term as chief executive of Texas,
while her husband, former Governor
James E. Ferguson, practically
usurped the office for political ia
voritism and financial gain an in

report to the Legislature today.
The Nreport charged that Ferguson,
who was impeached as governor in
1917, dispensed pardons, squandered
millions of dollars of state highway
funds, collected tribute from persons
seeking state contracts and rewarded
his friends at the expense of the
state while Mrs. Ferguson rubber
stamped his actions.
No recommendations were made by
the committee, but it reported:

water supply and drainage, storage.
arrangement and construction of
cupboards, directions for making
homemade equipment and demonstra-
ton of its use, demonstration of pres

equipment, removal of old finishes
and preparation for refinishing. Major
improvements were made in IS kiteh-
ems, many are still making changes

pearance that persaps accounts for the

Our ancestors made these pretty

however, all this is changed Patterns
unless we prefer to design our own,
may be purchased already stamped

this is tackled is prepared for us. And
there is modern needle which

ROAD INQUIRIES
INDICATE HEAVY
TOURIST SEASON

Montana this season is to have tn,
heaviest tourist business in its his
tory if the inquiries as to roads anC
points of scenic interest pouring in
to the office of Secretary B. ]
Brietenstein, of the Montana Auto
mobile association, may be taken as
an indication of what is to come.
Since state autoists formed club
and became affiliated with the Am
erican Automobile association, inter-
est has been reawakened in the seem
ic wonders of Montana which in
clude the two national parks, Vel
lowstone and Glacier.
Other "Three A" clubs throughout
the country are asking for literature
and special interest is taken in the
program for good roads sponsored by
the state association.
The Oregon State Motor associa-
ton, in letter to Secretary Brieten-
stein, says that Montana has jump
ed 10 years ahead by starting to de-
velop a club that stands for better
roads"
During the past several years,
writes George o. Brandon, secretary
and general manager of the Oregon
club, "our main office here in Port
land has been, visited by hundreds of
people who would have liked a visit
to your state and most of them would
have been willing to put up with in
ferior roads had there been a func-
tioning motor club in the state to
serve them. When told that Montana
had no such club, they lost interest.
eve Oregonians are deeply inter-
ested in Montana good roads and we
are not altogether unselfish in this,
as good roads in Montana will attract
a great deal of travel directly into
the Pacific Northwest that otherwise
would be diverted over the southern
route into California.
"While | never, as yet, have had
the pleasure of visiting your state,
from what | hear of its wonderful
scenic attractions, am led to believe
that Montana is destined to become
a favorite visiting place of tourists"

WEAF TO BE MOVED An
REBUILT

WEAF, the key station of the
chain programs. is to be moved from
its city location and rebuilt on Long
Island. According to Merlin Hall
Aylesworth, president of the National
Broadeasting Co., the new station will
be the most modern broadcasting sta
ton in the world The present WEAF
transmitter, located on top of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories, is interfering
with the important research work of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Co., and it was part of the
agreement between the officials of the
A. T. & T. Co., and the N. B. Co.,
when WEAF was sold, that the sta
ton should be relocated at the earliest
convenient date.
The most eminent radio engineers
in the country are on the board of
engineers which has drawn the plans
for the rebirth of WEAF. 1t in
eludes such distinguished scientists
as DIR. Alfred N. Goldsmith, chief
broadcast engineer of the Radio Cor
poration of America; DR.. E. F. W.
Alexanderson, consulting engineer of
the General Electric Co., and Frank
Conrad consulting engineer of the
Woc4Irapha4aro E1aa4,,sa II
turing Co.
In relocating WEAF in the open
country, DR.. Goldsmith claims that
the radio dead spots which have
caused blight on radio reception
for many of its listeners in city
areas will be avoided to a large ex-
tent. These dead spots have been due
TO the fact that the great masses of
steel in city buildings often absorb
the signals from stations located in
their vicinity and therefore affect
the reception of thousands of listen
ers located in certain areas.
Inc power OF the new station is
to be adjusted to give adequate re-
ception to the listeners within the
normal service area of high quality
network station.
The latest principles of construc-
ton and equipment will be incorporat
ed, and the station will represent the
complete application of the principle
of remote control of transmitting
apparatus located at a considerable
distance from the studio.
1t is expected that this new sta
ton will be in operation by the early
summer of this year.

former"
Ans.-In order to get the best re-

arrangement it is necessary to use
an exceedingly high capacity. The
output transformer is preferable only
when it is correctly designed to match
the impedances of the set and speaker
on which it is to operate.
