FUNERAL OF
MRS. M. M. TATRO
AT GREEN MT. HALL
Summer Resident Here
Laid to Rest In Mt.
Pleasant

Impressive funeral services for
Mrs. Tatro, wife of M. M. Tatro,
of Chicago, general agent for the
Middle West of the Singer Sewing
Machine Co., and proprietor of the
Stanley Furniture and Undertak-
ing Co., were held at Green Noun
tain Hall, the Tatro summer home
in Concord, at one o'clock on Sat
urday afternoon. Rev. E. E.
Grant of East st. Johnsbury,
warm friend of Mrs. Tatro, con-
Quoted the service and burial was
in Mt. Pleasant cemetery, st.
Johnsbury. Mrs. Tatro's sons-in-
law, DR.. H. H. Miltimore and
Chauncey A. Miltimore with their
three brothers, Milton A. Milti-
more of Cowansville, P. O., J. E.
Miltimore of Portland, Me-, l. c.
Miltimore of Davenport, Iowa,
and their nephew, l.. M. Miltimore
of Glen Sutton, P. G., were the
bearers. The caskct was covered
with many lovely floral tributes
from relatives and friends and
business associates of Mr.. TatrO.
Mrs. Tatro died March 80 at her
Chicago home. She had been i'll
for over year with paralysis of
the nerves, but the end come most
Unexpectedly. She longed to get
back to Vermont to her home
here, her children and grandchil-
dren and Mr.. Tatro had made ar
rangements to bring her the week
of her death. Reservations had
been made and her body was
brought home on the same train
on which they had planned to
bring her home to her loved ones.
For more thar thirty years Mr..
and Mrs. Tatro have been asso-
ciated with st. Johnsbury and
Concord. They came here to visit
relatives in 1890 and were SO
attracted to this section that they
bought a home in Concord. Some
years later they built Green Noun
tain hall, near Concord, one of
the finest homes in this section
and their summers for many years
have been spent with their chill
dren, Mr.. and Mrs. c A. Milti-
more there and with DR.. and Mrs.
Miltimore in ST. Johnsbury. A
few years ago Mr.. Tatro bought
the Stanley Furniture and Under

STRIKERS PLANNING
To 1--WE IN TENT G

PAWTpCKET, R. l., April A
Textile strikers who may be evict-
ca rrom their homes may live in
tents without paying rent. Or
ganizer Thomas announced today
that strike leaders were arranging
to bring tents from New York to
be pitched on a large vacant lol
and a plumbers union is to put
the camp in a sanitary condition.
During a meeting of textile strik
ers today Organizer Thomas was
informed that a special officer was
in the audience. He was request
ed to leave and as he reached the
door strikers hit him in the face.
He drew his revolver and held
others at bay and then left the
place. Strike sympathizers threw
stones at workers on their way to
the mills.

mines had been cut and a detail
of the state police had been called
out to disperse a crowd endeavor-
ing to induce non-union miners to
leave their work.
First indications that mine prop
erty had been attached was found
at the Mathers mine in Washing
ton county across the Monona-
hela from the Fayette field. High
tension wires of the Western
Pennsylvania and Power Co., pro-
viding the plant with power were
cut and the miners who reported
for work we're compelled to re-
turn home.
WASHINGTON, April Min
ers demands for a six hour day
and a 5-day week, issues involved
in the national coal strike, were
described by John l.. Lewis, pres
ident of the United Mine workers,
in continuing his testimony today
before House committee, as
largely a move to force regularity
of employment.
"Men employed by the day
would receive the same wages
they are now getting and put in
less time, but the miners who dig
coal would be paid as they are
now for the number of tons they
produce" declared Mr.. Lewis.
Representative Black, democrat,
of Texas, calculated that if the B.
day week and 6-hour demand, was
granted, the public would pay
1924, 100000 additional for the
same amount of coal they are now
getting each year.
"Who will that come out of,
Mr.. Black demanded after figuring
his total.
Nobody, Mr.. Lewis retorted,
because your figures are absurd.
| can't follow your mental gyra-
tions on this subject in the field
of mathematics"
The miners strike in all union
districts both anthracite and btu
minous, is 100 per cent effective,
Mr.. Lewis declared today after
going over reports to him fir ~
union leaders.

