Tone as Near Perfect as
Possible, Tests Show;
SeIeCtivity Good.
BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR

The new Fada sets are featuring
one of the outstanding radio
achievements of the year. This new
feature is known as vibra- control
and was adapted by Fada engineers
after many months OF research.
With advent of vibra-control, we are
able to hear radio programs just as
they are broadcast from the studios,
free from all vibrations.
The principle of vibra-control Is
sound engineering and is something
that we believe all radio manufac-
turers ultimately will adopt. Vibra-
control achieves one ultimate result
that all radio manufacturers have
been striving for, in that it gives as
near as possible a perfect tone, Tree
from all vibrations.
Vibration Eliminated
Vibra- control is the perfect CO.
ordination between the three prin-
cipal units of the receiver; namely,
the chassis, cabinet and speaker,
with these three units built in per-
feet harmony, Fada has eliminated
all vibrations and the voice and
music are received with clear, pure
undistorted tone,
Cabinets for the new Fada re
ceivers are built much in the same
manner as the sound board OF
piano. The chassis and speaker are
mounted and tuned to the cabinet.
Thus each set is as near acoustlcally
correct as it is possible to make it.
The new Fada receivers also en-
ploy screen-grid and the new 245
type power tubes in push-pull am
plification, which gives the set
ample power to receive distant sta
tions with practically local station
volume.
The Fada has excellent selectivity.
Stations are separated within ten
kilocycles. This set also is very
quiet, being free from A. c. hum and
background noise.
Many Stations Received
During the week this set was
tested, stations we're received with
excellent results from all parts OF
the country, including several west
coast stations. Prospective pur-
chasers of radio will find the Fada
very worthy of consideration. You
will enjoy its marvellous tone.
Fada receivers are distributed in
Indiana by the Gibson company,
Capitol avenue and Michigan street,
and are sold by the following
dealers; Lorner Radio and Electric
Shop, H. T. Radio Service, Old
Trails Radio Shop, o. j. Surber,

extra ttoasting' process applied in the manu-
facture of Lucky Strike Cigarettes. The finest
tobaccos-the Cream of the Crop-are scien-
tifcally subjected to penetrating heat at mini
mum, maximum, 3000, Fahrenheit. The

"It's Toasted" is recognized by millions as the

obsessed with the idea he was deficient

almost athletic in build and strength.
Gisin's body was found in swamp
in Oneida County. 1t lay across the
ashes of a brush heap and was badly
burned. The head was partly torn

There was everything to indicate tor

was Gisin and after his father had

NOVA SCOT|ANS
MINE GOLD

HALIFAX. March 7.-Mining Is
one of the chief lines of industrial
activity in Nova Scotia and coal
is the chief product; next to coal
comes gypsum. then salt. Iron
ore is no longer mined, having
been completely displaced in the
local iron industry by ore from
Newfoundland. The last few years,
however. have seen a marked re-
vival of interest in Nova Scotia
gold mines.
The Dominion's interior depart
ment in survey of the provinces

the greater part "of the coal output
comes from the Sydney field in
Cape Breton Island, which is not
only the largest in the province
but the most highly developed and
productive in the country.
Gold mining has had a distinct
revival in Nova Scotia during the
last few years. and operations are
reported on a dozen or more old
mines. Production. however. is still
limited t. few thousand ounces
annually. : There is a marked ten
dency toward the consolidation of

NONE ARE FOUND
IMMUNE To
COLDS

BALTIMORE, March 7. - Johns
Hopkins University medical scien'
lists. who for six months have been
studing the causes and duration Of
| the common cold. have deduced from
observations and tests made at. the
school Of hygiene that there is APP
parently no immunity from the
malady.
The work is being continued under
the direction of DR.. James A. Doull.
According to the observations made
of 181 medical student volunteers
who were infected, there appears to
be no link between frequency OF
colds and defects Of the nose and
throat. 1t was found that poor
breathing space probably affects the
duration of the cold.
Nasal obstruction and discharge
We're less frequent In the colds Of
January and December than those OF
the October.November period. while
headaches and general malaise were
more frequent in December and
January.
Some colds with fever did occur
during October and November, which
the observers say raises the question
whether these earlier feverish colds
were of a type different from those
of the epidemic, or whether they
were of the some type and merely
the earliest occurrences of epidemic
cases.

INDIAN Miners
LIKE HEAT

LONDON, March AT the Insti-
tuition Of Mining Engineers, David
Penman, principal Of the School of
Mines at Dhanbad, India, recently
read an important paper on the et-
feet of high temperatures on the
miner, according to the London
correspondent of The Journal of the
American Medical Association.
He states that the Indian collier
frequently W" 'ted in a mine with a
wet-bulb temperature OF IS Fahren.
heit. or even higher. Moreover, the
air in most of the working places in
Indian mines was practically still,
or at best very sluggish; yet the
miners worked apparently without
any Ill effects.
He likes a gallery in which the
temperature is, say, Is Fahrenheit,
better than one in which 1t is so.
Nor does he like II work in a strong
breeze. He wears practically no
clothing, whether the mine atmos-
rhere Is warm or cool: thus his whole
body is expos ID to the drying and
cooling action of the air. He also
works irregularly, remaining at work
about an hour. and then resting
in cooler place for Is minutes or
more
while actually at work he works
hard" the correspondent continues,
though probably not at the rate
Of the British collier. He is, as
rule. shorter in stature and of
much lighter build. and consequent.
ly expends less energy in physical
exertion.

LONDON NIGH
CLUBS ARE
CLOSING
BY }. C. OESTREICHER
International News Service

LONDON, March z I.N.S).-LOn
don's night life has gone to the
dogs.
AS a result of the strenuous
police activity which followed the
conviction of Mrs. Kate Meyrick
the so.called queen" of London's
night life, along with a police
sergeant on charges of bribery and
corruption, fully half of the city's
most popular night clubs and caba.
rets have been forced to close down
by lack of business. Those, that
are still running are faced with
failure.
Curiew Enforcement
Enforcement of the curfew law
demanding that no liquor be sold
after IL o'clock at night Is the
chief cause of the debacle. In
times past the law has been openly
Haunted, for, obviously no one
wanted to go to a night club much
before IL O'Clock and no one wanted
to go unless drinks were easily
Restaurant keepers and night
club proprietors however. have been
thrown into panic by the severe
sentence of Is months hard labor
melted out to Mrs. Meyrick, and
they are fearful of duplicating her
offenses. AS a consequence, all
visitors to night clubs are informed
that no intoxicating beverages are
available after the curfew hour,
with the result that customers have
walked out en- masse.
Situation Temporary
The present situation is regarded
as a temporary one, and it is an
ticipated that as soon as the Mey-
rick scandal has blown over. many
of the clubs will reopen.
The proprietors undoubtedly will
find the temptation of successful
sales of champagne ar $40 and sis
a bottle too attractive a lure to dis
regard.
But in the meantime, London rolls
up its sidewalks soon after mid
night. and the former center of its
hectic night life is as deserted as a
tomb.
