TOO HOT FOR RADIO
Co. Finds People Won't
Stay in to Listen.
But When Winter Comes
Watch EN- Then.

The AIstead Radio and Electrical
company is not installing many radios
right now as it is too hot for people to
thoroly enjoy them. And summer is
not the season to listen in" This is
due to the fact that the atmosphere at
this time OF year is full of electricity
which disturbs the working of the
radio to a certain extent You can
hear four times the distance in winter
that you can in summer As the
weather gets cooler the distance you
can hear will increase. For the first
time this summer concerts from De-
troit are being picked up here. but
within e month or SO Topeka will be
able to get messages from the coast
Mr.. AIstead says that no one would
want to stay in q hot room these
evenings il they knew they could hear
all the prinIa donnas in the country
The farmers are too busy now, but
when the rush and hurry of the busy
season is over they will begin think
ing and planning their winters en-
tertainment. Mr.. A1stead says that
radio means rupre to the farmers than
TO any other cAss Of people
Mr. Alstead had radio supplies IN
his shop at 203 West Sixth avenue the
first of last March, which were the
first to be on sale in Topeka. Ten
years ago Mr.. Alstead began expert
menting with wireless That was
when people were saying "it just can't
be done-people can't hear without
wires"
And now he's hearing the same
thing about radio. They say,
Well, we have our Photographs
and Victrolas and we believe we'll
just wait awhile till we see how this
radio business turns out"
But even now the outfits are not ex-
pensive. The expense comes in the
amplificatIon and not in the range
One can get q good set for SIS without
the ampIffier. But s2T5 viii purchase
a fine set including amplifier and
installation.
There are very few boys who are not
radio fans High school boys are
dippy" over all forms of wireless and
some little chaps that can't look over
the counter come in to get parts 50
they can make their own sets.
When q man buys a set, he Is gen
orally taking little Willie to the cir
etIs'-he Is buying the set for the
kids But most kids viii tell you they
seldom get to use the set unless there's
an ampIifIer. for all the time Dad
keeps the receiver glued to his ears
And what's more the older they are
the harder they fall Grandpa is even
worsa than Dad
When it becomes cooler and people
get over their skepticisn. tha Alstead

TREFRY ISN'T BOSS
'Mr. Customer" Dictates Pol
icies of Trefry Motor Company.
Ford Business Home Is Model
of Rich Simplicity.

Mr. Customer-not myseH-is the
boss of my forty employees" says W.
H Trefry Of the Trefry Motor com
pany. You treat him right and he'll
bring ten more. but if you don't. he'll
take ten away"
The home of the Trefry Motor COM
pany is a very attractive three-story
building across from Pelletier's. The
salesroom is a model of rich simplic-
ity, finished in pearl grey and old
rose.
In the rear of the salesroom are the
offices, over which Is a messanine
floor where is found a very comfort
ably equipped ladies' rest room fur
nished in wicker and tapestry.
The service managers office on the
main floor IS unusually well located
for the customers eonvenience-being
situated at the edge of the entrance
driveway where a customer may drive
in and receive immediate attention
At the rear of the first floor is To-
-eated a complete battery, generator
and starter department to look after
all of The electrical needs of the shops
patrons The stock room is also To-
Gated here with enough separate parts
to assemble several complete cars
The second floor puts one in mind
of a regular beehive. The west half
of the floor is separated into imagin-
airy sta1ls-and every stall is filled with
a Ford beng repaired. No expense
workmen with every conceivable tool
necessary to do their work well. Such
machines as understands, burning-in
machines, drill presses. grinding and
buffing machines, arbor presses,
scraping presses and re-babbitting jigs
are in use here. The tool room is
Immaculate and systematic. Every
tool is checked out as 1t is needed
In the east end of the third floor
the new Fords are assembled. Only
one man is employed to do this work,
thereby lessening the probability of
mistakes. Mr.. Trefry stated that cars
assembled in his plant go out on the
road, stay tight and give the customer
thoro satisfactio for the reason that
he has another man employedEho
does nothing but check and O. K all
new cars before they are delivered.
which eliminates practically all the
small, aggravating troubles that usu
ally come te the purchaser OF a new
car.
A department has been set aside on
this floor for Lincoln service and is in
charge Of man reputed to be the best
Lincoln mechanic in the Kansas City
territory.
The used car department is also on
the third floor. Two men are EN-
ployed to go over all secondhand cars
and put them in order before they are
resoId.
Mr.. Trefry has been in the Ford
business in Topeka for the past six
years and in that time has put out ap-
proximately 2,500 cars.

