No-Battery Set
Makes Biggest Hit

New York.-New York's radio. shows,
just concluded, introduce the follow
ing innovations to the fans of the
country:
/. Receiving set without batteries
or even battery eliminatOrs.
2. Power loud speakers.
8. New types of A. c. current tubes.
4. More single-control receivers.
5. Built-in loud speakers.
6. More attractive cabinets and
other forms of furniture to contain
the receivers.
There is nothing new in types of
receivers. Hook-ups remain the same
in principle.
BY far the outstanding innovation
is the super heterodyne receiver that
is operated directly from the electric
lighting line, without any interven-
ing battery eliminator or other trans
former. The tubes in the receiver
also new, are of the alternating cur
rent and high power type.
Room for More.
That leaves plenty of room for the
numerous other radio manufacturers
to make fortunes this coming season
from the sale of their products. Every
one of them is preparing for this. All
indications point to a far better year
In radio than has ever been exper-
fenced.
And more radio manufacturers have
entered the field.
With little, if anything, new.
The five-tube receiver, however pre-
dominates. It is either neutrodyne or
few reflex sets, some super-hets and
simply regenerative. Yet there are
here and there the smaller tube re-
ceiver may be found.
Few Parts and Crystals.
The remarkable part about the shows
this year is the absence of crystal re
ceivers. And in almost the entire de-
pletion of stands. held. by parts manu-
facturers.
The reason for this is that parts
are giving way to complete sets in
the favor of the American fan. That
is the consensus Of opinion among
radio men who know the field.
1t is shown especially in the fact
that. the annual set building contest
held by one of the -hows drew only
about a dozen entries this year, as
against more than hundred last year
The absence of crystal sets at the
shows does not necessarily mean their
loss in popularity and manufacture.
For crystal sets generally are pro-
duced by small manufacturers who
couldn't afford to rent show space,
OF who wouldn't think it worth while

Find IL Years Old
Runaway Lad on
State House Grounds

Leaving his home at 20 IL Capt.
toll street Saturday forenoon, Mil
ford Brown, II years old. had not
returned on Monday morning, and
the Augusta police were notified to
be on the lookout for the lad. Early
Monday forenoon Joseph E. Young
Jr.. of the State Highway police, To-
Gated the boy on the State House
grounds and took him to the Au-
gusta police headquarters, where
later he was united with his mother.
The boy told conflicting stories as
to where he had passed Saturday and
Sunday nights, and at first claimed
that he had not eaten since last Sat-
urday morning.
Investigation disclosed, however,
that he had been practically in his
home neighborhood most of the
time, and that Sunday morning he
had breakfast at the home Of friends
of his family on Glendon street.
Sunday he stayed most OF the day
about the corridors of the State
House, and it is believed that he
slept that night in the warm boiler
room.
1t seemed to be simple case of
adventuring with the lad being
afraid to return to the home circle
after he had stayed away Saturday
night but after falling into the
hands Of the officers he was impress
ed as to the unpleasant results OF
his waywardness and probably
learned his lesson.

The program was accepted by the
miners as basis for settlement but
the operators declined to agree to
it.

Coolidge thanking the executive for

and it frankly sets the public interest

built up by the hand of an educator"

equipment be added.

Laws And Enforcement

Americans are leading in an effort
to provide worldwide means of
speedy capture for criminals and law
offenders of all sorts, wanted in one
country but perhaps temporarily re-
siding in another while in flight. Per-
haps it would be better for Ameri-
cans to set some sort of IAN example
to the rest of the world in speedy cap
ture, trial and punishment of law vio-
lators generally in our own country
before trying to advise other coun-
tries, which, in almost every case, are
far ahead of us.
This latter achievement might be
reached first by more closely co-ordi-
mated law enforcement systems, re-
placing the present system of loosely
connected municipal, county, state
and federal authorities. Then, sec
ondly and by far the most needed, is
different viewpoint on the part of
the nations legislative bodies and the
people themselves to provide laws
that will promise the criminal real

new thrills for those to whom the
storied violation of all the command
ments is no longer interesting new
crimes are devised and new situations
developed.
The plague has crept into the books
of the day until the really wholesome
fiction is both unusual and unsung.
1t is cheering to note that the gov
eminent has again undertaken the
task of fumigating book stores and
news stands. Thirty-two publishers
were on the carpet the past year and
fifty tons of filthy publications de-
stroyed. This stuff is to be declared
eontraband in interstate commerce and
may not be shipped by express or
otherwise.
However it will continue to appear
by some means, hardened persons will
sell it and children will get hold of it
to read just as long as the unhealthy
appetite remains with people who
read.-Anoka Herald.
