MURPHY TAKES
ON DURANT LINE
FOR MID-STATE
Local Firm Distributors for
New Series of FourS,
Skies.

Outstanding among developments
in local automotive circles during
the last week is the announcement
that Murphy Motors, Inc, has been
awarded the central Indiana dis
tributorship for the new line of
Durant fours and skies which was
shown publicly through the country
for the first time a week ago.
Harry Murphy, for many years a
prominent figure in various busi-
ness and civic enterprises, but more
recently occupying himself with his
duties as president of Murphy Mo-
tors, is enthusiastic over the ac-
QUESTION of the new line of Durants
and has left no detail uncompleted
in arranging a full display of the
new models and is equipped to
meet any emergency in the service
and parts department at the COM
pany's salesrooms, Meridian and
Twentieth st.
Assisting Murphy in arranging
the first public showing of the new
Durants in Indianapolis was j. B.
McGarry, special factory repre-
sentative, who will remain with the
distributor long enough to see that
shipments are coming through
properly and to work out minor
details assuring prospects of every
facility.
Improvements and refinements
are a feature. Roomier bodies, more
beautiful lines, brilliant colors and
increased comfort are few. For
the first time in the history of the
industry it now is possible to obtain
inexpensive cars with bodies that
are rattleproof.
The new Durant models have
bodies of distinctive construction.

MILLER BUILDS
tires TO WEAR
New Six-PIy Cords Made
for Heavy Duty.

In announcing the new Miller
deluxe heavy duty six-ply passenger
tire, Arthur E. Rose of the Rose
Tire Company, 365 S. Meridian St,
Miller dealer here, said that the
new tire is designed to meet the
requirements of the motorist who
demands superlative luxury in tires
Rose said that speed-inviting
highways, steadily increasing traf-
flc regulations and other conditions
that demand more of tires have
combined to create new division
in motoring in which many motor
lists demand a more sturdy tire.
The new Miller heavy duty pas
senger tire, Rose said, has a carcass
of six plies Of extra strong cord
fabric of Egyptian cotton with extra
heavy cushioning of the highest
grade live rubber between plies.
The tread is heavier and tougher
and the familiar Miller tread de-
sign is improved somewhat adding
beauty and safety
Rose said that the new tire will
give the hard driving relentless
motorist the tire luxury and de-
pendability that he has been seek
ing. Also, it will give the average
motorists most astonishing mileage.

A LETTER

Great Southern
Life Insurance Company
E. p. Greenwood,
President
Dallas, Texas, January 10, 1923
Mr.. A. N. Brown,
Mercedes, Texas.
Dear Mr.. Brown:
Now that the hurry of the closing days
of the year has passed, | find time to re-
view the work of the leading individuals
associated with our Company in the agen-
cy division.
1t is most gratifying to note that your
agency though covering a comparatively
small territory, produced Approximately
$2,500,O00 of high class business during
1927; and doubly gratifying that you per-
s%onally produced considerably more than
81, 100000 Of that business, or about one
half Of it.
We congratulate you personally not
only upon the individual production, but
upon the splendid group Of representa-
tives with which you nave been able to
surround yourself. Please pass along to
each of them our most hearty appreciation
and congratulations on the volume which
they have contributed.
These results strengthen us in the
viewpoint which we have held for a num-
Der of years that the valley is a rapidly
growing prosperous section of our State.
and that its people are among the best and
most progressive to be found; and it makes
us feel good to know that our Company
has literally aided these worthy people
in the development Of their section Of the
State, by the many investments in the
form of mortgage loans which we have
been pleased to place in your territory. and
| may add that all of them have proven
most satisfactory, due to the high class of
citizenship and good values which prevail
in your district.
Thanking you for your achievements
during the past year, and wishing YOU
and your representatives even better
things during 1928, I am,
Yours very truly.

President

with the shield grid tube have open
ed another field for the fan who de-
lights in manipulating the soldering

Attempts to build radio frequency
amplifiers using such tubes produced
a circuit having RI stages, a detec-
tor and one step OF audio. Its per-
formance depends upon the care TAX
n in construction and in the design
Of the coils.
Proper shielding is highly impor-
tant. Besides individual stage shield
the plate wires leading from n
radio frequency step to the next are
encased in a grounded copper tube.
Unless are is taken in this connec-
tion difficulty may be experienced in
mastering oscillation.
The four element tube is designed
to prevent ~"squealing" without the
aid Of a balancing system, regenera-
ton develops where there is too
much haste in layout. Should diff
ficulty be encountered it might be
well to incorporate a variable resis-
lance Of 100, 900 ohms or so in the b
battery lead.
To obtain the maximum from the
new tube, interstage coils should be
of the autoform type. However,
some amplification il sacrificed TO
aid both the selectivity and stabil-
ity by coils with separate primaries
and s~econdaries.
The secondary has approximately
so turns for COOS tuning condens-
ers. The primary of Is or more
turns should be mounted SO that the
coupling can be varied. Different
primary coils might be tried until
the proper one is found.

contrslled by a 10 ampere fixed re-
sistor.

porates w bypass condensers. The

plicants.
Mr.. Brown also led the field in
November. marking the first time IN
history that an individual has led
the workers of the company two
months in succession In the seven
years he has been in the Valley. Mr..
Brown has placed 1900, 600 worth of

plicants.
All this and much other informa-
ton, all Of a complimentary nature.

on the rail and other ~transporta-
tion facilities, the road system, soil
and climatic conditions, the present
bodybuilding campaign and what it
will eventually mean. and gives a
history of the development of this
section.
If the various chambers Of COM
merce themselves had elaborated on

written q better one from the stand
point of the Valfey-in fact the data
contained in the article was based

RADIO BOARD
IS DEFENDED
WTRL Attack Unfair
Commissioners Says
In Statement

WASHINGTON, R.-Commissioner
o. II. Caldwell contends that the
record of the Federal Radio Com
missions treatment Of independent
b~roadcasters refutes charges made
by ID. W. May, owner of Station
WTRL Of Midland Park. N. j.. and
other station operators that the COM
mission has been unfair TO the
small bvoadcaster.
Mr.. Mays charges of mistreat-
ment were made before the senate
committee on interstate commerce
and in letters to members Of the
senate. In a letter to Senator Royal
Copeland, democrat of New York,
Commissioner Caldwell asserts that
the stations placed on the preferred
channels are the most popular in
their respective communities and
nearly all are Independently owned
and operated. They are invariably
the stations having the best appara-
tus, the broadcast programs and the
best individual records of faithful
observance of the rules Of the air,
Mr.. Caldwell says.
"They have been assigned pre-
ferred channels because of their in
dividual history and standing as sta
tions and not because of any chain
or other connections. In fact about
20 Of these stations had no chain
service when given their present
assignments. but have since chosen
to contract for the program service
offered by n Of the chains. That
they are free 10 do this is evident.
since by the Radio Act of 1927. the
commission expressly has no au-
thority over programs.
THE supply of two hours of daily
programs from n common source Of
program material. certainly has no
more relation to the independent
character Of the station than the
supplying of two columns of syndi-
Gated Eews matter to the leading
newspapers in 20 cities. from a
central news bureau. would have on
h ~independent control, character or
policy of these paners.
At present the time occupied BY
these chain programs averages less
than two hours per dav. for each
station. Later il this purely chain

ual programs are develoned bv other
