DINING BY LATIMER

We note that Frederick r. Lati- mcr, writing in the New London Day, claims he has a radio set on which he can get nearly anything there is almost any time he wishes to go DXing after 10 p. m. To get stations on the Pacific coast seems to be as easy to friend Latimer as snaring the radio waves coming from Bridgeport, if not easier. The other night he had Salt Lake City loud and sonorous, through the loud speaker. Therefore he is against tinkering with the air lanes. The federal radio commission, he ayers, should let well enough alone. If it were possible to fetch every station in the country at any old time he would just as lief play marbles. And I.atimer. we'll bet, would make a good marble player.
 We have heard Of these sets be forc--thc kind that can land Mexico City, Hawaii and even New Zealand. A glrrulous radio fan told us the other day that the anouncer in Mexico City would be all right if he didn't talk so much Spanish, and he admitted the announcer in Havana was pretty much in the same class AS lying about radio reception is as prolific a necessity as lying about the number of fishes one catches we positively and absolutely agreed with him, adding that the announcer in Mexico City talked as if he hat the pip.
 If WIZ is fading, says Latlner try WJR or KDkA, which usual, will be having the same program Of course, nobody ever heard O KDkA fading-not at all. If WEA happens to be poor, try WJAl'

corporation has been formed, with an initial capitalization of $1,uyo.- GOO, which will distil coal by new process which avoids the waste and cost of the method heretofore fol- lowed, and which will be sold to the Waterbury Gas Light company and enable that concern to sell its product lower than any mergerized concern possibly could do it,
 It has been comparatively recent that the electric power interests have become interested in gas pro- perties in New England. This idea originated in Philadelphia, where the United Gas Improvement company for years was an owner of electric as we'll as gas properties in many states. It may have been noted that just as soon as the |. G. l. got its hands into the Connecticut egg basket the interest of the Connecti- cut Light & Power company cX- banded to include gas properties, and mains at present are being laid throughout the state to connect up recently acquired properties.
 For long time gas has been con- sidered but a minor competitor Of electricity. Before we had electric i lights. Of course, We had gas lighting in every home, and many of the old l timers can remember the time when all street lighting was from gas from gas lamps. The advent Of cleo 1 tricity dealt severe blow to the gas business, but in recent decades l it has been found that the field for gas remains large, this being due primarily to the widespread use of gas stoves for cooking. The in auguration Of gas stoves marked a l new cpOCH III lllc gas DuSllItSS' bringing back it's importance and spelling prosperity for the gas com panics.
 The gas concerns are progressing right along, too, and the electric power interests have taken due mo- tice and are intent upon acquiring , the gas companies wherever pos sible In New England most gae companies have been built up through local capital and they are still locally controlled. The power interests, however, would Wrest this local control away and merge the gas companies with their own huge statewide or intrastate control.
 The public as a rule does not take
 kindly to the idea. If the gas com,
 panies can be saved to serve the
 communities where they were de,
 veloped there is a strong feeling that
 it is the better way The victory ir
 Waterbury is of outstanding i'm.
 portance to the practice of loca management.

Tut, HIGH SCHOOL LOSES

sympathy and congratulations go forth from the cttizenry of Nc" Britain 10 the mo!eekin warriors who represented the Now Britain High school in the annual football game with rhc Hartford High eleven on last Saturday. We 2ymlg- thize with them because they lost and congratulate them upon their game fight against a team that seemed to bc a better one than was collected here Not that Hartford had greater fighting spirit, greater vim in the game, + had neither tt simply was the stronger team,
 It was obvious that the New Brit ain outfit went into tho game 10 give all that it had, it Was obvious that it did so. During tho first half Hart ford was easily outc.assed. due to ifs own failure 10 function smoothly as a team and New Britain's excellent following mp oc the ball, combined with Us striving to it's utmost.
 The sad truth must bc told, how eyer. New Britain's efforts were superhuman during the same first half. so much SO that the team tired itself out in an effort to worst ifs bitterest rival. It was unfortunate that there was not endurance loft to struggle in the second half as it had in the first.
 However, there is ano'har yaar coming.

 Betty greeted him with a long, intoxicating kiss before they went inside. But Lionel remained in the house only few minutes. Soon he came tearing out of the house at top speed without his hat-only to run into Bctty's father, who was just coming up the front stoop?
 What was the matter?
 It couldn't have been the father he hadn't been there. Then what Was the trouble?
