RADIO FACES"
PUZZLE TO
SAVANTS
Found on Tape OF Machine
Installed to Pick Up Any
Message From Mars

Code experts of the. Navy De-
ton OF the curious figures traced
on the ribbon Of q long distance
radio receiver installed in the
laboratory OF C. Francis Jenkins,
inventor, to. pick up signals from
Mars.
The ribbon which Doctor Jenkins
and other scientists frankly ax.
pected to be blank, when taken
from its case yesterday revealed q
group Of unusual tracings Tor some
ten or fifteen feet.
The figures appear at regular
intervals and appear in q form
similar to a drawing Of q human
face.
Because Of the ract- that the
receiver had been set to pick up
signals from q, transmitter EN-.
ploying a greater wave length
than IL in use IN this country the
tracings are believed to be Of Inn.
Both Doctor Jenkins and his
associates, however, scorn the
theory that they are Marian
signals.
But the one chance in q million
that the signals actually did come
from the big red planet caused the
inventor to submit the ribbon to
the Navy Department code experts
for study.
Two possible earthly influences
that might have caused the signals
were secuted by Doctor Jenkins.
These are the electrical effect Of
arc lamps and various forms Of
static. Neither could have pro.
duced the tracings, according to
Doctor Jenkins
The signals were received Friday
night and early Saturday morning.

It was an easy matter last night
for one to arrange q program to

We picked and chose from the
features Of seven stations and
hoped the program managers Of
the local stations were doing the

There were lessons on the air
last night-lessons in progressive

We noted in particular the fol.
lowing numbers:

rapidly a new art, but there has
been no attempt In Washington TO
follow the lead Of such stations as
WGY. WBZ, WLW and WIFI in
the presentation Of air-plays.
2. The Midnight Frolic, from
KDKA, Pittsburgh.
Another feature that has found
favor with listeners all over the
country as presented from KDKA,

WDAF, Kansas City. and WIN,
New York. but which has never
been given a try-out locally.
8. A talk by Miss California"

enough to provide an interesting
and novel interlude for the. Edge

PROMISES JUDGE
 ID GO STRAIGHT
WOuld-Be Burglar Gets Another
 Chance to Mend Ways

Assuring tho court that he had learned his lesson and wanted to get a chance 10 start over and Init the straight and narrow" James IT. II. Johnson of Everett Mass, secured lenlency and q chance to make good from Judge William c. Hungerford in police court this morning. John son was arraiened on charges of at- tempted burglary in connection with breaks at store on Arch street conducted by Max Gorfain and at the Suburban Gas filling station on West Main street on the night of October %.
 He was taken into custody this morning al the Hartford county jail by Sergt. Patrick A, McAvay as he was being released on the comple- ton of a 30 days sentence imposed in the Plainvile town court a month ago for break in that town. When arragned before the court, he plead cd guilty and gave the court a straightforward story of his activi- ties in conenction with the attempt. ed breaks here.
 panied by James Riccio and Paul Rocco, both of whom are serv- ing sentences for hurglaries in Bris- tol, Johnson told the court he went to the rear of the GGrfain store and using a ChiscI, removed the putty from q window in door and took the window out. He said that he re- mained outside as lookout and the two others went in. They no sooner were in when Johnson spotted policeman on the other side of the street and whistled to them and ran away. There was nothing taken from the Gorfain store.
 He met his two pals later at the corner 0: Main and West Main streets and they walked out to the gas station. Johnson's job was to break the lights about the place and after hehad done this, Riccio and Rocco removed pane of glass from rear window. Just as they took the glass out, a man came out of nearby house and they were scared away.
 They then proceeded 10 PlainyiIle where they Gaised entrance to two stores by means of skeleton keys. Again Johnson stayed outside and when the two others came out and gave him his share of the loot, he ran away and headed for Bristol. Arriving in that city. he was picked up by the police and held for inves- tiGation when he was unable to eX- plain where he obtained the goods found on his person. The Bristol police went 10 his room to search, and they found Riccio and Rocco in bed there, with the rest of the loot in q corner,
 In disposing of the case. Judge Hungerford said that he was willing to give the defendant a chance, es- pecialIy in view Of the fact that he just camc from jail, so he gave him a suspended sentence of 60 days and placed him on probation for six months.
 Frank Andrews Of II Crown street, charged with breach of the peace and aSsaultng his wife, was given a suspended sentence of 30 days. He was arrested yesterday morning by patrolman Walter Ma iona after an investigation was made of complaint hy his wife that he beat her and chased her out Of the house.
