President Harding is seen here recommending to Congress that
the "costly epeiment" in the shipping business be brought to an
end and advising that ship subsidy legislation is necessary to put the
American flag foremost on the seas. The administration has pointed
out that an American merchant marine is as vital to farmer and the
inland manufacturer as to the business men on the seaboard. Ships
are the railroads of international commerce carrying American man
ufactures to all corners of the earth. Ships spell increased trade
and steady employment.

aspects of radio is written from a
viewpoint not often presented to the
puoiic at large. My purpose is to
show it as an auxiliary to commerce
rather than to stress the more famil
iar keynote of the wonders of wire
less," which have heen the subject of
many articles in the daily press. True,
it is very baffling, from a scientific
"reason why" standpoint, but so is
electricity, which no one has yet been
able to define.
The single fact that radio commun
ication is the one medium capable of
placing isolated communities in in
stant touch with the centers of civili
zation has a boundless appeal to the
imagination. That, too, it has for
ever, until it becomes a general
household utility it will probably re
main in the public mind as something
very mysterious, a sort of witch
craft, interesting, but making little
appeal for intimate acquaintance,
and comparatively few people realize
that this means of communication
has already a fixed place in the
world's affairs; that it is, in fact, an
economic factor of major importance,
and world wide in its applicability,
The Reason Why.
The underlying reason for the rap
id strides it has made is not because
of its romantic, intangible or myster
ious nature. Its important position
is due solely to its utility, in combin
ation with the three essentials of ac
curacy, speed and economy.
In addition to providing mariners
with weather reports, storm signals
and warnings of possible dangers to
navigation, it enables passengers at
sea to keep in touch with world af
fairs and with the movements of
commerce and industry. Daily news
bulletins are published on practically
all of the ocean going vessels and
transactions of great magnitude and
of momentous importance are being
carried on constantly between ship
and shore through the medium of
radio communication.
In its international application, ra
dio is today carrying overseas a very
material percentage of the world's
communications. Radiograms, com
mercial and social, aggregating mil
lions of words annually, are being
sent daily across the Atlantic! and Pa
cific oceans. These are regular paid
communications, filed just as cable
grams are, and delivered with the ac
curacy and speed so essential to the
users of long distance communica
tion. Direct wireless service is main
tained, night and day, with Great Bri
tain, France, Germany, Norway, Ha-
waii and Japan, at rates which are
from four to twenty-four cents per
word lower than the cable rates.
Economy being the keynote of com
merce, the enormous total saving ef
fected by the use of radio in the con
duct of international communications
makes it a matter of vital interest to
everyone, and this interest has mani
fested itself in the constantly grow
ing number of countries which are
adopting radio as a means of com
munication, and which are construct
ing wireless stations with which to
carry on this communication direct
with other countries already thus
equipped.
A Radio Advantage.
Another great advantage possess
ed by radio is what might be termed
its universality, with reference to
communication with seveal distant
points at the same time. This was
illustrated on the occasion of the for
mal opening of Radio Central, a su
perpowred station of the Radio Cor
poration of America, located at a
point on Long Island about sixty-five
miles distant from New York City.
On November 5th, 1921, President
Harding threw a switch in the White
House, and a message which he had
prepared for broadcasting to the
world ran through a mechanical
transmitter and the words, carried by
land wire to Radio Central were flung
into space without the intervening
agency of a human hand.
The first answer came back in
stantly. Others followed close upon
it. Acknowledgements were receiv
ed from such widely scattered points
as Norway, Germany, France, Italy
England, Belgium, Sweden, Hawaii,
Canada, Cuba, Japan, New Zealand,
Panama, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ni
caragua, Honduras and Australia.
This fact of the universality 6f
radio has a further application in
the broadcasting of news, market,
weather and crop reports, lectures,
sermons, etc., through the medium
of broadcasting stations which are in
direct communication with thousands
of wireless stations maintained by
amateurs in all parts of the country
and in this respect it is of especial
value to isolated communities, out of
touch otherwise with current happen
ings and with the world's progress.

