PROFIT ON PRISON FOOD
ELIMINATED BY COURT,
Ohio Tribunal Rules Sheriffs May
Not Demand More Than Is
Actually Expended.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, January o.
The Ohio Supreme Court has Topped
the profit from one of the latest fee
jobs in State politics. Sheriffs are not
entitled, it holds, to make a profit
from feeding prisoners.
Legislators tried unsuccessfully for
years to keep sheriffs from collecting
more than they spent for feeding
prisoners. The Supreme Court de-
cision came on an appeal from
Sheriff Fred Kohler of Cleveland,
who resisted Cuyahoga County
Court decision debating a county Jail
menu. Prisoners had charged they
We're underfed.
The sheriff's job, because Of the
decision, no longer will be sought as
the county political plum. State law
allowed sheEiff3 As cents a day for
feeding each prisoner. The actual
daily cost in some jails was estimated
at II to Is cents a day. The sheriff
pocketed the difference, and in a
county of 100000 the office was held
TO be worth $40 600 to $4,000 a year.
The salary, in counties of such size,
is $4,000.

Canadian Listeners Increase.

Canadian listeners are now esti-
mated at nearly a million, based upon
the fact that there are 100000 re-
ceivers licensed and that at least
three individuals are believed to listen
in on each set. This compares with
about 100000 sets thought to be in
use in the United States, with an esti-
mated listening public placed at TO-.
600, 900 or four to a receiver.
During recent eightmonth period
the Canadian Radio Department issued
1876 listeners licenses, registering
gain of II, 700 permits compared with
the number issued in prior period.
The growth of interest in the Do
minion is reported by Trade Com
missioner Meekin to the Department
of Commerce to be causing an increase
in production by Canadian manufac-
turers who anticipate that a million
more sets will be sold within the next
few years. Certain other observers
of the broadcast situation across our
northern border, which is little diff
ferent than it is south of the line,
fear an adverse reaction due to the
increasing station interference. blam-
ing chiefly the moving of stations in
the States into the channels allocated
to Canadian broadcasters exclusively,

The Canadian broadcasters are with.

dian channels. However, it is prob
able that Congress will soon enact
law placing radio regulation, and

direction of a Federal department or
commission. One Of the first actions
of such an authorized body would no
doubt be to order all our stations on

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Enough stations properly placed;
frequencies fixed rigidly by means of
quartz crystal control; simultaneous
transmission from two or more sta
tions in regions where fading is
noticeable or where atmospheric and
physical conditions destroy signals
this, in brief, is the formula of c. w.
Horn, superintendent of radio opera
tions of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, for
solving the ma or problem confronting
radio broadcasters today.
Mr. Horn has participated actively
in the development of broadcasting
and is responsible for the operation
of KDKA. Pittsburgh: KYW, Chicago;
WIZ, Springfield, and xxx, Hast
ings, Nebr.
He cites the experimentation of two
transmitting stations 100 miles apart
in order to broadcast the same pro-
gram on exactly the same wave
length as one of the outstanding ac-
complishments of radio engineers of
the past year. These two stations,
WBZ, Springfield, and WBZA, Boston,
are kept absolutely in step without
any deviation from their fixed wave
length of 1881 meters To the listener
the program apparently comes from
only one transmitter, though in reality
the incoming waves originate from two
stations and travel different paths.
Thus at stroke two things were &C.
misunderstanding or whistling
was averted by keeping the two trans
mitters at exactly the same rate of
vibration, and the fading effect was
reduced to a minimum.
The problem of snychroniZing these
stations called for designing apparatus
to fix and control the two waves at a
frequency of 10000 cycles per sec
ond The starting point was an oscil-
lator of fairly low frequency, con-
trolled by means of a tuning fork or
quartz crystal. These reasonably
slow vibrations were conducted over a
specially compensated land line from
Springfield to Boston. At each station
harmonics. or multiples of the funda-
mental frequency of the oscfllator
were separated and amplif1ed for
broadcast meditation.

matter of fact, static can come in so
many different forms that a great
many radioists are forever suspecting
their batteries, tubes or connections.
One is apt to be led astray when
buying a new loud speaker of another
make or type, because static does not
sound the same on all speakers. Where
a speaker is designed for emphasis
of the base notes, static is likely to
sound mushy. When the speaker fea-
lures the treble, static may be sharper
and more cracking in sound, or it may
be toned down considerably.
Often after making a change of
speakers and being unfamiliar with
the new interpretations of the ether
noises, the set operator will mistake
his old foe for some new type of in
reference, or set trouble. A way to
be sure the new speaker is just in
terpreting static in its own way is to
hook up the old speaker for com

GUARDS SAVE JAPANESE
NOBILITY FROM INSANE

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, January 22.-Bodyguards
always accompany members of
Japans imperial family when they
journey on the public highways. High
government officials also have their
police protectors at all times.
The reason is not that the princes
and government functionaries are
beset with murderous enemies, but
that the streets Of Toxic and other
large Japanese cities, contain many
imbeciles and halfwits, who are liable
to create scenes or attempt an assas-
sination.
Japan has her asyiums for the in
sane. but only the most dangerous
and deranged persons. who have no
relatives TO care for them, are taken
into these institutions. The Japanese
custom is that families must look
after their own feeble minded, and this
custom is religiously followed, with
the result that they roam the streets
at will.

One day he met friend who had
been under treatment by physician.
For years this friend had been fall
ing in health and business, never
suspecting that poisonous toxins were
accommodating in his system - to f.
nally strike him down with the most
prevalent of all diseases, TOXEMIA.
A check-up of the symptoms revealed
to Mr.. Collins the truth about his own
condition-he was nearing the danger
point - drifting day by day into this
frequently fatal conditional poison
saturated body-TOXEMIA!
Investigation showed that quick,
sure, economical way of cleansing the
system of poison wastes that bring
on this health destroying condition,
was through taking Partola, recon-
mended by doctors and druggists.
Mr.. Collins lost no time in getting a
box from his druggist. He soon got
rid of the poison wastes in his sys-
TEN, and now at the age of so, is
we'll and strong, energetic, successful
and head of q large store, making
plenty of money. He has proved that
a clean system is the real key to
continual good health and success in
business.
Partola, being antiseptic and laxa-
tive, cleanses the system quickly and
gently, ends constipation and pre-
vents oncoming TOXEMIA. All good
druggists sell regular box 30s, double
size zoe. If you are tagging, getting
behind, going back, - get box of
Partola and see what difference it's
occasional use makes in your health
and life.
