mind what to do. A workman, en-

the door and Robert dashed pelI-
NELL down the street. George fol-

across the street to the Abraham
home and screamed to Mrs. Abra-
ham that Dickie was dead Mean
while, the workman, discovering
the body, lifted it as the mother
entered. He placed 1t in her arms,
stopped passing auto. and the
child and mother were rushed to
the General Hospital. where
hasty examination showed death
had been well nigh instantaneous,
the bullet entering near the heart.
Afraid to Return Home.
Hours later Robert was discov-

about afraid to return home. Yet,
since then, in the Juvenile Deten-

HIGH COSTS HAMPER
GERMAN RADIO FANS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-What with
the high cost of apparatus and rigid
governmental restrictions. the lot of
the German radio amateur is indeed
hard, according to reports from Vice
Consul Nathaniel B. Davis, at Berlin,
on file at the department of COM
merce.
Amateur operators are few and far
between. while radio telephony is al
most an unknown science, except to
engineers research workers and pro-
fessional operators.
The German post office department,
which is in charge of all radio COM
munication within the republic, per-
mits private companies and individ
uals to erect their own plants only on
payment of a license fee. Ordinarily
the department itself installs the
plants: it also rents receiving sets for
$500 marks per month.
There is only one licensed broad
casting station in Berlin at present.
which sends out market and exchange
quotations. Service charges range
from 1000 to 1900 marks a month. 10
which must be added the cost of a
government license and the installa-
tion of a receiving set.
