QUITS
AFTER DEFEATING
SCHOOL MEASURE
Members Hurry Off To Their
Homes When GaveI Tap Ends
Session.
LEVY COURT MEASURE
President Pro Tenn Truitt Made
Last Minute Effort To Have Five
Member Body Passed.

After having been in session since
January 9th, the Tooth session of the
General Assembly came to close
last Thursday afternoon, after the
Senate had killed the school build
ing program.
The hands of the clock in the Sen
ate chamber pointed to 5:26 o'clock
as President Pro TEN Truitt of the
upper branch of the legislature let
his gavel fall for the last time and
declared the session adjourned sine
die. 1t was Thursday, April Is. at
| 5:26 O'Clock by the calendar and the
time piece but officially it was still
Friday, April 10, and the hour was
still 1870 o'clock at night for that
was the date and the time at which
both the Senate and House had Off
cially fixed by resolution for final
adjournment and for all legislative
purposes the law makers were six
days behind time. The time inter- |
vening was considered only as a re-
cess and the days did not count as
legislative days.
It was $40 o'clock when Speaker
Downward in the House raped his
gaVel and declared the session Off
cially at an end. Immediately in both
Houses there was a rush by the
members to get to their homes. They
took time enough to say farewell to
those with whom they have been as
ISOLATED for the last three and one
half months for, during that period.
there have sprung up bonds of

the many differences that have aris-

stormy session the spirit of COM
radeship has grown stronger day by

inc regret when the time came to
say the final goodbye,

PEPCO WILL HELP
RADIO FANS HERE
Real Instances of Interfer-
ence Caused by Its Wires
to Be ReCtified.

The Potomac Electric Power Co. is
prepared to go along with users of
radio sets in eliminating interference
caused by power losses in it's con-
duits and wires.
The company, through II. c. Hoover,
one of its engineers, declared today
that complaints by radio users which
can be legitimately laid at the door
of interference caused by leaky high
tension lines, bad transformer con-
nections or other losses in transmits
sion of high power electric current
on its lines will be handled ex-
peditiously and every consideration
given to radio fans who in most
cases are also users Of e!ectrcic cur
rent furnished by the company.
Wants Care in Complaining.
This does not mean, Mr.. Hoover
said, that the company is to be i'm
mediately deluged with a mass Of
complaints which cannot rightfully
he laid at the door OF the electric
company, but does mean that the
company is glad to get reports of
leaky power lines which can be re-
paired TO its own benefit and at the
same time will aid radio users in
obtaining more perfect reception. The
company wants TO take care of
merited complaints. but wants assur-
ance that the complaint is due to
power losses before spending time in
an exhaustive investigation of its
lines.
One case in point may be cited as
an example OF the facility with which
the company answers complaints A
user of power Twins in lexington
suddenly found interference in his
radio set which "a radio e$gineer pro-
nounced to be due to a lea%y power

This was regarded as a legitimate

is an aggravated and continuous one,

Capt. Mclean Does Not Expect ANY
Sensational Developments
During 1925.

Phenomenal developments in radio
are not looked for during 1925 by
Capt Ridley Mclean, director of
naval communications. \ prophetic
statement on radio issued by Capt.
Mclean says:
"The period of one year is too
short time to bring into general
use in communications eVen hose
devices which have already passed
the experimental laboratory stage.
For that reason nothing phenomenal
must be expected during the new
year, but. rather, the perfection and
extension of use of Improvements
already known.
Recent accomplishments seem 10
Justify the hope that during the com
ing year long-diStance communication
by short wave and low power will
come into extensive commercial use;
the replacement of certain low-power
arc sets by high-power tube sets for
transcontinentaI and transoceanic
traffic, with consequent reduction of
operating costs and interference; re-
placement of many spark sets by
low-power tube sets. with consequent
reduction of interference: increased
use of remote radio control of trans
mitters in lieu of wire control: more
extensive employment of automatic
radio transmitters and receivers re-
placing manual operation and devel-
opment of the use of the radio COM
pass in forecasting electrical storms
THE commercial use of radio pho
Biography may he expected to increase
and even the experimental develop
ment of radio vision seems not too
optimistic.
Improvement in broadcasting serv-
ice seems probable, this because of
the increased use Of intercommuni-
cation between broadcasting stations
and the probable installation of high
power apparatus. These improve
ments should insure higher-class pro-
grams and reduction Of interference
between stations, resulting from the
reduction of the number of stations
in the given localities"
