RADIO THRILL

Low audabiIity might be the
description Of loud speaker con.
0ifiOns last evening, when broad
casts were difficult to find and
considerable noise disturbed the
atmosphere. Programs appeared
to shy away from receiving sets
In most sections Of the continent,
although good volume was OBJ
eafned here and there with care
fIll tuning. Code was an espe-
clal annoyance throughout the
evening.
The proposal Of Congress to
evenly distribute wave lengths and
power between geographical zones
established for radio supervision is
hardly less unenlightened than that
suggested by the resourcefuI Mr..
Furness during the Eveready exer-
cises last evening regarding the
sire of Orchestras to be used in
brcadcasting music. The rule of
thumb cannot be used in either
case-and the unusually colorfuI
program presented by the Eveready
orchestra as the chief feature of
last nights broadcasting would
not have been possible with a
smaller orchestra than was used.
Brilliant, stirring, splashes Of
tone such as the finale Of Tschat.

which the Eveready program was

ing, requires a. complete assortment
or orchestral instruments, and it
Is only a ge1ius like Director Nat
Shilkret, who could even approx.
mate the values that must be
shown with an orchestra as small
as he used for the purpose. On
the other hand, there are many Sc.
lections the idea OF which two in.
struments could convey as well as
ninety.
So. It is not 50 much 4 ques-
ton Of what a miscellaneous audi
ence can detect in the difference
between IL and So instruments
playing one selection, the question
raised by Mr.. Furness, as it is what
kind of music Is to be included in
the programs. Composers score
their compositions for certain in
struments, just as painter uses
certain colors, because, to convey
the idea they have in mind, the
varying tonal character OF these
instruments must be used. One
loses both character and intent Of
composer in music by reduction OF
instrumentation in the same man.
ner one loses much of painting in
the reproduction of a great color
combination in black and white for
the literal translation into a for.
eign language Of a word picture by
q great dramatist or poet.

delivered last evening were Of un.

Tonopah suffered a visitation

No one has lost his front

Arriving in town in five

fashion. One member OF the
gang engages the proprietor

LADS STRANDED
FAR FROM HOME

Two youngsters, David and Alec
Campbell, aged IL and respec-
lively, got off train No. 26, al
$50 this morning, and looVeo
around for the father they were
supposed to meet.
Alone and without funds, the
lads soon attracted the attention
of railroad officials who questioned
them regarding their destination.
They said they were TO meet
their father who is employed at
the "Dutchman's mine" at HaV-
thorne. At this point the assist
ance of the sheriffs office was
called.
The boys mother Mrs. Bessie
Campbell lives at OceanSide, and
a telegram was dispatched to her
asking that she send tranSpor-
tation back to OceanSide, ana
money for meals, as Hawthorne
is 300 long, weary miles from Las
Vegas.
Apparently, someone looked at
a map and decided that Les
Vegas was located close to Haw-
thorne, and that by sending the
boys to Las Vegas, they could
easily meet their father.
