RICHMOND AMATEURS FORM RADIO LEAGUE; WINDER CHOSEN HEAD

Formation of a radio league for the community by wireless amateurs of Richmond and vicinity was completed Wednesday evening at a meeting held at the home of Gerrard Harrington, on North Fifteenth street. Objects of the new association were stated to be the regulation of traffic in the air so that all amateurs will frave a fair chance to get their messages through, and the benefit of association, for mutual assistance. There were 21 present at the meeting which was called to order prompt ly at 7: SO by Maurice Druley. Mr. Druley, explained the purpose of calling the meeting, and the need of a local radio organization. He then acted as temporary chairman during the election of a president to whom he immediately resigned control, Mr. Joseph Winder being chosen. Other Officers Named. Other officers chosen were Fred Clark, 26 South Eleventh street, as vice-president, and Harold Cutler, 116 Richmond Avenue, as secretarytreasurer It was decided to postpone choice of a traffic manager until a later date, as he will be charged with the regulation of amateur stations and enforcement of the regulations, and it was felt that careful consideration should be given to this position. Mr. Cutler volunteered to act temporarily until a regular manager could be chosen. It was desided that the name of the new organization should be "The D.x Radio Club" from the radio code term referring to distance work. In discussing the regulation of air traffic for messages, an explanation , of the "Chicago" plan, given by Maurice Druley, was used as the basis for the regulations of the local club. Chicago now provides for certain hours for each kind of radio work. However, the Chicago plan makes no provision for telephone work, and the local club, on the suggestion of the president, and of Messr3. Clark and Snyder, decided to set aside a time when amateurs might listen to phones, rlth the time from 7:30 to 8 o'clock reserved exclusively for transmission or news, markets and the weather forecast, which are being sent out by the Palladium telephone. From 6 to 7:30 only necessary message work may be done, in order that amateurs may have a chance to tune in outside phones at Dayton, Cincinnati. Hamilton, or Pittsburg and listen to them. While the "Chicago plan" probably will soon be made the rule for all amateurs in the country, the "Dx Club," in its provisions for telephone work, is a step in advance even of Chicago. Next Meeting Wednesday The next meeting was set for Wednesday night, Oct. 12, when a constitution will be presented for adoption. Meetings thereafter will probably be monthly. An attempt will be made to secure authorities to address the club v at its meetings. Those who were present and included in the membership were: Gerrard Harrington, Harold Cutler, Leslie Hart. Mark Schrader, Fred Clark, Maurice Druley, William Huber, Joseph Winder, John Pegg, Malcolm Smith. Fred Lurring, Robert Clark, Hubert DeBeck, E. H. Harris, Charles Snyder. Merle Hobson, Roland Wickett. Brice Hayes, Ralph Hodgin, F. Tilton and Walter Sehultz. Sidney Lohman, who was unable to be present, was also admitted, and the name of William M. Bailey, of the Home Telephone company, when presented, was unanimously and favorably acted upon. The Theatres MURRETTE "Extras" about motion picture studios aren's easily fooled. They know the "ropes"; yet a host of them at the Goldwyn studios in Culver City. Cal., thoght that they were destined to pay a few days' salary in fines when they were caughe smoking by an imposing-looking fire inspector. The incident took place during the filming of Tom Moore's latest Goldwyn picture, "Made In Heaven," which opened today at the Murrette theatre for three days. In the photoplay, Mr. Moore appears as a fireman, and when he made his first appearance on the set, he strutted in proudly for the director's approval of his costume. Fpon his dramatic entrance, a number of extras immediately dropped iheir cigarettes or hid them in their palms. An electrician raised the hand of one of the extras and called to Mr. Moore: "Hey. Inspector, look here!" Mr. Moore approached the frightened "extra." "Got a spare cigarette about you?" he said. The "extra" handed Mr. Moore a pack. MURRAY "Children of Night," a Max Brand story produced in screen version by William Fox with William Russell as Mar, had its first showing here this afternoon at the Murray theatre. Mr. Russell demonstrated recently in "The Cheater Reformed," that his success does not depend upon stories of western life r.nd the ranch, with convincing force, by this performance.

