Campaign Tour
R. B. Howell, in Lincoln
Speech, Opposes Cancel
' lation of Debts, Favori
Soldier Bonus.
Lincoln. June 22. (Special.) R
B. llowtll t( Omaha, candidate for
the republican nomination or United
.Main senator, delivered (lie opening
speech of hi formal campaign at the
Linden hotel here toniaht. He an
notinced that he will start immediate
ly upon a tour of the state which will
uke him into til districts.
Air. nowcii reiterated his stand m
fator of prohibition. He opposed
the cancellation of debts owed this
country by foreign nations, favored
adjusted compensation for soldiers,
urged greater business cfticicnry in
tlif conduct of government, defended
tht direct primary and declared his
willingness to co-operate with the so
called farm bloc in congress.
Aa to the tariff, Mr. Howell said:
''I, am for a rational tariff policy, but
against any schedule devised for the
purpose of fostering or maintaining
a monopoly. In fact, I believe that
tariff legislation should be so framed
as. to destroy monopoly where pos
sible." Cites Expense Cut

teotion to the reduction of govern
ment expense by the Harding admin
istration. The democratic adminis
tration left the country burdened, he
said, by an unprecedented debt. It
wis the result of the war, but the
satne cause also brought on the busi
ness depression and this last can no
m$re be charged to the republican
pafty than the war to the democratic
paty.
Jfctwithstanding this, however,"
continued, "the degree of pros
perity we are enjoying is such as to
be the marvel of economists at home
and abroad, and it is coming to be
recognized that prohibition one of
the compensations of the war is
largely responsible. Prohibition was
a Jesuit of the war and, if we cling
tc it without flinching, this country
will ultimately be repaid beyond all
thi cost of the war."
Charges Profligacy.
jThe United States government,
uflder the Wilson administration,
dealt in the most profligate manner
with the money raised by liberty
loans, charged Mr. Howell. Loans
were made to European nations, he
said, without exchange of bonds and
brt a basis which leaves us now not
only without payment of any con
siderable part of the principal but
with but a fraction of the interest.
'We should deal fairly and justly
with thes nations." .said Mr. How
elj, "but ultimately we should col
lect every dollar of that debt."
Speaking of the soldier bonus, Mr.
Howell said:
J Must Depend on Volunteers.
J."We must depend in the future as
.tfthe past upon a volunteer, willing
soldiery. The arguments against ad
justed compensation are entirely
overcome by what such generous
action will mean in the response of
its young men to any future call.
Moreover, if the burden of the ne
cessary taxation is placed upon the
wealth of the country, no injustice
wjll be done."
fMr. Howell reviewed the railroad
situation at length. Regulation by
t.rje Interstate Commerce commis
sion has developed to a point where
af guaranty of railroad profits is
qjite as much the purpose as protec
tion of the public, he declared He
ufoed a restoration of . competition
ajj 'the one" means of avoiding the
necessity of government ownership.
I One Course to Pursue,
f'llt may be ultimately," he said,
"that we shall have to consider gov
ernment ownership, that the railroad
capitalist will force our hand. In
such case there is just one course to
pjirsue take over one of the great
lines, not all of then. The govern
ment must develop knowledge of
railroad operation by trial, not by
starting in oil a big scale at once.
Furthermore, the operation of one
line would force' down rates of pri-vktely-owned
lines and also reduce
the price at which the government
could buy them at the proper time."
t Instead of subsidizing a merchant
marine privately-owned, Mr. Howell
urged that the government continue
to operate its ships and do so on
recognized business standards.
I Mr. Howell also recommended

ratisit4 Trm Veners.J
The morning after the had told
Violet the had hnally broken with
Mr. Green of the ribbon department,
she sought that unfortunate gentle
man as he stood waiting for cus
tomers, looking very miserable and
more significant than usual.
His sallow face flushed when he
saw Olive. He came forward with
nervous eagerness, rubbing his
hands. One would have thought at
the very least that she was a duch
ess come for the express purpose of
buying up the entire stock, judging
by the look of pleasurable anticipa
tion on his face.
