 Evening of Thrills

Monday evening was the season basket ball opener for the Putnam State Trade school and the Mechanics vile Athletic Association quintets And 1t was a fitting first performance of the two teams. as they played each other Co a standstill that ended in a tie. This necessitated overtime work and during the extra minutes the Trade School aggregation nosed out by three points and copped the game by 25 to % score.
 The Nj. A. 4. showed weakness in passing. but the team gives evidence of strong possibilities after more practice in team work. The Trade school outfit is the strongest in some years. and a successful season is looked ! forward to.

CUSTOMER Of
JAPAN
Nippon Foreign Trade In
creases Materially During
First Quarter of Year

Japan's foreign trade increased
materially during the first quarter
of the year, according to statistics
by the Department of Commerce.
The boost was due to heavily in
creased sales of Japanese ~commodi-
ties abroad, and the usual I'M
favorable balance of trade fell with
a decrease of Japanese buying from
foreign nations.
Forty-one per cent of exports
from Japan went to the United
States, which maintained its position
as the principal foreign destina-
ton for Japanese made goods.
On the other hand United States
sold per cent less goods to Japan
during the first three months Of
the year than in the same period
of 1924. This is due, no doubt, to
abnormally heavy buying by Japan
following the earthquake.
Import losses from Europe were
more pronounced than the declines
from United States. Imports from
Europe were cut 10 per cent, the
largest individual fall being noted
for arrivals from Germany, which
dropped about 10 per cent. France
was the only important European
country which succeeded in increas-
ing its shipments during the 1925
quarter, according to H. A. Butts,
OF the far eastern division of the
department.

CRYSTAL To END
INTERFERENCE
ON RADIO
Westinghouse inventor Finds
Way to Hold Stations to
Own Wave Length
By CARL L. TURNER
International News Service

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 3.-Another
step forward in the development OF
radio broadcasting was announced
today at KDKA, the Westinghouse
station.
Through the perfection Of de-
vice intended to keep radlocastlng
stations on their assigned wave
length, KDKA. engineers hope TO
strike a crushing blow at one OF
the principal sources of radio inter
ference.
The device automatically holds
q station constantly to a certain
fixed frequency, or wave length,
much in the same manner as pal
ance wheel dictates the speed OF
q watch, or the governor regulates
the revolutions Of steam engine.
Consisting Of crystal, ground to
n prescribed size and general form,
the instrument is placed In spe-
ciaIly designed transmitting circuit.
Size and shape Of the crystal gov
ern the wave length and hold IL
constant, and the only way to
change it is to replace the crystal,
or grind it to another size.
Experiments Succeed
Experiments with the crystal
have been conducted for several
months at the w
Tests are said to have demon
strated that it can be relied upon
to control the wave length. Inven-
ton of the instrument is credited
To a KDKA engineer, who. working
on the theory that crystals have
the power of vibrating at frequen-
cfes in the radio range. discovered
that their size and shape govern
the crystals vibrating frequency.
So convinced are KDKA engi-
neers that the new method of regu-
lating wave lengths will prove q
practical success, that III. p. Davis,
vice president of the Westinghouse
Company. announced that the
KDKA regular 309-meter set, as
well as the other Westinghouse sta
tions. WIZ Springfield; XIV.
Chicago, and xxx. Hastings,
Neb.. viii be equipped with the
crystal.
Although in the simple, broadly
tuned, receiving set shift in wave
length is scarcely noticeable, with
the sharply tuned sets now on the
market, the greatest source Of IN
reference is the station that is
off its assigned frequency.
Margin Is Narrow
As the station wave lengths are
separated by only ten kilocycles, it
10 a serious matter when a trans
hitting station changes its wave
length even as little as two
kilocycles. If shift of more than |
two kilocycles occur, according to |
KDKA engineers. there is a whis |
Ting noise heard in the receiving |
set and signals from two stations |
are jumbled together SO that |
neither can be heard distinctly.
Heretofore, this shifting Of fire. |
quency has been difficult to pre-
vent, it is said, as it might be
caused by such seemingly trivial
things as the sagging of an an
tenna and a variation of the
amount of current used in the
transmitter.
KDKA uses a crystal in its trans
hitting set about the size of a
half dollar.

IDEAL HOME PART
OF EDUCATION PLAN
House in Nearby Virginia Will
Demonstrate Best PraC-
tees in Construction.

The Home Economics Association of
the District is preparing a demonstra-
ton home in nearby Virginia, which
will be completely furnished and
equipped and opened for inspection
during Better Homes week. On each
day during that week a committee OF
hostesses. under the leadership OF
Mrs. r. w. Leukel. will be present at
the house to explain its features to
visitors.
Planting of the home grounds is
considered an important part OF the
home, and in the demonstration being
planned here that feature is receiving
special attention. The plan for beau
tifying the grounds was prepared by
F. l.. milford. landscape gardener,
office of horticulture, Department OF
Agriculture. and the planting is being
done under his supervision. His bull
letins entitled "Beautifying the Farm
stead" Roses for the Home" and
"Herbaceous Perennials," published
by the Department of Agriculture, are
extensively used as guides. He is also
joint author of Department of Agrl-
culture bulletin Growing Annual
Flowering Plants" which has received
wide distribution.
Programs in Schools.
During Better Homes week special
programs will be held in Junior and
normal high schools of the District
and surrounding communities. The
Girl Scouts Home Sweet Home"
house. which was dedicated by the
late President Harding during Better
Homes week in 1928. will be opened
during that week, and demonstrations
of housekeeping. child care and first
aid nursing will be given by the Girl
Scouts. This house. which is
replica of the John Howard Payne
home on Long Island, which inspired
the writing of Home Sweet Home"
was presented to the Girl Scouts and
is now used by the national OrganiZa
ton as a training home for Girl Scout
leaders.
A special series of radio talks from
station WCAP has marked the educa-
tional program for better homes.
During this series DR.. Louise Stanley.

les of the Department of Agriculture,

Large Increase in
Dodge Brothers Sales

Dodge Brothers remarkable in
crease in production and sales con-
tinues without interruption, an Off
cial statement from the factory dis
closes.
Actual retail deliveries by dealers
during February were within few
cars of $4,000, which is an increase
of 23.l per cent over deliver ries in
February, 1924.
Every week in February showed a
material increase over the preced-
ing week and the first week of March
likewise exceeded the last week of
February.
While dealers stocks are excep-
tionally low, the factory is turning
out cars in such volume that it is
hoped to meet practically the entire
current demand. Production for the
first week Of March was over 1000
cars day.
Dodge Brothers sales for 1874 in
creased more than 25 per cent over
1923, in the face of an IL pc. cent
decline in the industry as whole
These facts considered with the re-
sent continued increase, bespeal; a
most gratifying condition and Dodge
Brothers are naturally optimistic.

"That is the reason for all this
talk about the responsibilities Of
leadership which one hears and reads
