LOCAL MOOSE HOLD
 ENJOYABLE SOCIAL

Nome Lodge No. 1413, Loyal Or der of Moose celebrated Moose heart Day with appropriate cere- monies followed by a most enjoy able dance given at Moose Hall on Saturday, November 5th; sump- tous luncheon also being served in the dining room on the first floor during the course of the dance. The children of the local Moose each wore a scarlet silk sash with the emblem of the Order printed thereon. These younger members of the Herd occupied the center of the hall while all Moose present, both local Lodgemen and visiting brethren, formed the Defending Circle" around them. Bro. w. E. Creamer then gave brief sketch of the scope and purposes of Moose heart, the significance. of the day, and what the Defending Circle" meant to Moose and their families all the world over.
 At the conclusion of Bro. Cream CTS remarks, Dictator Walter Tay- Tor held the brief but impressive o'clock ceremony in which the Ladies of Mooseheart Legion and all Loyal Moose took part.
 Dancing commenced and it was gay and festive crowd that trip ped the light fantastic to the strains of Julian's Orchestra, keep ing it up with vigor until the small hours of the morning-the orches- tra very kindly playing several ex- tra numbers to the huge delight of the dancers.
 The mirth and enjoyment pre- vailing throughout the dance bore eloquent testimony as to it's com plete success; the brightly colored paper caps of various design worn by everybody blending with the hall decorations seemed to lend zest to the proceedings. Moonlight dances were featured and noisily enjoy able time was had by all who re- sponded to the invitation of the Moose.
 Several dances along the same line are planned for the winter by the antlered brethren.

This new light shed upon the dis

In 1923 to Canutillo, where Villa was
in retirement IN a conversation with
the Mexican. Dr. Danzigcr asked.
"Were there many Americans in your
army? DO you recall at Chihuahua

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 1.-THE price
Of love, in the case of John Russell
Boggess. a struggling artist, may be
f1xed definitely at S25,000.
Boggess, who clerks behind a cigar
counter i'll the Chicago Club because
art has paid him no dividends, was
a protege and friend Of the late Rob
ert Forsyth, wealthy consulting en-
gineer. Each fortnight the two dined
together. discussing many subjects
but never women. The engineer was
a misogynist to such an extreme that
his acquaintances said he would not
even give orders direct to his house
keeper.
A few months before Mr.. For
syth's death Boggess was married.
There came a change in the relation
ship between the two men. When
the Forsyth will was read it was
found that a SIS, 900 bequest Forsyth
was said by friends to have made
Boggess in previous will had been
taken out
But Boggess, still struggling art
list and still a cigar clerk, said to-
cay that $4,000 is cheap price to

The use of these radiobeacons is

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Window displays by radio are
offered by c. Francis Jenkins, Wash
ington inventor. as a radio vision
novelty which some day may become
vogue.
Mr.. Jenkins describes his device,
just patented by the Patent Office, a
billboard radio picture receiver" It
can be set up in store widnows, and
pictures will be flashed to it by radio
from a sending station many miles
away.
The device Is a picture receiving
surface which is swept over by
carrying arm like fountain pen. The
arm is actuated by impulses broad
cast by radio. and the arm sweeps
over the surface and draws pictures.
This differs from the reception of
weather maps, one of Mr.. jenkins
latest inventions, which already has
been successfully tried out for dis
tances of 1000 miles aboard vessels of
the Navy, in that the surface is fiat
while disc is used for the map.
The Patent Office also recently
issued a patent to Gen. George o.

Signal Corps, and the noted inventor
of wired wireless" on system of

those who buy on a basis of the high

Though the list by no means is COM

as follows:
Number of tubes, type Of circuit,

COMMISSION SEEKING
TO DIVIDE FACILITIES

No new broadcasting stations will
be permitted for some time to come
In a number of States, among them
New York, New Jersey, Florida and
California, as a result of an analysis
OF the distribution OF stations made
by the Federal Radio Commission,
which shows that these States have
stations with total wattage, as COM
pared with population, far above the
average for the United States as
whole.
The commission recently has refused
an application of Station WTRL, Mid
land Park, n. j., for an increase in
power, and also has turned down an
application for the establishment of
q new station at Millville, n. J.
In rejecting the application of Sta
tion WTRL, it was pointed out by
the commission that there are now
"a stations in the State, with total
power of more than $4,000 watts,
which is about five times the average
Of the country as whole, as com
pared with population. Thirty-seven
of the States, it was pointed out also,
have less than the average of power.
The same situation applies with re-
spect to applications for new stations.

ferring to that provision of the radio
law which requires ii to divide radio
facilities equitably among the States.
