Beauty Contest in Africa.

The Africa and Orient Review, a
South African newspaper, has started
a beauty contest for dusky bellies and
already 300 entries have been received
for the competition. The editor, Mr..
Mohamed Ali, thus describes the ne

RADIO LURE NETS
COAST DESPERATE
Police Trace Sale of Set to
Apartment-Forced to
Wound Him.
BY Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 1o.-To the
lure of the radio and his longing for
its charms as he hid in solitary lone
illness from a city-wide police hunt
today is being credited-and blamed
the spectacular capture here in
desperate gun battle of Big Biz
O'Connor, underworld bad man. rob-
Der chieftain of the notorious Cali
fornia "daylighters" and for the past
two years scourge of a score of big
city police departments, both in the
east and west.
Credit is being given by police
officers, who, through his purchase
of a high-priced radio set. were able
to trace O'connor to his hiding place
in an apartment house here. Blame
is being voiced by Big Bill himself.
who, as he lies desperately wounded
under close police guard. profanely
laments the fact that he ever per-
mitted himself to become such an ar
dent radio fan.
Wanted in Other Cities.
o'Connor. who. with members of \hs
"daylighters" gang, is wanted in
almost every big city of the country,
in more than a half million dollars
worth of bank and jewelry store
holdups in California alone, had been
hiding in San Francisco for two
months. The police knew he was
here. but he was too elusive to be
caught. That is. he was too wary
until Police Detectives George Nc
Laughlin and Leo Bunner. who are
radio devoteeS themselves, found out
that Big Bill was a rabid 'tuner-in"
til
A month ago Jimmy Blanton, mem
Der of O'Connor's "dayiighters," was
mysteriously bumped off in an ex-
otlcallly furnished apartment house.
where he, too, was hiding out be-
tween jobs. Underworld gossip said
he had been shot to death for double
crossing members of his gang
Detectives Bunner and MoLaughlin
came upon another apartment just
across the street from the scene of
Blanton's murder that had been
occupied by Big Bill O'Connor wasn't
there, however. He had fed lust
a few minutes before the detectives
arrived.
Left Fine Radio Set.
Behind him, however, he had left
one of the most complete and costly
radio sets obtainable, together with
other evidences that he was an
enthusiastic radio bug: Since then
detectives had watched and checked
all sales of high-priced radio sets
They knew O'Connor was still in San
Francisco and that he would buy
only the best set obtainable. Also,
they figured that venturing from
his hiding place would be regarded
by him as too dangerous and that
he probably would order his new
radio by telephone.
In the month since Blanton's mur-
der McI.auRhlin and Rnpper cbecL Al

priced radio sets by phone. All

given here every afternoon and
night

new bandit urge. Two weeks ago
he slipped out of his hiding place
with two confederates and a $780,
600 jewelry store robbery was
charged to them. Then he returned
to his hiding place.
Telephone Gives Clue.
Early Monday afternoon McLaugh-
lin and Bunner started out to run
down the eighty-eighth clue. 1t was
telephoned order for delivery of an
$500 radio set from a very respectable
apartment house on 6th street In
formation which they obtained made
them think they had a worthwhile
clue at last. This was confirmed an
hour after the delivery of the radio.
when they saw Big Bill on the roof
of the apartment house arranging
aerials. After that came his arrest,
but not until more than a hundred
shots had been exchanged and O'Con-
nor had been wounded five times.
From his police guarded hospital
bed, OConnor with a desperate grin
admits that his radio complex is
propensity for taking other peoples
money unlawfully.
II overlooked a bet, though, when
phoned for them to send up a
set" he says. 81 could probably have
walked down town in broad daylight
and got it myself without being
pinched."
Among numerous Pacific coast
banditries with which O'Connor is
charged is the $250.000 holdup OF the
Provident Bank and Loan Association
of Los Angeles. Police say the evil
dence in this case is strong enough
to send him to San Quentin prison
for long term of years. But maybe
Big Bin's tenue there will not be so
unhappy. For they have radio in

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
GIVE ATHLETIC HELP
Pope Praises Order for Building
Free Gymnasiums for Poor
People in Rome.

BY HIRAM KELLY MODERWELL.
By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright 1924.
ROME, Italy, July 10.-Edward
Hern. director of the Knights of Co
lumbus in Rome, is leaving for the
United States to attend the Knights
convention in August in New York
City. He will report the achieve
ments of the organization in Rome.
Work on five "oratories." or free
clubhouses with gymnasium and
playground attachments, has been so
all of them will be completed and in
operation by October
The first of these-the oratory of
ST. Peters, near the Vatican-was
dedicated and opened two months
ago and now entertains every day
nearly 400 children, mostly from poor
families. The other four oratories
are now rapidly approaching compile
ton. The five together will be
capable of affording recreation and
athletic instruction to 1000 or 5000
children every day.
The Popes appreciation of this
gift by the Knights of Columbus to
the city of Rome was expressed
again last week in conversation
with William Prout, president of the
Amateur Athletic Association of
America and a member of the Grand
Council of the Knights of Columbus.
After. comforting the order of st.

