 Burglarizing Stores

Three boys about fS years of age were apprehended by the police last night and the arrest of several more is expected as result Of admls- sions which solved Q number of burglaries that have been made in the city recently. The boys are re- ported to have admitted entering the furniture store of John A. Andrews at 6 Main street Saturday night by breaking the glass in a rear door and unfastening 1t from the inside. The store was ransacked but nothing taken. The boys also entered the auto and bicycle supply store at 4 Chestnut street conducted by T. H. cogswell, but failed to take any thing.
 The police are of the opinion that the apprehension of the boys will solve the entrances that were re- ported to have been made at the homes of the late Dr. George Cooley on West Main street, and that of William Koyeyman of Hillcrest avenue.' who Is spending the winter in Florida. The breaks into these two houses were reported to the police yesterday and investigation showed that entrance had been gained by windows, but nothing had been taken.

TRANSMITTING CAR
i OBJECT OF WONDER

WGMU, the broadcaster Of Rich
mond Hill, Long Island, went TO sea
the other night. Twas only a six
mile sail out to Oak Island where the
transmitting car put a concert on the
air for the Oak Island Yacht Club.
Oak Island is one of a group off the
town Of Babylon, which is on the
ocean side of Long Island. No auto
mobile has ever visited this little fish
ing port and summer resort conse-
quently the big touring car which con-
tains a broadcast station was a double
header sensation. The WGMU re-
quired a barge and a tug to make the
sea trip. The program radiated by the
mobile station on a wave length Of
23G meters contained a number Of well
known radio stars and Glenn G.
Smiths dance orchestra. The marine
broadcaster WRAIU was detained off
The Maine coast and the Grebe folks
were compelled to fill the sea going

RADIO WIRE FINE
AS INFANTS HAIR

Wire of many sizes is used in the
manufacture of radio receivers. The
smallest size wire is as fine as 2
baby's hair, while the largest is used
to guy the massive radio towers used
BY super-power broadcasting stations.
Enough of the fine wire or No. ~,
as il is known in the laboratory, IS
used in one day on the bobbins in the
Crosley Alusicones to reach dis
lance Of ia miles. This is taken from
the figures Of a production of 5OOO
wound bobbins a day-two bobbins
are used in each reproducing instru-
ment.
The wire used daily in the Cincin-
natl radio plant for this type Of work
would reach from there TO New YORK
City with a lot left over. There Is
enough wire in each bobbin, il stretch
ed out, to reach from the ground 10
the top of the Woolwodth building.
In 50 days production, there IS
enough wire used 20 reach from the
North Pole to the South Pole. 1t is so
fine that it could be woven into a
dress and worn by the most fastidious
happer. 100
Each Of the bobbins require $500
turns Of wire. 1t is wound with an
especially designed automatic machine
and each producing element requires
two-seyenths Of mile OF wire. IL
takes but one-haf minute to wind
each bobbin.

WIRELESS MAKES
LIFE DIFFERENT
IN FAR NORTHWEST

It is difficult TO visualize what radio
means TO those on the prairies Of the
great Northwest in the winter time.
The following letter from Eyre, Sas-
katchewan, however, is but one of sew
eral of that type and from that same
locality.
I'VE greatly enjoy the Wednesday
evening organ recital, and are OF the
opinion that 1t is the best thing We
get, as il comes through so clearly
the organ might be in the next room.
Sitting out here on the snowbound
prairies fifteen miles from even a
small town, and nearly two from any
neighbor, the radio has made life a
completely different thing; now we
can listen to some Of those things that
instruct as well as give enjoyment,
and intellectual pleasures that are a
mere memory Of the days of long
ago, are placed within our reach; our
children, too, will have the influence
of good music, cultured speeches, and
lectures, which otherwise they evuIn
never have heard here at all. Our set
is newly installed, and we are so hun
CRY for these pleasures for which our
minds have been starved so long, that
we rarely 20 to bed till the air viii
yield nothing more.
But Of all that we can obtain from
IL, we prefer the organ recitals and
that of Minneapolis, the best Of all
We would be grateful If we might
have rendered "Pomp and Circum-
stance" March by Sir z. Elgar; we
have not heard it since we left Eng
land, nearly twenty years ago; at least
not on the organ. We shall be listen

as often as the organ plays; six Of

country soldiers Of the Second Signal
Company came TO join the Second Di-
vision at Fort Sam Houston, radio has
made it possible for them to listen
to concerts that are given near the
place they still call home.
A radio set capable Of reproducing
programs in all parts Of this coun-
try, Mexico and Canada has been pur-
chased by the company and placed in
the recreation room for the entertain
ment of members of the organisation.

IN Newark, n. J., can join Private
Clyde A. Simpson of San Antonio in
listening to a local concert and then
tune in on his home town station and
give the latter a chance to hear the
New Jersey brand of music.
The signal company occupies three
bsrrack buildings, and the soldiers ex-
pect to place loud speakers in each
during the winter. Then the one set
will serve the entire organization with
out the necessity Of crowding into one,
room.
An the men in the organization are
trained in the use Of radio, and sew
