from the headquarters of Chang Tso-
Lin in Tientsin saying that General
WI Pei-Fu was killed in action near

but started an investigation.

FAMOUS ATTORNEY
QUICK ON DRAW

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.-For
the 26Sth time in a tempestuous ca.
rcer of nearly thirty years as a
criminal lawyer, Moman Pruiett,
fifty, Oklahoma City, has been called
in to defend a man under shadow
cast by deadly shot he fired.
This time the defendant was Jean
p. Day, wealthy lawyer, politician
and oil man, who killed Lieutenant
Colonel Paul w. Beck on April 4,
when he surprised Beck attempting
attack on the honor of his wife.
Pruiett, with his flowing shock
of hair that gave him the nickname
of "the black-maned maverick of
the Washita," has fought opposite
prosecutors in practically every
county of Oklahoma, and has de-
Tended slayers as far west as Aber-
deem, Wash.

when Pruiett, as youthful attor-
ney, defended man under murde'
charge who has, since grown to great
prominence III OhidIlOII1d, AAo AAAiAS
spread.
His is the frontier type, grown w
with the west and though Okla
bona population has changed great
ly in thirty years, Pruiett has never
lost the keen perception and knoWl-
edge of people in every community
that makes him clever at jury-pick-
ing and shreWd at presenting testl-
mony.
His western character also
makes him as fast with a gun as
any man he has ever defended. 1t
was last year that Pruiett and his
partner, Orban Patterson, ran afoul
Of two killing negroes in a house on
the south side of Oklahoma City
Though the negroes are reported To
have got to their guns, Orban Pat
terson. killed one and Pruiett took a
shot or two at the other, who fled.
Pruiett was prominent III the de
tense of former Senator 7. P. Gore
in the famous Minnie Bond case. in
which Gore was completely ex
onerated.

RADIO

'How far should be able to hear
code and voice with a crystal de-
tector set, using a two-slide tuning
coil? The aerial is 125 feet long
and 40 feet high. I use 1000 ohmS
phones. How can improve this
set for Voice?"-Y. A, Atlanta.
Answer-With a crystal detector
set as described you should be able
10 receive code from an average dis
lance of thirty to forty miles. voice
from ten to fifteen miles under ia
vorable atmospheric conditions. To
hear voice and music over a greater
distance you should replace your
crystal set with a vacuum tube set
having one or two stages of amplih.
cation.
Including the parts car find
around the house, what else will
I need to complete my radio set?
Is it necessary to have electricity
in the houseY"-G. r. F., 257 Vine
street. ,.,'
;Answer-If. you are building n
crystal detector set, you may be
able to find all the necessary ma
terial, including the copper wire,
around the house, with the exception
of a piece Of galena for detector and
phones for the set. These you will III
any event find it necessary to pur-
chase. If you have. reference to a
vacuum tube set, you probably will
have to buy most of the equipment
used. 1t is not necessary to have
electricity in the house to install
and operate a radio set.
F.! IT have a two-wire antenna fifty.
i five feet long, with lead-!n twenty
feet long Is there anything I ca.
do to improve it? I use a detector
and telephone receiver and home
made tuner."-L. N, Milledgeville,
Georgia.
Nnswer-Your aerial should be- at
least 100 feet long and forty to fifty
feet high to insure best results. You
should use phone of 1000 ohms re-
sistance instead of the telephone re-
ceivcr. This will enable you to hear
incoming signals much more distinct
ly and louder.
(Which set is better, vacuum
tube detector and two-stage ampli-
fer, or a two-slide tuner and vacuum
tube? Will fodr-wire aerial eighty
feet long be better for the above sets,
or single wire aerial 100 fet long
and forty feet high"'-M. x, Thorn
aston, Ga.
Answer-A vacuum. tube set with
two stages of application has a
greater receiving ra6ius than a sin
gle tube set with two-sliGe tuner.
An aerial 100 feet long and forty
feet high should give satisfactory
results with either type of receiver

Answer-The crystal detector sci
is satisfactory for receiving radio
broadcasting only within a limited
radius near the sending station. In

tart stations. you should replace
