EASTERN HIGH NINE
GAINS SCHOOL TITLE

While two clashes with Western
still remain to be played. Eastern yes
terday clinched the high school base
ball championship when Business was
defeated, IL to 2, giving the Lincoln
Parkers a record of six straight VIC
tories in as many starts.
Capt. Sunny Burdine, F,astern's star
hurler, again was the hero of the day.
He allowed the Stenographers but four
hits during his seven innings on the
mound and led his team at bat with
a pair of home runs. both of which
were drives over the center field fence,
and a single.
F'rager took up the burden when the
Eastern captain developed a sore arm
after putting the game on ice. Ma
rosey and Shreve performed in the box
for Business, the former going seven
frames.
Track and field teams of the five
public high schools are competing at
District championship.

Through The Static

Radio pulled another boner last night and handed out a variety of satic which was nearly as bad as what we received the night before. It's a pity, too, because stations came in with unusual volume. Some of them, like WIZ, WGY and a few others hurdled the noise and reached LIS, but, as a rule the broadcast came In badly jumbled and punctuated with thunderous growls.
 
 Late afternoon programs are be- coming more the rage with broad casters and the program directors are beginning to take more pains with the programs they hand out. It wasn't so long ago that the an- nouncers placed photographs in front Of the microphone and let lem rip. Fans don't care for that brand of stuff any more and the afternoon programs must be right up to the minute, just as the evening offerings are supposed to be,
 WSAD at Providence was on the air yesterday afternoon shortly be- | fore 5 o'clock. An instrumental trio ! presented several excellent selections, among them No Wonder" the well known fox trot, Several other dance numbers were rendered in the course of the program and, as usual, the afternoon reception was not marred by static or any other dis , turbance. Charles B. Wagner, tenor, presented For You Alone" as part of the same pl plogram.
 After hearing a part Of the mar ket reports from WIZ we signed off until o'clock. And oh, how the old place had changed. There was

RADIO NEWS NOTES

During the broadcasting of pro- gram of dance music from the studio of VICES, New York. between 1880 and 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon of March 2l, Philip Silverson, commer- cial aviator, who was flying over New York, listened to the Glmbel BrSh- CTS station at three different alti- tudes. He was experimenting in the receiving of messages from another plane, listening in with a 4-tube re- ceiver, and first picked up VICES at an altitude Of 2,0O0 feet, then again at 5000 feet and later at 10000 feet. The VICES program was the only one he heard and was the first radio station he has picked up in that vii cinity.
 The Harmonica band Of Junior High school No. 61, New York city, will be heard from WNYC on Fri day evening, April 3, at S:S0 o'clock. The band is composed of 20 boys from the school and unique pro- gram will be presented. The young musicians do not use the ordinary back-alley harmonica, but play on instruments known as chromatic harmonicas which permit them to play the chromatic scale and all full and half tones in music written in any key. The boys are well trained and the band is supported by piano, traps and drums, violin and accor- dion. The ages average l5 years. Two selections on the program, which are particularly worth of note, con- sidering the instruments used, will be Schubert's "Screnade" and Qui's "Orientale."
 The worlds greatest knight of the worries, Paderewski, performed be- fore the mike" at FLO, London, re- gently. Pianists who tell the world that they are too good to play for any broadcasting station should take special note of that fact.

This group started one medley with Roses of Picardy," going right down the line and including operatic selections, dance selections. ballads, "blues' songs and something else. The num- Der lasted for about l5 minutes and we lasted for but a few minutes longer. ....s ."
 That's all we heard last night, II reception is not better tonight, we're going to bed at ! o'clock and dream about superhne programs, in which no static enters and where we can bring in KGo, 2LO and others by a mere twist of the dial.

