a similar manner.
If the aerial Is connected with one
terminal of a phone plug and the
ground is connected with the other
terminal. and the plug is inserted into
the Jack nearest the aerial and ground
installation. receiver with phone
plug connected with its aerial and

Loud Speaker Can Be Used.

aerial receivers, the output or plate

plug into one Of the jacks will make
it possible to connect a loud speaker
into any of the other jacks of the
system.
II it is desired to move such a
receiver to the room where music Is
desired. a plug can be connected with

cellar or some closet, so that plugging
makes II possible to connect the A
battery terminals of the set with the
storage battery by connecting the
terminals OF a plug with the battery
terminals of the set and inserting the
plug into the receptacle plug.
Three Sets of Jacks Needed.
A really complete radio installation
would include three sets Of jack sys-
TENS. Such a wiring scheme would
permit the use of the set in any room
without the necessity of carrying
either A or B batteries around. The
aerial and ground connections could
be made to the system at the most
convenient place; the batteries could
be placed in the cellar or in some out

MISSISSIPPI SEEKS
SAN ANTONIO LABOR

The farflung reputation of San An
tonic as a bountiful labor supply de-
pot has reached the state of Missis-
sippi, whence came request for 1000
cotton pickers Thursday. ~ r..
Il. X. Goss, superintendent of the
United tates Labor Department Blu
reau here, received a letter from a
Mississippi farm organization asking
for 5000 persons to help pick cotton
in that state. The crop is abundant
and much will be ruined if pickerS
are not obtained, the letter says.
The local labor bureau was unable
to supply pickers for Mississippi, be-
cause of recent inroads made on the
labor supply here by Louisiana
farmers.
About 5000 cotton pickers have been
sent from here to Louisiana, Mr..
Goss said, and from 100 to 300 a day
still are being sent there, he added.

TECH HALL OF FAME
SELECTIONS SCORED
By the Associated Press.

GOLDTHWAITE, Tex, Sept. g.
Had it been his task to name the five
greatest Americans of all time, he
would not have crossed to the north of
the Mason and Dixon line, Lon A.
Smith, Texas railroad commissioner
and state commander Of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans, said here today
at a Confederate Veterans reunion, in
discussing the protests that have
arisen over the placing of medallion
of Abraham Lincoln as one of the five
greatest Americans in a hall of Texas
chronological College at Lubbock.
Mr.. Smith dcplorcd the fact that
jefferson Davis had not been honOre1
as one of the greatest of Americans
by officials ut Texas Tech. In the
brilliant galaxy of the South's great
men, | would not dare. say who was
greatest. but the name of jefferson
Davis, that brave soldier. great states
man, forceful orator, splendid gentle
man, consccrated Christian and prcsi-
dent of the Confcderacy, would take
exalted rank" he said.

and engage a formidable challenger a
few nights later with equal facility, is
in town to talk business about battling
Jimmy Slattery at the Polo Grounds

Nobody but Greb would talk about
fighting tall, rangy fellow like Stat
terry in defense of middleweight
championship worth many thousands
of dollars so soon after an automo-
bile accident that came close to prov
ing fatal. But Greb is Greb. He
is out after the money and fears no.
body, big or little.
Harry was badly jammed up in an
auto collision in Pittsburgha But he
bounced out of a hospitaE bed ten
days later and hit Broadway today,
little the worse for the crash, ex-
cept for a cut over his right eye.

actly, positively, absolutely on, but
