All such cases of questionable transac- tions are now being handled by at- torneys attached to the war transac- tions section of the department of Justice or by U. S. Attorneys through- out the country. Of the 425 cases which have passed the review, 250 came from the war de- partment, 70 fron the navy, and 50 from the shipping board. Additional cases are developing from day to day, the Attorney General said.. TRADE MARK APPROPRIATION CALLED LEGAL IN ARGENTINE Buenos Aires, Oct. 1 (By Mal).-j "The appropriation of foreign trade marks in Argentine is legal but not moral," said Federal Judge Escobar when summing up in a suit brought by an American soap manufacturing concern against a local firm which had barred the Americans from selling in Argentina because it had registered, the American company's trade mark for itself. Judge Escobar said that, unfortun- ately, the laws of Argentina indirectly encouraged the appropriation of for- eign trade marks and, in view of pre- cedents created, he would have to non-suit the complaining company. He was sorry, he added, that he could not deal with the question from .a moral standpoint. The 'Buenos Aires firm has an-1 nounced that it will appeal for the withdrawal of the words in the sum- ming up that reflect on its ethical con- duct. MEXICAN PLAYWRIGHTS WOULD BAR FOREIGN-MADE PLAYS Mexico City, Oct. 16 (By Mail)-The newly formed union of playwrights here and the union of theater em- ployes are now demanding that none but their own works be produced on the local stage, except by special per- -mission. Mexican dramatists lead a busy life, and those who are regularly employed at the dozen or so theaters here are required to produce at least two en- tirely new shows every week. They are fond of making current politics' in Mexico their theme, and as a re- sult. some of the most caustic com- ments on the present administration may be found in the theaters. Only recently, following the return of sec- retary de la Huerta from New York where he negotiated with Mexico's creditors, a sketch was so adversely critical that it was ordered discon- tinued. I German Talking Film Exhidited (Continued from Page Nine.) the stripes to the "electrical eye." The "eye" is a bulb through which an electrical stream passes. Its interior, surface is partially coated with a chemical substance possessing the property of separating electrons. As this process develops, the conducting power of the photozelle increases. Thel electrical stream passing through it increases or diminishes with the vol- ume of the sound waves. These phenomena are again ampli- fied and recorded by the "electrical mouth."r This instrument comprises mainly a membrane 30 centimeters in diameter which is vibrated by elec- tricity rather than by magnetism. It! is claimed to be the first actually workable telephone capable of trans- mitting loud speaking. No Jhonograph Needed' Thus the sounds issue out into the air from the membrane at the same time the picture is projected. The "gramophone" element is eliminated entirely, yet to a person in the audi- ence the sounds seem to be coming from, an instrument of that kind set up immediately behind the screen where the picture appears. At the public demonstration the pro-f gram included sounds as varied as{ a pig's squeal and the tunes of a bar- rel organ, to arias from leading operas. A short speech of introduction was given by the same means in Ger- man, English and French. One num- ber was a recitation, other features were vocal and instrumental, and one act of a drama was reproduced. In the last mentioned the tinkling of a hand-bell rung by one of the charac- ters was heard coinciding with the: movement in the picture, and the footsteps of actors walking about aE bare floor were reproduced realistic- ally in sound. Sounds Are Life-like In another section of the program there was the very life-like barking of a dag, and the sounds of the ani- mal's claws could be distinctly heardI as it moved restlessly about on aI wooden bench. Generally speaking, the reproduc- tion appeared to function better for staccato sounds, such as 'the notes of' the xylophon, flute, clarinet, and man- dolin. In violin and 'cello playing, and in singing tones of very high or low register, there was considerable mechanical scraping such as one hearsE froma worn record on a talking machine. L.

If I guess right and write the way I guess, you won't throw this letter in the wastebasket and call the author a damn fool, but will read it through to the end and say, "Well, there's something to this fellow, after all," and your in- terest will be piqued so that you will answer, which is the end sought At this point I might tell you what it is that I want you to write me about, but I don't want to do that too abruptly for the reason that you might think me a sordid business man and not a literary one, which I am. My field is the short story. I haven't written any yet, but I am thinking of contributing one or two that I have thought of to the Saturday Evening Post. I am fast rounding myself out in the technic of the art, for I am taking a three hour course in How To Write Short Stories here at the University, and another two hour course in Titles Which Sell And Titles Which Don't. After I grad- uate in June I think I will start in pn those two stories. But meantiem I am trying to keep myself in dance tickets each Friday and Saturday night by selling the Remington Portable Typewriter. I've only been a salesman a week and haven't sold any yet, but I expect to sell a lot. I heard that you had sold your Corona and had bought a Remington. Knowing, as I do, that theRemington is the best machine pA the market I do not doubt it a bit, and what I've got the gall to ask you to do is to write me a short letter telling me what you think of it, that is, providing your thought is favorable, and I will insert this thought in the Michigan Daily and then sit down and await results. I hardly expect you to answer but I won't be mad if you dp. Yours truly, S. H. CONKEY, Salesman. 1128-J. Will IRVIN S.
