HUGHES

Charles Evans Hughes, defeated
candidate in the presidential race in
1916 when Woodrow Wilson copped'
the honors, is again a potential pros-
pect for highest honors in the execu-
tive marathon of the nation. As sec-
retary of state in the Harding cabinet
his outstanding acconiplishment was
the Washington conference on 'Dis-
armament. When Coolidge came ihto
officerafter the demise of the Marion,
0. publisher, Hughes, like most other
members of the national executive's
advisory body retained his state sec-
retaryship chair. His accomplish-,
ment in public life in the past coupl'ed
with his scholarly - achievements inl
many colleges and universities will
no douht greatly enhance in the public
eye his desirability as a chief execu-
tive. There are many, especially in
the eastern section of the country
who will not forget his two terms in
the governor's mansion' 6f New York.
The secretary of state's life was,
spent, at least for the fore part of his
carer in intellectual pursuits. Born
in Great Falls, New York, April 11,
1862, his life from the time he was old
enough to read and write was spent in
one institution of learning or another.

up a practice in Birmingham, Ala.
His political career started in 1892,
when he was named chairman of the
denocratic executive". committee for
the ninth district of the state of Ala-
bama. He then became chairman of

pat in the adoption of the present
cohstitution of the state. He was
elected to the House of Representa-
tives in 1895; where he' served until
1915. During his last term, he was
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee of the House.
Zn 1915, he was 'elected to 'the Sen-a
ate from Alabama, and at the expira-
tion of his first term was re-eiected

cane the Democratic leader of the
Senate. He also was a Commissioner'
Plenipotentiary at the Conference for

;ed Cross work' as the Counselor of
the AmerIcan Red 'Cross. Because of
his work with the Red Cross he was
4elocted as a member of the American
ilelegaton who conferred with . the
Oermans on the treatment and ex
change of prisoners at Berne, Switzer-
land, in September, 1918.

Transmits 5 Miles
Radio engineers have now proved
beyond aty doubt that badly coupled
regenerative circuits can not only
rebroad'cast reeption bit'can be used
as broadcasting stations themselves,
it was announced in Chicago yester-
day. Experiments were made in
which a microphone was inserted be-
tween the set and the ground and it
was found that a distance of more
than five miles could be reached with
words spoken into the apparatus.
This is one of the gratest distances
ever.attained in an experiment of this!
kind, and- according to authorities,
'm'ay Mark the opening of a huge new
field of amateur broadcasting. If, with
little added expense, the thousands of
radio receiving sets of this type can
be converted into small broadcasting
stations there is reason to believe
that a' few years will find the air
flooded with short distance neighbor-
to-neighbor conversations. Such a
condition would greatly interfere
with reception.

Rollin White, one of the in-
dustvy's most distinguished
engineers spent several years
and a king's ransom on experi-
mental work, studying foreign
motor design, to find the secret
of the perfect Four.
Now his new car is ready.
In his presentation of "the
Rollin he gives to the world a
new Four in its most highly
developed form.
As a matter of fact, Mr.
White went the best of the
European engineers cne better.
For not only did he design a
most efficient, small displace-
ment, high compression mo-
tored car, but he coupled qtan-
tity production with it, which
makes possible a very attractive
price.
The Rollin has 4-wheel brakes"
of the internal type. No other
car in America selling under
$1000 has this type of brake.
The Rollin has Firestone Bal-
