Gilbert and Buck Jones
 In Special Palace Features

The photoplay, "St. Elmo" a Fix Films reissue of Augusta J. Evans novel of that name. which will be shown on Sunday and Monday :tthe Palace theater. is one of the most in- teresting romantic productions seen on the silver sheet for many day. Perhaps one reason for this Is that John Gilbert plays the impassioned title role with that sincerity a..d dynamic intensity characteristic of his work. Another reason. of course. is that it is the first time Augusta J. Evans widely read novel has been screened.
 The director. Jerome storm. has handled the story with commendable delicacy and an eye for detail. John Gilbert excels himself as St. Elmo. His character delineation rings true at all times. He has invested his role with q sympathetic appeal and a romantic glamour that scores for him an individual triumph.
 The companion feature will offer Buck Jones new starring vehicle in "The Black Jack" is a smashing success for knockout thrills. In this production Buck deals with story of the west and the desert, gold and outlaws, and the girl he loves. It is the kind of a story that is typical of the Fox star and one in wSich he excels. It gives him ample oppor- tunity to show his stuff"

 The television principle engineers explained yesterday, is based on the conversion of light beams into raeio impulses through the use of photo electric cells. Through a rotating or scanning lisc. in which are more than two score minute toles, is projected brilliant light. The light. passing through the rotating disc, throws fleeting beams If bril- liancy across the subjects picture and the high speed of the disc rem ders continuity of moving picture.

 The radio receiver is an inverted transnitter, that is the action is reversed and the radio impulses re- converted into light beams. In the case of the receiver the recon er- sion is made through the use of a neon gas lamp which responds to the variation of current by fluctuations of light intensity. These fluctuations, passed through the disc which is synchronized with the rotating speed Of the transmitter's disc, reproduce the action imposed cn the transmi,- ter's "eye."

STATIC TROUBLE

 From Household Articles

Homemade static. the kind pro- duced by man-created apparatus, is probably responsible for many more cases of interference than that or iginating in the ether. Static, the mysterious atmospheric kind, has harassed New Britain radio fans. and others too. for several years. It has absorbed the, attention Of scien- lists. And now. be it known, that engineers of the big electric power companies are cooperating with eN- perts engaged by the Radio Manu- facturers' association in an eNhaus- tive investigation of the ''home- made" bugbear.
 Local radio fans will be interested to note the potential static makHs, many of them being innocent house. hold implements. Among these static makers are arc lights, electric heat CTS and irons, percolators. electric curlers, waffle irons elevator con trols, violet ray machines, N-ray machines, telephone magnetos, leaky transformers, doorbells and buzzers, dishwashers, electric photographs, printing presses, oil burning devices, farm lighting systems. electric cigar lighters, street car switches, defec- tive light sockets and bad conncc- tions in home lighting systems.

The transmitter was located three miles away: the demonstration was given newspa permen by the General Elec- tric Company. in whose laboratories tho television transmitter and the home receiver was developed.
 Credit for the present state of per lection of the television is given mainly to E. F. W. Alexanderson. chief consulting engineer of the Radio Corporation of America. A
 The apparatus was housed in cabaret much like that of phono- graph. A three inch square opening in the television permitted viewing of the radio- pictures.

NEWING70N PLANS
 NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Finance Board Approves Erec-
 tion Of SS5,O00 Building

Newington, Jan. 1.-The first Of four plans for financing the erection
 of an $S5.0 high school unit at the Center was approved by the finance
 board at its meeting held last eve | ming at the home of George w. Han bury. The board turned down the proposal to puy property at the south end of the town to be used when elementary school needs re-
 quired small building in that sec tion.
 The first plan of the school board called for the erection of an $s5.- U00 unit at the Center, the cost to be
 taken care of by 20 year bond issue
 at 4nT. According to the figures
 which have been compiled by the
 board, this would increase the tax rate 1.3 mills. The other three plans of the board called for larger ! increases in the tax rate in order to finance the program and the board
 evidently felt that the increase would be too large.
 The project will now be taken be- |. fore a town meeting which the f1- nance board will request First Se- i lectman James C. Gilbert to call. Although the matter of building 8 high school has been discussed for
 the past year or more, no definite plan was ever adopted by the fi-
 nance board. It is expected that when tn, subject is brought before
 a town meeting, it will provoke long and heated discussions since there
 are many voters who are opposed to the erection of any building on l any plan whatsoever.
 | The finance board took no definite ! action on the appropriation for the 1 purchase of fire hose as was report ed that it would do. However. the ] members voted to have the matter
 put in the call for the next town
 meting so that 1t will be brought Up | at that time: Undoubtedly. an ap- | propriation will be voted since, at ! the last town meeting. there was a
 large majority in favor of purchas- i ing the hose for the Newington Vol
 unteer fire department. It is not | expected that tn gre are many oters who have changed their minds on ! the matter so that the department ! is well assured of an appropriation 1 to cover the purchase of hose, for which it has q pressing need.

If anyone desires to use a violet ray machine and lis- ten to the radio at the same time he may eliminate the noise by hook ing a tapped condenser between the input terminals of the machine and grounding the center tap.
 Doorbolls, the engineers declare. are only a sporadic source of inter- ference. generally. If the antenna  system is kept some distance from the bell wiring, the interference IS virtually lmnoticeable. In one case il was noticed that the radio set picked up the ringing of q telephone bell. By tracing the collector cir cult it was found that the set and the phone system were using the same grounding device. Such in- stances are fairly common in this city and many fans have complained that the ringing Of the telephone bell was audible in their sets. One listener reported that he was able to hear conversations going on over the wire.
 Most Of the troubles arising from the use Of electricity in the hoEle are simple to trace and simple to remove. The results of the experts investigation are to be published in a specially prepared manual for the use of radio listeners.
