LOS ANGELES, March 6.-LP)-
The Los Angeles automobile show,
composed of 800 cars, several air
planes and motor boats, was in
ruins today after a fire which swept
the four large tents in which it
was housed. Loss was estimated at
$1,250,0 00.
About $500 persons who were in
the tents when the fire broke out
yesterday left quietly while the or

Tn cause Of the fire was thought
to have been sparks from an elec-
trio circuit or flame from the ex-
haust of an airplane motor. The
wings OF a plane first caught fire
and the flames soon consumed one
of the tents and spread to the 9TH

of 48 per cent of this 81 per cent was
gone when the company inspector made
the investigation.
Some Shun Complaints
Most OF the large power companies of
the country will have nothing to do with
radio complaints" Mr.. Van Denburg said.
"All such work is handled by the radio
companies themselves or through a radio
club.
Great Falls should have a radio club
to take care Of the work now handled by
the power company which would do away
with these expensive surveys. Each in
vestigation has cost the company be-
tween $50 and $3.50. While the radio
fans of the city lave CO operated with
us in this work, the radio dealers would
not cooperate to any extent"
Mr.. Van Denburg old Of a case near
The Tribune building last year in which
the circuit to The Tribune building was
cut of entirely for a short time to de-
termine If the static or interference orig
mated there. AS this had no effect upon
the static, the wires to each residence for
two blocks were cut and when near the
end OF the line, it was discovered that an
electric heating pad was being used by
one resident and when this wire was
clipped, the interference Immediately
stopped. This had affected radios for a
distance OF 10 docks.
Transformers Not Guilty
"At least 95 per cent Of the complaints
blame the transformers of the company
for the interference" he said. TT might
be of interest to know that the trans
formers are the best friends OF the radio
fans for they tend to choke down the in
reference rather than u 1t.
I'VE will continue our work OF check
ing complaints and II necessary place
more men in the field for this purpose
alone. We now have one man in Great
Falls who does nothing else but answer
complaints Of radio owners and trace
down, If possible, The source OF inter
ference"
Mr.. Van Denburg said the company
had had complaints that street cars were
causing radio trouble and to assure the
radio fans that this would be remedied,
all cars that eemed In any way to be
causing interference were placed in the
shops for overhauling.
Automatic stokers In O numbe OF
apartment houses n oil burners were
also given as sources OF radio interior
ence. The telephone dialing system AT
fects radio reception, according to Mr..
Van Denburg. but this can not be easily

WILD ANIMALS
ARE PROTECTED
REPORT OF FEDERAL DEPARTMENT
SHOWS THAT SPECIES ONCE
DOOMED ARE GAINING

The department Of the interior re-
ports progress In preserving big game.
This has been brought about by ma
tiOnal parks of the west. The depart
ment says that many of these animals
were threatened with extinction but
"are shown by the 1928 census to be
in most cases, ~abundantly re-estab-
lished, while none Is now threatened
by determinations"
TIL report says, in part:
Among outstanding examples OF the
effect of wild life conservation In ma
tional parks are in buffaloes and ante
lopes Of Yellowstone park. These two
species, which once roamed the plains In
countless numbers, had almost disap-
peared, when public interest In their
preservation awoke M intelligent efforts
were made to give them adequate pro-
lection, resulting in the present interest
ing park herds. The buffalo herd grew
so large that 1t was found necessary
several years & to take definite steps
to reduce it. Authority was obtained
from congress to dispose OF live animals
TO geological gardens and public and
private game preserves and also to slaugh-
ter excess steers for market purposes un-
der certain specified regulations. 1t is the
endeavor to keep the Yellowstone buffalo
herd down to l 900, the maximum num-
Der that can be handled adequately in
the park under present range conditions.
1.-The Yellowstone antelope herd. which
ranges in the northern part OF the park
in the vicinity of the Gardiner entrance,
has grown to 625 animals.
Perhaps among the most popular Of
the park animals are deer and black
bears, both of Which contribute greatly
to the enjoyment of visitors. The 1923
census shows $3.50 mule deer in Yellow
stone, Rocky Mountain, Grand Canyon
and Glacier parks, n 2,372 white tail
deer in Glacier and Mount Rainier parks.
Mountain sheep total 51,734, $4,000 OF
which range with caribou in Mount Nc
Kinley park, with the rest forming nuclei
that promise to grow in such parks as
Glacier. Thus is a rare and quaint type
OF animal saved from extinction.
THE majority of the elks are in or
around Yellowstone park and concerted
efforts have been made by government
and state officials and private individ-
uals to provide adequate range for these
animals. During the first session OF the
10th congress legislation was enacted au-
thorizing an appropriation of $4,000 to
carry out the provisions Of a previous
act to make additions to the Absaroka
and Ga1latin forests, bordering Yellow
stone park.
mo survey Of game in national parks
would be complete without mention OF
moose which are u in Yellowstone
and Mckinley parks and a few in Glacier.
These animals are not seen by visitors
as often as some Of the other species, al
though 1t happened in Yellowstone last
summer that they were seen by nearly
all visitors. They are believed to be be-
tween 700 and 800 moose in these three
parks"

