CHAPPELL HOST
TO RADIO FANS
New Radio Set Recently Install
ed in His Office Gives Pleas
ure To Many Persons

Fifty Americas people gathered
In the office OF the Chappeil Ma
chinery company building last night
to enjoy the radio concert with
which Allen Chappell, owner and
operator of the newest radio install
lation set in the city, entertained.
Intense interest centered in the
facility with which Mr.. Chappeli
could tune in, the only necessity
being a request from some listener
for certain station.
The set, which is perhaps the
largest and most complete in Amer
icus, is a handsomely constructed
apparatus, with bulbs and dials
which work magic with air currents
and wave leQgths. Mr.. Chappell
himself intensely interested in the
study of radio, generously invites
his friends and the public general
ly to these evening concerts which
begin at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
and continue until the last program
has been rendered.

and readers were in the building
in which the concert was heard.
Kansas City, Mo-, Chicago, and 9th
err stations came in, and except Cor
unusual static interference due to
electricity, each program was clear
and distinct.
From an unnamed station, which
was tuned" in too late to receive
the announcement, a splendid play
was in progress, and it was with
regret that the listeners could not
have the benefit of the full text.
Mr.. Chappell will give these con-
certs each night in his building,
and wants all interested persons to
come and hear the greatest mech
anism of the age, radiophono-
graphy, which brings to each indi-
vidual the pleasure and profit Of
first class concerts from all parts
of the United States.

GEORGIA GAS TAX
IS ROAD BUILDER
Proves Great Agency For Road
Building in Statewide Sys-
tenn Of Highways

ATLANTA. Nov. 24.--The III.
flow of nearly a million dollars to
the Georgia treasury during the
fiscal year just ended from the one
cent gasoline tan tells afresh the
story of what motorists are dong
in the cause of better highways.
The sum officially reported is
S94S. 252-an INCREASE of more than
100000 over the twelve months
preceding.
Now that the tax has been rails
ed to three cents a gallon, the en-
tire proceeds Of which will go to
the improvement of county roads
and the development of state
wide system, the gasoline engine
becomes more than ever power for
, highway building.
It seems but few years ago
that fearsome philosophers were
wagging their boards in lament over
the havoc which automobiles WOuH
play with the country's roads. A
vehicle that put an end to the M
nocent wayside ramblings of poul-
try, that comprised more miles in
one hour than Dobbin in six, and
that sucked forth the yitals Of earth
with its speeding Gires, must be in
sooth an instrument Of destruction
if not of darkness.
But behold how the destroyer
has builded," says John S. Cohen,
editor of the Atlanta Journal in
paying tribute to the auto as an
agency of progress. "Tha history
cf good roads in Georgia, as in
America at large does not verify
begin till the advent of the auto
mobile, since when more highways
have been built in a year than pc
fore in a generation"

SHIPS WILL COMPLY
Companies Still Studying
Amcrica,S DRY Ruling

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Although
so far without official copies Ct the
new ship liquor regulations issued
by the Secretary, most of the en-
bassies and legations in Washington
whose merchant vessels would be af-
fected have cabled their home gov
ernments brief synopsis of the or
der. The full text will be- forwarded
in due course also, but the time in
tervening before the regulations take
effect Sunday Is so short that it is
believed the foreign chancellories
may decide upon a course of action
at least for the present. on the basis
of cabled summaries.
In diplomatic quarters the opinion
is expressed that the inability to
reach a decision as to the policy will
be taken by the managers Of the
great steamships companies. al
though 1t is expected that they will
advise with officials of their own
governments before doing so. While
there is some talk of the adoption of
retaliatory measures. such talk is not
as pronounced as 1t was few days
ago
The impression Is gaining ground
here that for the most part steam
ship companies will make an honest
effort to comply with the American
law
