Bedtime Stories
Whitefoot Spends Dreadful Njeht
by Thornton W. Burgess
Psy those scho suffer fright
In the da1'i; o',d stilly night.
-Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.

One night Of his life Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse win never FORGET
as long as he lives. Even now il
makes him shiver just to thinl, Of
1t; Yes, sir, he shivers even now.
whenever he thinks OF that night.
The Black Shadows had come early
that evening, SO it was quite dusk
when Wh;tefoot crcpt out Of his
snug little bed and climbed uo to
the round hole which was the door
way OF his home in tall, dead stun. p
in the Green Forest. He had Just
poked his nose ont Of that little
round doorway when there was the
most terrible sound. 1t seemed to
SO loud and terrible was it. 1t
frightened him so badly that he
simply let so and tumblcd backward
down inside his house. OF course It
didn't hurt him any, for he landed
on his soft bed.
-" hooo- no o-hoo. whooo-hoo.' came
that terrible sound again. and White
foot shook until his little teeth ratified.
AT least, thai is the way it seemed
to him. 1t was the voice Of Hooty
the Owl, and Whitefoot knew that
hooty was sitting on the top of that
Very. stump. He was, SO TO speak,
on the roof OF Whitefoot's house.
Now, in all the Green Forest there
is no sound that strikes terror 20 the
hearts Of the little people of feathers
and fur equal to the hunting call Of
Hooty the Owl. Hooty knows this,
No one knows it better than he does.
That is why he uses it. He knows
that many Of the little people are
asleep safely hidden away. He
knows that is would be quite useless
for him to simply look for them. He
would starve before ne could find 4
dinner in that way. But he knows
that any one awakened from slcep
in great fright is sure to move. and
il they do this are almost equally
sure to make some little sound His
cars are SO wonderful that they can
catch the faintcst sound and tell
exactly where it comes from. So
he uses that terrible hunting cry to
frighten the little people and make
them move.
Now. Whitesoot knew that he was
safe. Hooty couldn't possibly get at
him, even should he find out that he
was in there. There was nothing to
fear. But just the same Whitcfoot
snivered and shook and almost
Jumped ont OF his skin every time
that Hooty noo.ed. Ne just couldn't

began a series Of cvolutions across tho
roof garden foor, clevcrIy cvsding the
open-mouthed spectators. 1t was the
radio-controllcd mail car invented by
Edwin Calvin, which is one OF the
feature exhibits OF the Second District
Executive Radio Council. 1t will run
about the floor throughout the show
until closing time on Saturday night
next
Cooley Big Attraction
Another feature OF the show is the
complete apparatus used by Paul f.
Cooley in Ardrossan, Scotland, late last
year, when he received the first trans
Atlantic messages sent from this coun-
try by radio amateurs with low-pOwered
transmitting apparatus. This set Of ap-
paratus is undoubtedly tho most sensi-
tive in the world and was developed
by the amateurs themselves. During
the show it will be operated BY Cooley
himself, and it viii receive tio music
from the broadcasting stations upon
loop aerial inside the showroom.
Across the way from Cooley is the
transmitting station 1-BCG, which was
the first to be heard in the transsAt-
lantic tests. 1t has been brought bod
lily from Greenwich, Conn, where it
vas erected for exhibition in the show
J. +. Grinan, who sent tie message,
will be there with the apparatus, as
will also e. V. Amy, George E. Burg
hard, E. H. Armstrong and Minton
Cronkhite, all of whom joined in con-
structing and operating it.
In the booths the latest apparatus is
on view. The manufacturers seem to
have concentrated upon the produc-
ton Of combined photograph and
radiophone outfit inclosed in magnifi-
cent cabinets All these new types
have been given euphonious names.
There is the Radionelle, the Aeriola
Grand and the Lyradion.
Army Has Exhibit
IN two or three Of them radio fre-
Guency anplit1cation has been applied
for the first time in the reception Of
hroadcasted music, and q great meas
'ire OF success seems to have been at
tanned.
One OF the interesting exhibits is
shat Of the Federal government and
the United States Army Signal Corps.
In the accessories which accompany
radio equipment there are many novel
features, including a new storage bat
OR high voltage battery.
One Of the features was the
song, "Kiss Ne by Wireless" which
vas broadcastcd specially for the show.
1t will be sung every day.
In addition to j. 0. Smith, the chair
man, the committee in charge of the
show is composed Of r. H. McMann.

