itably inclined residents, and espe-
cially the radio fans who are fully
cognizant of the value of radio as
tonic for the sick.
Need Of Old Sets.
There are hundreds of radio en-
thusiasts in the District who bought
or made crystal sets when radio was
in it's infancy, later replacing them
with the more expensive tube receiv-
ers. Some of these fans still have
these crystal sets in their possession.
1t is these sets that are lying idle in
the cellar or attic that The Star
wants to give to the "shut-ins.
If YOU are one of these radio fans
get the set out, put a pair of head
phones with it, if YOU have an extra
pair and bring them to the business
office of The Star, on the first floor of
The Star building. A certificate Will
be given the donor, showing that he
has contributed set to the stars
radio shut-in fund Tube sets are
not wanted
May Send Cash.
Some of the fans may have an ex-
ira pair of headphones which have
been discarded, and no crystal set
In that case send in the phones.
Those who haven't either can send
cash contribution that will help buy
sets and phones.
Moreover, the recipients OF the
crystal sets will need antenna Wire'
insulators and other essential equip
ment. 1t will require money to buy
it. Contributions for this purpose
in any amount. will be received by
The Star. The names of the con-
tributors and the amount contributed
will he acknowledged in the columns
of The Star.
Will Install Sets.
The more than 5000 Boy Scouts In
Washington. through Edward 3
Shaw. scout executive, have volun-
teered to install the sets without
cost. Virtually all of these boys are
sufficiently familiar with the tech-
nioue of radio to do the WORK satis-
factorily. AS soon as the sets are re-
ceiyed they will be overhauled by the
scouts, if necessary, put in hrst-ciass
working condition and 1nstalleo III
the homes of the deserving shut
ms
The sets will not be given to any
"shut-in" except upon an n;a;an a,iua'n
signed by minister or physician

bly, come into contact with scores
of inyalids each day, are asked 10

by Mr.. Mark on three occasions from
WCAP for discarded crystal sets. In
response the radio fans donated for
ty-three sets, seven pairs OF head
phones and in addition cash contriou @
tions, for the purchase or antenna