McCormick, head of the International Harvester Company, is credited with confirming rumors that he and his wife, who was Miss Edith Rockefeller, daughter of John D., have separated. of Wall Street life but of a Wall Street financier who, through a romantic adventure, finds himself in the inner circle of an organized band of criminals whose operations are inter national in scope and aimed at the financial centres throughout the world. Exposure of his identity brings with it his condemnation to death by the society, as one who knows too much for the gang's safety. The efforts to destroy him, and his defiance of these efforts in which he is aided by the girl he loves, who is affiliated with the gang develop several of the fiercest and most thrilling fights in which Russell has been seen.

Car Owners want more rubber on the tread where the wear is hardest; more gum between cord plies to perfect a resilient and powerful carcass. And they want a scientifically constructed Non Skid tread with all angles and contacts to resist skidding and give sure traction. Firestone Cord Tires have met these demands of the car owners. Read Letters Below Records from 29,000 to 57,000 Miles

Cord Tires built the Firestone way could not fail to produce mileage. Every day, from all over the country, comes the word that 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 miles are frequent and consistent records. Sept. JO, 1921 Firestone Tire ft Rubber Co Jackionville Branch, Jacksonville. Florida. Gentlemen : I submit herewith the history of a 33x4 Fire. (tone Cord tire. THis tire has run 57.400 miles. I hav retreaded it seven times. The average mileage to each retread

ing was about 7, ago. i think you will agree this is a remarkable record. It is especially unusual as I know the owner to be a severe driver. However, he gives his tires proper inflation. The tire in question is not yet out of service and has every indication of being sufficiently strong for another retread. I am mailing photographs under separate cover. C. U.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Thousand Islands By FREDERIC ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y.. Oct. 6. Gilbert K. Chesterton in his talk on the ignorance of the educated might have used the Thousand Islands as an apt illustration of his text: "Ignorance is not so much what people don't know as It is their knowing so many things that aren't so." Thousand Islands are to most people a group of approximately 1,000 dots or land in the St. Lawrence river. A native of this place who has lived in or near the islands all her life says that "there are exactly 1,000 islands in the group." And her tone implied: if you doubt it, count 'em yourself. Yet the fact is that the Thousand Islands number close to 1,500. The early French explorers sailed through the maze of islands and dubbed them with the name they still carry. Thousand Islands is a euphonious name, suggestive of romance, and the history of the islands has run accoridngly. The romance of the French days was Indian tradition. The Iroquois had a picturesque tale to account for the origin of this long stretch of islands in the St, Lawrence. The Great Spirit, they said, wanted peace on earth. So he gave to the St. Lawrence, region as a sign an island shaped like a peace pipe. This island, called Calumet, is still pointed out near Clayton. Somewhere near there was the garden of the Great Spirit. But when his people ignored the peace pipe and brought war into the land, the Great Spirit in disap-i pointment seized his garden up in a blanket to leave the place. The blanket tore, and the garden, falling into the St. Lawrence river, broke into a thousand islands that lay on the surface of the water. This origin. thfl story says, accounts for the beauty of the islands. The region, too, is claimed by some students of Indian lore as the scene of the Hiawatha story, as it actually occurred in Indian history. Hiawatha, according to these authorities, was the Onondaga hero, Michabou, Great Hare, whose wisdom and prowess set him forever in Indian affairs as the great leader and example. Today, Indian souvenirs in the shops are the only signs left to remind the people who dart about the waters in motorboats, of the times when Indian canoes dotted the St. Lawrence. A Modern Romance. The romance for today is supplied by modern stories. Just across from Alexandria Bay, for instance, is Hear. Island, with its novel history. A beautiful castle stands on the island, a typical millionaire's residence. But the windows are shuttered. The doors are boarded. Eighteen years ago, they tell you, a millionaire planned this castle for his wife. There were 80 rooms and 50 baths, and other details cn tho same scale. An underground passage to the castle from the dock was constructed for freight. Even the power house down on the water's edge was built like a cluster of towers. A million dollars was put into the building, and unlimited enthusiasm and affection. Hearts were painted into the decorations on the ceiling and cut in the carvings of the stone. But before it was finished the misITS A GRAND OLI HEMEDV You can't keep strong and well without sleep. Whether your rest is broken by a painful hacking cough or just an annoying tickling in the throat, the system becomes weakened and rundown. Mrs. K. D. Drake, Childs, Md., writes: "After an attack of the 'flu' I was left with a severe cough. Nothing relieved me till I used Foley's Honey and Tar, which I can highly recommend." It covers irritated membranes with a healing and soothing coating. -Advertisement.

