. ■ . — -- - the educational value of a radio re | ' eeiver. to the handful of whites and | 'Eskimaux comprising the population I of this remote Yukon settlement, is i tremendous. This reebiver was installed primarily to provide the same educational advantages now enjoyed by the children of the states. According to Miss Inez Moore, sole teacher at this seat of learning maintained by the Department of the Interior, the value of the radio set cannot be properly estimated. The letter which brought the last news of the schoolhouse radio entertainments was two months in reaching F. A. D. i Andrea. manufacturers of the receiv- ' ing set which has transformed life in this far off community. Miss Moore writes: "Your one-hour musical program given through station WTAS last I night, March G, came in clear as a ' bell. i ‘Wo are using a 100-foot single strand copper ayrial. 45 feet above the 'ground and a three-foot galvanized plate buried G feet below the ground. • “Since October 1. 1924. when the FADA receiver was first installed there have been but two nights that we could not hear KGO on the loudspeaker. We have had KDKA and WGY on the loud speaker several evenings during the winter."

Coach Dean's nine went to DePattw this afternoon for its second game of the season with the Tigers and will entertain the Little Giant aggregation at Bloomington Thursday. A game with Nortwestern at Evanston Saturday afternoon will complete the week for the Hoosier batsmen. Indiana's chances to claim a state title largely depend on the two games this week with DePauw and Wabash. DePauw was easily defeated a tßloomington in the season's opener 6-3 and should not be difficult for the Deanmen. Wabash has been fcoing at a fast clip behind Robertson on the mound and will come to Bloomington eager to avenge last fall's football defeat. Nortwestern has failed to show more than occasional flashes of good baseball in any of its games. Indiana scored almost at will in two pitchers in the game here two weeks ago. Only one more conference game will he played away from home after the Northwestern contest, with Purdue Juite 6. ler who Coach Vogel of lowa declared was the best college hurler he had l ever seen, will be used in the DePauw I gam an against Northwestern. Either Hord or Link will be called on in the Wabash game. — o — Memorial Day Races Will Be Broadcast Indianapolis, Ind., May 19 — The, Presto Li> Company Inc., of Indianapolis,* makers of radio and automo-1 bile storage batteries, is going to give' radio fans througout the country a little “inside” advance dope on the 500-mile race at Indianapolis.

For under the cover of darkness like crafty beings of th© underworld these eruptions work their most serious havoc. S.S.S. is the established conqueror of these annoying skin diseases. S.S.S. drives these ever disturbing elements from your system—elements that carry in their wake—lack of energyundermining health! You may try in vain to get rid of them by using salves, lotions, washes, all to no purpose. You can’t do it that way—tho scat of the trouble lies deeper—impure blood trying to throw off poisons through the tender skin. S.S.S. purifies the blood. It aids Nature in creating new red-blood-eells by the million! Blood-cells that send new rich blood coursing through your system. Red blood that drives away eczema—drives awry pimples, blackheads, boils and rheumatism, too. An increase in red-blood-cells means added strength, added vitality and renewed vigor. Because tho medicinal ingredients ot S.S.S. are purely vegetable, it may be taken with perfect safety.
