In continuation of the previous
article on local radio interference
IL may be said that all the electrical
appliances used in the hor., are
prolific interference producers I'm
less properly maintained and pro-
tgeesd against 1t.
Interference can generally be re-
duced or eliminated when the
source is determined. Experience is
an efficient teacher Of this subject.
Manufacturers have developed
many electric appliances that are
free from interference production.
These articles may cost more. but
in the radio home they will prove
much more satisfactory.
The nature OF telephone COM
munication Is such that interference
which affects your radio set will
generally affect the communication
system. The answer. obviously. Is
a quick remedy of conditions by the
telephone company.
Telephone dialing systems now
coming into general use. do not
cause continuous interference. Prob
ably a remedy is now underway TO
eliminate the intermittent Interior
encc they produce.
Every X-ray machine. electric
diathermy apparatus and high fire.
quency apparatus does not always
produce interference. The phy5i-
clan who realizes that interference
is originating with his equipment Is
quite likely to want IL corrected inn
mediately, for the good will of his
local practice.
II a filter is used. be sure the
~condensers exceed. in working volt
age, twice the voltage of the lines
across which the condenser is used.
The inductance or choke coil used
should be wound with the proper
size of wire.
Never attempt any interference
protection unless properly author
lied and instructed by a competent
service man or power company rep
rescrtative. Due caution here Will
save much inconvenience and pos
sible injury or loss Of life.
All service men dealing with in
reference problems are conscien-
tious but may make mistakes in
analyzing the source Of interference.
The very character Of radio and
electricity with its daily changes III

sarily a business requiring a wealth

Now that we have covered inter-
ference in an elementary way for
the lay radio enthusiast, perhaps the
more advanced radio enthusiast
might be considered.
II has been suggested. heretofore,
that the primary difficulty in in

WOULD MAKE ROOM
FOR ATHLETICS

Purchase Of fifteen or more acres
in the old fair ground tract at
Stewart and Fifth streets for use
as a high school building site is
a possibility being discussed in Of
fetal circles in this city.
The city council is expected to
take up this matter at its meeting
Monday, said o. K. Adcock, OF the
Board of Education today.
The school district already owns
two blocks near the present school
buildings, but this land is not
enough to give room for the kind
OF campus Las Vegas High
School is going to need, said
Adcock,
Athletic grounds should adjoin
the new high school building, for
physical education is part OF the
educational program nowadays, he
said. Then, too, there ought to be
enough room for later expansion
by the construction of new build
ingS as Las Vegas grows.

MAYOR MAKES

FIRST ROUND OF FIGHT
AGAINST RECALL

Apparent Lack of interest In
details of the progress of the
recall proceedings being push
ed against him was shown to-
day by Mayor Hesse when ask
ed for statement in regard
to Judge H. w. Edwards de-
cisiOn in favor of the relators
who seek his recall from the
mayoralty.
''The case is in the hands of the
lawyers, and I don't know any
thing about the deails," said the
Mayor today. Il have no statement
to make"
Definite Enough"
The judges decision favored the
REALTORS on all but one point. The
most important point in the de-
murrer was the contention of the
defendants that the state constitu-
ton does not charge the city clerk
specifically with the duty Of calling
the special election demanded by
the petition. Judge Edwards found
that Section 9 of Article II of the
Nevada constitution provided def
initely enough that it is the city
clerks duty to call a special elec-
ton If a petition with the requir-
ed signatures be delivered to him
Statutes Quoted
Every public officer In Nevada
is subject to recall, according to
the statute. The recall petition
must be filed with the officer with
whom q petition for nomination to
such office Is required to be filed
Should the officer whose recall Is
sought refuse to resign, a special
eelction must be ordered held with
in 20 days, ballots must be printed
and other candidates may be NOM
mated, the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes being con-
sidered elected.
Following failure of City Clerk
William L. Scott to call q special
election after submission Of a peti-
ton to him, a writ of mandamus
was issued January % commanding
the mayor. city clerk and city
council to hold a special election
On February 4 the edmurrer was

MILLER CITES
DAM BENEFITS

Las Vegas is destined to be a
Henver of the Southwest, Lee o.
Miller, general sales manager of
the John P. Mills Organization
told an audience of $50 last night
at a meeting of employees and
friends of the organization at its
office.
Just as the cheap power gener-
ated at hte Keokuk Dam caused
the shifting of the shoe industry
from Massachusetts, to St. Louis,
with the resulting great growth of
that city, so the power generated
after the building of Boulder Dam
will make possible the development
of the tremendous mineral re-
sources in this vicinity" he said.
For this section is acknowledged
by the U. S. Geological Survey as
one of the most wealthy in miner
al resources in the country"
Various electro-chemical indus
tries, he stated, are bound to move
near the base of power and the
source of raw material supply.
A similar meeting, open to the
public, will be held next week, ac-
cording to Miller.
