Q Heating Stove “Tunes In” Radio Concert Hartford City, Feb. 27. —There are radio stories and then there are radio stories, but Hartford City has produced the most unique one to date. Unique because it is unique. Unique because it is true. Recently the family of Alfred Marshall, south Spring street, were gathered about the stove. It was a winter’s evening, and the stove was a pleasant thing to gather about. Suddenly there floated into that peaceful scene, music, evidently played by an orchestra. Members of the family looked at one another askance. Were they "hearing things?" No, it was true—everyone present distinctly heard tha music, which lasted for about 20 min utes. At the completion of the con cert, there was a blurred sound, ar if a man was announcing the next number, but it was not clear enough to be understood. The thing has not happened since, but radio enthusiasts of the community who heard of the incident, are advancing all kind of theories to account for it. There is a gas pipe back of the stove, and some believe that in some way the gas pipe caught the radio waves, and furnished the concert Others believe that it came down the chimney, and that the music actual ly came from the stove. At any rate the music was there. Everyone present will vouch for that. Can anyone explain the matter satis factorlly? — - O Dr. Mattax Breaks Right Arm In Fall Dr. L. L. Mai tax. Adams county coroner and a prominent resident o! Geneva, suffered a fracture of hl right arm near the shoulder at thr same place where it was fractured several years ago, when he slipped and fell on icy sidewalks in Fort Wayni last Thursday. Dr. Mattax spent a tew days in the St. Joseph hospital irf Fort Wayne. He was enrouto to the hospital from ths iuterurbui station when the accident occured. — o— l French Franc Takes Sudden Slump Today Paris.

Field Goals ' by “Eagle Eye” Pete Have you purchased your season tickets yet. If not do so before Thursday night. There was a bewildered bunch of basketball' players :>n" the’Fort Wayne G. E. team last night, when the local G. E. eagers began dropping in field goals in rapid order and crept up to within one point of the load of Fort Wayne in the second half last night. That second half drive almost won the game for Decatur. / Had it not been for the ragged de sense of the locals in the early part of the first half last night the first victory o the series might have been credited to Decater. Mark up another win for Coach Corner's Blue and White eagers. They trounced Geneva's best again last night. 36-27. Mike Nyikos, ex-lndiana University star and leading scorer In the Big Ten until his low scholastic standing forced him off the Crimson team, will perform in Huntington this evening with the South Bend Y against the Huntington Legion.
