Because no order of continuance
was issued before expiration of the
terra of court for which the Jury
was empaneled Judge Skipworth
holds that at the time of making
the Luper indictment "the grand
Jury was 'dead as a door nail' and
burled so deep no power on earth
could resurrect It."
Judge Skipworth was assigned to
bear the Luper case at the request
of Judge McMahan, against whom
attorneys for the defendant were
preparing to file affidavits of prej

TO RE-LICENSE
The I'pdnrnl ratlin nmrnianlnn tn. I
dny decided to renew the licenses
of four subsidiaries of the Radio
Corporation of America. .
The commission's vote was five
to two.
"It is the opinion of a majority
of the commission," said a state
ment made public after the com
mission meeting, "that the Judg
ment of the District Court of Dela
ware in the case of Arthur D. Lord,
receiver, agalnBt the Radio Corpo
ration of America is not such judg
ment as is designed in section 13
of the radio act and It is hereby
decided that the renewal license
should not be denied the applicants
heard by the commission on June
15, 1931."
Commissioners Saltzman and
Sykes dissented from the majority
decision. . , ' "
Section 13 of the radio act pro
hibits issuance of licenses to any
firm "finally adjudged- guilty" of
creating or attempting to create a
monopoly in the radio Industry.
In the Delaware case, tube sale
contracts between the Radio Cor.

T IS
HERE TO LECTURE
Prof. Francis E. Householder,
Ph., P.A.S.N.. of Los Angeles and
New York, often accepted as the
world's outstanding numerologiat,
1b in Medford today and may be
heard In lectures here soon, he
unnouncud this morning.
Professor Householder Is author
of "Four Basic Principles of Nu
merology,' published in 1921, the
book which has held its place as
the most popular one In he Los
Angeles library for the past 10
years.
Professor Householder is mak
ing a tour of the northwest giving
lectures on the fascinating subject,
which is enjoying a larger follow
ing each year. He usually spends
his winters in Los Angeles and. his
bu mirrors at his New York head
quarters. , . .
Hpeuklng of this science and
methods for numbering yourself,
Professor Householder . gave a
Hhort resume this morning testing
the analysis of Hpnry Ford to show
just how numerology works.
"When you find the numbers
given by your birth date," he stat
ed, "your name and the town and
state you live In, you enn test the
Hultablllty of your occupation. If
its number brings the total that
can bo reduced to 9 it Is the work
for you. If not- you are engaged
In the wrong occupation or live in
the wrong place, and this lack of
ourrespomlence indicates that you
can find a better position or city
to live In."
An analysis of Henry Ford, car
ried on In this manner shows, of
course, that the manufacturing of
automobiles Is his perfect occupa
tion .
Professor Householder was
working out numberscopes for
several persons about town this
morning and his results show that
If he remains In Medford to give
lectures, as he plans, the old say
ing "I've got your number"' will
lake on a new significance.

desperate men, cursed tho jury

At Falalse, In Normandy, where
William the Conqueror was born,
a bronze tablet Is unveiled, show
ing scenes In the Norman conquest
of England.
There should be something on
that tablet about William's mother,
Arietta, a Norman peasant girl,
daughter of a tanner, of whom Wil
liam waa an Illegitimate son by tho
Duke of Normandy called "Kobert
the Devil."
The world knows all about Wil
liam, too tittle about Arietta,
whom Robert the Devil subsequent
ly married. She must have been
an able young woman. Another of
her sons,, broad shouldered, blond
giant and a bishop, rode beside his
hall' brother, William the Conquer
or, at the battle of Hastings and
was killed there.
The world knows too little about
mothers of great men. It Is as
though we admired pictures, never
asking the names or the artists.

versity, says "more education"
must supply the way out of our
troubles. "Our own follies and In
mopetence" have produced present
conditions, and "if education Is sup
posed to train Intelligence, we
must concede that education has
signally tailed, so far."
M
That reminds you of needier,
who replied to one who said Chris
tianity has fulled: "It hasn't been
tried."
Perhaps REAL education has not
been tried. We put children In
schools and collegos, far away from
real life, teach them that Colum
bus discovered America In 1492,
whon tho Turks took Constantino
ple, and a few other things not Im
portant in later life.
We submit them to examina
tions, more brutalizing than con
structive, for which they prepare
with the joyful thought that they
will forge the answer to every
question as Boon as possible.
Dr. Hutchlns Is trying to find a
better way of educating and a more
satisfactory plan for examinations.
If be succeeds he will render great
service.
