Irrna Nations Pupils
Give Fine Evening

With finish that even excelled the
expectations of the talented Miss Irma
Nation, "Molly's New Year Party"
was enacted by her pupils on last Fri
day night, December s, before a large,
appreciative audience, who defied the
inclement weather to enjoy the pro,
duction.
Each child played his or her part to
perfection, and the costumes far sur
passed any ever seen on the stage in
Carney Hall.
Not until the seats were cleared
away for dancing to the melodious
tunes of a New York orchestra were
the decorations shown off to advan-
tage, and again it must be said they
were the finest ever seen, all of which
reflects deserved credit on Miss Nal,
ton.
In response to request Miss Nal
ton gave a short address thanking the
audience for it's support and announc-
ed that Mrs A. X. Virgil would lecture
on and demonstrate the Virgil Method
of Piano Playing early in January. All
those interested in receiving an invi-
tation to attend were asked to send
their name and address to 55 Knox
avenue, Grantwood.
The young folks participating in the
play were Jane Josephson, Bella
Brandt Lauretta Kaelin, George Nu-
remburg, Caroline Munday, Margui-
rette Gross, Eleanor Mackey, Dorothy
Comstock, Louise Stewart, Ellen Akin,
Vera Tunnicliff, Paula Everett, Helen

Tale of Three Robs;
Three Men Caught

Here is painted stale story of
three local holdups and later arrests:
Three arrests have been made as a
result of the daring holdup in Cliff
side on last Sunday afternoon when
the participants in crap game were
relieved of about $4,000 at the point
of a revolver.
The guilty parties were captured on
Tenth avenue near Twenty-fourth
street, in New York City, on Wednes-
day by Captain Borrell and Patrol
man McEvoy of the Cliffside police,
and the accused are now in Tombs
prison awaiting eXtradition papers.
The names of the culprits are Mike
Genetasio, William Cassidy and Cor
nelius Lenard, all of New York. Bor-
rell and McEvoy deserve much credit
for the quick arrest, having only a
brief description of the men as told
to them by several of the victims. It
is not known whether these men were
guilty of the other holdups in this
section which occurred about the
same time.
The group of men who suffered loss
through the holdup were busily en-
gagged in game of '>galloping domi-
noes in garage on John street
when four men walked in, one
masked, all fiourishing revolvers and
shouting the proverbial gangsters'
command, Hands up!" The gam
blers' obedience to the command gave
the robbers an opportunity to carry
away $4,000 as result of their ef-
fort.
Another hOldup occurred Monday
morning about o'clock ON Anderson
avenue in Fairview, when two high
waymen armed with revolvers en-
tered the National Grocery Store, and
after tying up. the two clerks, made
their exit with Saturdays receipts,
amounting to $500.
The clerks were released from their
chains by a driver of one of the Ma
tional Grocery Company's trucks
which arrived an hour after the hold
up. The police were immediately
notified, but no trace of the bandits
has been found, unless it be that the
three men held in connection with
Sundays holdup can give some in
formation regarding the Fairview in.
cident
The National Grocery holdup is a
case of history repeating itself, for
less than three months ago the same
store was robbed in an identical
manner.
The third holdup' occurred on Sun
day night at 8 o'clock. When Mrs.
Patsey Apiece, who conducts small
store at 246 Cliff street, Cliffside, was
about to close her place, three men
came in. Two remained at the door
and the third walked over to the
counter with a revolver in his hand.
Telling Mrs. Apiece not to make
any noise under penalty of being
killed, he demanded she turn over all
her money. Frightened out of her
wits at the intrusion, the woman
walked into the living room behind
the store, followed by the man. She
brought forth $50 in bills and change
and handed it over to the bandit
After warning her to keep quiet for
five minutes, the three left the place
and disappeared.
Mr.. Apiece was not at home when
the robbery took place. He came in
about II o'clock, and upon learning
what had occurred, notified County
Detective Nathan H. Allyn and the
Cliffside police.
A letter has been received by the
authorities stating that the writer has
some information regarding the fore
going crimes, but the letter was un-
signed.

RECOMMEND MORE
SHORT-WAVEBANDS
FOR BROADCASTINC
Government Confer ees
Complete Final
Report.
ASK NOMINAL FEES
Bill Will Be introduced to
Give Authority to Sec.
retary Hoover.
ASK NOMINAL FEES

