said DIR. De Forest, America Is much
turther advanced than any 81 the
European nations. none Of which
seems to have the ability to offer what
Is known here as well baia need
program. Considering the fact that
the listeners are taxed, this Is sur
prlsins. But as radio in Europe Is
still in it's infant stages in this regard.
[ am Of the opinion that it is only a
matter Of time and adjustment to

Tubes vs.. Results Shown.
How many tubes are necessary in a
radio set Is question frequently
asked. To get the answer to this and
other questions, a Milwaukee news
paper made survey of the so-called
Great Milwaukee radio market. The
answers to the questionnaires used
showed that IS per cent of ell the
radio sets owned In the city were
three.tube sets.
Commenting on this, Powell Crosley.
Jr., owner of station WLW. in Gin.
cinnati. says: The public Is gradually
beginning to comprehend that the
number of tubes in a set has nothing
to do with IlIe results obtained. Bet.
ter results may be- obtained with q
one-tube set than a fve-tube, depend.
ing. Of course. upon the circuit.
The comparison has been dra wn be-
tween radio and motor cars. 1t has
been said that originally automobiles

followed the four, six, twin six and
hnally the eight. There are those
who contend that the eight is the Ia ST
word in motor construction, There
are those. Of course. who disa gree
But the point is made that as tn.
motor car advanced the number of
cylinders increased. But that has
nothing to do with radio. Some ma n.
ufacturers, to be sure, kept adding
tubes and tubes. and hoped that the
public would believe that bv increa 9.
ing the number of tubes better re.
suits would be obtained. But 1t is NOT
necessarily true. There are sets to.
day which have but three tubes. and
do the work of six. There are single
| tube sets so constructed that they dc
the work OF three.
The smaller tube sets are still in
the great majority, not only because
they are more economical, but also be.
cause the results are satisfactory."

the Phoenix Federation a fixture in
the community. These women who
have so freely given of their knowl-
edge and experience are always glad
to welcome a stranger. They would
love to have more women of the state
join forces with them, to exchange
ideas, to aid the poor, minister to the
sick, help old and young. Awake and
turn your faces to meet a new day.
There are the following clubs to pick
from should anyone desire to become

Report Great Progress

The Arizona Federation of Colored
Women's Clubs has been and is recog
nized as one of the very important
bodies of the southwest. 1t was or
ganized in 1915 and in the same year
was Incorporated. Ella S. White be-
ing leader in the movement to organ
inze and do a recognized work. Soon
after the organization Mrs. White
moved to California leaving her first
vice, Jessie James to carry the work
along, and finish her unexpired term
as president. Lynn Ross Carter was
then elected president and for five
years held this office. Jessie James
was elected in 1922 and is still leading
this organization on to greater things.
Phoenix tribune., 1925-12-19

The organization belongs to the Ma
tional Federation of Colored Women,
which embraces all state federations
and to the recently organized sectional
federation known as the Southwestern
which was organized in Cheyenne,
Wyoming in July. Our state presi-
dent was elected secretary for the
Southwestern Federation which en-
braces Utah, Nevada, Arizona and
New Mexico There are state chair
mans appointed by our national presi-
dent to represent the state in every
department of the National, thus
keeping the women over the state in
direct touch with the National. Space
does not permit the naming of these
chairmans Mrs. Phoebe Gardiner has
the distinction Of being national chair
man for kindergarten work. There is
much cerditable work done by this
band of women and the many things
accomplished since the organization
of that little band of women in 1915
one can't but believe they are Grow
ing, Not Drifting"
There is one club that deserves
special mention and to not favor any
particular club in the city will give
a brief personal history of the Will
ing Workers Club of Flagstaff. Or
ganized in January, 1915, with eight
members. It's object is to cultivate a
spirit of Christian benevo1ence, and
raise moneys for Christian work. This
club furnished the parsonage of the
church and pays a number of debts.
The president, Mrs. w. L. Horne is
a Christian woman of wonderful per-
sonality, as, is the secretary, Mrs.
Dorothy Taylor. Mrs. M. E. Davis
member of this club, is state chaplain
anh held in the highest esteem by all.
Willing Workers" is easily appli-
cable to each member and they are
marching on to victory.
The Phoenix Federation was or
ganized and incorporated in 1920.
Much work has been accomplished
through this organization and the pro-
gram for the future means much to
the race. 1t is the earnest desire of
the ladies to have a Community Cen
