MUSIC TO RULE ON WCAP Bill

BY Listener.In-
4 was Ell Amaniiel's night.

The youthful cellist OF the Ward.
man Park Trio and his instrument
were given practically the entire
weight Of the concert program OF
the evening.
The solos were his, and in nearly
all Of the trio numbers his cello
was predominant.
It was the first time that young
ELI has been SO honored on the air.
AS though determined to do or die,
he went at his playing first with a
gentleness that was extraordinary
and then with amazing vigor in a
difficult scherzo.
In the trios his cello sang su-
premely.
And, unless we are badly mis-.
taken, there was no one to whom
the. boys work was more pleasing
than Moe Baer, his leader, who has
made him a very vital part Of the
airs most popular instrumental trio.
We heard Sweet Genevieve"
sung for the first time on the air
last night. The number was in.
cluded in the recital of Mabel Nc.
Calip, and was one Of the songs in
which Miss McCalip's contralto
IL
We had almost forgotten Sweet
Genevieve," and its entry on the air
last night reminded US that after
all there are other beautiful songs
and ballads besides II Passed BY
Your Window" AT Dawning.' -
"Kashmiri Love Song" and Where
My Caravan Has Rested"
Other old favorites for the even.
ing were songs of the civil war
period sung at the g. A. r. con-
vention at Boston and broadcast
by WBZ, Springfield.
The Westinghouse station must
have jumped up it's power for the
occasion. as the voice Of Sprin.
field rolled into our set with sur.
prising strength.
The Prince Of Wales Is going to
meet up with a violent reception
with radio when he makes his visit
to the United States the latter part
of this month.
Several broadcast managers are
sitting up nights trying to think
of some plan whereby they can In
veigle the prince into speaking for
Mike.
one suggestion offered by one
OF the managers was for a party to
be given for the prince to which
the Follies girls should be invited.
Then the girls and the prince
would do a little piece for the
radio.
No doubt, that would be highly
interesting to Mr.. Ziegfeld.
The princes first animation of
what he is to find In the way of
radio in the United States will be
given him when he steps on board
the Berengaria at Southampton.
A specially built neutrodyne, said
to be the most magnificent receiver
ever designed, Is to be presented to
him at that time by w. Roy Nc
Came, president Of the Stromberg
Carlson Company. on behalf Of the
radio fans Of the United States.
The set is mounted In a console
of beautiful Adam Brown mahogany
with everything self-contained. All
Of its metal parts are gold.plated.
A similar model has already been
tried on shipboard and successful
reception obtained from American
broadcast stations over distances of
$500 miles.

FLY-PoWER TAKEN, AS
MEASURE OF LOOP ENERGY

Reports of the infinitesimal amount
of energy received by a radio loop,
as described at a recent meeting Of
the American Chemical Society,
strikingly illustrate the importance
Of the condenser in receiving set.
A calculation made Of the amount
of power picked up by a loop one
foot in diameter in laboratory in
New York State receiving radio i'm.
pulses from San Francisco indicated
that 1t was equal to only one.bil.
lionth Of a Empower. The energy
set free by a house fly climbing up
the wall is equal, according to the
computation, to the amount Of
energy the loop would receive in a
continuous period of thirty-five
years.

Introduce American
Hospital Work in
Bulgarian Red Cross

Sofia, Dec. l0-A. Z. by MaiD-
American nursing and hospital meth
DDS are being introduced in the Bull
garian Red Cross hospital In this city
as model for hospital practice
throughout Bulgaria. The work is
being conducted under the auspices
Of the American Red Cross and 10 In
charge Of two American war nurses,
Miss Rachel c. Torrance and Miss
Theodore lie eros. Miss Torrance
has been doing. pioneer work in Bull
garia since 1914 and Miss lie Gros
has been engaged in the work in
Sofa about year.
The two nurses were assigned TO
the present work at the request OF
Ivan L. Gueshoff. president OF the
Bulgarian Red Cross. They have a
class of 90 student nurses, and one of
the visible results of their efforts Is
the elimination Of the hospital atmos-
phere from the Red Cross hospital,
which. as conducted by them. has be-
come a modern American institution
in almost every respect.
Miss Torrance and Miss lie Gros
are doing a great work for u.s." said
Mr.. Gueshoff recen''v. we want
hospitals conducted on the American
model despite all our poverty. The
only way to accomplish that is to get
American trained nurses. And these
noble women are enabling us TO do 1t,
thanks to the American Red Cross"

