SAN DIEGO, Cal, April IL
static, the fly in the ointment q
the worlds radio, has been con.
quered!
A static r.ullifer has been invented
that is guaranteed to forever Danlsn
the squeal, gurgles, blares ana
crashes which are wont to emanate
from your loud speaker at just the
time YOU are extolling the sets vlr-
tues to your friends.
The invention is revolutionary 10
principle 1T is not merely q new
form of trap" with which the M
dustry is thoroughly familiar put
instead is based on an entirely new
method. utilizing the lack OF wave
length in static charges.
Idea lis Born
Jean Harold Clark, of San Diego,
Is the inventor. Ten years ago al
idea came to him that static, Whlcn
the scientists define as "natural
electricity in the, ether, or atnlos.
pherics," might be eliminated %
means of a device calculated TO lake
advantage of that peculiar properly
within itself by which it disturbs the
ether. "all over the scale" and there.
fore either has no wave length OF
every wave length.
Today he announced the pracLlcal
workability OF his invention, ana SUD-
mitted it TO two local radio engl-
neers After thorough investigatioIl'
the experts declared the device fooi-
proof and efficient. Clark mas APP
piled for patent rights.
''The device, which can be at
tached to any set, enables the opera
tor to bring in far distant stations
almost as clear and Statlc-rree az
though they were local stations.
said Prof. Wallace "A. Gilkey. radio
and electrical technician OF San
Diego State College.
THE static charges which enter
the set are sent through a process
which tends to neutralize them.
without in any way reducing the
the distant transmitter.
A ModHlator
"The static incubator as the
inventor calls his device, practically
eradicates everything that is I'M
desirable from the total pick up OF
the aerial. Lightning, power line
leaks, trolley car sputters, electric
light transformers and distributors,
the starting and stopping of motors
and dynamos and the countless
other radio disturbances incident
to the mechanical and electrical
industries, the existence Of which
were unknown before the advent of
radio. are alike diminished to prac-
tically nothing by the device"
In demonstration test, distant
stations were tuned in on various
sets not equipped with the moduIa.
tor.
While the volume was all that
could be desired, the music was not
pleasing to the ear because Of the
great amount OF static that always is
gathered up when bringing in DIX.
However. with the cutting in of
Clark's device the static crashes
were decreased by 40 per cent,
leaving the music clear and strong.

culture legislation" while every student
of our agricultural problem knows some
Of the producers need help now"
Reviewing the objections set forth by
the President in his veto message on
last years bill. the New York member
said that if the equalization fee was un-
constitutional at that time. ii still was
unconstitutional, and that IT there
fore follows, as the day tha night.
that the President viii veto the present
Haugen bin containing the equalization
fee; therefore, agriculture gets no help

quotations attributed TO him by Paul v
Collins in Background Of Events" in
The Evening Star of April S:
'Mr. Collins article Is full of glaring
misquotations, one of which Is untrue.
"Mr Collins quotes me as saying that
the purpose Of a march of unemployed
men on the National Capital would be
not only 10 invade the Capital, but
eventually to overthrow, by violence If
necessary the institutions of organized
government. This Is either a bald
faced lie or somebody's pipe dream.
have at no time discussed the likelihood
OF the overthrow of the institutions OF
organized government either by
violence or otherwise. Any statement
TO the effect that have said anything
Of the kind is as reliable as the braying
Of BalaaRl's ass.
For general information, as well as
for that Of Mg. Collins. let me explain,

those who believe in more organized
government. not less, and that be-
lieve in q strong, vigorous, well-disci-
piined organized government in the In
terest Of those who do useful labor by
Drawn or brain. Perhaps II Mr.. Collins
would read Karl Marx more attentive
iy he would better understand my phi
losophy.
sThe statement that presided at the
unemployment conference Is also un-
true, / did not preside al any OF the
sessions Of the conference, although ]
was and am In entire sympathy with
the purposes OF the conference,
The statement that said that Prof
Henry FURY was lying low was equally
false. What ! did say was that Prof,
Flury IL not an Atheist and rs not
identified In any way with the Atheist
movement. As a matter Of fact. Prof
Fiury Is member Of the Episcopal
Church"
President Edward ]. Irvine Of the
Washington Chapter Of the American

referring 70 portions Of the article OF
Paul v. Collins In The Evening Star
Of april 5:
''Intimations in Mr. Collins article
