RADIO STATION PLANS
To GET AMPuF|ERS

The question has been asked so many
times lately, "When can we listen
in'?" II is becoming almost distract
ing. The outcome has been that
plans have been made by which the
entire town, if need be, may "listen in"
on the wireless telephone messages all
at the same time if they so desire. At
meeting of the Normal Assembly on
Thursday, demonstration was given
which represented what was heard or
Wednesday night on the radio receiv-
ing telephone at the College station.
Wednesday night the operators
heard the voice of Denver's operator
/ say "hello" TO the Chicago operator,
and ask Chicago how Denver station
came in. Chicago answered in tones
that were as clear as ever heard on
the wire telephone, I'VE got you fine
tonight, we have an added amplifier."
The attempt was made to reproduce
this before the Normal assembly in
such way as to illustrate what they
might experience If We had a two
stage amplifier and a loud-speaking
telephone with horn attachment. When
vote was taken as to how many of
the students would buy tickets for SO
cents, which would entitle them TO
''listen in" on the phonograph- appear
ing receiving Radio telephone in the
auditorium Of the College for six
nights, without an exception every
person in the room arose, indicating
that they would buy tickets. This

vote was taken in the High School and
Grade assembly, and the same result
was obtained. Likely many of the
townspeople desire the same privilege.
Tickets will be printed and ready for
sale Saturday morning. These tic
kets will be available to any one in
town who wish to pay so cents to aid
this station in getting its amplifier and
