standpoint-willr consist of a report

New Type OF AnteRna.
An Italian radio experimenter,
Adriano Ducatin,i has communicated
successfully with amateurs in sthis
country with u novel antenna ar
rangement, the use Of which is new
to radio men in the United States,
has just been received, by the Amert-
can Radio Relay League, Mr. Ducati
increases the capacity between his
antenna and counterPoise with an
extra counterpoise erected above the
, regular antenna system. -
He is easily the foremost amateur
, in italy, inasmuch as he was the first
to establish; two way connection with
. this country. Being unfamiliar with
all of the methods employed by
American radio men, he did not place
any special stress on his novel aerial.
The technical DEPARTMENT OF the A. II,
r. L.. however. is Interested In the
use of an addit 0nal counterpoise over
the antenna. and experiments will be
made shortly to determine its special
advantage. ~ : ~. -
In other respects Mr.. 'Ducati's
equipment is similar TO the better
class of amateur stations in vthis
country, and the results are regard ed
as. remarkable, considering that sr!
. interest in amateur radio is just be-
ginning in Italy: He states that the
broadcast bug is biting, and condf-
! lions as regards reception of pro-
, grams are about the same as they
were in the United States two years
ago.
Every one wants radio sets, but
/ the ready-made apparatus is far
from being standardized. The fan
who is starting in radio is in doubt
as TO what kind of set he should
get, and interference conditions are
likely to be troublesome for some
time TO come. Strange to say, most
of the interference on short waves
come from stations in Holland.
France, England. Switze rland, Bel
GUM and other places.

POTTSVILLE. Pa, January 23.-A
mother and her four daughters, rang
ing in age from one to sixteen, were
burned to death in a fire at Middle
port, five miles from here early to-
day when their home was almost
completely destroyed. Andrew Har-
villa, the husband and father, was
severely burned in attempting to res
cue them.
Mrs. Harvilla lost her life in an
heroic effort to save Sar children.
With part of the house a raging
furnace, she dashed inside and to the
second floor, where she seized her
one-year-old baby daughter from her
crib and was making her way to the
stairway when she was overcome by
smoke.
In the back bedroom. over the

found in bed overcome and burned
to death probably as they slept.
Another daughter was found user
the bed. where she had evidently
crawled in a confused effort to es-

fifth daughter was probably saw
ed from a similar fate because of q
visit to her grandmother where she
spent the night.

SIGN 12-M|LE PACT
IN RUM TRADE WAR
Hughes and Geddes Affix
Signatures Extending U. S.
Right of Search.

The new rum treaty with Great
Britain was signed today at the State
Department.
Secretary Hughes, for the United
States, and Sir Auckland Geddes, the
retiring British ambassador, affixed
their signatures to the agreement,
which provides for extension of the
American right Of search beyond the
three-mile limit and permits British
vessels to bring ships stores into
American ports under seal.
Senate Must Ratify.
Senate ratification is required be-
fore the new arrangement becomes
effective, but there are indications
that pending that formal approval
the two governments tacitly will fol-
each other in dealing with the LIQUOR
cuestion-until now one of the most
serious to disturb British American
relations in recent years.
Signature of the treaty today meant
the realization of one of the long
cherished hopes of the dying Baldwin
ministry in England.
The retiring premier's desire to
conclude this step toward a better
understanding between the two great
English-speaking nations was almost
wrecked by the delay of some of the
dominion governments in giving their
approval, but the last Of them con-
sented yesterday and Ambassador
Geddes was ordered to sign the treaty
Immediately.
Geddes Leaves Soon.
The hour of signature coincided al
most exactly with receipt of news
that, Baldwin had turned over the
affairs of the empire to his successor.
For Sir Auckland Geddes, too, sigma
ture of the treaty which he helped to
negotiate was the last official act
to be performed as ambassador to
the United States. Later in the day
he had an engagement at the White
House to present his letters Of recall.

The negotiations preceded the first

President Coolidge has insisted must

Mr.. Green indicated. despite no

ahead in committee with view to

piled by asking If the republicans In

REBELS TO PERMIT
SHIPS IN TAMP|CO
PORT At OWN RISK
Blockade to Be Abandoned.
Foreign Craft Warned of
Bombardment Danger.

