has a powerful influence in raising
individual standards of efficiency
and enterprise.
One good example of a village
that was not well planned origin
ally but that now has been trans
formed into an extremely pleasing
place, is Weston, Massachusetts.
Weston formerly had large
swamp area in it's center. This
has been drained, graded, seeded
to grass, and planted to pine, fir
and chestnut trees. A new town
hall and fire station have been
built opposite the entrance to the
common. Public buildings are now
centrally grouped. Old, unsightly
structures have been torn down.
The improvements were planned by
a landscape architect. 1t took 25
years to put the plan through, but
everyone in Weston now believes
that the enterprise was worth the
time and money it cost.
A village that was started with
good plan and has realized it
is Patterson, California. This viii
lage and colony Of irrigated farms
occupying $4,000 acres, were plan
ned in 1910. Roads leading to the
village were strategically located
and planted with trees and shrubs.
The village itself has eight streets
radiating from civic center where
the public buildings are located.
In the last four years the residents
of the village have built public
library, a community club house,
a concrete swimming pool, and a
grammar school, and have provid-
ed an automobile camp park.
A town dump at Lewisburg, Pa,
has become a scenic asset, through
the activities of women, who form
ed civic club, launched civic i'm
provement propaganda, and accu-
funds for an improvement
program. Formerly the first i'm
preston a visitor got on arriving
and the last one he took away with
him on leaving was one of squalor,
because the town dump lay across
the main approach to the village.
Today the land yhere the dump
stood is the property of the civic
club. Old shacks have been re-
moved from it and refuse cleared
away. 1t has been leveled and
planted to grass, flowers and trees.
1t is spanned by gravel walks and
by ornamental lighting
Now the visitor enters
the village through a green and
park.
Many other examples of effective
village planning have been noted
by the departments Investigators.
Yet the idea that village planning
is as necessary as city planning
has taken root in comparatively
few places. 1t has not the pres

New Train Service on
The Santa Fe r. R.

Improved train service, including
changes in running time through
Winslow and routing of some Of
the Santa Fe's transcOntinental
trains is announced by Jas. B. Duff
fly, general passenger agent, to be-
come effective March Is. Most i'm
portant of all will be the inaugura-
tion of new morning service out
Of Chicago for Kansas City and
California. This will be the Scout,
and the crack train, cutting nine
hours off it's present schedule, will
be operated via Amarillo, Texas,
Clovis, New Mexico, and the Belen
cutoff, thus giving west Texas and
that territory another fast train to
California. No. 10, now operated
via Albuquerque, will be placed on
the Belen cutoff for Amarillo for
the east-bound travel.
The officials announced that the
increasing travel from Texas and
the territory traversed by the new
service made it necessary to run
a double-daily service. The run
ming time of No. 21, the Missionary
also routed over the cutoff, will be
reduced about two hours, making
it one of the fastest flyers of the
six trains that will be operated be-
tween Chicago, Kansas City and
California, daily each way.
A new through service between
Los Angeles and Kansas City and
Chicago via Phoenix is also an
nounced. This service will be op-
Grated in connection with the Cali
fornia Limited, with days lay
over at Phoenix both ways. Trav-
elers will have an opportunity to
visit the Roosevelt Dam and other
points of interest in Arizona.

Ban Declared On Two
Counties In Arizona

A provisional quarantine has
been declared on Apache and Nav
ajo counties on account of cattle
scabies, according to an announce
ment by DR.. S. E. Douglas, state
veterinarian. No cattle will be al
lowed to move in or out of the
counties under quarantine.
DR.. Douglas came to this county
several days ago following reports
of several cases of cattle scabies
in southern Apache county in an
area which was removed a month
ago from a quarantine of three
years duration due to scabies
among cattle. The quarantine was
removed after an investigation
found that no cases of scabies had
been discovered in the area then
under quarantine for nearly a year.

Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Oh you basket tossers! It's true
our team didn't quite win the sys-
tenn championship but never-the-
less we are greatly justified in be-
ing very proud of our boys and
especially Dan Hitchcock. AS was
previously announced the Santa Fe
system apprentice basketball tour
ney was held the first three days
of the big orange show in San
Bernardino, beginning February 10
in which fourteen teams partici-
pated. The local five played bril-
liantly the first game and complete
1y crushed, by a score of 1911,
tne much touted Albuquerque ag-
gregation who were the last season
champions. The sensational work
of young Hitchcock, who scored
IS points alone, and of Harry
Kemmis, featured this game.
The second game in which Wins
low defeated Richmond by score
of 21-19, was played on the floor
of the Y. M. C. A. The San Berdoo

the Arizonans and Hunt for Rich
mond, featured the game" Just
two hours after playing Richmond
our team was matched against
Shopton and altho they fought
hard, they were eliminated from
the contest by being defeated with
a score of lilo. However, the
Meteor City and this shop can
boast of having the best all around
player on the Santa Fe. He is
our own Dan Hitchcock. Just ask
him to show you his little all
sterling silver basketball which
was presented to him by F. w.
Thomas, apprentice supervisor of
the system. The team line up was:
H. Thornton, captain and guard;
F. Analla, Jr., guard; H. E. KEN
mis-, center; D. Hitchcock, for
ward; J. Pullins, forward and E.
E. Holt and E. Chavez, subs.
The Shopton team, which won
the cup, was extended an invita-
ton to stop over on their return
home and play Winslow in an ex-
hibition game, but declined the Of
fer. Guess they figured they had
better let we'll enough alone.

Autumn weather will bring with it
crisp days that are not only ideal

BURIED ANTENNA
REDUCES STATIC
Experiments Show Drop in
Volume as Well as Less
Interference.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, October 21.-Elimination
of atmospherics and interference
caused by ma n made static" has been
furthered within the last year or so
through additional experiments with
underground antenna for radio recep-
ton. Several types of buried aerials
have been designed with more or less
success.
Experiments conducted over a num-
ber of years by several prominent radio
men have developed that while an un-
derground antenna does cut down inter
ference, including that caused by some
Of the electrical inventions of man,
there Is a drop in volume. In addition
IL has been found that the directionai
qualities of such pickup system are
more marked than with an antenna
strung above the ground.
Attempts are being made, however.
to overcome these difficulties and a
Chicago experimenter recently an
nounced he had improved the under
ground system to the point where
many of the problems heretofore en-
Countered had been overcome.
Tho underground aerial" consists
| of a buried wire, which has been care
| fully insulated so as to exclude damp
ness. Sometimes this wire is buried
| In the form of d spiral and at others
| il Is laid in long trench. Greater
success has attended the system when
| the insulated wire is inCaSed in a
metal shield. which, of course. is
grounded. giving what is known as a

tends to keep from the receiver q

special hinge construction permits the

Connect Right Terminals
In using the ordinary type of five
tube tuned radio frequency set with
ground consisting Of the framework
of the car and the auto battery for
a. battery current care must be
taken to make sure that the grounded
terminal of the circuit Is the same as
the terminal which is grounded to the
framework of the car. In some cars
the negative terminal is grounded to
the framework. while in others the
positive terminal is the one which is
grounded. If you do not take the
precaution of determining which ter.
minal is grounded you may find that
you may short-circuit the battery
when you connect your set to the car
battery.
Either use a circuit in which the
aerial and ground circuit of the re.
ceiver is entirely independent of the
rest of the circuit or design your cir.
cult so that the grounded "A" battery
lead Is the same as the one which is
grounded to the framework on your

five-tube tuned radio frequency set.
The frame of the car will form a
good counterpoise ground.
The loop aerial, Of course. makes the
most suitable form of aerial for a
portable set, and wherever possible
this form should be used.
The horn Is really the most bother
some feature of the whole arrange
ment. but even this necessary member
can be fastened up in an out-of-the-
way corner of the car.
The battery problem Is also not as
difficult as II seems.
Auto Battery Used
The car battery can be used to
supply the filamNpt current for the
tubes. A simple way Of providing for
this feature Is to get a burned-out
dash lamp and use the contacts of
the lamp as terminals for the A bat
terry wires which are to be connected
to the receiver. "A" battery current
can then be supplied by merely re-
moving your regular dash lamp and
inserting the converted lamp base
into the dash lamp socket thus con-
Meeting the auto battery with the re-
ceiver terminals. The "B" and "C'
battery can be carried in a small suit
case. A multiplug cord connector
which can be permanently connected
with the batteries In the suitcase and
by means of which the batteries can
be connected with the receiver ter
minals by simply plugging the plug
into the corresponding receptacle in
the receiver makes an ideal method
of connecting the receiver and bat
teries together.
Those who expect to use a portable
set to any great extent should use

portable receivers. This case Is shown