4 S a result Of an address given by Earl
II Van Denburg. engineer for the Mon
a tana Power company, on the caus
AND possible cure of radio interference in
Great Falls, the Great Falls chapter OF
the United Commercial Travellers OF
America has voted to sponsor the organi-
cation Of a city radio club.
A motion was made and passed invit-
ing all radio dealers to Great Falls to
another meeting when Mr.. Van Denburg
will again explain the sources OF inter
ference and at that time the club will
lay it's plans before the dealers and en-
courage their cooperation In the forma-
ton OF an organization OF radio fans.
Lamps Cause Trouble
MIR. Van Denburg declared the greatest
offender of radio in Great Falls at the
present time Is the ordinary electric
lamp. When this globe is Jared or when
1t becomes old, 1t disintegrates and
causes a vibrating sound which makes a
click in the radio. There were 100, 900
of these lamps sold in 1928, or an aver
age Of $50 a day, he said. Presenting
that half OF the daily consumption
burned out and half accidentally broken,
the static would be immense.
The electric heating pad was given as
the second greatest source of interfer-
ence, there now being more thar 100 in
use in the city, replacing the old hot
water bottle. Mr.. Van Denburg said he
had yet to find q pad that would not
cause interference and the older they get
the worse they become, running radio re
ception for blocks. He explained this
by the fact hat the heat of the pad is
regulated through a thermostat, which
expands or contracts continually and
each time throws off a buzzing sound.
Electric Irons Also
Electric irons used by 1000 families in
the city also cause interference. A sur
vey made by the power company two
years ago showed that 80 per cent OF the
ironing was lone in the evenings and
that so per cent of the irons In use q
year or more had loosened contact which
seriously affected radio reception.
Flash lamps and changeable signs were
also listed as possible sources OF inter
ference by Mr.. Van Denburg. While the
large signs used by the theaters and
other concerns are operated by IN indi-
vidual system, there are a large number
OF small flashing signs that materially
affect radios, he said.
In q survey made by the company a
wear ago, 1t was found that 3 per cent OF
the complaints made were traccable to
the lines OF the company n that 81

GERMANY LIKES
BRAND SCHEME
Thinks u. S. of Europe Is
Economic Answer.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. Gin an i'm
portant speech before the League
assembly today, Gustav Stresemann,
the German foreign minister de-
clared himself strongly in favor Of
Premier Aristide Brands idea of a
United States of Europe"
Stresemann welcomed the plan Of
economic unification for the Euro
pean nations as a necessary solution
of the state of chaos and strife to
which the continental countries are
exposed because Of internal and
external conditions. He suggested
that under Brands plan Of unfit
cation, the governments of Europe
could adopt a single system of coins
and Pan-European postage stamps.
Stresemann's declarations in favor
of the plan came as great surprise
to many observers who believed few
government would swing behind
BRAND openly on the proposal for
fear of arousing the disfavor Of the
United States. Depending upon
America for capital, it was not
thought they would enter readily
into a combine, the effect of which
would be to fight off the progress
sive invasion of Europe by Amer
lean commercial interests.
Stresemann's bold declaration
was expected to encourage other
countries to follow. In response to
Premier Brands invitation, twenty
seven leaders of European govern
ments were prepared today to hear
him expound in detail his project
for the organization of the states
of Europe into an economic union.
