Crescendon One
 Of Many Features
 Of Crosley $50

The Crosley Crescendon. part of the standard equipment of the five tube $50. is patented device which permits the building up of weak signals to full-roem volume. without distortion. Hundreds of thousands of radio listeners have "found" weak stations on their dials. and worked to build up the strength go the signals would be at least audible, without success. They have wished there was some device on the set which would permit the increasing of the volume of these stations-but have wished in vain until the Cresccndon was develop ed. This Crescendon is just what they wanted It builds up signals of stations, inaudible on other sets, to full room volume.

PROGRAM HIT

The $1,000, 900 building program
for st. Elizabeth's Hospital has
struck a snag in the Budget Blu
reau, where Gen. Herbert M. Lord,
director, has refused to approve the
expenditure.
1t is understood that Lords Oh
jections are based on the fact that
the Veterans Bureau is withdraw.
ing most of its 800 patients from
the institution, and that there is no
longer the need for such an exten-
sive building program.
The $4,000, 900 would have pro
vided accommoda tions for 1900
patients. DR.. William A. White,
superintendent, had recommended
new quarters for that many, 500 of
which would relieve actual conges-
tion, 500 to remove patients from
their present quarters in temporary
and unsafe structures and 500 to
provide for future increases.
With the arrival today of the
fourth member of the commission,
appointed by Secretary of Interior
Hubert Work, to investigate condi-
tions at the hospital, the actual in.
vestigation got under way. The
latest arrival is DR.. s. e. Smith,
provost of Indiana University. The
fifth member, DR.. George M. Kline,
commissioner of the Massachusetts
department Of mental diseases, is
expected next week.
One of the phases Of this inves-
tigation is a study Of the conges-
tion and the need for tits RELIEF.

A gratifying increase in the
street lighting facilities of the Dis
trict is noted in Hadley's report.
With about 1900 gas lamps and
more than 10000 electric lights,
there has been an increase in
candlepower of from 1884 to
