OBITUARY..

/
Julia A, daughter of the late DR..
Nathaniel and Philomelia Emery
Johnson, died April "a. She was
| just few steps from the one in
which she passed peacefully out.
Miss Johnson, in 1861, was mar
ried to William B. Dyer, who served
in the Civil war. Twin daughters
were born to them, Annie (Mrs.
John G.. Allen) and Phila Mrs.
Mark F. Richards), who died in Bar
Harbor January 6, 1922, Mr.. Rich
ards dying soon afterward.
Mrs Dyer, after her husband
death, spent her winters with her
daughters in Bar Harbor and
| Winthrop, Mass. Mr.. and Mrs. Allen
wished their mother to live with
them, but her comfortable home
here became more and more at
tractive to her as the years sped on,
her brother Frank living with her.
Mrs. Dyer's last winter in Massachu-
sets was in 1917. Mrs. Allen al
ways came for the summer, and
grandchildren, grandchildren
and guests galore foregathered. AL
ways the head of the house was
placid, and ruled her little kingdom
with love and tranquility.
The waves of trouble, which came
to her, broke and scattered without
undermining her faith in the good
ness of God and the rightness of
His plans. Her sister, Mrs. Phila
Cole, and her niece, Miss Gertrude
Ordway of London, N. H., were with
her in her sudden illness, but Mrs.
Allen did not arrive until after her
death Saturday morning, which was
a great grief
The funeral was conducted at the
home Monday afternoon by Rev.
Harry Taylor, who spoke of her,
well-spent life and the good use she
made of the experience and wisdom
garnered with the years. Miss Alta
Hanna and Mr.. Taylor sang "Beauti-
full Isle of Somewhere" and abide
With Me-" with Miss Julia Hanna
as accompanist. Mrs. Allen deeply
appreciates their kindness, the beau
tiful flowers and all the neighborly
acts of relatives and friends.
Besides the sister Phila and
brother Frank, there is one other
brother, Herbert, who lives on the
Johnson place, two grandsons,
Norman D. Allen and Grosvenor A.
Richards; two great-grandsons,
Frederick and Grosvenor Allen, and
many nieces and nephews. The in
terment was in the Johnson ceme-
terry.

COMMITTEE D. KS
RADIO BILL CHANGE
Reduces Membership of Com.
mission Proposed on Geo.
graphical Divisions.

Authorization of a Federal radio
commission of FIVE, instead of nine
members, as was originally proposed,
is the principal change in the new
White radio bill as finally approved
by the House committee on merchant
marine and fisheries.
The bill Is expected to be reported
back to the House within a few days.
The reduction in the membership OF
the commission conforms to the views
of the Senate committee and Is eX-
pected to wipe out one or the
chief divergences OF opposition be
tween the two bodies.
Under the terms of the new White
measure the entire United States will
be divided into five districts, each rep
resented by a resident citizen. OrfGt-
nally ii was planned TO use the geo
graphical division of the country into
the nine radio districts, at present EN-
ployed in the work of the Department
of Commerce.
Five Districts Outlined.
The first districts as proposed are as
follows:
Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey.
Delaware, Maryland, the District of
Columbia. Porto Rico and the Virgin
Islands; 2-Pennsylvania, Virginia
West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and
Kentucky; 3-North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas and oklahoma; f.
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, North Dakota. South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri;
5--Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, CoIora-
do, New Mexico, Arizona Utah, Neva-
da, Washington, Oregon, California,
Hawaii and Alaska.
The new bin provides that no mem
Der OF the commission shall be tinan-
cially interested in the manufacture
and sale of radio apparatus, or in the
transmission or operation of radio
telegraphy. radio telephony or radio
broadcasting. Provision IL also made
that not more than three members
Of the commission shall be of the
same political party. The first com
missioners are to be appointed for
terms of 8, I, 5, 6 and years, re-
spectlvely, their successors TO be ap-
pointed for Z years each.
A second important change in the
new White bill is the reinsertion Of
the clause designed TO prevent the
Interstate transportation of vacuum
tubes and other radio apparatus car.
rying any prohibitions or restrictions
on their use or bearing any fixed
sale price. This clause was included
in the White bin of year ago, but
was dropped from the measure in.
troduced in December.
Other changes include the provision
that every State shall he entitled 70
at least one wave length in case ap-
plication is made, and that any station
license shall be revocable for false
statements made in the application
for the license, or because of condi
tons revealed by such statements
which would warrant refusal of a Ii.
cense on the original application.

This rule works just as well the
other way. If you have your aerial
in your room, the amount of inter-
ference you will pick up from the
other fellows radiating receiver will
be much less than if you have your
aerial on the roof few feet from
his. All in all. bringing in your aerial
eliminates both outgoing and incom-
ing squeals and makes everybody
happy.
If you want to, you can use the
smaller aerial for ordinary listening
on local stations and use the outside
aerial only on silent nights when you
are out after distant stations.
If you are using a good regenerative
set or any of the popular four or five
tube sets, you will find the small in
door aerial a great improvement over
the outside aerial.

Short Aerial Best.
The use of a smaller aerial cuts
down the amount of trouble you can
cause by radiatinS whistles and
squeals into space because the amount
Of energy radiated by small aerial
is much less than that radiated by
large aerial. Another reason why an
outside aerial causes more trouble to
other sets is that il is very close to
the other aerials, usually only a few
feet from the others on the same roof

Many operators of old-style regen-

Modern pressure of business or other

her.

RESOLUTIONS ON
MRS. ROB|SON'S
DEATH ADOPTED
Seventh District Federated
Clubs Pay Tribute to
Former Leader.

Resolutions adopted by the
Seventh District Federated Clubs on
recent death of Mrs. E. ]. Robson,
former president of the Womans De-
partment club, as submitted by Mrs.
Grace Julian Clarke as as follows:
The recent death of Mrs. E. j.
Robson meant a real loss to a wide
and varied circle. Mrs. Robson
touched life at many points, and
always helpfully and effectively. Her
activities as a teacher and molder of
youth contributed to her success as
a home-maker. and these experiences
were reflected in her club and
church life, as we'll as in her later
connection with war work and the
interest growing out of it.
After the consolidation of the
two older club organizations
into our present Indiana Fed
Grafton, Mrs. Robson was appointed
vice president of the Seventh dis
trict, an office corresponding to the
present district craftsmanship, serv-
ing during the season of 1907-190S
On the organization Of the district
the following year she was elected
secretary and was a tireless worker
during that early formative period.
Never self-seeking, she did not shirl1
any duty. and all who knew her
must remember her loving person
ality. her rare poise. the strength
and dignity that were her clothinG
the wisdom with which she opened
her mouth and the law of kindness
that was on her tongue. What more
need be said? Bearing in mind all
this,
Be it resolved by the Seventh dis
trict, Indiana Federation of Clubs,
That we record our sorrow at the
passing of this friend and co-worker,
our grateful appreciation of what she
was and what she did, and that we
send this testimonial, with our ten
der sympathy, to her son.
