Now on the stage Of the Circle 10
winners Of Mai BoWes' radio show
are appearing. The idea Of giving
talented people a chance to appear
on the stage really makes the audi
ence Wild with applause and appre-
citation
From a strictly critical view point
there are four winners in this group,
people having a splendid opportun-
ity OF going forward on the stage
and on the air.
They are Vivian Barlow, mper-
senator Of stage and screen stars;
Joseph Rogato, the garbage man
with a tenor voice; the University
Of Missouri. made up Of four fra
ternity men. and Harvey Mearns,
who has made many strange musl-
cal Instruments which he plays.
These young people have real tai
ent and above all they have per-
sonality. I consider Miss Barlow
the most gifted because she has
written her own sketch, in which
she skilfully and accurately imper-
sonates Greta Carlo. Zasu Pitts, w.
C. Fields and others.
These four to whom I have given
special mention have used their
spare time TO develop their talents
while working and making a living.
From a strictly popular stand
point, the Oklahoma Mustang
Wranglers from New jersey are
easy audience winners. They have
the material and the shOwmanship

Indy Light TO
Be INSTALLED AT
BISMARCK AIRPORT
Hughes Gives Huge Beacon to
City; Other Improvements
Are Under Way

Extensive improvements to Bis
marck's municipal airport in order tt
make 1t conform In all respects tx
department Of commerce regulations
have been ordered and already are
under way It was announced Friday
BY M. H. Atkinson. city auditor and
airport manager.
Chief Of the new improvements is
erection at the municipal field of the
Indy Light which soon will be taken
from the top Of the Prince Hotel and
erected at the field.
The Light, installed seven years age
It . cost reported to be 5000 will be
altered slightly to meet the specific
atoms Of the federal government. II
will serve Is q beacon for night filters
and serve to indicate the position Of
the Bismarck field.
The beacon was donated to the
city by =. A. Hughes, owner Of the
Prince hotel building, by whom il
was originally erected. The work Of
moving 1t to its new location will
begin in the near future.
In addition to the beacon light
border lights are being installed to-
gether with obstruction lights and
flood lights to illuminate the run
ways. All Of this equipment will be
controlled from q panel In the Of
fices Of the Northwest Anyways sta
ton at the field.
Probable extension Of night flying
by the Northwest Anyways made 1t
necessary that immediate action be
taken to prepare the local field for
night use, 1t was said.

L. 8. DeLong, operation manager
for Northwest Anyways, inspected the
new layout Thursday and gave it his
approval. He also said that, under

planes now being used Is enough to
keep It In the air and bring it to an
airport where It can land safely.
