 ''Sincs the earliest days laughter. and gaiety have been the most desirable things in life. In ancient times stately rulers unbent; courtly knights forgot seriousness; beautiful ladies became more alluring as the clever quips and merry pranks of the court jester brought a sparkle to their eyes and drove dull care away. K
 But they were limited to the clown: ish antics and slapstick comedy of the jester.
 we of modern times have unlimited sources of amusement. Every broad casting station has it's jester; it's hu- inorous stories, amusing songs and clever comedies. Every night the air is filled with merriment. With a Crosley radio receiver, amusement may be brought clearly and distinctly to you while you are sitting comfortably in your own home.

BIG DEMAND IN

Atwatef-kent Factory, On Twenty-Folr Hour
 Basis

PHILADELPHIA Pa, Nov: 222-+@ The. present, 'l1ealthy condition. ofs the radio business is an interesting contrast to what was considered t6 be. the out look four years ago, when btoadca sting first began. Then it was predicted that radio, was merely fad which would quickly run its course and take its place in history with all other .fads. But today, the invisible, audience" ip this country is, estimated at. 5,QQO,QO0 persons; quarter of million persons are connected with the .fndbstry itself and last year a total, radio business ap- proximating $115.OO0,000 was done in this country alone. . |, Further proof that public interest in radio. is. even greater. this, year than it was last is. seen in the ,aIinouIiceihspt of the Atwater Kent Mahafactpgriingg company, of this city, that, It has. been necessaty to inaugurate q, 145hour ,wofk. ing schedule in an effort, to cAtch hp with the demand for receiving Sets and loud speakers, :. .,.. |. .-..,,...... ,. ss
 The announcement is a :. partfcnlaf significance in view of. the fact that Atwater Kent is occupying | new fac tory, completed only last spring, which. is said to be the largest plant in this country. devoted exclusively to radio manufacture. It. covers 10 gacres and has 4l6,00O square feet of floor space.
 The building. one story in height, was. designed to afford daylight flu mination for the workers. but so great has been the volume of orders that factory output has fallen far behind, and it was decided to resort to night work. and some departments have been running without cessation night and day. with the workers On three shifts of eight hours each.

YESTERDAY AND

Indians Had Wireless Long Before White

Back in the old days, when the west was west and when the Indians claimed sole possession to the entire country brSspeetefs were sihszed At the rSpfaits with which the sayages learned, of theii ffesehce. The advaftce of the wagon train was known days before it aarriyed

 And all of. it was due simply to, thu efficient signal codes used by the Red men. From the mountain tops the sig. nal fires blased their messages at nigh, and during the day smoke in wrsaths columns or puffs carried the stories faI and wide.
 But gone are Signal fires and scat tered are the tribes, and today the westerntf ih the most remote places re ceives his riessages By radio-the mod ern method of communication. Truly the development of wireless has. been remarkable and it is interesting to pause a moment and consider the differences between the means used by the Indians in spreading messages of hate and those used by the inhabitants of the present west in circulating the gospel of good fellowship.
 Out in Durago, Colo, there is a radio dealer, George l.. McQuown. known far and wide as "The Radio Man." He has prepared a message to ali western CTS in which he tells of the great changes in the methods of communication during the past few years and points out the ndtAntases derived by those who own radio receiving sets. McQaown is .a loyal Cfosley booster and believes there is no radio that can Be compared with Crosles.

Battery Briefs

Just few precautions must be taken in order to prevent trouble. Here are some 6f them:
 Never add sudphuric acid to a bat tery, above the tops of the plates.
 Place glass tray under. the battery to catch b6bblinE electrolyte.
 Charge the bAttery to Its capAeity before putting 1t away fof any time.
 See that the voltage of the chafgihg device is higher than that of the Dat tery. 4,u
 The charging rate in ainpkfes is mat cated on the battery plate. Never ex- ceed this rate.
 Always keep the battery solution as this does not evaporate and need not be replenished.
 Never allow any kind of water other than the chemically pure variety to be put in the battery.
 Place the battery on frequent charge, father than allowing 1t to go near the danger point of discharge. Never draw excessive current or charge at too high, a rate, as this. will cause the plates to become distorted and will ruin the battery.

 A scratchy noise is sometimes due to corrosion in the joints.
 An indoor aerial and a crystal de- tectof do not go well together, makes the best e6hheetion.
 For best results, an indoor antenna should be as long and as high as pos sible.

PARTY CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK
BY HARRY N. WINlTSKY, Campaign MANAGER.

THE task Of placing the Workers
L Party ticket on the ballot in the
state of New York is a tremendous
one. New York is probably the worst
state in the union in which to place
new party ticket on the ballot. In
order to put the presidential and vice.
presidential electors on the ballot in
New York must have As electors,
one from each Of the AZ congressional
districts and two at-large from the
state, which is a very difficult task.
This, however, has already been &C.
complished in New York and the
nomination petitions will be ready
within a few days for circulation.
Need $1,000 Signatures.
In order to have the Workers Party
become an Official party in this state,
the laws of New York require at least
10000 signatures on a nominating Pc
tition for the national and state
tickets. There are 81 counties in the
state and the law further REQUIRES us
to procure at least so signatures of
citizens in each and every county in
the state. In order to make sure that
we go on the ballot we must have at
least $50 signatures in each county or
approximately $4,000 signatures thru
out the entire state OF New York.
II we should fall below the required
number OF signatures in any one
county, then the entire ticket is
thrown off the. ballot and we are dis.
qualified. The petitions for the ma
tional and state tickets have already
been printed but before we can begin
to collect signatures we must have
our petitions for the local candidates
In New York City. These will most
probably be ready In few days.
In addition TO the $4,000 signatures
needed turnout the state for our ma.
tional and state tickets, we must also
In addition procure 1900 signatures in
each congressional and senatorial dis
trict In which we run a candidate, and
B per cent OF the total votes cast in
each assembly district in which we
intend running candidates.
Need Psrty's Full Strength.
This is a tremendous task and un-
less all members Of the party in this
state get into line and become active
ly engaged in securing these sigma
lures, there is the danger that we
may not go on the ballot this year.
This year above all others, It is i'm.
portant that we 20 on the ballot.