The de la Huerta revolutionists in
Mexico are preparing to abandon
plans for the technical blockade Of
Tampico and to substitute policy
under which foreign commercial craft
will be warned that if they enter the
zone of possible bombardment there
they will do so at their own risk.
First word Of the change in plans
reached the State Department today
in q consular message from Vera
Cruz, which merely said the blockade
was to be raised, without definitely
establishing whether the policy would
be permanent. Previously it had been
announced that the blockade order
would remain suspended until Febru-
airy /.
Later. however, it was learned
through private advices that Ameri-
can protests against the blockade
would be observed, but that zone
of naval warfare would be declared In
effect off Tampico, and ships would be
notified that II they traversed the
line of fire they would take their
own chances. Rebel warships will re-
main at Tampico, and commerce will
be warned that they may at any mo-
ment open fire on the batteries set
up by the Obregon forces at the
its banks.
Precedent Is Seen.
De la Huerta leaders at Vera Cruz
profess to see precedent for such
course in the Rio incident" Of 1894.
A revolt by the Brazilian navy at
that time was followed by an at
tempt to blockade that port, but Ad-
miral Benham. in command Of United
States naval forces there. protested.
An arrangement then was worked out
by which ships were warned, as they
will be at Tampico. that they were
at liberty to enter the port, but must
stand the consequences to themselves
should a bombardment be in progress
at the time.
AS another step in it's efforts to aid
the Obregon government, the United
states has ordered discontinued the
sending of mail by steamer to the Mex
ican states of Vera Cruz. Campeche
and Yucatan. Hereafter the mail will
be turned over to the Mexican federal
post office authorities at Laredo for
disposition or delivery.
The action was taken by the Post
Office Department on request of the

Too Much Limelight.

How the Progressive dictators and
managers are squirming, They have
no liking for the campaign that is
being waged in Idaho this fall
against their candidate for governor.
Just natural. that's all. The Pro-
gressiycs are paying for their popu-
larity. They were ignored two years
ago when Alexander was considered
the premier obstacle in the way OF
the election Of Charley Moore until
the ballots were counted. Today
Samuels and the Progressive party
are being given the same attention
that the Democrats and Alexander
got two years ago.
One way to keep candidates from
being drawn through the muck and
mire and to get away from personal
mics in campaign is 10 name can
didates whose life record is absolutely
above criticism and reproack. Tha,
is the sort Of man the Republicans
named in Governor Moore.

This is a national campaign year.
And one is likely to forget that the
county campaign concerns most OF
us more intimately than does the
NATIONAL even though the latter makes
more racket in its progress toward

Take, as case in point, Mrs.
Reavis, Republican candidate for coun
ty school superintendent. Regardless
OF politics. here is candidate whom
everyone can and should support.
Mrs. Reavis has taught in Canyon
county schools for 10 years. She is
competent and thoroughly in touch
with educational conditions In Can
yon schools. By experience and train
ing, Mrs. Reavis is so we'll qualified
to direct county school activities that
the county would be fortunate indeed
to have her fill the Office of county
superintendent.
More than that. her chief opponent,
Mr. Claybaugh, is seeking 4 position
that tradition has commonly conced-
ed to a. woman. And il is right
that such should be the practice Al
most without exception, teachers are
young women. They prefer tina, the
county superintendent be a woman.

days Every friend OF good schools
in Canyon county should vote for
Mrs Reavis il they wish 10 be GER

The Quiet Vote.

Tremendous efforts arc being mad,
this year TO get out the vote" Vote
as you please. but Vote" is one clar.
ion cry that is being generally
broadcasted. And yet the election
apathy has never been more marked
1t is quite possible tina, a lot OF
citizen slackers will find their way
to the polls this fall who. without
the repeated call to duty in this
vote campaign. might not otherwise
have voted.
The major difficulty to be over
come is making 1924 the year OF the
big vote" is this general apathy.
But that is easily explained. Am
orleans generally are well satisfied
with the way things arc going in
government. They constitute that
large group OF average citizens who
carry on day after day, who in short
form the backbone OF America.
Those citizens are for Coolidge.
Most OF them. recognizing the import
ance OF fulfilling duties OF citizen
ship, will vote But they do not get
enthused about the thunder OF pol
itical campaigns. They do little APP
plauding but their voice will be heard
in the land on election day.

led organization as is Progressive