RIVAL ORGANIZATION
SEEK STRIKE CONTROL

LAWRENCE, Mass, April 4
This city was the scene last night
not of Il fight between the work
ers in the cotton and worsted
mills, but another struggle be
tween the conservative and radi-
cal labor unions for tho strike
control. One big union with Ben
Legerc as its leader obtained at
the mass meeting of strikers Mon
day an acceptance of this union
as leadership and reputation of
the United Textile Workers of
America. The latter organization
was holding its own and eX-
tended its forces without regard
totthe opposition. The American
Federation of Textile Operatives
is expected to gain control of the
strike. Representatives of both
organizations were at the picket
line again at the opening hour.
They found the situation mucA
the ~orNa as in other days.
Whether the peacefulness will
continue was a question in the
minds of the city officials as the
result of yesterdays meeting. At
that time Legere called upon his
followers to prosecute picketing
more vigorously, to check up up
on all the workers as they enter
ed and left the mills and to fol-
low them to their homes at night.
Legere said he had come from
New York state to assume the
leadership Of the Lawrence strike
when he heard of the wage cut.
To the local membership of this
union has now been added the
remnants of the l. w. w. organi-
zation that prosecuted the big
strike in this city in 1912.

key hit by the finger. Every time
that particular ivory key is struck

RADIO BATTERIES ARE
OF PRIME IMPORTANCE
Noises Divided Into Two Glasses.
One Kind Is Avoid

Anv one who has listened in on a
radio set during the approach or
thunder storm has little new to dis
cover in the way of frying. kissing,
buhbliNg and sputtering noises. IL Is
only natural for the listener to Won
der where they all come from
In general there are just two KINDS
of radio notes.-the ones that can't pc
avoided and ones that can. In the
arst class there are all of the natE
,ral ones that result from electrical
disturbances in the ether. throus n
which all radio waves travel. 1t must
be rememberff that these waves lol-
low the same laws and behave In eN-
actIy the same manner as the waves
created ''to order" by man-made ma
chinery. .,o
The second class of noises is the
result of faulty wiring, or In many
cases. imperfect or Improperly con-
structed batteries. Wires must De
light. 1t is for this reason that so
rnany who build radio sets take spe-
cial care to solder all joints, even
though binding posts provide SEEM
inGly tight grip on the wires.
To great many people battery Is
inst a battery. and need only be con-
sjdered from a standpoint of voltage
and amrere5 5hour capacity. 1t, true
that these things are of prime I'M
nortance, but there are other features
of construction deserving of far
more attention than is commonly
given them.
An important feature of the B. or
+wentv-four-volt battery. for example.
is that 1t must be able to hold IT'S
charge for long periods, not only be-
cause of economy but because cleo
trical leakage from cell to cell OF
from positive to negative posts OF any

RADIO EXPLAINED
~ By E. II. LEWIS
INSTRUCTOR NEW YORK. YM.C.A. RADIO SCHOOL

providing the resistance is not too
great. In practice the resistance is
almost never so great as to prevent
oscillations, but it may frequently
be so large as to materially cut down
the strength of the oscillations. En-
ergy is consumed in forcing the cur
rent to flow through the resistance.
and this energy is a total loss, in
so far as the production of signal
is concerned. This loss has the ef-
feet of damping out the energy or
the oscillations. and the receiving
antenna may respond to radio waves
whose frequency Cor wave length
Is greater or less than those for
which the circuit is adjusted. The
circuit is then said to tune broadly.
1t is desirable that the response be
only to those radio waves to which
the circuit is tuned-that is. that the
circuit tune sharply. If this is to
be accomplished the resistance or
the circuit must be kept quite low.
In cases where the receiving an
tenna circuit has much resistance
there may be oscillations present due
to radio waves to which the CIRCUIT
is tuned and other oscillations OF
different frequencies to which the
circuit is not tuned, but to which
it responds. There might then be
serious interference with the signals
from the station it is desired to re
ceive from. The resistance OF the
circuit may, fortunately. las kept
very low if the proper precautions
are taken. and it is possible to OBJ
tain a very high degree of selectiVity.
