nights are not conducive to clear
to bring in stations with any degree
OF volume, for the cold will step up
signal strength amazingly This part
OF the country during the past To-
dey period has experienced almost
summer atmosphere.
Augusta In not situated near
enough to any broadcasting station
to secure the programs which would
easily be picked up with volume by
radio sets situated in the same city
or near 1t. Boston Is the nearest,
though not containing the most pow.
erful station, from which broad
casting is heard in Augusta, not of
course taking into account code
transmission. Even with good at

not come in with local strength.
WBZ. the nearest powerful broad
casting station, can, be generally
made to come through under ordi-
nary conditions with at least head
phone volume. and it is safe to say
that when this station cannot be
heard comfortably and without
straining the ears, atmospheric con-
ditions are particularly bad.

the reading course. 1.-The American
iZation of Edward Box" will be read
by the seniors. Lorna Doone" by
the Juniors, David COperfleld" by

Mr.. Cony should realize from his
long utilization with political work
that individuals are very often mis-
quoted by newspaper reporters who

ASKS OFFICERS FOR D. C.
Bill in House Would Make Army
Men Available for Duty.

A bill to make available an officer Of
the Army of appropriate grade for
service in charge of public buildings
and grounds in the District of Col
umbia was introduced in the House
today by Representative Rathbone Of
Illinois. a member of the House Dis
trict committee. This bill was re-
ferred to the military affairs COM
mittee.
The Rathbone bill proposes to amend
existing law by providing for two as
sistants instead of one and by specific
provision that one of these two as
sistants shall be legally eligible for
assignment in charge of the public
buildings and grounds and for assign
nent as superintendent of the State,
War and Navy Department buildings,
and shall also be eligible for the
exercise of any or all functions hereto
fore carried on by the officer detailed
to act in charge of public buildings
and grounds in the District or as
superintendent of the State, War and
Navy Department buildings.
The Rathbone bill would repeal that
portion Of the act of March 8. 1873,
which provides that the officer in
charge of the public buildings and
grounds shall have the rank, pay and
emOlumentS of a colonel.

BY the ASSociatep PreSs.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Mrs. Elaine
May Harris has no money with which
to wage her legal contest against her
husband Beverly d. Harris. former
vice president of the National City
Bank of New York, who brought suit
for the annulment of his marriage,
Mrs Harris attorney told Justice
Delehanty in supreme court today.
The declaration that Mrs. Harris
was without funds was made in con-
nection with her application for an
order requiring Harris to furnish her
with complete records of the annul-
ment trial, in which the jury found
that Mrs. Harris misrepresented her
self to her husband before their mar
riage. Mrs. Harris seeks the records
for use in her appeal from the jury's
verdict.
Harris attorney said the applica-
tion for the records was another one
for more money" declaring that his
client has been branded as scar
let woman" Mrs. Harris attorney
maintained that Harris should be or
dered to provide the records, as she was
without the funds to prepare the case
for her appeal. Further hearing on
the application was adjourned until

Legislation alone cannot secure a

valuable in itself only when 1t meas