The poor little man had passed a
wretched night. He had not slept a
wink. He had bedewed his pillow
with love-lorn tears; He had risen
at dawn and penned a despairing let
ter to Olive, which he destroyed as
soon as it was finished, possibly be
cause he realized it was a futile
appeal.
There was no doubt that he wa
genuinely in love with her. He ad
mired her more than any woman he
had ever seen, and as he proudly
reminded her he saw many, many
women during the pursuance of his
duty. Olive gave him a careless
good morning as he came up to her.
She frowned a little as she spoke.
She hated the servile curve of hiv
back and the way he rubbed his
plump hands. She had told him
plainly the previous evening that
she was sick of him, and it was no
more than the truth. She was sick
of him, but she thought he might
ctill be useful.
"I'm sorry tp trouble you, Mr.
Green," she said conciliatingly, "I
hope you are not very busy, but if
you have a moment to spare "
Mr. Green protested that all his
life was at her disposal. He had
protested the same thing a hun
dred times before. If he had not it
would have been a good deal better
for. him. Olive hated what the called
"crawling worms." She would
have been the slave of a man who
could master her. Unfortunately,
she had never yet come across one.
"I don't want your life," she said
with a not unkind laugh. "I only
want a little bit of it, at least. Can
vou find out for me where Ronald
Hastings, of Violette's lives his
private address, I mean?"
Mr. Green's receding jaw dropped.
He pulled at the silk lapel of his
frock coat with nervous hands. He
looked very much as jf he would
have liked to burst, into tears.'
Olive was right when she said he
was weak he was; most pitiably.
But he would have given his life for
her had she desired if, and given it
gladly. Love such as that is not
without its merits, but Olive would
have greatly preferre1 a fine looking
man. and less love, could she have
chosen., Appearances counted great
ly for happiness with her.
"Well?" she exclaimed sharply, as
he made on answer.
Mr. Green besran to stammer a re
ply. In an instant he had seen a for
midable rival. in Ronald Hastings.
He was insanely jealous of every
man who looked at Olive. He asked
her what she wanted with his ad
dress. "You're not dont say you're
leaving Gat wicks?" he implored.
Olive laughed. She was-pleased at
his evident distress, -
"Of course not, Edward," she
said. She unbent sufficiently to use
his Christian name. "I only wanted
to know: it's iust a little matter of
business. Can sou find out for me?
You know so many people, ana i
don't know where to inquire.
Mr. Green raised his shoulders
fractionally. He liked her tribute to
his extensive acquaintance. He prom
ised to see what he could do.
"He's awav a ereat deal," he said
importantly. "I'm not at atl sure that
he isn't in New York now." In his
heart he sincerely hoped he was, but
Olive laughed.
"Oh, no, he isn't; he's in London
very much in London," she added,
thinking of. the letter she had seen
addressed to him two nights before
in Violet's handwriting.
As she turned to go Mr. Green
followed timidly.
"You didn't mean what you said
last night?" he pleaded abjectly.
"You were only playing with me,
Olive?"
One of the assistants hurried up.
He thrust a cash book under Mr.
Green's nose.
"Sign!" he said laconically. Olive
escaped.
Olive went straight to Violet's
room when she got home that night.
She was feeling very pleased with
herself, for just as she left Gatwick's
a paper had been brought to her
from Mr. Green.
"Darling Olive The address you
want is 218 Hyde Park, but I am
surehe is in New York."
Olive made a mental note of the
address and tossed the paper away.
She had so many notes from Mr.
Green. There was no longer any
novelty about them.
Violet was not home when she
pushed open the door, but Ronnie
was having supper in his nightshirt.
He sat on a high chair, his small,
bare toes peeping out from beneath
the hem, feeding himself with bread
and milk from a bowl Violet had
brought him with a picture on it of
the cow jumping over the moon. He
gravely offered Olive a spoonful;
Olive shook her head. Sh stared at
Ronnie interestedly. She tried to
commit his face to memory. She
found it a very pretty face; she
wished, her own sallow skin had the
same wild rose tinge.
Mrs. Higgs, who was standing by,
chuckled.
"Bless 'is pretty 'eart," she said,
"e's that unselfish."
Ronnie looked from one woman
to the other gravely. He solemnly
indicated Mrs. Higgs with a milky
spoon.