More short wave bands for
broadcasting. nominal fees for IL
censes, and provision for permits
before erection of transmitting
stations are among the changes in
corporated in its final report by
the governmental conference on
radio telephony.
All that is needed now to place
the recommendations Of the con-
ference into effect is Congressional
action to give the necessary au-
thority to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover. A bill is about to be in
troduced in Congress to revise the
radio communication laws.
More liberal t provisions for
broadcasting on short wave
lengths from 4S5 to 495 meters.
This is essentially the same wave
used for government weather, crop
and market reports now.
Inland Fares Best.
Those who live away from the
seacoast will have a larger variety
OF radio waves to utilize under
the recommendations. The band
from 2S5 to 4S5 meters Is assigned
to private and toll broadcasting.
but the zones from 2S5 to 315 and
from 425 to AIS meters will not be
used in regions near the coast be-
cause of the chance of Interference
with marine radio communication.
For similar reasons the experts
H.
lie broadcasting on $50 to 700
the seacoast. and similar broadcast
ing on 700 TO $50 meters must not
be done nearer TO the coast than
200 miles.
BY the establishment of new
band of wave lengths from 100 to
Is meters for the exclusive use of
private and toll broadcasting, the
experts, foresee the establishment
of short range broadcasting. 1t Is
expected that this will be a de-
velopment of the future and that
due to the fact that few radio re-
ceiving sets as they are now made
can receive radio waves shorter in
length than 200 meters. It will be
possible to establish radio enter
tainment service on the basis of
renting receiving sets adjusted to
a particular wave length.
New Problem for Makers.
The use for shorter wave lengths
will introduce new problems into
radio apparatus manufacturing and
will also allow the establishment
of a large number of low-power.
short wave length transmitting
stations in a small area. Each city
will be able to have its own trans
mitting station of this character.
Reasonable fees that will help
to pay the increased cost of radio
regulation are proposed to Con-
gress. and the conferees also recon-
mended that the regulation pro-
vide permits before a transmitting
station is erected rather than after
ii is erected and before IL begins
to operate as is now the case.
An advisory committee OF twelve
experts, half from outside the gov
ernment. to be appointed by the
President is recommended as an
aid to the Secretary of Commerce
in the administration Of the new
radio regulations.

A. Antenna resistance may be

all except the high-power stations
the antenna resistance lies between
six and ten ohms. Although IT may

and height of aerial are factors af-

laws of electrical resistance do not
apply in the computation OF an

PERFECTS RADIO
RELAY RECORDER
TO COPY MESSAGES
Bureau of Standards Man
Explains His New
Device.
USABLE BY PLANES
Operates Mechanism Auto
matically in Accordance
With Signal Received.
USABLE BY PLANES

A radio relay recorder that will
receive and copy messages without
the use of a trained radio operator,
operate mechanism automatically in
accordance with a signal received,
and act as an automatic call sys-
tenn has been perfected by F. w.
Dunmore, OF the RADIO laboratory of
the Bureau of Standards.
II is sensitive enough to convert
feeble radio signals into
brating airplane, without attention.
The practical operation of re-
lays actuated by received radio
signals Is a comparatively recent
and has been made
possible by the development OF the
electron tube amplifier." says Mr..
Dunmore. The relay recorder II
designed to operate from the out
put terminals of a radio receiving
set and may also be operated by
any other source Of audio-frequency
signal By the use of special
electron tube circuits the audio-
frequency signal Is caused to op>
crate an ordinary telegraph relay.
ITO avoid the necessity for
using a very sensitive relay, de-
signed to operate on currents OF
a milliampere or less, which would
have delicate adjustments and light
contacts and spring tension. ad-
vantage was taken OF an electron
tube amplifier. which has now be-
come a reliable radio instrument.
to increase the input voltage to
the relay circuit. thus making pos
sible the use Of a simple ordinary
high-resistance telegraph relay.
The relay device has therefore
been developed to operate from the
output circuit of any suitable am
plifier in place OF the ordinary
telephone receivers.
The operation OF the relay may
serve to work a sounder. buzzer.
tape register or any mechanism
for remote control by radio. BY
the use of these relay recorders
connected in series across the out
put terminals Of a single radio re-
ceiving set, two messages sent on
practically the same wave length
but of different audio-frequencies,
have been accurately received sim
ultaneously."

The vacuum tube, whether IL be
VII, RAC-S, radiotron. receiving
or transmitting tube is the one i'm
portant part OF the radiophone set.
To explain its operation a new
theory was established as TO the
ultimate basis of matter. The
atomic theory which contended
that matter was made up OF tiny
particles called atoms was elabo-
rated to the extent OF claiming the
atoms contain within themselves
infinitely smaller particles. These
latter particles are not particles Of
matter as are the atoms, but rather
they are particles OF negative cleo
tricity.
When a body is heated the atoms
composing IL are set into motion.
The electrons contained within the
atom are then shot off into space.
The vacuum tube used in the ra-
diophone set is made up OF three
parts. Such tubes are often spoken
of as three element or three cleo
trode tubes. consisting of ilament.
grid and plate. The necessity Of a
vacuum or air exhausted tube is
that any gas present wo11d from
the behavior of its atoms interfere
with the normal elecron action
existing within the tube. Soft tubes
from which the air is only partially
exhausted are of special design.
In considering the functions OF
the tube elements. the filament F is
lighted to incandescence by the bat
terry A. In this state F immediate
ly gives of many millions of cleo
irons a second. with no obstruc-
tion in their path these electrons
would lombard the plate (P) at a
terrific rate, permitting greater
current flow through the plate cir
cult. This current may also be va
ried by the amount Of voltage sup
piled by the battery r which serves
to maintain the plate at a definite
voltage or potential. The third
element of the tube or grid (G)
serves to regulate this electron
flow. The action Of the grid may
be likened to the action of slat-
ted shutter which permits or OBJ
structs the passage of stones
thrown between Stats as the stats
are alternately opened and closed.
The effect OF this regulating action
is to rectify the high frequency
currents received into pulsating
currents which will then be audible
in the phones. The grid also has a
potential. An increase or decrease
of current through the circuit va
ries the negative potential of the
grid. The question then why does
a detector tube detect incoming
radio waves?" is answered. The
tube is first acted upon by the high
frequency currents received from
the aerial: these are rectifed by
the conditions present within the
tube and the rectified impulses con-
veyed to the phones T. where they
are made audible through the
phone diaphragm
