MUSIC TO CITY;
PLEA OF CLUBS
Mrs Selberling Urges Organiza'
ton Of Eight States-Need

with eight states still improper
ly organized, there Is plenty for the
next administration to do in two
years." said Mrs. F. A. Soldering.
president of the National Fedora
ton Of Musical clubs this morning
in her address to the convention.
We cannot do anything nationally
unless the states, units and towns
are completely organized"
Mrs. Seiberling stressed the ne
cessity of the junior club idea, and
asked that no delay be made for
legislation. but to commence at
once. When the states are organ
ized," she added, don't be selfish
and keep it all to yourself. Share
your good things.
I'VE will never be great national
ly until we get away from this idea
of crowding all the music into the
cities. We must have music in
every community and not alone in
the centers. We can't really have a
representative music until this is
done. Music must be taken to ev-
cry one. That is the reason for
the extension fund, which will al
low for the education Of the people
to appreciation and demanding Of
good music. Work for uniform
laws, which will put music in the
schools and give credit for the
work"
In outlining a plan the president
urged the establishing of a minia-
ture national board in every state,
and to have the states divided into
districts. Wisconsin and Missouri
are the most perfectly organized
states. They are realizing how ne
cessary it is to have wise direction
Of music appreciation rather than
leave it to chance, she explained.
Enroll All in Work.
zone of the first things to be
done is to go out and get the women
to work, and to encourage them to
come and work with you. We have
q great obligation in the junior
clubs and we must work." she said.

WIRELESS
MESSAGES SENT
Hugh Robinson, of Report,
Who Holds Record, Sends
Many More Messages.

BY Special Correspondent.
KEYPORT, Jan. 2S:-Hugh Rob-
inson. superintendent of the Aero
marine Company. who with his son,
Harold, owns and operates a radio
phone in a station specially built on
his property on Walnut street. who
holds the worlds record for long
distance messages has very success
fully sent messages the past few
weeks to all parts of the United
States and Canada, letters of verb
fication being in possession of Mr..
Robinson at this time.
During the past few weeks Mr..
Robinson has been heard at Fargo.
N. D., a distance of 1850 miles:
Bangor, Me-, $40; Niagara, N. Y,
$50; Old Fordge. N. x. 1856; Kala-
mazoo, Mich, SIS; Williamstown,
Mass, $50; Syracuse. N. Y. 275;
o.; st. Louis, 1852; Rockville, Ind.
S62; Canton, ILL.,, 975; Monessa, Pa.
450; Olean, N. Y, $40; Shamokin,
Pa, 100; South Bridge, 100; Utica,
N. Y, 800; jamestown, N. Y, 700;
Elmira, ESQ; York, Nebraska, 400;
Chelmsford, Mass, 1885. Burlington,
VT, 500; Mokane. Missouri. 1900;
Nepane, Ont, 500: Dover. o.. $50;
Buffalo, 400; Bolivia, $50; Ashland.
o., 400; Bristol, Conn.,. ITO.
These distances are all worlds
records, no distances ever having
been reached by half with radio
phones eight and ten times greater
In power.
Mr.. Robinson was heard at Peter
cutter, Aberdeensbire, Scotland, a
distance of over $500 miles and his
message was sent to him by a letter
from the above place. To make
sure that there was nc mistake
about the message special tests were
made on November IS and 10 and
these messages were again verified
by letter from Scotland.
Mr.. Robinson has gained world
wide fame through his successful
tests on the radiophone which is a
comparatively small set of 100 watt
radiator of one ampere. Never be-
fore has SO small a set been able to.
send distances covered by Mr.. Rob-
inson and his o n and he attributes
his success to the tact that all air
waves are in direct contact with his
phone which is perfectly located.
When the Western Electric Com
pany sent the first radiophone mes
sage in 1915 it was heard across the
water but the phone was much more
powerful than that owned and used
by Mr.. Robinson, who now receives
on an average of fifteen Dr. twenty
letters a day from all over the Unit
ed States and CANADA verifying his
messages.
Owing to the success of his phone
Mr.. Robinson has been asked to
donate it to the Smithsonian Inst
tute at Washington when he has
finished using it. This Mr.. Robinson
states that he is willing to do but
he does not contemplate doing SO
| for years to come as he has been SO
successful that he has now a num-
Der of new plans to try out at the
proper time.
