. ■ • * - .«»i 1 iiij i ■ — Radio Radio reception of voice and music has been sweeping the country, several millions of receiving sets having already been installed. To the average purchaser of a radio set. the fact that he can get concerts. lectures has appealed to him almost as a miracle. Then there are persons who are interested in radio, but they have become critical, they are demanding a receiver more efficient than the average set they have heard. Radio is a science new and unknown to the average prospective purchaser of a radio set. and therefore he is not posted sufficiently to know what to demand of a receiving set. Here are given qualities which a first class receiving circuit should possess: RANGE Transcontinental loud speaker reception is very desirable and appreciated. SELECTIVITY The ability to exclude at will stations not wanted and to hold by sharp tuning the station desired. EASE OF CONTROL As few controls and none very critical are desirable. VOLUME A set should give sufficient volume on loud speaker which employs no extra battery or amplification, so that distant stations can be easily and clearly heard in your home. PURITY OF TONE This is the most important quality to be insisted upon of a receiving set. The average receiver is subject to distortion, and due to regeneration is subject to howls and squeals when tuning which is very undesirable. By using a lived crystal detector greatly improved purity of reproduction with a total absence of parasitic noises and distortion can be obtained. We can supply you with an assembled set which possesses the qualities above listed and at a reasonable price. W e will gladly demonstrate this set and prove these claims. If interested in building such a set come in and obtain a bulletin describing it free of charge. Before buying get our prices on sets completely installed. H. Knapp & Son

United Press Correspondent! Washington. Jan. 24 House democrats wielded the whip in the drive for tax reductions. I With republicans split on the Mellon plan and desperately seeking a compromise, democratic hopes are high for forcing acceptance of the. plan of Representative Garner, Texas, democrat. Having won a stragetlc victory, democratic leaders cay they will nut f budge from the 44 per cent surtax maximum movement in the democratic plan. They believe the progressives will rally to it rather than support the Mellon plan, with its 25 per cent surtax maximum. Despite the determined stand of the democrats, republican leaders indicated that negotiations for a coinpro-, mise were still in progress. They are confident the democrats will accept' a lower rate rather than -be placed in a position of blocking tax reduction. 0 Peter Ixische. of east of the city, was here this afternono on business.!
