To Use Code For
Weather Report

Those interested in the weather
forecast which is received at FL Cen
tro chamber of commerce headquar-
tiers from San Francisco every night
at 6:45 can receive the report by
tuning in on KXO, which station
broadcasts the weather forecast ev-
cry night at Z.
Station kXO has arranged to have
the weather forecast preceded by n
shrill whistle; then the verbal re-
port will be given. In addition to
the vcrhal report, the station has ar
ranged mechanical devices to indi-
cate the report of the weather on
nights when static or other interfer-
ence might make the reception diff
ficult and those wishing to follow
these weather reports should learn
the following signals:
A shrill whistle announces that
the weather report is to be given;
the ringing of a gong indicates light
frost; gong and shrill whistle to-
gether indicate heavy frosts. If
neither whistle or gong sounds,
weather indications are clear and
mild. The forecast is repeated over
kxO when the station turns off
each night.

John Gilbert At
Imperial Theatre

A new partner for John Gilbert,
long associated in the movie fans
mind, with Greta Garbo, is Rather
inc Dale Owen who is seen starred
with him for the first time in "His
Glorious Night, dashing romance
of Austria, strangely reminiscent Of
the "Merry Widow.
Gilbert has the role of clever
and handsome army officer, loved
by princess, who sends him on his
way when she discovers he is of
peasant birth. He manages TO per
suade her to change her mind, using
unusual tactics TO do so. But be
fore he accomplishes his object ro-
laance has had several hard slams
and the hero is in danger of losing
his beloved to an insipid member OF
royalty, TO whom she has been be-
trothed.
A strong supporting east is seen
in support of the popular star, who
has gained a large following through
his splendid acting of romantic roles.
"His Glorious Night, is charming
and Fascinating, and is declared by
critics TO he the greatest play in
which Gilbert has yet been cast.

After finishing high scaool at

200 miles north of Nome.
During the fall Of 1918 he en-
listed in the Navy at Seattle
and was transferred to San Diego,

study of radio and was soon trans

at Harvard, Mass, where he
finished the radio course.
During Mr.. Hickman's con-

transferred numerous times in the

where he spent many hours in the
air experimenting with aircraft
radio, Afterward he spent sew

after this time that he made his
experiments along the lire of
