Charles Written. assistant engineer,
drove the second car across, a big

The sale of foxes ordered by the
receivers of the Frank Gordon, Inc,
promoters of extensive fox ranches
in Lincoln and at other points, re-
suited in no bids being received.
This was ordered that funds might
be provided for reimbursing the
receivers and owners of foxes who
have advanced money for the feeding
and care of foxes since the receiver
ship took place. The sale was to
take place Saturday at the office of
Artemus Weatherbee in Lincoln, who
is serving with Patrick II. Gilin of
Bangor at the direction of the court
in the receivership. Less than half
a dozen people attended the sale and
little interest was manifested. Mr..
Weatherbee or Mr.. Gillin would make
no statement as to the next move. 1t
is expected that the neXt~move to
realize on the assets will be ne
gotiations for sale of foxes at pri-
vate sale. There are some groups of
fox contract holders who may nego-
tate for the purchase of animals
later.

rect'g. though its earliest origin Ii
found in the Greek word meaning
soft or tender. yet by curious twist
this word signifies "of Mars" and
hence should be regarded as a terms
denoting strength or an ironlike
quality
In early Rome Marcus was a nam.
belonging to noble gems of Sabine
origin which gave king to Rolnu
and later named the high-spirited Mar
cius Coriolanus. The daughters Of
this gems were called Marcia or Mar
zia, and later from the same origin
sprang Martina. The last-mentione |
was made famous by one of the young
Roman girls who endured martrydori
under the Emperor Decius.
There was St MarcelIus among
the Romans. He figured among the
warrior sex of Venice and had o
French namesake called Marcel. The
feminine counterpart Marcella, made
Its first appearance as the name OF n
pious widow whose friendship witr
st. Jerome took the fancy of the
French. Though they prefer Marcelle,
the other spelling is used BY theai,
and Marcella is extremely popular In

Smallpox All Over State
Causes Health Officials
To Issue Urgent Appeal

At least 80 cases Of small pox were
discovered at Middlebourne during an
investigation made recently by DR..
David Littleiohn, director of the divi-
sion Of preventable diseases of the
State Department Of Health. The dis
ease is prevalent all over the state,
reports show, and has been for several
months Many Of the cases are mild,
according to DR. Littlejohn, but this
has only increased the danger Of in
lection since persons having the dis
ease have been allowed 10 go about
at liberty.
Symptoms of smallpox, it is ex-
planned, are first headache and back
ache, often accompanied with nausea
and vomiting. There Is usually high
fever, but the eruption does not begin
to appear until from four to six days.
The disease is often mistaken for in
fluenza or so-called bilious headache"
Vaccination, rs las been said time
and again pr Lttleiohn declares is
tie only safe and sure method of
combating the disease and preventing
a serious scourge III the state. Those
who have been vaccinated within
reasonable lergth of time need have
no fear OF contracting snallpoX re-
CARELESS Of how intimate the contact
may be, but the unvaccinated have
every reason TO be concerned for they
have no assurance against it. Sections

CR0SLEY FAvoRS MORE POWER

HE SAYS IN DAYTON ADDRESS

DAYTON, OHIO, April Pow
ell Crosley, Jr., President Of the Cros-
ley Radio Corporation, Cincinnati,
predicted that radio motion pictures
win be common in the American
household within the next FIVE or ten
years in an address before members
of the Dayton (ohio) Engineers
Club.
Il believe that within the next five
or ten years radio stations win be
equipped with vision microphone,
which may be taken to the athletic
field and imprints of every move re-
produced on a screen in homes hun
dreds Of miles away.
"In addition to the pictures, the
regular receiver will give The word
descriptions Of the games and the
games and cheering Of crowds and
playing of bands.
Experiments to date indicates
that the radio motion picture is a
success A recent test was made be-
tween Washington and a point sew
raj miles away and the pictures were
Reproduced with perfection.
"The device, which will make radio
motion pictures a success, may be
attached to the regular receiving set,
and will be obtainable at very small
cost.
Radio broadcasting is like the mo-
tion-picture industry especially the
theater part Of it. In he early days
there were many small store shows
which gradually changed into better
theaters and now we have real theat-
ers devoted exclusively to the artis-
tic presentation Of motion pictures.
In changing process many proprie-
tors could not keep pace and fell by
the wayside that is what is hap
pening in the radio broadcasting
business. Bigger and more powerful
broadcasting equipment and hand
some studies must be maintained if
those in the business wish to be
classified among the leaders.
Our broadcasting stations have
been the best we could obtain. When
the time comes and higher power
transmittrs are available, it is our
aim to place them in operation. Our
next outfit may be so or 200 kiIo-
watts.
"a 5,000-watt station now is ordin-
airy and cannot be termed super
power. Experiments with CONNER
cial wireless show that plants Of
100000 watt or Of 200 kilowatts or
more capacity are necessary to carry
on communication across the ocean.
II expect in the near future to see
200 kilowatts or more power stations.
This, of course will give greater
range. ! believe this method the
only way in which static may be eli
minated from signals
increase the power of the broad
cast wave until it is on a higher level
than static and the static interfer-
ence will be SO little that it will be
hardly noticeable.
Il expect, in the near future, to
see the power companies Of the coun-
try using their wired wireless on
transmission lines and serve their
consumers with radio programs that
only are receivable from the wires.
when we erected fifty-watt sta
ton in Cincinnati several years ago
the fans Of the city were up in arms
because Of our use Of superpower.
The station could hardly be received
outside the city, but yet it was terri
bic to the fans, who then had wide
tuning receivers. believe the fifty
watt station caused more adverse
comment than the present 5,o0o-watt
plant"