by a small weight placed at a con-
siderable distance from the fulcrum
as shown in figure 2.
This brings us to consideration
of the principle of the moments of
forces" 1t can easily be seen that
II the lever L in figure is suspend ed
SO that it is free to turn about the
fulcrum or bearing f, tho application
OF force such as that exerted by the
weight w tends to turn the lever
about it's fulcrum F. in a counter
clockwise direction "a direction op-
poste to that in which the hands of
a clock move). To counteract this
tendency another weight or a force
tending to move the lever in the op-
posite or clockwise direction must be
applied. A weight equal to w sus-
pended on the other side of the lever
at a distance from the fulcrum equal
to the distance between the fulcrum
and the original weight w would do
the trick. The use of a small weight
placed at a certain definite greater
distance from the fulcrum on the side
opposite that on which the weight w
is suspended would also accomplish
the desired result.
Forces Are Equal.
The moment of a force around a
center Of motion such as the fulcrum
is equal to the product of the force

SPELL OF SUMMER
EXTENDS TO RADIO
New Studio at Atlantic CITY to
Give Seaside Touch to
WDAR Program.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July TO-
That even radio is subject to the
spell Of these summer days and sue
cumbs to the lure of the seaside is
evidenced by the opening this week
of a new studio on Young'S Million
Dollar Pier, this city.
The studio is located in the center
of the pier, actually over the restless
Atlantic Ocean at all time.
The broadcast material is gathered
from four points on the immense
structure into central control room
Here a specially designed amplifier
builds up the microphone impulses
to sufficient power to carry them over
land wires clear across the state of
New Jersey, under the Delaware
River and into the operating room of
station WDAR in Lit Brothers de-
partment store, Philadelphia. The
programs are then broadcast under
these nationally familiar call let
ters.
The opening of this studio. which
will operate every Friday evening
during the sumer months, marks the
end of eight weeks of experimental
programs from the WDAR studio In
Atlantic City.
Two of the best known dance or
chestras in the country will broadcast
thorough this remote control. the Ben
son Orchestra of Chicago. with Don
Benson; and Charley Fry's Million
Dollar Pier Orchestra. In addition
the shows playing in the theater on
the pier including the Emmett Welch
Minstrels from Dumont's old theater
in Philadelphia, will contribute to
the Friday program each week

Neutrnlixing Forces.

Before a clear conception of the ac-
tion OF the neutrodyne circuit can
be ubtained 1t is necessary to have
clearly in mind the fundamental prin-
ciples of the naturalization of forces
on which the action of the neutro-
dyne is based.
The simplest instances of the prin-
ciples of naturalization Of forces are
to be found in the study of mechanics
All of us are familiar with the sport
known as the tug Of war;" in which
two opposing teams take hold of a
rope, one at each end, and in which
each team tries to pull the other
team toward its side, or to pull some
Of the opposing teams rope over to its
side.
When the two teams are evenly
balanced in weight and strength,
there is no movement of the center
of the rope to one side or the other of
the starting line. If the strengths
of the opposing teams are not equal.
however, the weaker team Is pulled
over by this stronger one.
Evening star., 1924-07-10

Another instance with which every
one is familiar is the scale or ball
ance shown in figure l. In this type
of weighing apparatus the piece to
be weighed is placed in one pan while
the standard weights in terms of
which the pieces to be stated are
placed in the other pan until a bal
ance is obtained indicating that the
weights in one pan exactly neu-
tralize the action of the piece to be
weighed in the other pan.
In these cases the applied force
causing the naturalization is equal to
the opposing force.
The NeutrnlizinE Force.
Where mechanical difficulties stand
in the way of applying an equal op-
posing force it is possible to balance,
or neutralize, a great force by the ap-
plication of a small force il the small
force is made to act in a way or
through a device which will give it
mechanical advantage"
This is the case, for instance, in the
weighing machines of the steelyard
type in which a large weight sus
pended close to the fulcrum or turn
ing point of the scale can be balanced
Evening star., 1924-07-10

, by the distance from the fulcrum at
which ii acts. The moment is said to
be clockwise or counterclockwise, de-
pending on whether it tends to turn
the lever in a clockwise or in d
counterclockwise direction. To pro-
duce a balance or condition of rest,
the moments of the forces in one
direction must be equal to the mo-
ments of the forces in the opposite
direction.
The moment of a force produced by
suspending a weight A of 200 pounds
at a distance of ten units of linear
distance or measure from the fulcrum
would give a moment of 2,000. This
could be balanced by a moment pro-
duced by any weight placed on the
other arm of the lever at a distance
such that the product of the weight
of force (staged in similar terms as
that of weight W) by the distance to
the fulcrum (stated in the same units
as the distance of w from F) would
be equal to 1000. a weight or force
of 100 pounds at a distance of twenty
units or fifty pounds at a distance of
forty units or any other combination
which would give result of 1000
would fulfill the condition for rest,
equilibrium or naturalization of
forces
