items. Some fans will lay out a lot
of good money on the big items such
as transformers. couplers, condensers
etc, and then will try to save a few
cents by buying cheap grid condens-
ers and leaks; cheap aerial insulators
and lightning arresters and such
other small items. Many of the
smallest parts are just as important
to the working Of the receiver as the
larger parts and because two pieces
of apparatus look very much alike
do not make the mistake of coming
to the conclusion that both will work

its poorest part.

Christmas Eve Caroling
Is Now Fixed Custom

Like a SNOWFALL, the total number
of American cities that have held out
door Christmas caroling has increased
from 80 in 1918 to an aggregate OF
2,025 different places, including last
years celebration. These statistics
are embodied in Christmas Caroling
in 1929" a survey just issued by the
national bureau for the advancement
of music The actual number of cities
that had outdoor caroling in 1928 was
1885, according to definite reports re-
ceived by the bureau. The informa-
ton was gathered from newspaper
clippings from all parts of the coun-
try, as well as by direct correspond
ence, and it is probable that many
cities were overlooked.
According to the bureaus records
the number of cities having caroling
during the various years was the fol-
lowing:
80 cities and towns, December, 1918
ITO cities and towns, December, 1919
3S3 cities and towns, December, 1920
712 cities and towns, December, 1921
1173 cities and towns, December, 1922
1885 cities and towns, December, 1928
This last figure does not include
$50 cities and towns included in the
previous surveys but from which no
reports were received as to 1928, al
though large percentage of them
undoubtedly observed the custom.
Shortly after the inception of the
national bureau, it began, at the sug-
gestion of c. A. Grinnell, of Detroit,
working for the countrywide expan-
sion of the old custom of Christmas
caroling by groups called waits. "
AS model for caroling organizations
it suggested the plan worked out on
a city-wide basis in Detroit. The
bureau also issued an international

100000 New Cars

dresser are some of the features that

road, for the California Limited, prior
to January LIST, 70 new steel cars,
costing approximately 81, 10000 Many
of these will have no equal on any
line in America.
Announcement of the additional
equipment was made by Jas. B. Duff
fly, general passenger agent. The new
service will be inaugurated about the
first of the year, and there will be
no excess fares for those travelling on
these trains, the official declared.
Included in the big steel equipment

KAIBAB DEER HUNT
ENDED BY ORDERS OF
FORESTRY OFFICIALS

Deer hunting in the Kaibab national
has been stopped by the forestry SER
vice and the problem of saving thou
sands of the animals roaming the
plateau of the region from starvation
this winter was placed in the hands
of the state, according to forestry Of
ficials.
The arrest of three Utah "co-opera-
tors" by officers authorized by the
state to enforce the game laws against
possession of deer out of season was
followed by an announcement at Ka-
nab, Utah, by Forest Supervisor Rut-
ledge that the cooperative killing"
agreement had been abandoned.
Hunting began in the forest last
week under permits authorized by the
forestry service, and was met by ex-
pressions of disapproval by state Of
ficials who have contracted to move
5000 of the deer across the Grand
Canyon to other Arizona forests.
About 200 deer were slain in the for
est, located in the Grand Canyon
game preserve.
In referring to the alleged agree
ment, Mr.. Rutledge's announcement,
said state officials had agreed to the
details of the killing plan, although
they had not agreed to the time it
should be made effective.
Declaring the state by it's action
E'thus ends the practicable plan" for
relieving the situation, Mr.. Rutledge
said 'the state must assume the re-
sponsibility for damage to the range
and loss by starvation of thousands
of deer which people would be glad
to use"
Governor Hunt said he had no
knowledge of the so-called "co-opera-
tive killing" agreement referred to
by Mr.. Rutledge.
