Two historical articles Of interest

the October number of the Texaco

the Texas company. Both OF them
deal with Indians in North Dakota.

Bismarck resident, takes up the story
Of this family, and Is illustrated by
pictures taken by Mr.. Barry of the
various members Of the family.

Chicago, Oct. 2l--From multiplicity
TO simplicity and from one tube to
dozen, is the incongruous situation
that has accompanied the development
Of the modern radio receiver.
The numerous controls thought
necessary in an earlier day have given

ducc this ease Of operation has been
moved to the unseen recesscs back OF
the panel. There from five = eight
or more tubes. with their increasing

ical apparatus, have sprung up to
overshadow greatly the lonely tube
Of the recent past.
