drowned radio programs.
While away recently Mr.. Herring
ton conferred with representatives of
light companies in Phoenix and Tue
son where men are employed who
specialize in tracing radio interfer-
ence that the companies are blamed
for. A curious fact that their inves-
LEGATIONS show is that the largest por-
ton of trouble was traced to heating
pads and violet rays, for which SIM
pie remedies were found. Poor in
sulations and connections which are
harder to find are often to blame. A
thorough inspection is being made of
all such possible sources of disturb
ances and it is anticipated that no
further trouble will develop.
Accompanying Mr.. Harrington were
w. G. Quebedeaux, former district
manager, and f. B. Stem, chief engi-
neer Of the Day & Zimmerman Co. of
Philadelphia, who was in this terri
tory and came to Flagstaff to attend
the meeting. City council was repre-
sented by Mayor Cress, and Council
men Raudebaugh, Mitchell and Sill
pher. The Chamber of Commerce was
represented by DR.. A. j. Mackey and
Frank Goodman.

The Billings-Cody Way claimed
some more victims on one of the bad
curves between Powell, Wyo., and
Beaver Wednesday. Both of the men
that were killed by the car rolling
over, Ira Waters and Frank Devine of
Lowell, Wyo.. were well known here.
From the report phoned to the Billings
Gazette. it seems that the two men
were drowned in the irrigation ditch,
alongside the drive, while the woman
who was accompanying them had her
skull crushed. Ira Waters was the
father of Lowell you might say, and
his son is now engaged in the auto
business there, as well as a daughter
Mrs. Mack Cline whose husband is en-
gagged in the real estate business there.
Mr.. Waters lost his wife in an auto
accident in Idaho about year ago.
The many friends of both families
here extend their sincerest regrets to
the stricken ones.
