Philadelphia Hospital
Has Radio Equipment

The American Oncologio Hos
pital, Philadelphia, furnishes radio
concerts to its patients.
The receiving set, which oper-
ates in connection with q loop,
is located near the telephone
switchboard, so each bed in the
wards of the hospital is equipped
with a head telephone set. Al.
together there are thirty pairs
of phones connected at the bed
sides of patients, so that at any
time Of day or night they may
listen to the concerts.
Loudspeakers are installed in
the solarium, where convalescent
patients may listen to programs
without the necessity Of using
headphones. The switchboard
enables the operator to plug in
all of the thirty pairs of phones
with the solarium.
Radio in this way Is affording
many pleasant hours to the pa
tients which otherwise would
have been long and tiresome.

Local Men Planned City's
First Radio Exposition

Conceived, planned and pro-
NOTED by Washingtonians, the
Radio Show at Convention Hall
is IN every sense of the word
local.
Numerous radio shows have
been held throughout the cOun-
try within the last two years,
but the Washington exposition
was designed to eclipse them ali
and the managers believe they
have succeeded. How we'll they
have succeeded remains to re
proved by radio fans who attend
the show.
The exposition, which opens
this afternoon, will be conducted
under the auspices Of the Radio
Merchants Association of Wash
ington. with three men handling
practically all Of the mass of
details and arrangements.
William P. Boyer is president
of the association. His high
principles and pleasing personal
ity have won for him hundreds
of warm friends and admirers.
His guidance of the association
has led it to great benefits to
the entire membership.
Boyer is a native Of Hatties-
burg, Miss. He has been in the
radio and electrical business in
Washington for five years. When

|Neutrodyne Troubles

Radio fans have been CON-
planning that their neutrodyne
receivers have been emitting
whistles and squeals. In most
every case they claim that the
set is neutralized properly. If
a neutrodyne is neutralized cor
rectly and whistles and squeals
are heard in the phones or loud
speaker the chances are that
these noises are caused by near
by receivers which are the re-
generative type. Single circuit
regenerative receivers, unless
properly tuned, win cause inter
ference over a wide area. This
interference appears in the form
of 0queals and bowls which can.
not be eliminated In your re.
ceiver and will never be elimI.
mated until receivers Of this kind
are operated properly or their
design corrected.

BROADCAST SHOP
FEATURES ZENITH
Popular and Distinctive Re-
ceiVing Sets to Be DEM
onStrated at Show.

The Broadcast Shops exhibit
at the Radio Show will include
a complete display of Zenith
models. many Of which are in
stalled in Washington homes.
At the show the distinctive
merits OF the Zenith will be
demonstrated by the Broadcast
Shops skilled and experienced
staff. Among the recognized
points Of excellence in the Zenith
are: unusual selectivity, loud
speaker volume ON distant sta
ton. ease Of tuning, accurate
reproduction and fauItiess recep-
ton under all conditions.
In the 3R Zenith sets are Of
fered combination Of three
stages Of application and re-
ceiver in one cabinet, which
works smoothly, without squeak
or distortion. With either the ar
or 3R, it is said that the most
remote stations in the United
States can be heard through any
low priced loud speaker with
photograph volume. Two thou
sand miles is said to be a
very conservative estimate Of
Zenith range. No special skill
Is required for the operation Of
the high class Zenith sets.

WOMAN SOUGHT
As SLAYER
Of GIRL

AMHERST, Me-. May 26.That
q woman may have murdered
pretty Louise Gerrish. nineteen
year-old village school teacher, was
the theory, unusual in such crimes,
that is being exploited by State and
local authorities today.
Finding OF footprints made by q
woman in the soft earth around
the shallow grave, where the body
was discovered, Is one OF the fac
tors that has turned investigators
In this direction. The fact that
Louise Gerrish was not attacked
added weight to the theory. Louise
Gerrish was disrobed by her assail-
ant or assailants and some of her
clothing sused as gag, and this
at first centered search for the
murderer about young men OF the
girls acquaintance.
The girl was not without ad-
mirers, two of whom followed her
body to its last resting place yes
terday. Although there is nothing
to indicate that she had aroused
the jealousy of another woman, the
investigation was today directed
toward finding a woman Miss Ger
IRISH might. have unwittingly made
an enemy. T5
The girl was not slain in close
struggle, as II has been definitely
established she was about Is feet
from the person who discharged a
shot gun loaded with buck shot
into her breast