TO OFFER AUTO IN PLAN
TO BUILD MEMORIAL ARCH

This spring the Mothers Club
will build an arch at the entrance
to-, Memo rial Park where trees.
planted in honor and memory
of the men of Whatcom county
who lost their lives in the world
war, are growing. This park is
planned to stand forever as a
tribute to and in memory of the
boys who paid the supreme sac
rifice and it is the particular
charge the Mothers Club has
undertaken to keep it for the
boys. Much work already has
been done on the park by the
women and much remains to be
done before it can truly be a
Memorial Park.
Originally it was planned to
erect a monument in the park,
but the cost is prohibitive and
SO the Mothers Club has decided
on big concrete arch which
will, for the time, take the place
of monument.
In order to raise the funds for
this arch the club is starting
campaign to sell buttons this
week and it will be pushed Wig
orously to a finish. 1t is planned
to hold some fitting ceremonies
in connection with this campaign
at some time during the Tulip
Festival week when an automo-
bile will be awarded.
The button campaign was sell
ected for the reason that is is
not a drive" and because it will
be easy for everybody to have a
part in the work. Each button
will sell for one dollar and its
wearer joins the ranks of those
who are ready and willing to
render aid in the care and i'm
provement of Memorial Park.
The members of the Mothers
Club personally will conduct the
sale OF the buttons and ask all
who will aid directly in disposing
OF enough buttons to cover the
cost OF the Memorial Arch.

BREAST MILK CAN BE MOD
IFIED TO SUIT
THE BABY

Mothers milk, if scanty and
inadequate, even on plenty OF
food and drink( should be con-
served and supplemented by bot
tie feeding. Some breast milk is
much better than none, and
should be jealousy guarded dur
ing the first six months of an in
fants life. The danger period
comes in the early months. Ar
tificiai;y fed infants die during
the first year of life in a far
greater proportion than those
that are breast fed for at least
the first six months.
If breast milk does not agree
with the baby, do not wean him
until you have tried:
/. Improving the quantity of the
milk by attention to the moth
er's diet, intake of liquids,
and details of her daily life.
2. Feeding the baby at regular
four-hour intervals.
3. Shortening the length of sim
gle feelings.
4. Giving one-half ounce of boil
ed water before each nursing
5. If breast milk is scanty, give
some diluted cows milk after
one or more feelings.
IF BREAST MILK IS SUP
PLEMENTED BY BOTTLE
MILK
1t is better to give both at one
feeding rather than alternate the
two. The breast is apt to dry up
If the child does not nurse at
least every four hours.
WHEN TO
WEAN THE BABY
Weaving should be gradual
and should be completed by the
end of the first year. Therefore
when the breast milk begins to
fail, or by the ninth month in
any case, begin part bottle feed
ing.
Orange juice diluted with wa
ter may be given to a nursing
baby after the third month, and
should be included in the diet
by the end of the first year. By
the tenth month a small amount
of well-cooked cereal, such as
farina, may be given once day
before feeding.

A SEATTLE IDEA

An initiative measure to re-district the state
so that representation in the legislature would
be on the basis of population, will be passed on
by the voters this fall The scheme would please
the big cities, which would dominate the law
making body. Some sparsey-settled counties
wouldn't even have spokesman at Olympia.
You guessed it: Seattle man figured out
the scheme. Will he put it over? Not as long as
all little fellows able to crawl to the polls
next November.
