—- 5 OEE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1928 BEULAH NOT GUILTY OF ANNOYING RADIO Expert Clears Power Plant and Finds Old Motors in City Responsible ‘the trouble that interferes with | ¢ radio reception here is not at the Beulah power plant, according to the experts from Fargo who are here try- ing to locate it so that it may be remedied. It seems to be chiefly of local origin, A. B. Olson, the Fargo expert of the Radio Equipment cor- ‘poration, reported to S. W. Corwin, chairman of the fans’ committee financing the trouble shoot. The search now is being directed here. The expert is visiting local bust- ness houses and investigating condi- tions with the radio compass. He is finding that much of the interference comes from old-style direct current motors, he says. The merchants are shown how to ground this out. The committee is making a request that business houses cooperate with the committee by adjusting their in- terfering motors. In other cities, Chairman Corwin pointed out, there are ordinances compelling such ad- justment. So far, Bismarck has no radio regulations embodied in law, but it is proposed tp set about enact- ing such an ordinance, as was indi- cated in talks at the Monday evening session of the city commission. To test out the suspicion that Beu- lah might be causing the trouble, the qpower plant there was cut off “ Wednesday night. The interference in the city was not diminished in the least, said Chairman Corwin, showing that the noise was being created here.

Rehmeyer jin York county by a “pow-wow” doc- |tor and two youths; efforts to con- {nect the unsolved murder of a girl | with witchcraft and investigation of the deaths of infants who received “pow-wow” instead of medical treat- ment, all have served to focus atten- tion on the survival of ancient su- perstitions. The word “pow-wow” was adopted jby the early settlers from the North American Indian, in which tongue it meant “conference.” It its {brought with them their beliefs in in- |cantations and conjuring formulas in the curing of minor ills and averting of misfortunes. This wealth of superstition entered into many domestic actions and the duties of everyday life. The superstition of early German settlers, much of which now appears to have been handed down through the generations, was divided into a hundred forms, from a simple belief in the efficacy of Bible verses, prom- iscuously selected. to demonology. Dr. Julius F. Sachse once related to the Lancaster historical society a personal experience as a boy with “pow-wowing” a burn. He had picked up a hot piece of iron, and as no remedies were at hand it was suggest- ed that he be taken to an old woman in the neighborhood who for a penny or so would “besprech the burn.” “The old woman was spare and thin, with long bony hands,” said Dr. Sachse. “A pair of brass spec- tacles perched on her nose, and red tapes formed a garniture for her dropping eyelids.

Have you seen the new Tricycles—boxing gloves—real motor trucks and the Xmas items for boys and girls at GAMBLE STORES “Laying the burnt hand on the | ‘Pow-wow’ and Superstition Are Not Uncommon in Pennsylvania table, she immediately commenced signs and crosses over the hurt with her long index finger, while she murmured her incantations—ac- tions which, A the ha Rage feel- ing excited in tl |, temporarily took away all thoughts of injury. “Her how! |. ‘This was tak- en as a sign that the charm was suc- cessful.” But the pain soon returned. and the boy broke into laughter at “the ridiculous sight.” In anger the old crone wrote German characters on a piece of paper and put if into the boy's pocket. At his home the missive was ex- amined. It advised “an: immediate and thorough dusting of the lad’s jacket with a pliable hazel or birch switch, well laid on, so as to teach him in future to respect old age and venerate a gray head,” said Dr. Sachse.