VICES pre- scented It's daily bedtime story, WNAC had a bedtime story or Boy Scout program or something,
 We heard part of an interesting lecture from WIZ in the course of the evening, The title of 1t was Mans Place in Nature" and was given as a part of the air college program. It was not possible to get interested in the talk as ones mind was continually sent off the track by the many noises which accompanied the talk. But we geaned from the part of the talk we heard that the lecturer was showing how each ani- nal is peculiarly fitted for Its place. The speaker showed the equipment with which each animal is provided In order to eke out an existence. We should have enjoyed hearing the en- tire lecture on quiet night.
 The Remington Typewriter band from WGY presented one of the best programs we have heard. Perhaps we enjoyed 1t more because that sta- ton was one of the few that came in unaccompanied by the sound of a busy day in an engine roundhouse, but, at any rate, we heard several selections, none of which were fa- miliar, enjoying each one of them. Finally soprano sang that Indian love song By the Waters of Mime : tonka" accompanied by the band, The announcement should have been ' to the effect that the selection would !, be by the band, accompanied by 8 soprano. Her voice was not loud and 1t took on a quality Of shrilness which made 1t seem small In propor- tion 10 the majestic accompaniment = which welled out of the loud speak. CT.
 Following the broadcast by the band the scene was changed to tho Ten Eyck hotel. Albany, where { program by the Union college must cal clubs was presented. This pro gram was refreshing and the blend ed voices created a harmony pleas ant to hear.
 WTIC presented an organ recital the numbers being strangers to us although they were enjoyed. The or gan tones were reproduced in al their fullness, furnishing broadcas of worth. If there's anything W don't like to hear it Is the sound o a weak, puny organ, pumping ava, and striving vainly 10 make itsel heard.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OF CAR REPAYS CARE
Should Be Overhauled at Approach
of Winter, When It Is Most
Heavily Taxed.

A motorists prepara tons r~Nin-
ter should include special attention to
the electrical equipment of his car.
according to Oscar Coolican, president
of the Packard Washington Motor
Car Co.
Every automobile owner should at
this time of the year give particular
attention to the electrical equipment
of his car TO avoid trouble during the
Winter" SAYS Mr.. Coolican. During
cold weather the electrical system has
it's hardest work of the whole year.
The great ma jority of all electrical
trouble on a motor car is caused by
lack of inspection and care. Genera
tors seldom burn out through defects
of the units themselves. Difficulty us
ually is due to loose or dirty connec-
tionS at contacts. such as the battery
terminals. the ammeter and the juno
tion box. This puts additional resist.
ance in the generator circuit, which in
turn causes the generator to overlos d
in order to overcome this added volt
age. This not only causes generator
trouble buf It results in ignition points
and headlights burning out, and in
some cases Injuries the wiring Of the
car.
The automobile owner who will see
at this time of the year that his car
has a complete electrical inspection
and that all wire and cable connec-
tions are cleaned and tightened may
save himself considerable trouble dur.
ing the rest of the Winter" ..

ency to throw YOU off the seat, you
want control of the springs. Some
devices on the market aim to give
both features but this is a little too
near the ideal. The best plan is to put
cushioning devices on cars that are
heavy and large enough to hold the
road. saving the control devices for
the lighter cars.
Various Types Of Devices.
Among the cushioning devices.
there are air springs and hydraulic
shock absorbers. In the spring control
devices, there are the snubbing stabi.
lating and stabilizing products. Air
springs really give the effect of lower
tire initiation. They make. the road
seem further removed from the seat
cushions. Generally speaking. they
are more Satisfa ctory on heavy cars
which are built TO hold the road but
which normally do not 40 so without
jarrinc the occupants.
HYDRA ulic devices are more salts
factory with cars of medium weight
because they are nearer the type of
spring control devices than they are
to straight shock absorbers. In this
class also comes the friction type of
control. which simply provides for in.
creased resistance to the springs mo-
ton as the spring is expanded or com
pressed from its normal position.
Usually these devices work both ways,
SO that they ease the shock when the
car goes over. a hump as well as when
it goes into hole. That is, they ease
what is known as the elevation as well
as the recoil. of the spring the
bounding effect.
How Work Is Done.
SnubberS and Stabilators work on
the rebound. The elevation often is
more iarring than with the two-waN V
devices. but they are capable Of hold
ing a car steadier for more severe re,
coils. Oddly enough, snubbers and
Stabilators. work on exactly reversed
principles. The former Snub. thereby
checking the fight of The body Of the
car after ii has been tossed into the
air. In Stahiliza tion. the recoil force is
opposed from the beginning of the re
coil movement. These latter devices
are brakes on The springs. The more
the spring is compressed, the more
effective the brake becomes.
StabiIizer Described.
A sta bilizer is the name given to
a device that makes the springs act as
their own recoil check. They are par
ticularIv successful on some of the
lighter cars with long rear springs :
| warned Smith against selecting
any recoil device because it made the
car ride well at high speed, since eN-
perience shows that any of these de
vices works more effectively the
faster the car goes. Many cars with
out any spring controls at all wouiu
tide better if driven faster. but the
owners are afraid of being tossed
Finally. | suggested TO Smith that
he select type of device best sui, ed
To the sort of streets and roads over
which he usually travels. One can
make Just as big mistake in select
ing these devices as in selecting car.