BELFAST
Indications Point
to Short Court Term

|. Associate Justice Guy IL. -Sturgis
of Portland will make his first off,
cial visit to Belfast since his ap-
pointment to the supreme bench and
will preside at the January term,
which conVenes at 10 o'clock Tues
day. While there are number of
cases on the criminal docket. APP
pealed from the lower court and
several bound over cases which will
be deliberated upon by tho grand
jury. the local attorneys beilevex that
it will be short term. At the
Waldo county Jail there are but two
bound over respondents Mrs. Ethel
Norton and Albert Burton, who were
arrested some weeks ago in Win
terport on statutory charge. The
complainant was Mrs. Norton's nus
band. With her at the jail is her
baby, which she took with her when
she left her husband in Portland
When apprehended Mrs. Norton and
Burton were working on a farm in
Winterport.
1t is hard to tell what the civil
docket will bring forth, for although
many of the attorneys have a large
number OF cases to enter or con-
tinued from last term, they do not
anticipate many or lengthy, jury
trials The term will undoubtedly
run over into next week, as it is
very rare that it is finished in one
week. although lit has happened.
Tn the county Jail at present there
are more inmates than for long
time--10 in all. Besides Mrs. Nor
ton and Burotn there are two
tramps, and six serving time, mostly
on rum cases.

TO Renew EFFORT
PU I SALVATION
ARMY APPEAL ON

A new canvass of the city will he
made by the local Salvation ARMY
corps to secure funds needed to q rrv
( on the work among the poor this
winter. This canvas will begin with
the distribution of envelopes this
afternoon and it is hoped that the
I people OF Augusta will respond more
freely than they did before.
Some time ago an appeal for 50, 900
Tor the Christmas dinner. for the re-
iief work during the winter and for
the general work OF the local corps
vas made. The entire city OF Au-
Susta gave but $500 toward this
worthy cause. Ensign Lawrence
| reefs that the people do not realize
the necessity of this money for
helping to feed and clothe the needy
| poor and for the other work which
the Salvation Army does in this city.
The Christmas dinners were given
OUT by the use OF much of that which
had been donated. A total of Is
baskets containing sufficient proyis-
ions for dinners for four hundred
people were given out before Christ
, mas day to worthy poor, who would
not Otherwise be ablo to have q
Christmas dinner. Each case was
: thoroughly investigated before the
dinner was given out.
In addition to this a large number
OF poor children were later present
ed with needed articles, such as
stockings, shoes. mittens and other
articles of clothing, small toys and
candy, at a Christmas tree which
| was held in Salvation Army hall the
Thursday after Christmas.
Now that Christmas dinners are
taken care of there are still many ap-
plications for relief which must be
investigated. Some have been look
ed up and temporary relief has been
given. but the work is now at a
standstill because OF the lack Of
funds with which to procure the nee
essary food and clothing.
The envelopes will be distributed
in various parts of the city on diff
fcrcnt days. They will be left by
this band OF tircless workers at
houses one day. and viii be collect
ed the next. The sum of $1,000 is
needed To carry the work through
until spring. Winter has been late
in coming and this has lessened the
need for help, but the snow has fall
en- and the suffering will soon be
more intense. so that the money Is
needed more now than before.

OAK Grove

/ The first week end OF the now
term at Oak Grove was decidedly
happy but also very short. for there
was full program of studies on
Saturday to make UP for last We'd
NJ sday. In the evening the dormi :
tory girls gave 4 most charming
party in honor Of Miss Isabel Schnei-
der Of Newark, \. j., who has been
the guest of her brother. Coach
Schneider of the faculty. The party
was an informal one and was held in
the dining room from eight until
ten. The school orchestra furnished
a variety of music for the games as
well as for the school songs that We're
sung heartily between the games.
Hot chocolate and fancy crackers
were served during the evening. Miss
Schneider has never lived in the
north and entered enthusiastically
into all the winter sports which the
weather afforded.
Prof Moses Bailey OF Wellesley
college was the guest of Oak Grove
over the weekend and preached an
inspiring New Years sermon in
Sophia Bailey Memorial chapel on
Sunday morning. Prof. Bailey also
spoke before a union Of the four
Bible school classes at Sunday
and helpful summary of the Bible
lessons of the last quarter. At the
business meeting Of the Sunday
school. Walter Vain was elected
treasurer for the ensuing year.
The regular Y. NJ. c. A. meeting on
Sunday evening was led by Prfn.
owen and was an excellent service
with a large attendance.
The Y. w. c. A. meeting was a
New Years one and was led by Miss
Jcrmers of the faculty who had de-
lightful message.
The new term was started OFF with
keen competition among the seniors
to see who should get their chapel
addresses delivered first. The very
first morning marked the beginning
and four seniors have already ac-
quilted themselves with honor. Each
winter term, the seniors deliver n
epeech before the entire school,
while the members of the junior class
must each write and read an ls-hun-
dred word essay. There 10 always
some jolly competition to see which
class shall get it over first. This
year the senior class is far in ad-
vance as none OF the juniors have
yet appeared. The speeches which
have been well delivered and de-
cidedly interesting. have been as
follows: Gilbert Muir. The Wooden
Industry: Stanley Tanner. The Re-
iigions OF Japan; Thomas Ballard,
The Grand Canyon; and Margaret
Ryder, a Master Electrician.