When a feller gets sick, as we
sometimes do, the sun don't shine,
nor the sky ain't blue. ... Bat the
wind turns cold, an' the clou Is look
black, when we shift from feet, to the
flat of our back. . . an' we hurl bad
words at our blasted luck, till the Doc
comes in, with the pizen truck, an'
he looks us over, inside an' out, to
find if it's fever, or chills, or gout.
. It might be measles, or mumps,
or pip, it couia De tiu, or tne uog
gone grippe, we may have fits, or
it may be faints, or, more than like,
it's a dozen complaints. ... So, the
Doc bombards "em, with shot an
shell, till, fust thing we know, we're
around an' well!
It's about that way with our human
life, which largely consists of man

has awakened a wide interest in all
parts of the world, and with the rapid
development of the wireless tele
phone persons in remote districts, as
well as passengers at sea, are pnv

Not a day passes but our daily pa

the prediction that in the not far dis

The Free Public Library

"The library is a vital factor in
every persons life. Library facilities
should be made available as far as
as possible to everyone," says Miss

Libraries in the small towns are j
helpless as a rule because of the lack
of sufficient funds. A Jirbary loca
ted either at the county seat or the
town best suited to the purpose,
would be the better way of solving
the small town library problem. The
central library could loan books to
all the towns of the county. A wider
and more complete selection-of read
ing material would then be available
for all.
Oregon laws provide for the levy
ing of taxes by counties and towns
for the maintaing of free public li
braries. The appointment of a board
of five citizens to manage the library
and funds is also provided for.
Consulting the state librarian, is
the first step in' the starting of a li
brary. The librarian can offer valu
able advice and can recommend a
good librarian to take charge.
A saving of money, a selection of
only the best equipment, and a great
er amount of efficiency in starting the
library, will be made possible by the
hiring of a competent librarian. She
is most familiar with the work. The
board at best is a group of busy peo
ple who can not afford to give as
much time as the librarian.
A poor selection of books is guard
ed against by a 1021 ammendment to
the Oregon laws. To buy books
which are not on an approved list is
sued by the American library associa
tion, is unlawful for a library not
having an income in excess of $2500
a year.
"Establish the library first in some
rented building. Prove that it is of
value to the community. Something
workable is necessary before a per
manent building can be thought of.
Above all, ask the advice of the state
librarian before starting a movement
to establish a library," is the counsel
of Miss Haley.

Homey Philosophy for 1922
The greatest thing in the world we
get for nothing if we want it educa
tion but half of us don't know
where to look for it. We have an idea
it is all locked up in the little red
schol house or the palatial university
just as if education was book learn
ing instead of development of mind
and heart, the knowing of useful
things and the expansion of our best
qualities. Education doesn't begin
until schooling ends. It is then we
meet the real teachers other men
and women, the birds, the flowers,
the soul of books, the great expanse.
Soon before we go to work we'll
pick up our "talkers" and say to the
people over in India "Good morning,
boys. How are you fellows getting
along over there?" and then we'll
learn. The invisible school house has
just opened.
How the Suit Dollar Is Divided
Presumably the American Woolen
company will not send a vote of
thanks to C. J. Fawcett, director of
the wool marketing department of
the American Farm Bureau Federa
tion for his disclosures regarding the
tiavcls of the suit buyer's dollar. It
appears that on a suit of clothes
which retails at $40 the wool grow
er's share is $1.96. Hence the wool
grower's part of the suit buyer's dol
lar is 4.9 cents. Also a few other
fallacies are exploded as for exam
ple the statement that domestic wool
is not suited to the manufacture of
the better grades of men's wear.
There is no better wool in the world
than American wool. The injection
of cotton and shoddy into fabrics has
swelled the coffers of manufacturers
who in addition have offered as an
excuse for inferiority the poor qual
ity of domestic wool. As the situa
tion stands the wool growers get
but a small share of the money and
for their product condemnation in
stead of praise.
