the first floor very odd. We saw the
works of Perugino, whose Madonnas

Raphael's; also many other old
paintings of the Umbrian school of
painters. On our way downstairs we
passed an interesting looking room

W WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--Sun
spots are seriously interfering with

Of standards, said today.
"An electrical disturbance is

suits in poor reception for distant

While static now is not so notice
able, there is an atmospheric blan-
ket effect which radio waves do not

As vet science has been unable to
conquer this obstacle and there is
no relief in sight"
Sun spots travel in cycle of IL

at their minimum and radio recep-
ton was at its best. The maximum
