Radio TRIM TREES TO AID RADIO, IS EXPERT'S PLEA Owners of Sets Can Help Reception Greatly by Use of Saw. Many letters have been filed by The Times radio interference man in the last six weeks and all have some type of grief that makes radio reception impossible from some stations or all over the dials. Letters with more than one signature have been getting the main attention, due to the fact that if ten or twenty homes are having trouble it is certain that there is a major interference in that section, not confined to any one home. The interference man has checked several districts in northern and eastern sections of the city and finds the major trouble in most cases is due to power lines running through trees, causing ' them to ground. This type of grief has been predominating lately, due to the icecovered trees. In Irvington the radio man cheeked and reported hundreds of trees that were grounding power lines. The Power and Light Company states that owners of trees must act before the tree can be cut to clear the trouble. Trees are pretty in the summer time, but also make summer radio nearly impossible, along with the heat static. Therefore. if fans want good programs, the only thing to do is to have the trees trimmed or topped. If this were done all over Indianapolis, radio reception would be much better. The Times radio interference man made a check Wednesday in Beech Grove to find why radio reception is so bad in certain spots. After making a check all around Beech Grove, several bad points were found and several dead spots, where radio reception is impossible, due to the power lines that run south of there. In the check it was found that the street car line that runs to Beech Grove has many bad sections of track and the cars are broadcasting all along the line. The Beech Grove shops also are causing some trouble when they have different electrical equipment working, as all’ use high voltage. Through the day the hospital has been helping the grief along by using different machines, fans in this section say, and the interference man will make a daytime check to test the equipment used and report later.

AMERICANS STUDY FOR BRITISH ACCENT u. S. English Is Good Enough for Yankees Abroad. By yEA Service LONDON, Feb. 15.—The English language, as it is spoken in America, evidently isn’t good enough for some natives of the United States.

KIDNAP SCARE RENEWED: TWO GIRLS PURSUED I Children Sent to Drug Store Report Man Chased Them. An attempt was made to kidnap two more girls late Thursday night, near Twenty-fifth street and Central avenue. The girls were chased several blocks by a suspected moron, who is believed to have begun the epidemic of kidnaping scares in the city. The girls pursued by the man aie: Fanchon Fortune, 11, of 2409 Ashland avenue and Betty Jane Stenzel, 11, of 2530 Park avenue. Late Thursday night the girls were sent to a drug store at Twentyfifth street and Central avenue. As they neared the store a man called to them to stop. The girls ran. He

I chased them. They outdistanced him. Returning to their homes they reported the episode to their parents and police were called. The man was described as weighing 160 pounds, wearing a light overcoat and a light gray hat. He did not have a motor car, the girls said. Police searched the neighborhood but failed to find anyone answering the description given by the girls. Parents of Virginia Helms, 10, of 1706 Brookside avenue, reported their daughter was annoyed by two men at Roosevelt avenue and Commerce street at 4:40 p. m. Thursday. The men got off a Brightwood car and asked the girl if she did not want to go with them, the girl said. They made no attempt to follow her, however, and police did not believe they intended to harm the child. Ancient Chinese families commemorated the death of their relatives by putting up a strip of wall paper each time a death occurred. AMUSEMENTS ryni ICU’C to nit e Cnuuon 0 BAL. WEEK MAT. SAT.
