That' what thy used to tell us when we wire young and showed a disposition to vote with a hopeless minority. We thought then and we think now that he only throws his vote away who has failed to make it register his convictions. Voting with the majority has nothing: to do with it. We throw away our votes both when we vote for principles and candidates that are not our own and when we fail to vote at all. We are soldiers all. drafted for the battle for the common good. The ballot is our weapon and the ballot box our station. The citizen who wilfully or carelessly absents himself from the polling booth is as derelict in duty to the state as the soldier pho leaves his post in the line of battle. Last week on the anniversary of our nation's birth we joined with the throng that made holi day. But the test of our patriotism was not made that day, was not to be found in the interest with which we listened to the oft repeated tale of our country's glorious past, or the test with whic we tripped it on the light fantastic toe, watched the whirling sphere on the athlet ic field or joined in the fellowship and revelry of the feast That test wilt be made next November, and the proof of patriotism will ne the delivery at the Ark of the National Covenant of a ballot that gives expression to the thoughtful convictions of a citizen. To Hesitate is Safe ' It used to be "He who hesitates is lost" Now "He who hesi tates at grade crossings is safe," ays David R. Faries, General Counsel for the Automobile Club of Southern California. The old proverb that he who hesitates is lost doesn't apply to motorists on this side. of a rail road crossing. A moment's hisi tation to enable driver to look in both directions frequently msans the difference between safety and death or serious injury. During 1923 there were 2,208 fatalities and 6.314 injuries to persons at crossings of railways and highways in the United States. Of these accicpnts 84 1.2 7 J.

Radio Over Lighting Wires The baffling question as to who is to pay for radio broad casting is being solved in Staten Island, N. Y., where for the last IS months an engineering staff has been developing the "wired radio" inventions of Major Gen eral George O.Squier. Apparatus has already been perfected by which two different radio pro grams can be transmitted over the lighting wires from the Staten Island generating station. and within a short time equip ment for transmitting three programs will be completed. Tentative plans of Wired Radio, Inc., a North American Co.. subsidiary which is doing the development work, call for the eventual establishment of a nation-wide "wired radio" ser vice. This service will consist of three continuous programs from studios in New York. Chi cago. and a Pacific Coast city which will be sent over trunk wires to central generating sta tions in all parts of the country From the central stations these national programs (supplemented by local programs) will be trans mitted to subscribers via the lighting lines. Each subscriber will be provided, at a monthlv rental of $2, with, a small tuning device that is plugged into anv convenient lamp socket. Because a large percentage of the month ly rental receipts can be devoted to paying for talent, the expecta tions are that the wired radio programs will be of an exception ally high quality. per cent involved the- use of minor vemcies, o percent occurr ed to nmmanta nf rithor I w.
