NezU Steinite AU-ElectYic Radio Set
Passes Tests With Flying COIO1S
Six-Tube Outfit Offered in
Five Models; Is Rugged
in Build.
BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR

During the last week, tests have
been made on the new Steinite all
electric radio receiver. This year
the Steinite factories are building
but one chassis, a six-tube radio
frequency set that is offered in five
table and console models. These
sets come equipped with either
dynamic or air column speakers,
which may be had at the purchasers
option.
The new Steinite has several
features including a built-in power
pact that is readily adjustable for
average line voltageS. This adjust
ment consists of a series of pin
Jacks which are connected to the
various lead-offs from the primary
of the power transformer. 1t is adj
Unstable to line voltage from IS to
1876 volts. This feature in the
Steinite for this year is said prac-
tically to have eliminated buried
out tubes.
Times Out Easily
The set is operated by single
Illuminated dial and volume con-
troll With the aid of compensation
in connection with the volume con-
troll, one is able to tune out many
stations that cause interference, due
to heterodyning. Stations are sep
arated easily within ten kilocyles
and the volume is ample to fill a
large house.
Monday night we heard for the
first time this year, Mexico City,
coming in just above WIZ on the
dial. While the volume of this
southern broadcaster was faint,
nevertheless, after listening to
dramatic sketch for twenty min
utes we were able to hear the sta
ton announcement clearly. During
the week stations were tylrned-in
from coast to coast, including XII,
Los Angeles.
Without aid of an aerial, stations
up to 1000 miles were heard with
splendid results. Several nights dur
ing the week fore than fifty sta
tions were tuned in. During one,
our log reached from WIZ, New
York, to XXI, Los Angeles, and
from WBAP, Ft. Worth, to Canada.
Chassis Is Rugged
The chassis is of rugged con-
Struction. Three extra heavy vari-
able condensers are mounted on one
shaft as big as your index finger,
the entire condenser assembly being
protected by steel cage. The chaS-
sis is mounted on steel subpanel,
and it is said that once the set is
placed in adjustment at the factory
there is practically no chance OF
even rough treatment throwing 1t
out of adjustment.
All Steinite cabinets, in both
table and console models, are of
black walnut veneer, beautifully fin
ished in duco. All Steinite models
are equipped with two-pin jack
for reproduction of monograph
records through the dynamic
speaker.
The interior finish of the set is
as neat in appearance as the ex-
terror, being finished in gold lac
quer. Steinite radio sets and speak
ers are distributed in central Indi-
ana by the Peerless Electric Com
pany, 118 South Pennsylvania street,
and are sold through eight Indian
apolis dealers.

SURVEY SHOWS
MOTOR SAFETY
is ON UPGRADE
Auto Mortality Rate Up
Little, Despite Great
Increase in Cars.

~ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Aided
by improved traffic devices and
stricter police regulations, motor
lists are becoming less of a menace to
life in proportion to the steadily
mounting number of pasSenge~
autos and trucks.
This was disclosed today, when
the Department of Commerce an
nounced that reports from II cities
showed an increase of out a per
cent in deaths from auto accidents
For the year ended Nov. 8, 1928, a
total of 1926 persons was killed, as
compared with 6,983 in the COR
responding period of 1927.
Based on rates per 100000 OF
population, the 1928 rate was 22.1
per cent and the 1927 rate 21.7 pei
cent.
This increase in the percentage OF
deaths, however, is offset by the
TACT that a gain of six per cent was
recorded in the number of cars.
The tabulation was made by an in
surance company IN thirty three
states.
Camden, N. j., continued to hold
the record of having the highest
traffic death rate in the country
during the year ended Nov. 8, with
$40 deaths per 100000 of popula-
ton, nine points higher than the
city's 1927 rate. New Bedford, Mass,
with but CT, had the lowest traf-
fic death rate.
Rates for other important cities
we're: New York, 17.2; Cleveland
23.8; Baltimore, 1879; Birmingham
f4.9; Cincinnati, 270; Columbus,
21.O; Denver, 14yO; Ell Paso, 1873,

Mrs. Willebrandt's Inconsistency

Governor Smiths Tammany connection is a serious
reason for opposing him, according to Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrardt. assistant attorney general, who
recently gained considerable fame when she recon-
nended to Ohio Methodist ministers that they endeavor
to vote their congregations republican.
Mrs. wiIlebrandt. as assistant attorney general. is
familiar with prohibition enforcement in practically
all states, but her remarks have thus far been confined
to New York. which she asserts is controlled by "the
Tammany crowd
Her attacks upon Tammany would not appear 50
inconsistent II she would devote at least part Of her
demonstrations to that ring in Philadelphia. the gang
sters in Chicago who appear to be in close harmony
with the Thompson ring, or the bootleg gangs Of De-
troit which operate in almost open defiance Of law.
In advising the Ohio Methodists 70 vote in accord
with those who are responsible for Max Boo Hoo,
alleged head Of nc Philadelphia rum ring, which, ac-
cording 10 the grand jury report, has corrupted prae-
tically the entire "A flee force; or TO advise those same
church leaders y ally themselves with the political
fcrces responsit. Y for the deplorable political, moral
and criminal conditions now existing in Chicago, Mrs.
Wilebrandt Is. to say the least, inconsistent.
Tammany at its worst, during the hey-day Of Boss
Tweed. was a paragon Of purity in comparison with
the organizations Of boOtleegers, thugs, thieves and
murderers now thriving in the two greatest ~ring-con-
trolled cities in the United States.
Why is il necessary for Mrs. Willebrandt, alleged
leader in the fight for what she terms "the moral
issue" Of the campaign to overlook the conditions in
Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, and numerous other
great centers Of population?
"A mans horizon is always limited BY the contacts
and the persons whom he serves" Mrs. Willebrandt
recently stated In an address at Warren, Ohio. Appar-
emily her horizon is extremely limited; so much so,
III fact. that she cannot even discern that filthy mess
recently unearthed in Philadelphia, and must devote
her entire time to denouncing conditions in New York,
where under the Baumes laws enacted under the adj
ministration Of Governor Smith, the percentage Of
crime has been reduced TO a lower level than in any
other Of the major cities Of the United States.