"She's only got one eye," he said
to Olive. "Why haven't you only
got one eye?"
"Goodness gracious," said Olive
She had never had anything to do
with children; she found Ronnie
rather disconcerting.
Mrs. Higgs moved to the door.
"If it's as you're going to stay,
Miss Hale." she said, "I'll be getting
on with the work; there's plenty to
do, Laud knows. Miss Ingleby says
as 'ow she'd be 'ome early tonight."
"O, I'll stay." said Olive. The
door closed on Mrs: Higgs.
Olive roamed around the room.
,She was a very restless person. Shcj
came to stand before the table on
which stood a targe hatbox bearing
the name in gold tetters, Violette &
Co. bhe frowned little. The box
had not been opened: it was tied
with yellow ribbons. Olive pulled
an end.
"Dat'i for my mummy girt," said
Ronnie reientedly from the high
chair.
Olive started. She had forgotten
about Ronnie; she looked round at
him rather guiltily.
"Oh, the won't mind," the said
easily. She always lets me look at
her things." She pulled off the lid.
A black hat with small bunched
roses nettled invitingly in a bed of
soft paper. Olive lifted it with cries
of delight; there was a mans card
attached to it "Ronald Hastings."
Olive bit her lip; a tinge of jeal
ousy shot through her. She had
never had such a hat in her life
and from Hastings of all people.
Violet had never told her that she
was sufficiently friendly with the
young millionaire to warrant his giv
ing her such a present 1 She carried
it over to the gU nd tried it on.
She thought it suited her to perfec
tion. She turned this way and that
delightedly. She wondered if Violet
would give it to her by any chance.
Sly, little cat that Violet wast Olive
had never suspected her of such un
derhand dealings. She bad always
looked upon her as, absurdly inno
cent and apparent; ' the discovery
angered her.
Ronnie ventured another protest
almost tearfully.
"Dat's my mummy girl's."
Olive threw the hat down on the
bed.
"Drat the kid I" she said under her
breath.
Mrs. Higgs opened the door. She
held a card between her finger and
thumb; she looked aggrieved.
"There's a gentleman to see Miss
Ingleby. He says he must see her;
he says it's important.
"Taint no use my saying she's not
at 'ome. 'E says 'e'll wait, so I
thought maybe, Miss 'Ale, as you'd
speak to 'im for me!"
"What's he like?" asked Olive
eagerly, she thought for a moment
that it might be Ronald Hastings.
Mrs. Higgs considered.
'"E's shabby," she said at length.
"Oh!" Olive took the card from
Mrs. Higgs' finger and thumb. She
was no longer particularly interested;
it was evident nobody of much con
sequence. She read the name on the
cheaply printed pasteboard.
"Mr. Leslie Martin," and under
neath was something hastily oblier
ated in pencil.
She had never heard of him. and
she flattered herself that she knew
most of Violet's acquaintances at
any rate, by name. She hesitated,
then she said slowly.
"I'll come down and speak to him."
Mrs. Higgs departed, and Olive
waited a moment to read the obliter
ated words. She read them out
slowly, and with great difficulty.
"Mr. Leslie Martin,
Ager's Private Detective Agency."
"Oh. my stars I" said Olive. She
gasped with excitement. She gath
ered up her skirts and flew down the
stairs.
If Olive Hale had expected to find
Leslie Martin an interesting char
actar, she was disappointed; he
looked painfully ordinary and em
barrassed as he stood on the top door
step of the flight leading up to the
front door, and twisted a somewhat
shabby bowler hat in his hands,
H turned eagerly at sound of her
footsteps, from a somewhat melan
choly scrutiny of the street; his face
fell when he met the curiosity of her
dark eyes.
"1 asked for Miss Ingleby," he
said.
"I know, hut she's out. She's a
great friend of mine. If you care to
leave a message " Olive brought
the battery of her eyes to bear upon
him, but Martin seemed unconscious
of the arch glance that had so en
slaved poor Mr. Green of the rib
bon department.
He answered almost curtly.
"Thank you, I don't care to leave
a message; I will call again. What
time will Miss Ingleby be at home?"
"I don't know; she is very erratic.
