RROADCASTING U. S. .BUNCOM
 OF EDUCATION

kOMO radio broadcasting station of Seattle has been cluttering up the air with a so-called Alaska School Teachers Institute. Accord ing to the Bureau this bit of self-ad- vertising will be of benefit to over 250 nurses, doctors and teachers in Alaska. It might be we'll if the bunkum bureau of Indian educa tion would just tell the public how many of it's teaching force ar even stations afford this luxury.
 It should be noted that announce ment of this clever bit of advertis ing followed condemnation of the Bureau in Washington by it's failure to give certain communities decent housing conditions for pupils and teachers. AngCon has schoolhouse which come thirty years ago was native shack" and at no time has the teacher at that station had place to live This year the Bureau rentel an unfinished house which was anything but comfortable for the teachers to live in. The school building when last seen by the writ CT housed some forty pupils and was unsanitary sEd unfit for any school purposes; a room in the unfinished residence was used for housing 34 ,hlldren in the primary grade
 these children were seated at rough board tables and sitting on grocery and dry goods boxes for chairs. The teachers when in their rooms sat huddled by the stove unable to keep warm in spite of overcoats which they wore while entertaining their guests.
 In Petersburg the conditions are somewhat better. But unless some thing is done very soon the whole building will go crashing to the ground pupils and all The posts may be taken out by the handful so decayed are they and the new flooring in the entryway only cov- CTS rotted flooring underneath.
 Other schools built shortly after Dr. Sheldon Jackson took over the work, before most if not all of the present school generation were born, are in just as delapidated con- dsticn.
 It is not radio broadcasting that the school system needs nor wants. The money spent on this bit of advertising had best be spent on improving the condition of the schools and let them advertise them selves by results turned out in the finished product.

This year for the first time the
Philadelphia Storage Battery Com
pany is offering complete radio
receiver. For several years this COM
pany has been manufacturing the
Philco socket power, for use with
radio receivers, to supply A and B
battery power. After great success
with the socket power unit, this
company decided to enter the set
manufacturing field and have given
us the Neutrodyne -pluS, siX-tube all
electric radio receiver.
This new Philco set is offered in
three models, one table and two con-
sole. The table models are offered
in vivid color combinations of La
brador gray, Nile green, Mandarian
red and rich furniture brown. They
are shaded in two tones. exquisitely
designed and hand-decorated
The console models are of walnut
and known as the 'Highboy" and
1.-THE Console" Both table and con-
sole models employ the same six
tube chassis.
May Use without Aerial
The Philco Neutrodyne-plus may
be operated without use of an aerial,
operating from ground connection
only. Philco engineers always have
made the claim that this set was
a great distance getter without the
use of the aerial, so we proceeded
to test the set along this line and
the results obtained were tar be-
yond expectations.
without use of an aerial we were
able to tune in stations from Den
yer to New York and from Texas
to Canada. Monday night our log
showed more than forty stations,
including KOA, Denver; WIZ, New
York; WBAP, Fit. Worth; WCCO,
Minneapolis; KSD, KNOX, WGY,

Editorial Comment
For Quiet Weddings
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The days when Hudson, Wisconsin, was the
Gretna Green of Minnesota runaway marriages
may have passed, but it is still sought by many
who wish to take spark from the torch Of
Hymen without undue notice. At least that
is what Miss Mabel Gustafson of Hudson says
and she ought TO know. She is known as the
only marrying lady justice of the peace" i'll
the northwest. She says that nearly all those
who have sought her aid at Hudson came from
either st. Paul or Minneapolis. II suppose"
she explained, "they came ,here to avoid pub
licity in the Twin Cities. They can get the
marriage license here and go through with the
ceremony without undue notice."
Which is exactly the spirit that made Hud-
son the preferred Gretna Green of former
days. But Miss Gustafson may have been a
little modest in setting forth the attractions
Of the quietude of Hudson for the bashful
couple. There is the little thrill in being mar
ried by the "only marrying lady in the north
vest" and there is the added element of the
tact instructive in women and felt most effec-
lively by the couple seeking union by path
that has been smoothed by feminine touch.

Hearing May Affect
N. ID. Wheat Growers

A hearing of possibly great inn
portance to the durum wheat grow
ers Of the Northwest was held in
Washington recently before the
food standards committee Of the
department of agriculture. The
question considered affects North
Dakota more than any other state
inasmuch as this state grows more
durun. wheat than all other states
combined. The proposal before the
committee was to change the legal
definition of "farina" and "semo-
lina.' Broadly speaking, in the
trade language, farina has come to
mean purified middlings from all
other wheats except durum, while
semolina is the purified middlings
made from durum wheat. Sedolina
is used in the manufacture of ma
caroni and. spaghetti. and a very
large domestic trade has been built
up under this name. It is now pro-
posed by the food standards commit
tee that the following definition and
standards be adopted:
purified middlings, farina, is
the clean, sound granular product
obtained in the commercial process
Of milling wheat, and is that por-
ton of the endosperm which is re-
tanned on 10 Xxx silk boiling cloth.
1t is practically free from flour,
and contains not more than Ia per
cent of moisture.
"Semolinar is the purified mid
ding Of hard wheat.
"Durum semolina is the purified
middlings Of durum wheat"
Congressman j. H. Sinclair ap-
peared before the committee on be-
half Of the wheat growers Of the
Northwest. He stated that while he
was not prepared to enter into
technical discussion of these defini-
tions, he would be very much op-
posed to any changes which might
result in injury to the growers of
durum wheat. If the adoption Of
these new definitions might bring
about a slackening of the demand
for semolina made from durum he
felt that they should not be auth
orized. The North Dakota repre-
sentative said that it should be the
earnest desire of everyone to in
crease the domestic consumption Of
North Dakota wheat and wheat
products, and urged united coopera-
ton to that end.
In attendance at the hearing was
large delegation representing the
millers o. the United States, includ-
ing members from Minneapolis and
Duluth; also representatives of the
bakers, and the manufacturers Of
macaroni and spaghetti. Congress-
man Sinclair was the only witness
to appear for the wheat producers.
He was assured by the committee
that no change will be ordered If,
after a careful consideration, it is
shown that the growers will be i'd
versely affected.
