 Donald Sanford. 2s12 Orange ave- nue, and Joseph Mon, S3s5 Highland avenue, were among -, crowds at The Age Herald Saturday and tell us they now have crystal sets but are working on audions.
 A great many of the boys who come down to The Age-Herald each Saturday morning do not own sets but are coming in order to learn just how to make them. On Saturday morning, July s, little Gus Boatrite, 3376 Highland avenue, came along with the crowd and as he passed through the door he was given mum Der, as were all the other boys attending. His humber happened to be 29S. He was deeply interested as the set was being constructed and afterwards, when all questions asked by the boys with reference to con- struction of radio sets, had been an- swered. MT. Stanley put all of the duplicate numbers in a sack and after they had been well shaken up, ' of this number was to get the set. Slowly the caller called out the lucky number. TWO" said the caller and all boys having numbers beginning with two were getting excited. Then very slowly, he called nine" and the boys tickets starting with these two numbers were even more excited. Number 29S wins the set" said the caller. T got it," yelled little Gus frft -g, the crowd. Gus has the distinction of being the smallest boy who has re- ceived one of these sets. He is just nine years old and said he could hardly wait to get home to start get ting his set installed.