and Then Some J. HASKIN tress of the castle died. The millionaire ordered work suspended nt once. Crates of furniture were left standing, unpacked in the rooms. Later, visitors to the islands were permitted by the caretakers to see the castle, but so many brought penknives and carved their names cn the beautiful woodwork, or, otherwise defaced the building, that -it was finally closed entirely. Now it is rumored that the castle, which has never been lived in, is to end the first eighteen year chapter of its career. Plans are under way to convert it into a summer hotel. Heart Island, the typical deserted castle of the fairy stories, is not the only desolate looking residence in ue istaiiua. .uy i l"7 " ui tilts 1 iv.il, rini iia joniii,, group of islands, are closed for the season. It is late now, Dut some nave never been unboarded throughout the summer. There is no blasted love back of these boarded doors. If there is a romance there, it is the cold romance of the dollar. The owners have other estates in Palm Beach, Newport ami some metropolis. The island is kept as a rustic retreat, to be used now and then, perhaps, when rest and quiet may be wanted. Nearly all these are in perfect condition. The flower beds and lawn are as precisely kept as if the owner were there to enjoy them. The attractiveness of the estates is not wasted, however, for many visitors to hotels and cottages at Alexandria Bay and other colonies take long motor boat rides among the islands, admiring the show places. The islands in their original state are beautiful, some densely wooded, some rocky with pine trees among the rocks, others smooth and green. In among these, on some , millionaire's property, the fall flowers add a striking note of gay red, orange and purrle. Terraces are masses of bloom.?. Asters and goldenglow are skillfully set among the rocks at the water's edge so that they are mirrored in the river One of these millionaires has even his own flower edged canal, built at great expense, to form a winding waterway between the islands of hi3 estate. Expensive Islands. Not all the homes, however, are deserted. Not all are owned by millionaires, either, here are cottages of all sizes down to a ridiculously tiny green "love nest" which the story goe3 "was built for two but three are there now. ( The islands are of all sizes. Some OIL LIGHT BEATS ELECTRIC OR GAS BURNS 94 AIR A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white lieht. even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U. S.

The secosj tire rolled up a mileage cf between 34,000 and 35,000. These were both rear tires and had been cut considerably by chains. The two front tires have gone better than 35,000 miles and are still in good condition. I expect to get at least 40,000 miles from each of them. I need scarcely say that the Firestone Cord, will be my tira choice for the future. Archie H. Beard, 522 LaSalle Eldg.. Minneapolis.

of the largest acccommodate whole fummer colonies. But the most popular size for summer houses are those ' that comfortably hold a single house, j leaving enough land for a yard and a garaen. islands smaller man mis are not wasted, though. Houses are built on dots of land so microscopic that the front yard is under water. To take a walk, they have to get in a boat at the front door, and go somewhere else. One of the little frame cottages was even built on a reconstructed island. A few rocks with a lone tree stuck up above the shallow water and the "land I was filled in enough to make a foun dation for a small house and even a few trees were planted in the yard. Why all this work should be necessary when there are plenty of untenanted islands of comfortable size lying all about is a bit obscure. Still, islands have gone up, and the two rocks and a pine tree may have been a bargain. Several hundred of the (islands on the American side of the river were sold years ago to a man for $3,000. It is a fact that Pullman, the railroad man, bought a desirable island for -$25 about 50 years ago. i And it is estimated that the same island, without its handsome residence, would now bring no less than $25,000. The Home Garden Storing of sweet potatoes is one of the most important factors In having them for the table during the winter. Suggestions offered by F. C. Gaylord of the horticultural extension staff of Purdue university, and which are being followed successfully by many farmers over the stale, will assure that j potatoes will keep in good condition. Cut off the vines immediately after the first frost, dig the potatoes carefully, then spread them out in a hot dry place, where they may dry for a week or ten days. Some of the mois ture in them evaporates, the skin hard ens and bmises heal. Select the maCORNS Lift Off with Fingers Doesnt nmt a bit!
