Heated Beer Garden
 Berlin Development

BERLIN, Jan. 1G.-A heated beer garden is the latest develop ment in the restaurant business Of Berlin.
 Out in the "Grunewald," the forest skirting the western end of the capital, Uncle Toms Cabin is favorite stopping place for tired hikers. It has a beautiful garden in which the guests pre- fer to sit as long as weather will permit.
 The proprietor is determined to make his garden as comfort able in winter as it is in sum- mer. He has therefore installed a series of iron baskets filled with hot coals between the tables. The heat from the burn ing coals is sufficient to enable guests to drink their coffee ol beer in the open air without dis comfort.

WELLINtTON, New Zealand, Jan. 16. Farm children are superior to city reared children gays national report on a sur vey of the physical growth and mental attainment of the boys and girls of New Zealand. Su- periority of farmers children was most pronounced at the age of thirteen.
 The survey included 10000 town and country children rang ing in age from ten to fourteen and was carried out by Dr. Ada Paterson, director of the health departments division of school hygiene, and Dr. E.

 Total results of the survey showed that the average neighi and average weight of children of good mental attainment were greater than in the case of thoa' of inferior ability.

the radio listener himself in no small

Antiouated or defective receiving sets
are adjudged as blameworthy for poor
reception and for the increasingly large
number of complaints emanatlng from
fans to the effect that static, fading
and heterodyne whistles interfere WIN

certain other stations. This was 0rougnt
out convincingly at the recent hearings
before the Federal Radio Commission in
the cases Of more than 100 stations APP
pealing for renewal of their licenses.
The commission, m its projected revo-
cation of licenses of the 1874 stations,
has used as the basis for many OF the
citations the complaints from listeners
that the stations snterfered with re-
ception OF other stations and could not
be tuned out. The broadcasters, now
ever, have testified that obsolete or
homemade sets cause the concentration
and that after the sets have been serv-
iced, little trouble is experienced in tun-
ing out stations and increasing seiec-
tivity.

are not discarded, but kept in service.

about 100000 sets, get 1924 or 1928

Expert opinion given the radio COM
mission has been To the effect that 40
per cent of the people in the United
States have no idea of good radio re-
ception because of inferior equipment.
This condition has been accentuated oy

which do not have wave traps or other
devices for the elimination of interior

the industrial sections. Moreover. when
new models are placed on the market,
many of the older types on hand are

can be sold cheaply. These sets may
prove efficient for local reception but
