THE RADIO CRAZE VERY WILD
$5,000’000 IS INVESTED
EACH WEEK
May Carry Cosversation With Mos'
Anyone, Anywhere When Prop-
erly Equipped.
Washington, D. C.—While Secretary
of Commerce Hoover is rushing
through his radio regulation plan, the
tremendous national interest in the
new means of communication is shown
hy the investment of more than $5,-
000,000 a week in the industry.
This estimate is made by H. Gems-
back editor of Radio News, and one
of the pioneers in radio activities
Seventy-five broadcasting stations in
the L'nited States serve more than
000,000 radio operators, both telegraph
and telephone. A large number of
these have intercommunication
through their own sending apparatus.
Equal to Oil Boom.
"The only parallel to the radio bus-
iness at the present time is the re-
cent rush to the Texas oil fields, or
the boom times of the motion picture
industry some years ago,” said Mr.
Gernsback.
"When the entire country is in the
throes of depression and with nearly
every other industry that one can
name running part time or else at an
entire standstill the radio business is
the young giant that will soon rival
euch great industries as the automo-
bile business—and this is not idle
prophesy. It makes no difference
what he makes—whether is it a knob,
a dial, a detector, or one of the ex-
pensive outfits—all find ready sale
and overtax the capacity of every
maker.
"The public seemingly does not care
what it buys or what the price is,
and, ns in any boom, it may be im-
agined that prices on radio goods are
by no means low. The manufactur-
ers and dealers are exacting top
prices.
"A situation of this kind is the
worst that can be imagined, for many
reasons. In the first place, it makes
for loose manufacturing methods, and
a layman who starts in the radio
field today is disappointed for the rea-
son that he cannot get results.
TEDYUSKl NG’S DECLARATION
Ob iauErEHOENCE
ECAUSE ii.s n..me lias been per-
petuated .n a lamoua political or-
ganization, iunmneund or Tammany,
Is the best-known Imilun of the Dela-
ware tribe, liut there was uiiother
chief of the Lenni-Leuape who ranks
us high, and u part of the honor due
him has been puid in a monument
erected in Fairmount park, I'hlladel-
pbiu, to Tedynskung (Kekeuskung—
“Tlie Healer”).
About 1720 the Iroquois conquered
the Deluwares, forced them to accept
the title of “women” and begun sell-
ing their lands on the Delaware and
.Susquehanna rivers to tlie colony of
l’ennsylvnnla. Finally the Lennl-l.e-
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng-
lish centered in the Ohio valley Jn
I7f>4 tiie Delawares felt that they
were about to he driven from their
Inst refuge. They rose In rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians and
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called at Easton, Pa.,
In July, 1750. Tedyuskung Issued a
Declaration of Independence. "The
Delawares are no longer slaves of the
Six Nations," lie said. “I, Tedyuskung,
have been appointed king over the
Five Nations. What I do here will lie
approved by all. This Is n good day.
I wish that the same spirit that pos-
sessed that good old man, William
Penn, the friend of the Indians, may
Inspire you white men today."
For 50 years the Delaware chief
had borne the commonplace name of
“Honest John,” but now he was hulled
us “King Tedyuskung," and was sent
to give the “big pence halloo" to his
tribe nnd invite them to a larger con-
ference to be held Inter. He started
on this important errand, arrived ab.
Fort Alien nnd then he went on a
drunken spree lasting for days.
The Iroquois derided his “declara-
tion” and sought to discredit him.
They fulled, and from that time the
| power of the Iroquois over the Deia-
i wares waned. He demonstrated his
ability in later councils. Although it
j Is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, lie
always appeared at council the next
! morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded in getting the Dela-
i wares’ wrongs adjusted nnd his Influ-
ence brought about a treaty of pence
j which prevented the French and Dela-
] ware alliance. He had saved the Ohio
valley to the English. His death was
scarcely heroic. In the spring of 1703
his house was set on fire during one
of his drunken debauches—probably
by some of his Iroquois enemies—and
the old chief perished In the flames.
PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA,

THE
RHINE TROOPS START HOME
64 German Brides Accompany Their
Husbands back to the United States
Coblenz.—While a band played
"How Dry I Am,” the favorite tune at
departures of American troops for the
homeland, a train carrying 1,110 mem-
bers of the American Rhine army left
here. Sixty-foui German brides are
accompanying their husbands to the
United States.
Bright spring weather brought out
thousands of the inhabitants to see
the Americans off. The men will
sail on the transport Cambria from
Antwerp.
The American forces on the Rhine
now are below the 4,000 mark.
Ocean Rates on Flour Drop.
Portland.—New rate of 35 cents a
hundred on flour from here to Atlan-
tic ports is announced, a drop of 20
cents a hundred pounds.

Fiume.—Pending the convocation of
a constitutent assembly today for the
election of a new movement in suc-
cession in the deposed Zandeila ad-

Deficiency Bill Is Passed
Washington, D. C.—Congress com
pleted the deficiency appropriation
bill carrying more than $130,000,000
including about $74,000,000 for the
veterans bureau. The bill now goes
to President Harding for approval, the
senate having receded from one ol
the minor items in dispute.
Prosperity Forseen By Firms
Chicago, 111.—Public utilities com-
panies will spend $75,000,000 in plants
and equipment in Illinois this year
because of their confidence
TT WAS not a new dream—this plan
•I of uniting all the tribes to drive
out the white man. Opechancanough,
the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the
Wampanoag, had dreamed It and paid
the penalty with their lives. Little
Turtle, the Miami, and Teeumseh, the
Shawnee, were destined to attempt it
and to fail. Of them all, Pontiac, the
Ottawa, came nearest success—und he
fulled when a woman talked!
Pontiac hated the English. But he
loved the French nnd when they lost
Nortli America at Quebec In 1759, he
wanted to keep on fighting. On May
7, 1703, one smashing blow by the al-
lied Indians was to regain this ter-
ritory for the French and their red
friends.
The blow fell and the Indians were
so successful in their surprise attacks
that eight of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was in personal
command of the Indians around De-
troit, the keystone to British rule in
the West. He planned to capture it by
treachery.
Near the fort lived an Ojibway girl
called Catherine. She loved Major
Glndwyn, the commandant, and be-
trayed Pontiac’s plot in time to save
the fort. Foiled in his attempt l) take
Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grand
conspiracy crumbling. It was dealt a
final blow when he received a mes-
sage from the French commandant at
Fort Chartres, 111., telling him that
England and France were now at
peace and bidding him end his war.
But Pontiac was not ready to give
up yet. He visited the Illinois tribes
and tried to rally them to bis cause.
They hesitated to join him. Glaring
angrily at their chiefs, the Ottawa ex-
claimed: “If you refuse, I will con-
sume your tribes as a fire consumes
the dry grass of your prairies!”
By now lie realized the hopelessness
of his dream. After one more attempt
to gain aid from the French, lie gave
up the struggle nnd returned to De-
troit to sign a treaty of pence. In
1709 be came ngnin to Illinois. At
Cahokin an English tinder named
Williamson, who hateii the great Ot-
tawa, offered a Knsknskla warrior n
barrel of whisky to kill Pontiac.
The Knsknskla was easily persuad-
ed. He remembered Pontine’s threat
agninst his people years before, t.ntc
one night ns Pontine, unsuspecting
danger, strode through the woods on
his way to St. Louis the Kaskaskia
glided up behind him. A tomahawk

technical mid polysyllable terms to

It to a knleiodscope and to a many-
faceted diamond, but disregarding tlie
spelling, one is very likely to think
the name originated with the tinkling
cymbal and that the great difference
lies in the introduction of one syllable
for euphony’s sake.
