PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR SOUTHERN BALL
Postponed Last Week Because of
Wilson Death-Will Be
Held Thursday.

Officers and members of the Southern
Relief Society hope for the success of
their thirty-ffrst annual charity ball, to
be held in the New Willard Hotel next
Thursday evening, February IA, to OBJ
tain funds to care for the needy Con-
federate soldiers and their widows and
to maintain the Southern Relief Home,
at 2403 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
for the year.
The ball was to have been held last
Monday, but was postponed because Of
the death of the late President Wood
row Wilson. and would have been post
poned until a much later date but for
the urgent need of funds. The society
Is now providing for approximately fifty
needy Confederate soldiers or their
widows, and there are eighteNn now in
the Southern Relief Home. The pro-
ceeds from the annual ball are practi-
cally the sole means of support, both for
the maintenance of the home and for
the material needs.
Mrs. Pearce Horne. president of the
society, is confident that the ball will be
the most successful in the history OF
the organization. The committee on
arrangements consists OF Mrs. Horne
and the following officers: Mrs. Bates
Warren, vice president: Mrs. Jeter G.

correct adjustments to receive prop

frequency amplifiers If overloaded by
signals OF too great volume do not
reproduce as faithfully as they do
when amplifying a current Of normal
volume.
Receiving sets located within. a
short distance Of WEAF's transmitter
or those not adapted to selective tuning
may at first interfere with satisfactory
reception of other local broadcasting
stations. However, this is a condi-
tion which can certainly be corrected
by simple adjustments of the receiving
sets. 1t may be recalled that when two
channel broadcaSting operation was
first inaugurated last year on $50 and
400 meters, listeners were troubled by
interference but by improvement Of
their sets now separate these two wave
difficulty was experienced when four
channel operation was undertaken in
the metropolitan area.
An indication of the selectivity OBJ
tainable with suitable receiving appa-
ratus is given by the fact that 600
meter watch is maintained within a
few feet of WEAF's antenna. A short
receiving antenna is employed which
successfully eliminates WEAF so that
reception of ship wave lengths is pos
sible. If this can be done within fifty
feet of the broadcasting station the
feat can be duplicated at greater dis
tanceS.
One of the causes of difficulty,
which has frequently been noted, is the
use of antenna of too great lengths
for local reception. a 100-foot outdoor
antenna may be suitable for long-dis-
tance receptions while the local sta
tions are not operating. but it may be
unsuitable for interference-free local
reception.

Ever since started making radio apparatus
it has been our fixed policy to offer to the
public the best possible receivers at the lowest
possible cost. That this policy has been appre.
ciated is proven by the fact that shortage of
Crosley radio apparatus has existed at all times,
although The Crosley Radio Corporation has
been producing more radio receiving sets than
any other organization in the world. Hereto.
fore constantly added improvements have
forced us to maintain steady prices. but so Great
has been the response of the public for Crosley
instruments that greatly increased production
now allows us to lower the price of the entire
line and still maintain our constant research
for Improvements.
AS astounding example of the results of
this research we now offer a new and wonder

WEAF's Increased Power.

wEAF's development work in con-
nection with the use of higher power
has aroused the interest of radio
listeners not only in the metropolitan
area but throughout the eastern half
of the United States. 1t has long
been realized by radio engineers, who
have studied the situation here, that
there can be no further improvement
in broadcasting conditions, partic-
ularly as regards spark telegraph
interference, unless 1t Is possible to
increase the power of New York
broadcasttng stations. Increased
power results in greater volume, it
reduces the ratio Of the telegraph
and static Interference as compared
with the broadcast program. This
improvement applies not only to ex-
pensive receiving sets but to the most
modest equipment in operation. The
owner of A crystal receiving set re-
ceives WEAF's program with much
greater volume. and is consequently
much better able to enjoy the pro-
gram. Those possessing vacuum-tube
sets with many stages of amplifica-
tion are able to operate successfully
with reduced .amplif1cation, avoiding
overlooking Of tubes and securing in
consequence a much higher quality
of reproduction. Sensitive receiving
sets must. of course. be adapted by

When Is q Set Complete.

Efforts are being made to stand
artiize radio apparatus and the no.
m.nclature which describes sets anu

turers and dealers standardized de-
scriptions' of sets? When Is set
complete? How much more must one

for phones?

Telephone Company and asked Tor
aid, explaining that although she
knew WCAP was broadcasting. she
could not get it on her new set.
The operator inquired If & the TUBES tube,
they were, and, being told. said there
didn't seem to be any in the set.
Further inquiry showed that she had
neither tubes. batteries. aerial nor
phones. but that the donor OF tne
gift supposed he had presented her
a radio receiver ready for operation.
Other examples such as this con-
vince of the need of better salesman
ship and also of better advertising.
for some advertisements are FOUND to
be misleading, although probably not
intended to be deceptive. The dealer
who sold the above set lost the sale
of accessories, and the purchaser was
embarrassed and disappointed "neh
he learned that vital parts were miss.
ing from the set" The word "set"
implies that it is a complete entity.
An automobile salesman would not
sell or advertise car without bat
terry, headlights and tires. Why
should a radio salesman do so? If
the set is not complete and ready to
operate, why not say without tubes,
batteries or phones" as few asen-
cies do? Complete sets could also
be advertised, and then the pur-
chaser would know just how much
money he would have to spend.

Some of these living in Bannack

this frequently said, my father, on

the name of Edgerton county tc
that of Lewis and Clarke. If they
could not lower the flag they could
show their contempt for the man
who upheld it during that trying
period, and in doing so risked the
lives of himself and his family.
1t being known that the howitzer
was at our house, after Copley's
death and the gathering of the mob
to avenge him-a small company of
men was sent to get it,, and I had
the opportunity to see how the mob
spirit affected its victims. Those
who came for the howitzer were
CHASTITY pale, and looked like sleep
walkers. They shook from head
to foot as if with ague.
Drawing out the howitzer, they
did not stop to place it on its car
riage, but hauled it away to the
hill overlooking Pizanthia's cabin;
loaded it with shells and discharged
it again and again, but I never
heard that they hit their mark

To Our mind, there are few
changes in the text of the proposed

an Improvement would be worked
out thereby, So far as Montana is
concerned, its definition of farm

and dragged outside, where Smith
Ball emptied his revolver into the
body of the man who shot him
when Copley was killed.
Not waiting to see if the Mexi-

from neighboring clothes pole.
Then man shouted, That cabin
is mine, boys; pull it down and

not his exact words-they would
not have passed the censor-but
what have given mildly express
his command.
At once he was obeyed, the
fury of the mob finding partial re-
lief in physical effort. The cabin
was fired, and served as the funeral
pyre of the dead Mexican, and
when man and cabin were reduced
to ashes, the crowd dispersed, and
once more became sane.
My father did not at any time
join the crowd; but he followed the
howitzer to the hilltop, from which
he watched the scene. He saw
Pizanthia taken from the cabin,
shot and hung. But when the
order came to burn the body, he
said he thought it was time for the
chief justice of the territory to |
