Recently q controversy has started
between the followers of Rudy Vallee's
crooners and those of Phil Osborne.
This static among listeners Il don't be-
lieVe the two artists have taken q part
in it themSelves) seems to be over who
originated the soft-and-low method OF
harmoniZing.
Really what difference does it make?
I, for one, do not believe that either
aped the other. So, in my opinion, the
only important matter is which one is
better.
Unquestionably both Of them are
good, and any orchestra would improve
itself If it took up their way of singing.
Real harmony must be soft and low,
and therefore back in prehistoric times
probably, there existed a singer and
some makeshift orchestra that both
Vallee and Osborne are copying.
But, which one of the present-day
favorites excells, I don't think can be
answered. You can't tell them apart,

Baby Versus Loudspeaker.

baDy versus LOuuSpeakers
Radio Editor:
want to lay my trying story before
you in the hope that perhaps you can
give me some sadly needed and hoped
trying situation, and radio has a part
in all this.
You see. Mr.. Editor, my unknown
but nearest apartment neighbor, resid-
ing one floor level closer to heaven than
l. mas radio with/a mighty and prob
ably magnificent Loud Speaker (please
| use capital letters.).
Now you may think you have guessed
my trouble, but, in fact, you have yet
but heard the half of it.
My neighbor most surely has a radio
with a mighty. booming voice, but to
be fair I must add that I have a small
son with a mighty pair of lungs, strong
vocal cords, and he uses them, on
occasions.
Still. feel that I have some reason
for cry for help My son sleeps peace
fully ali night, once he is persuaded to
go to sleep, and this is normally about
$50 pm. daily. He Is year old you
see. So my nearest neighbor, one floor
removed, does have respite from his
voice.
But I, alas, get little rest from that
mighty radio speaker, and my poor,
distracted wife gets even less relief, for
1 work daytimes, and she is working.
too, but at home, keeping an eye on
that youngster of ours.
My neighbor's wife apparently hates
music, so she tunes in with terrifying
accuracy on all the radio speakers who
talk about horticulture, beauty culture,
the early shopping movement Of the
| merchants of this city, on why we
! should have an airport, etc. know
them all, because we in the neither re-
gions of our lower floor can hear
them all.
Now and my good wife hate to hear
radio speeches, and heretofore never
have INDUCED, until my neighbor above
brought radio Oh, woeful day
Listen: That neighbor Of ours had that
radio a-talking all day long and untfl
pm when she went to bed. You
have that on my wife's solemn oath.
How that neighbor stands all that
racket in her apartment is beyond me.

CHICAGO, December when man

upon himself the solution Of a real prob
lem OF his own making
It Is the conQuering Of "manmade"

While man has not made much prog
ress in the drive against atmospheric

Motor Great Offender.
Probably the greatest offender is the
motor, which takes many guises in
household appliances. 1t is used to drive
vacuum cleaners, washing machines ice
boxes, oil heaters and Whatnot. Most of
the trouble comes from sparkling
brushes, whose blue discharge registers

Of humlike clicks
Any electric device that sparks wher-
ever contact is made, such as the turn
ing on and on OF light, completes the
list.
Naturally, with the AC receiver con-
nected directly to the house lighting cir
cult, disturbances will register easier
than with the battery set. Not ONLY are
clicks and crashes that develop within
the house translated into sound, but
similar interference will come from out
side sources. Even automobiles with
FAULTY Ignition systems will register as
they pass the house
Engineers have tackled the problem
by developing electric filters. In the
Leslie F. Muter laboratories, as well as
elsewhere, two types of interference
elimtnatorS have been tried out. One
consists of two heavy-duty condensers.
with the center point grounded, to be
connected across the line furnishing
power to the receiver.
Choke Coils and COndensers.
Another contains choke coils in addi-
ton to the condenserS to give greater
nltering action. Its purpose is to block
interference from motors and the like
and is placed either in the set power
line or connected to the apparatus caus-
ing the trouble.
Such devices are designed to cover
approximately 80 per cent of the dis
turbances. However the filtering action

average household show them to be of
value in mufning and reducing noises.
AS more OF the novelty of owning
receiver without batteries "to fool with"
wears OF, the listener probably will de-
mand click-free reception. 1t will then
be up to the set manufacturer to con-
slider the insertion of a noise filter lust

1929 SESSION LAWS
COMING OUT IN BOOK
Volumes Bound IN Paper and
More Durable Form Now in
Process of Printing

Barristers of the state soon will
have a copy Of the laws passed at the
last legislative session.
The volumes, bound in paper or in a
more durable material, arc on the
presses and will be available for dis
tribution in the near future, according
to Secretary of State Robert Byrne.
Some delay has been caused this
year by the fact that the paper
backed copy of the session laws must
be just as complete and as well in
dexed as the permanent copies.
In the old days the secretary of
state could comply with the law by
simply bundling together bills passed
by the legislature and sending them
to the printer. Now, however, it is
different.
In 1925 a law was passed which re-
quires the papcr-bound copies to be
authenticated" or the same basis as
the permanent ones. The result was to
delay publication Of the popular"
edition until the permanent volume
was ready. Although the price has
not been determined. the paper
backed volume probably will cost IS
cents.
Byrne wants to get them out before
July ! when most of the laws passed
at the last session will become cffcc-
tive.

For Old Apple Tree

Durham. N. H.. June 14.-lAP)-A
stick of dynamite may be the best
treatment for old apple trees. says H.
c. Woodwork, agricultural economist
Of the University Of New Hampshire
experiment station.
Old trees in poor condition. he
says. require several years Of skillful
work to bring into bearing. Even
then they are still old. soon will de-
cline in production and be of doubt
full commercial value.
He believes it may be better to
remove old trees and replace them
with new and vigorous growth. In
time, he observes. it may be found
that old trees will have to be dis
cardcd to a greater extent than ever
before.
