All Key Clicks Al
NAY Are Eliminated
After Experiments

B: L. Jarvis, the officer in charge
OF the local naval radio station. n
nounces the absolute elimination of
key clicks" which have heretofore
lnterferred with radio reception to
local radio fans.
This result has been ACCOMPLISHED
by extensive experiments on the
part of the personnel of the local
station. which was ACCOMPLISHED
With the use of resistances, choke
coils and capacities in KEY circuit
across all relays.
The "Harmonics" (Which is the
actual wave transmitter) has been
Sharpened to such an extent that
unless the radio fans tune sharply
Tor the harmonic it will not be
heard. However, the officer in
charge states he hopes to further
eliminate the harmonics as time
permits for grounding everything
possible that could cause such dis
turbance.
1t is stated that at times the ma
val radio station is compelled tn
pull the power main coming from
the city due to city interference at
the radio station, and Mr.. Jarvis
hopes the city will soon do some
thing to decrease their interference
which is so bad as to blanket the
receiver in some sections Of the city.

TO STRAICHTEN
MILITARY ROAD
Engineers Propose to Cut
Distance Through Zapa-
ia County S Miles

The distance on the military road
between Roma and Laredo will be
reduced approximately 5 miles, &C
cording to plans of state highway
engineers who are running a new
line through zapata county.
The present road follows the line
of least resistance, engineers state,
and with comparatively little ex-
pense it can be Strengthened. The
plan of the department does not
interfere with the bridge building
program inaugurated by the county
which will erect bridges over the
gulches, which are impossible dur
ing rainy periods.
No definite plans have been an
.nounced by the department rela-
tive to grading or ~surfacing the
road through zapata county. AT
the last meeting of the state high
way commission the contract for
grading and structures from Roma
to the Zapata county section will be
awarded at an early date.
Reports from Nueces, Kleberg and
Willacy counties indicate that the
old proposal of a five-county dis
trict to provide part of the funds
for a highway across Kennedy coun-
ty may be revived, due to the fall
ure of the legislature to submit the
proposed state highway bond
amendment. It is understood that
this proposal will be placed before
the state highway commission at an
early date.
The entire hug-the-coast high
way from Brownsville to Houston
has been paved or financed with the
exception of the kennedy county
gap, and proponents of this high
way, which would provide the Valley
with a second paved outlet. assert
that the Kennedy county section can
not be financed unles the counties

HOOVER PLANS
QUIET EASTER
First Holiday Spoiled AS
Rain Hats Saturday
Trip to Virginia

WASHINGTON, March 30.-(P1-
Quietly and with all regard for the
Quaker'S avoidance of display and
ostentation, President Hoover to-
morrow will observe the first Easter
Sunday of his stay in the White
House. The day will be one OF
rest and relaxation.
With Mrs. Hoover he will motor
in the morning to the Little Friends
house to participate in the simple
worship of his faith.
The service will contrast sharply
with those of other churches OF
the national capital with their Eas-
ter decorations, vested choirs and
freverberating organ music. 1t will
consist of prayer, a sermon by Mr.,
Hoover'S old friend, Augustus Muir
ray of Palo Alto, and a few hymns
accompanied only by a piano.
After services, the president will
return to the White House for Sun
day dinner and the afternoon will be
spent in relaxation and possibly a
motor trip into adjacent Maryland
or Virginia.

day in plans for his first Holiday
since he became chief executive.
Arrangements had been made for
an old-fashioned picnic in the hills
OF Virginia, 80 miles away, at the
presidents fishing preserve on the
Rapidan river.
But on arising this morning, the
chief executive found the weather
SO unfavorable that the trip was out
OF the question. A dismal drizzle
was falling which changed intermit-
tently to hail and sleet and Mr..
Hoover at once called off the picnic
and spent the day at his desk.
Following an old White House
tradition, the south grounds of the
executive mansion will be opened
Monday morning to the children of
the city for the annual Easter Mon
day egg rolling.

1t is a striking fact that the Eighteenth

No amendment to the Constitution ever had
such large vote in Congress, was ratified by
so many state legislatures, or was ratified in so
short time. We have every reason to think
that the American people meant business
against the liquor evil and that they mean bust

For the necessary changes in the enforce

Hoover says. Therefore, have suggested
Congressional Committee to find out what is
the matter with the working Of our enforce
