W. {. I. U. Celebrates
Prohibition Anniversary

The local chapter of the W. c. t t. u
church last Thursday evening, cele-
brating the tenth anniversary of the
adoption of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the federal constitution.
The tables were beautifully decor
ated, the white rihbon-emblem of
the W. c. T. U.-predominating in
the color scheme, and white candles
being used for lighting. A very
unique feature of the table decoration
was center piece consisting of a
doll representing the Eighteenth
amendment, holding the Stars and
Stripes in one hand, and banner on
which was written, "Ten years in the
constitution and I'm there to stay"
in the other. Place cards tied with
the white ribbon were also used.
The invocation was given by Miss
N. Pearl Lewis.
Mrs. A. c. Herbst, former state
president of the organization, proved
herself very gracious toast mistress,
being introduced as such by the local
president, Mrs. J. H. Fowler.
After the response of the toast mis-
tress to Mrs. Fowler's introduction,
in which the standard bearer of the
center piece figured quite prominent
~, Miss Antonio Grandjean responded
to a request for review Of ten
years of prohibition" Miss Grandjean
made out very strong case for pro-
hibition by citing conclusive Stats
tics and personal observation of con-
ditions before and after" Following
this interesting review Rev. and Mrs.
r. F. Wick sang two duets, the first
being a W. C. T. u. song in which
they improvised words to suit the
occasion, and the second a sacred
number, 10 Master Let Me Walk
With Thee" Mr.. Green, Libby chief
Of police, gave very interesting and
informative talk on Law Enforce
ment in our Community" and Judge
]. H. Haigler also responded with a
brief, impromtu talk. Rev. R. F. Wick,
substituting for a speaker not pres
ent spoke on the subject Prohibition
Community Asset in which he
pointed out that prohibition is not
new thing in the affairs Of man
kind, but has on the contrary, al
ways been inseparable from human
government in the restriction of evil
influences, and that it's application to
the liquor traffic is merely the at
tempt of an enlightened society to
loosen the tentacles of the monster
octupus which has been the direct,
or indirect, cause of more human suf-
fering and sorrow, misery and woe,
more heart ache and heart break,
more broken homes and lives, and
more restitution and death than any
other one agency in the world.
Mrs. ]. H. Fowler concluded the pro-
gram with splendid address on the
subject, Eternal Vigilance the Price
Of Prohibition" The standard bearer
of the center piece again came into
prominence as Mrs. Fowler cleverly
referred to him as the much maligned
child whom the "wets" have con-
tinually attempted to besmirch with
the stigma of illegitimacy, in spite
of his disarmingly frank, innocent
expression and clean record
The serving Of the banquet was in
terspersed with spirited singing of
W. c. T. U. songs by all present,
which added greatly to thee enjoy
ment of the evening. n

100000 WATTS GOAL
OF STATION KDKA NOW
Engineers Experimenting With
20O, OOO-Watt Tubes for After
Midnight Superpower Tests.

Broadcasting power in excess Of
100000 watts Is the ultimate goal of
Station KDKA, whose engineers are
now conducting experiments with the
new 00,000-watt Westinghouse tubes
In the expectation Of going on the air
shortly in q series Of after midnight
tests with superpower.
Station KDKA's experimental license
from the Federal Radio Commission au-
thoriSes the use Of up to 100000 watts
IN the series Of experiments. This will
require the use Of two Of the giant
200, 000-watt tubes, each Of which stands
six feet in height and each Of which
requires the passage of five tons Of
cool water through their water jackets
every hour.
It is learned on reliable authority,
however, that the Westinghouse en-
gineers are arranging the plant Of
KDKA so that six of the giant tubes
may ultimately be used, which would
give the station an output Of 1900, 900
watts-the highest power ever at
tempted on either the broadcasting or
communications wave lengths.

Joy Finds Joy in His Work.
TAKE a look at all the orchestra
leaders who mount the radio ros-
trums, and of them all you'd pick Leon
ard Joy as the born and bred city man.
Dressed always in perfect taste, and
groomed within an inch of his life. he
has o smartnesS about him that you'd
say couldn't have been acquired except
by practice from youth. And his all
string dance orchestra is just about the
smoothest thing of its kind on the air.
Folks seem to take to It when they get
bored with the more obvious rhythmS
and effects of most dance groups.
But, as a matter of fact. Joy comes
from the little village of Hartland. VT
When he wasn't so very much younger
than he Is now he used to show up at
the towns dance hall every week for
store, and the townfolk and the farmers
from nearby used to congregate there
for dances.
Len was always on hand to call of"
for the square dances and to conduct
his orchestra. He really didn't do much
conducting, for there were only three
pieces and Joy himself had to play the
cornet. There were also piano and O
fiddle. They used to serve oyster stew
at the intermissions. and the biggest
men in town were always made floor
managers. In New York night club
they'd call them bouncers. While their
ostensible job was to arrange the cou-
pies for the square dances. they also
had to keep an eye on the lads who
had had an extra snort of hard cider. =
Len went back to Hartland recently
and found the old dance hall still In
use. but 1t isn't the same. There aren't
any more square dances and the latest
crop Of young blades hasn't learned to
call on" Turkey In the Straw" and
Money Musk" are heard no more. The
seven-piece band that plays for today's
dances gets the latest tunes from the
radio. And Joy, who's still too young
TO have wrinkles, shakes his head sol-
EMMY and bemoans the passing of the
good old days-that Is. until he grips a
baton. Then he's modern to his toes.
