The radio station at Ketchikan ha->
been turned over from the navy de
partment to the army, and will hence
forth be run in connection with the
cable by the U. S. Signal Corps. The
Seward radio station now run by the
navy, should also be turned over to
the Signal Corps.
it would make f.t more economi
cal operation as the crew at the Se
ward office could be shifted quickly
to the station in cast of interruption
of set vice, and would alsc make for
a cheaper rate. The navy has long
refused to transfer the station to the
army, and yet refus s to operate it
itself. It is well equipped and can
operate with any other Alaskan sta
,'on. Communication with the west
ward is badly handicapped when the
local station is idle.

PHILADELPHIA, Auf .13.—Rad o
and the newspapers are playing an
important part in obtaining a word
to take the place of Jazz. Mayor Da
vis, head of the supposedly largest
orchestral organization in the wor d,
whose name is familiar to millions of
radio fans recently offered a prize
of one hundred dollars for a word
more truly descriptive of modern mu
sic. The contest closes Sept. 1 and,
up to the present t;me, more than
7,000 new words have been submit
ted for this purpose, which is a sig
nal 'proof cf the lively interest arous
ed among lovers of music and danc
ing by this subject.
It is interesting to r.ote the trend
of thought emanating from the vari
ous pails of the country, urban and
rural. To take a few at random, Ohio
for instance, ever mindful of prizes,
polities1 and otherwise, contributes
following: From Cincinnati, Wcwfan,
Peppo, Sopp. Meyertune, Ufon; while
Cleveland speaks right out and says
Hades Harmonies. Traveling east
ward, ihe City of Brotherly Love of
fers Kx’iera, while little old Rhode
Island bobs right up in class and says
Syncodavis—just like that! and in
this word there would seem to be
some logic- Wilmington, Delaware,
demurely suggests Rhapsode on and
lligsody . while Washington, D. C.,
profcttbly influenced by foreign con
sulates, thinks sv/. names as From
Fron, En Cadence, Melody Rythmic
and Rythmic-reverie might be appro
priate.
And now to the sunny south
where New Orleans, ever sanguine
and romantic as becomes its Latin
strain, suggests. Elysian, Elide and
Paradisa; while old Virginia, rem
iniscent of the days befo’ de wah,
Sah, when negro minstrelsy and
Ethiopian fantasy lent fanciful col
oring to the land beyond the Mason
and Dixon line, contributes Swazee,
Syncosway and Glideola.
Then with one bound to the Paci
fic coast, where San Francisco has
an idea that such creations as Gee
Miss, Mah Song and Snycomelo
might do. And so, too, they might,
did they not smack too strongly of
a free fight in a Chinese laundry.
Nor must we neglect the rural
districts—and here are a few of

ROYAL HEIR TURNS PRIEST TO
EXPIATE MOTHER’S SIN
Former Crown Prince George of
i Saxony ,\vho is to embrace the priest
hood at Trepnitz, to expiate the sins
j of his mother. Twenty-one years
i ago she was Queen Louise, consort
of Friedrich August III. She fled
the palace ,eloping with an Italian
pianist, leaving' her five children and
husband behind. A short time la
ter, a baby was born at the time the
King divorced her. After a deal of
wrangling the King recognized the
child as the Princess Monaco, but re
fused to recognize the mother. The
son ,now 31 years old, has lived all
his life with the thought that if he
did not do expiation for her soul, she
would go to perdition. The mother
is now teaching languages in Brus
sels.

versatility of that state and its

Volstead. Houma, La., comes to the
front with Merryhop and Locker.
Merryville ,La., gives Snappy de
•Snap and Tickle Toe. It is a strange
coincidence that more than 1,000 let
ters have been received giving the
name “Joy Music” as the new term
f >r Jazz. And, last but not least,
a certain facetious party in Provi
dence, R. I., sends a long list of
words and tells Mr. Davis to “pick
one and send the money to—” and
the name and address are written in
gold and so bold that there may be
no uncertainty on that point.
Thus does the tale unfold itself—
and it all proves one point very
conclusively, i. e-, that, as a dissem
inating as well as educational pow
er radio is an even greater factor
than was originally claimed for it.
