is no cinch to play. was presented a, Mooseheart. The tone of the instru- ment was clear and we enjoyed it. The station came through loud, but so did the static. Thunderous, we call 1t.
 Static was too heavy, mixed with code, for us to remain at XIV, Chi cago, although that station seemed to be coming through loud enough. Piano selections of classical nature were being played.
 WIS, Chicago, equalled WBZ, as to volume, and surpassed it, as far as clarity and quality of transmits sion went. We tuned in while the WLS Party was on a sleigh-ride. We received a hint from WBBM earlier in the evening that Chicago had re- ceived its first touch of winter, the gang at the Sears Roebuck station. ever anxious for variety, decided to go on a sleigh-ride. Ralph Emerson was there and lots of others were there. Ralph played on the organ, in his inimitable style. the three dances from Henry VIII," and the music was slick, too. Then. since the party had stopped at the College Inn, we heard dance selection by Jack Chapman's orchestra, You Will, Won't You?" The combination he is using at the Inn is the same one he employed in the old Drake Hotel days.
 That Red Riding Hood" number drifted in again, that is, also, from WHAS, Louisville, where Eddie Ros- son and his orchestra performed loudly. This band is favorite at the station and it performs two or three times week. Deep Henderson" was also played.
 And we caught Lee Simms, that well known pianist, in one of his at WBBM, Chicago. Lee played bits from lots of popular se- lections, weaving them all in to- gether, playing some in classical style, for which he is famous others in bues styles, and still others in just ordinary foxtrot time. His work en- tertained us perfectly. The station was very loud all evening.
 That's all for today, thanks!

OXNARD, Calf, Aug. 27.--Vivian
Duncan, one of the Duncan sisters of
stage fame, may never dance again as
result of an automobile accident last
night in which she and Vernon Rick
ard, member of the cast of "Topsy and
Eva" were severely cut and bruised
DIR. Edward o. Heach of the ST. Johns
hospital, where the two Were taken,
stated that cut under Miss Duncans
knee caused the synoval fluid to es-
cape from the knee cap and that in
fection was likely to set in. He said
she would probably be unable to dance
again If this occurred
The dancer also suffered fracture
of the skull, which was not regarded
as serious.
Miss Duncan and Rickard were re-
turning from San Francisco, where they
had gone to bid goodbye to Rosetta
Duncan, who left for New York, when
their machine was sideswiped by an
other, the driver of which escaped after
removing the Identification tag from
his car. Police were endeavoring to
locate him.

For Next Convention De-
ferred Until Today.
DOUGHERTY PRESIDES
Morgan McDermOtt Post of
Tucson Award Cup For
Membership Increase.

Stirring addresses Dy officers of
the American legion, officials of the
veterans bureau, the Hon. Carl Hay
den, Arizona member of congress,
and others marked the opening of
the second session of the state con-
vention of the American legion in
Bisbee Friday.
After the call to order, the invoca-
ton, the pledge to the flag and a
moment of silent prayer, delegates to
the convention heard and passed up
resolutions, constitution and time and
place of next convention.
Action upon the matter of select
ing the time and place of the next
convention was not taken, the matter
being continued until the third ses-
sion of the convention, to be held
Saturday.
The first address of the session,
which was presided over by Col. j.
A. Dougherty, department legion
commander, was given by Maj.
Shepard HiscoX, of Fort Huachuca,
who dwelt upon the ideals of and
the work being accomplished by the
Boy Scouts of America. He pointed
out that the boys organization is
rendering many real services to the,
country and the communities and
urged all legion members to coop
crate with the various divisions of
the organization in helping them
achieve their aims.
Major Hiscox was followed by
Hughes B. Davis, national vice COM
mander of the American legion, who
reviewed the work and achievements
of the legion since it's organization
and urged the members of the or
ganization to unite in maintaing the
the American legion.
In commenting upon the position
attained by the American legion,
Davis cited an instance which oc-
Cured recently in small town in
which a legion member had gone
wrong. Citizens of the community,
Davis said, made the remark, "a
legionaire gone wrong" despite the.
fact that the man belonged to sew
eral lodges and organizations. The
significance of the expression, Davis
pointed out, was the fact that the
residents of the community were sur
prised to see a member of the
American legion deport himself i'll
unseemly fashion. Davis emphasized
the the fact that the organization is
judged by the conduct and moral
standards of IFS individual p,a1nbarc
and in closing, praised the delegates
and the organization as a whole for

REGISTRATION
IN THIS CIT Y
is ABOV $500

The registration of Douglas voters
for the September primaries passed
the $500 mark and that of the county
will exceed 1880, according to an es-
innate made by County Recorder H. L.
Hutchison at the time the registration
books closed at o'clock Friday after
noon. A great many persons took ad-
vantage of the last day to register, and
Mrs. Mary Smith. one of the regular

Warren. Each registration will be
checked with the precinct maps and
numbers. The total registration will
be announced on August 81, at which
time the registers will be turned over
to the board of supervisors. The heavy

S5 Douglas voters took advantage of
the provisions of the law and voted as
absentee and disabled voters Most of
these voters were railroad men, who

cards. Thousands of postal cards,
valued at one cent each, had been
perforated like sieves when the

color they have one quality in
common, that OF leaving destruc-
