(MaJJJ Steps to boycott all European merchants who have re sorted to the American national colors for ( advertising purposes have been taken this summer by American tourists who have been chocked at the extensive use made of the Stars- and Stripes to draw attention to numerous kinds ot wares in. various countries. It ha been pointed out by tour ists that there is scarcely a city on the 'continent which has been frequented by. Americans where the combination of red, white and blue in one form or another hah not been used as an advertising medium, and the word has been passed around by travelers to giv-3 such stores and shops a wide berih wherever possible. ; j Tourists have reported that in a few instances where the atten tion of dealers was called to the improper use being made of the American flag for advertising, the practice was given up at once. On the other hand, however, other patriotic Americans say that their protests were ignored altogether bv merchants nri tHa Knin re mained in the display windows, o over the shop doors or in some other position where they had been placed to draw attention. ; Travelers who have made in vestigations in several countries say that there are no laws cover ing the use of the American na tional colors for advertising pur poses and that on this account American consular officials are powerless to take any action. In one of the principal streets of Moscow the Stars and Stripes were painted over a shoe repairing shop during the regime of Czar Nicholas II and the colors, dulled by agej and scattered scars of the Bolshevik revolution, are notice able to passers-by even j to this day. j Persons who understand English are able to read the time- worn lettering which says "Amer ican shoe repairing done here' printed over the American colore, but the old shoemaker himselt passed: out with the revolution.

BARTON Why not give a man a radio broadcast sentence, if he is care less; about putting out his camp lire? Perhaps, some plan can be worked out whereby the origin, of fires may be learned and made public by radio j broadcast, so quickly that ! public Interest can be aroused while the fire is still raging. Then, whatever the cause of the disaster, the public mind will be set to work considering ways and beans to minimize the fire damage to our forests in the future.- It is evident that all that is be ing ! done at the present time fails to diminish fire hazards in our forests. h . "Those who had their eardrums impaired by static two summers ago, are amazed at the perfect quality of music received from the Dig coast stations this season and trequeutly make inquiries on the subject. There are several reasons for this satisfying change. Probably improvement in broadcasting ap paratus has helped more than any other one thing; receiving sets have done their share to improve conditions, while tubes and other radio apparatus are Jn earing standards of reliability that were not known earlier. The super" set still divides the army of radio fans into two camps but appears to be slowly growing in popular tavor., Queer facts are constantly com ing to light- concerning radio. Some time ago, Saranac Lake, N. 1'., was suffering from some kind of radio interierence that could not berun to earth by the local tans. An expert was sent for and pre sently he discovered that a cheap heating pad - much used in that section was responsible for i the trouble. The town was then cleared of the objectionable inter ference although our correspond ent does not state what means were employed to eliminate 1 the pad waves. K . Owners of radio sets will be in terested to learn that the "pianist to whom they have listened with pleasure from stations KHJ and KFI, Evelyn Paddock Smith, is now in Salem for a few weeks. She is visiting with her husband at the home of hi family, and in cidentally she Is charming the leople . who have the privilege of hearing her in this "city. The tale of this artist's success in very like that of all other suc cessful artists. She has not reached out her hands and grasp ed public favor, but instead she has practiced eight hours a day tor years. , Cats are breaking into print rather often it seems. Not so long ago, the vagrant puss from the White House was quickly lo cated when an alarm; call was broadcast py radio, and now the cat heroine up in Washington-on-the coast, has rescued a family of sleeping people from the peril of fire. r'. , t I j J; ; : - We -grow "warmer" !as we ap proach the 5000 W sending sta tions. The rumors grow thicker and more colorful concerning the wonderful times to come, when any good set will bring the Atlan tic coast fubout as clearly as we now get our big western stations. K radio : engineer from one of the big companies passed through Salem -a few days ago. In re sponse to an inquiry ; about the possibility of hearing eastern sta tions inthe day time, he replied that such results were not to be looked for though there might be freak reception of that sort. DKET ASKED TO MEET TOM GIBBONS British Fans, Thrilled By Last Night's Battle, Want Champ Bout LOS ANGELES. Aug. 9. A tempting offer which may carry Jack Dempsey, world's heavy weight champion boxer, across the Atlantic to meet Tommy Gibbons in London was made to the cham pion by an English syndicate late today, it was announced here to night by Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager. ' ; '- The offer, Kearns declared, is of such attractiveness that it is impossible to ignore, and comes at a time when the champion has expressed a determination to abandon his more recent calling, motion picture acting. Dempsey, according to Kearns, has wearied of the grease paint, and yearning to get back Into the ring, will start training Monday in an effort to reach the pink of physical condition by October, so that he will be in a position either to accept the English offer or to meet the winner of the Wills Firpo bout next month.