Regional Chamber to Cooperate

The South Texas Chamber Of Commerce has thor
onzhly clarified the misunderstanding which arose IN
the Valley following the recent passage BY the CAM
eron county commissioners court Of an appropriation
OF $4,000 to employ a traffic agency TO handle Valley
traffic matters, the appropriation beeing contingent
upon Hidalgo county contributing q similar amount.
The impression was created that an effort was
being made TO dispense with the services of the South
Texas Chamber Of Commerce traffic department which
has proved Of great value to Valley interests. The
plan proposed By Cameron county was merely to sup
plement the service Of the regional chamber, and after
being assured this was the case, the chamber officials
Immediately p~roffered their cooperation in connection
with any special counsel the Valley may employ in the
rate, differential and refrigeration battles which are
certain 70 be precipitated in the near future.
The Valley needs the services Of the regional or
ganizntion's traffic department; il also needs the
services Of special counsel in fighting the Valleys
battle. IN fact. the Valley needs all the strength il can
accumulate and all the cooperation the regional organ
ization or any other agency can extend. The traffic
department Of the South Texas Chamber Of Commerce
will be an invaluable ally in the pending battlei but,
a. the officials Of the organization are fully aware,
the situation is one that demands special counsel and
that il would Be an injustice for the Valley to ask the
regional organization to carry the full weight % the
Valleys battle.
The Cameron county appropriation for the employ
ment Of special counsel will be available whenever a
similar amount j. provided BY HidaIgo county. and as
the time is short in wh:ch to prepare for the fight,
there should be no delay.
The attitude OF the South Texas Chamber Of Com
merce. its prompt notification Of full cooperation. de-
serves the commentator Of every Valley interest.
This organization has repeatedly proved its value 20
the Valley and every other section Of South Texas,
and the service it has rendered and will render in the
future should be recognized By the financial and mora
support Of every Valley community and individual.

available. it is safe to say that the efficiency Of every
drainage project in Cameron county could have been
increased from 20 to so per cent. II would also have
proved invaluable in laying out or extending irriga-
ton systems, in providing drainage for the county's
highways and in laying out drainways and selecting
levee sites in connection with the flood control system,
1t would have eliminated much Of the huphazard,
"rule-of-thumb" construction which has cost Cameron
county and the various districts countless thousands
of dollars.
The soil survey, completed BY the federal govern
ment four years ago. has proved q valuable asset to
Cameron county, but the topographic survey. which
will be the future guide for development and extern
sions win prove even more valuable, and there Is not

The Topographic Survey

The decision Of the Cameron county commissioners
court to expend approximately $4,000 OF the flood
control fund for a topographic survey in which the
federal government will participate 90 a $3.50 basis

As all irrigation and drainage districts and private

Obliged TO make individual surveys in order 70 expand
their facilities.
Ii is unfortunate that this action could not PC
taken several years ago when the federal government
first adopted the policy Of aiding counties in toPo-
graphic surveys. The government heretofore has never
consented 70 make = survey showing contours Of less
than three or four feet, and such a survey would be Of
M practical value to Cameron county. However,
the government engineers were finally induced to con-
alder a survey based upon One-fOot contours, and il Is

A CITY's HARD LUCK

A CITY'S HARD LUCK
Rockford, ILL., is an up-and-comins American town.
Il has about everything a midland city needs for pros
perity and comfortable living. And, most notable t.
a stranger, it has pluck and civic pride.
Rockford received q fine BIT Of worldwide publicity
when the enterprising citizens Of the town hacked an
trail to Northern Europe.
The Greater Rockford plane had hard luck, but
whenever 1t encountered misfortune, the Rockford
hackers put up money TO have 1t overhauled Or rebuilt
or refitted.
Finally the Greater Rockford got off to a good start
on its perilOus journey. and actually made the trip
into Iceland, but had 70 be abandoned on account Of
the distance to gasoline supplies and the icy terrain.
Rockford was sorry that the filters didn't get all the
way to Stockholm, but it rejOiced whole heartedly in
the marvellous escape Of cramer and Hnssell, the
pluck aviators.
And then came a tornado and tore into the town Of
Rockford. doing great damage and wiping out several
lives. Rockford was again on the front pages. but not
in the way that a city likes.
~ - doFAAeth Ao an tHAe
spirit. The dead are buried. and for them the city
mourns. But the property damage is being repaired
and in ten or twelve months the visitor 70 Rockford
will have to hunt for signs left By the destructive
tornado. Right now Rockford is doing something
greater than back a great flight to Europe, great NJ
that enterprise was. Rockford is rehab;litating herself
and proudly wiping out the evidences OF her misfor-
tune.
It's a marvellous to see an American city crawling
out Of the debris after a disaster, and courageously
going ahead with business and life. Lorain, Ohio. did
q wonderful job Of it, after the havoc wrought there a
few years ago BY one Of the most destructive squalls
in history. St. Louis twice has rebuilt areas swept
by t~ornadoes. Omaha systematically rebuilt thousands
Of houses and other buildings that were utterly de-
stroyed by one Of the worst tornadoes- Baltimore is
much greater because Of her great fire. You can't keep
a good city down.
