The commandant of the United States navy yard, Boston, has given notice of the installation of Bellini Tosi direction finder at the United States naval radio station, North Tru- TO, alongside the Cape Cod lighthouse. The purpose of the finder is to ascer- tain by radio direct the true bearing of ship from the station, as well as the direction of the station from the ship. The apparatus is still in the ex- perimental stage, and the United States bureau of lighthouses, in its an- nouncement, states that too much con- fidence must not beplaced in the bear- ings given. Tests to date show bear ings to be correct to within two de- grees.

She was watching the actress with pre-

They're fxin' up a new company, I

finally pushed her plate aside. Anything

Nothing, thank you. Yes-they're re-
hearsing a new company. Rotten bust
ness, too. Twenty weeks of one night
stands in Georgia, Alabama, Texas, the
purgatory of the country, to speak polite.
Everybody's butted out who can get next

to advertise for voices"
Cora sighed. "That's what l wanted to
know" she said. II reckon anything that
can sing at all's got all the chance that's

The actress looked at her obviously.
"Thinkin' of goin' on2"

the meagre hours allotted for that purpose
She arose at six, to as haggard brooding
as the strenuous breakfast hours permitted
In her burdened state of mind the unex-
pected advent of Miss Montawdry shortly
before the rush hour of noon took the aspect
of the irritating circumstance which is the
providential blessing. Without leave or
warning the actress invaded the kitchen,

accurately, like a breeze invading hot

"When 1 heard you and the Professor

contempt.
"Look here, Girls" the Director began
very earnestly. you've got no call to
think less of me for little thing like that.