The last few nights she has been very
late." Olive laughed meaningly. She
implied that there was an excellent
reason for Violet staying out. Mar
tin flushed; he felt a sudden tighten
ing of his heart strings; he had
thought of Violet with disturbing
frequency since he had last seen her;
he moved away abruptly 'and re
turned the shabby bowler to his
head.
"I will call again," he said as he
went down the steps.
Olive looked after him with chag-.
rin.
"No message?" she asked shrilly.
She was dying (with curiosity to
know what his errand could be.
"No, thank you;" he was on the
path now. He looked back at her.
"Thank you all the same," he added
reluctantly.
Olive smiled.
"Oh. please don't mention it I am
sorry Miss Ingleby is out; if I can do
anything for you at any time, I shall
be pleased. My name is Olive Hale
" . She broke off; a girl turned
the street corner and was hurrying
breathlessly towards the house; she
stopped dead when she saw Martin.
Her face went dreadfully white.
Martin hurried towards her; he
said something in an undertone which
Olive could not catch, but Violet
answered him with a voice of high
pitched nervousness.
"How dare you follow me here?
You gave me your word you would
leave me alas. I only ask for five
days. What do you want?"
She became suddenly conscious of
Olive's presence. She stood silent,
white and trembling. Olive turned
away and went slowly back up the
stairs to Violet's room; she felt ex
cited and interested; she was posi
tive now that something serious was
the matter. Violet had not looked
white and shaken for nothing; she
lit a cigaret and sat down in the one
easy chair to wait. Ronnie had fin
ished his bread and milk; he was nod
ding sleepily over the empty basin.
Olive eyed him with a mixture of
amusement and contempt She could
not bear children; she had never will
ingly held one in her life; for the
second time she reluctantly admitted,
however, as she looked at Ronnie,
that he was verv pretty.

Bugbear of Radio
Now in Atmosphere
"Strays" and "Summer Static"
Play Intermittently With
Wits of Wireless Bugs.
June is the month of "summer
static," nature's own wireless trans
mitter, also known as the bugbear
of radio.
Static is more troublesome to the
more sensitive receiving sett where
several steps of amplification are
used. It is more prevalent in sum
mer, due to the higher temperature
of the air. Heat electricity it formed
in the air and gradually collects upon
the antenna until a sufficient charge
has been built up to break down
the natural resistance of the receiv
ing set..
It then discharges through the pri
mary of the receiving transformer to
the ground. Due. to the highly damp
ened quality of this discharge it per
means the whole receiving set and
cannot be tuned out.
Another cause of static is the close
proximity of two clouds, one of
which is charged with negative elec
tricity, the other with positive. The
resulting spark discharge sets up
chain of highly dampened oscilla
tions which are impossible to tunc
out. These "strays," as they are
called, are much more prevalent on
long waves than on the shorter ones
used by the broadcasting stations.
Close Tuning. v
No practical method has yet been
discovered that will eliminate static,
although there are ways by which it
may be reduced. The most common
method is by the use of a very loose
coupling between primary and sec
ondary of the receiving transformer.
By tuning the secondary into very
close resonance with the primary at
such frequency at which reception is
desired, the signal will readily pass
through but moderate strength
static of no definite wave length will
pass through to ground without af
fecting the secondary circuits in re
spect to which it is out of resonance.
Another method of reducing static
is by the use of an antenna of small
capacity; that is, one that offers only
a small surface for "strays" to collect
on. An antenna having one wire will
have this effect A loop antenna will
almost entirely eliminate horizontal
static (that which comes from long
distance, caused by a distant storm).
This will not overcome local static,
however.

Sparks
For the beginner in radio, "Rad'o
Receiving," published by the Mac
Millan company, is recommended.
The little book answers the universal
question: "How can I receive radio?"
It tells in nontechnical language the
various set-ups for radio sets front
the simplest to the most efficient.
Directions and explanations of
radio hook-ups and construction of
home made sets are given in "The
Home Radio," published by Harper
& Brothers. The directions are illus
trated by ' diagrammatic figures.
They are intended and designed par
ticularly for the use of amateurs in
radio. A. Hyatt Verrill is the author.