EGdto EG4tor The IrtoHNt
The annual Radio Show opened last
night in the Hotel Pennsylvania. Re
spending to the call of popular enthu-
siasm, il has brought forth this year the
realization of those dreams which have
Gifted across the minds OF the radio
engineers ever since wireless first be-
came an accomplished fact. In the
remarkable apparatus that has been
placed on display there is shown a
vision of the future, when every Amer;-
can home, rich and poor alike, will be
equipped with the modern wonder Of
The world.
The show is one vast surprise. 1t
GEMS rs II every manufacturer had for
TX months been concentrating his
Efforts upon the production Q? the
super-radiophoue and carefully screen
ecrecy Now the veil is torn asundcr
IN the show and the results far exceed
the expectations.
The Radio Show is the product Of the
anlatcurs, but it is fast slipping out of
tbeir hands into those OF the general
public. The vast space of the roof
'.arden in the hotel and the adjoining
Butterfly Room is crowded with deco
rated booths, each filled with the latest
apparatus for radio communication and
entertainment.
Interests General Public
For the first time the show opened its
doors to an audience not composed en-
tirely of "radio bugs" When j. O..
Smith, chairman OF the convention COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements,
gave the signal the big crowd which
hsd been waiting outside surged
through, almost overwhelming the
satemen.
During the last half hour larger
lumber OF persons were admitted TO the
how than attended last years exhibit
during its first three days. Congestion
became so great that officials Of the
Fire Department closed entrances to
The roof garden. fearing possible panic.

the greatest voice concentration ever
heard.

Mr.. John Wanamakcr,
New York City.
Dear Sir
ON the summer of 1908 or
1909 I purchased at your New
York store q five dollar two
pieco wool bathing suit. Up
to last year it showed no
wear, though 7 had given it u
fair amount Of use in the
United States and various
parts Of Brazil.
"Rcccntly, however, it is
beginning to go to lieccs and"I,
therefore, much to my regret,
feel compelled to make q com
plant. If a bathing suit will
last ~ or 13 years it seems TO
me that I have right to ex-
pect that can hand it down
to my children and grand
children-a thing obviously
impossible now, since doubt
if the suit will last moro than
one or two years longer.
"Will you please look into
the matter?

sheriff of st. Charles county. An auto
mobile abandoned by Meininger at that
place is being held by him, Deputy
Grothe announced. GrOthe said he
was told that Meininger boarded a
train at st. Charles for Kansas City.
Relatives of Meininger said they knew
nothing of his whereabouts. Until the
time of his disappearance relatives
said Meininger was staying at hotel,
where it would be convenient to his
work. Meininger's peculatiOns from
the banks funds probably covered a

Frank Schwab Promises to Enforce
Laws Without Mop or Vice

Buffalo, n. Y, Jan. 9.-Frank X.
Schwab, former brewer, eleced mayor
Of Buffalo on a beer and wine platform,
Is carrying out prediction pledges
with a speed that is causing "dry"
advocates to wonder how he will pro-
coed with respect to the main ques-
ton of prohibition. Mayor Schwab
has announced that all 'dry" laws will
be enforced and has asked the cor
poration counsel to draft an ordinance
that will enable him to reduce the
number of licensed soft drink places
from 5000 to 1000.
In the first week of his administra-
ton Mayor Schwab retired the prOhi-
bition enforcement and vice squads of
the police department, installed a pO-
lice chief of his own choice, whose
first move was a general shake-up of
subordinateS; strapped police reserves,
an unpaid civilian organization formed
during the war, and called together
an advisory committee of one per-
son from each of the city wards.
The advisory board, Mayor Schwab
promised in his campaign speeches,
would keep the city government in
touch with the plain citizen and tax
payer, something which, he declared,
was impossible under the commission
form of government.
The advisory board consists of eight
Democrats and IA Republicans. d.
vided thus: Former saloon keepers
and owners Of sOft-drink places, five; ;
doctors, four; manufacturers, three
insurance and real estate, two; con-
tractors and financiers, two; railroad
executives, one; union business agent,

Much of the soil in the $780,

of the soils and crops department

farmers reduce the acreage of
cultivated crops about one-third
and increase the the acreage of

IQrofts.
OF the 100000 acres being
