Address: Room 722, News De- partment, The Evening Star, Washington, D, C. The at the Service Mec- the, ad- Q. I am writing in the behalf of a lady, who enlisted in the Navy as a yoemannette under an assumed name. When she enlisted she ad- vanced the date of her birth ten years. Now she is in a quandary as to what steps to take to secure the bonus to which she is entitled. Please tell me what she should do under these circumstances?.—E. J. A. Your friend is in the same pre- dicament that thousands of others are in. She will have no difficulties, as the Government intends to recognize and fairly adjudicate all similar claims. All persons who served.u der assumed names should use them in their applications for the borfus/] Under the item “remarks” in the ap- plication blank, put the correct name and state that you desire the ad- justed service certificate to which you are entitled made out with your correct name. Be sure to give your correct age, ‘and state your reasons for using an incorrect age. If you give an incorrect age of bifth, or one that does not correspond with -the departments records, your applica- tion will be returned, causing delay and unnecessary and needless work. Q. During the war my husband served as an officer below the rank of major.. In 1920, while still in the service, he was killed in a powder explosion. During all his service, he received commutation of heat, light and quarters. - 1 understand that I will not be entitled to the bonus on that account. Have I been correctly informed?—Mrs. ' Q. 7 A. You are probably entitled to the.bonus credit that your husband’s ‘military service earned. You snould therefore file an application. As your husband's duties were of a dangerous character we -belleve the War De- partment will rule that receipt of pay for heat, light and quarters will not bar you from the benefits. There is a clause in the law which covers the service of men who received these benefits, but who were at the same time . subjected to unusual condi- tions. Under the heading “remarks” on your application explain the cir- cumstances under which your hus- band's service was rendered. Q. My son died sometime after discharge from the Army. I have no papers of any kind to tell when he went into the service and when he was discharged. He died in a_Gov- ernment hospital away from home. What can I.do, or where can I go to get_information about his service o that I can fill in an application for the benefits of the bonus?—F". A. Try to find some old letters or records of his service. Perhaps some other member of your family can help you recall the dates of 'service which you need to properly file your application. Failing in that we would suggest that you go to some Veterans’ Bureau office. and secure the data you .need. As your son died In a hospital you ought to be able to locate there some record of his serv- ice. It will be better to attempt to secure the information you need in this manner, because the War Depart- ment is swamped with cases ‘like yours and it is almost impossible at this time to give them the individual and personal attention to-which they are entitled. 2RiE PRINCE’S VISIT SET.

Beauty Smith strode into camp and stood over White Fang. He snarled S0ftly up at the thing of fear, watch- ing keenly the deportment of the hands. One hand extended outward and began to decend on .his head. His soft snarl grew tense and harsh. The hand continued slowly to descend, while he crouched beneath it, eying it malignantly, his snarl grow- ing shorter and shorter as, with quickening breath, it approached its culmination. ~ Suddenly he snapped, striking with his fangs like a snake, The hand was jerked back, and the teeth came together emptily with a sharp click. ° Beauty Smith was frightened and angry. Gray Beaver clouted White Fang alongside the head, so that he cowered down close to_the earth in respectful obedlence. White Fang’s suspicious eyes fol- lowed every movement. He saw Beauty. Smith go away and return with a stout club. Then the end ot the thong was given over to him by Gray Beaver. Beauty Smith started to walk away. The thong grew taut. White Fang resisted it. Gray Beaver clouted him right and left to make him get up and follow. He obeyed, but with a rush, hurling himself upon the stranger who was dragging him away. Beauty Smith did not jump away. He had been waiting for this. He swung the club smartly, stopping the rush midway and smashing White Fang down upon the ground. Gray Beaver laughed and nodded approval. Beauty. Smith_ tightened the thong again, and White Fang crawled limply and dizzily to his feet. He did not rush a second time. One smash from the club was sufficient to convince him that the white god knew how to handle it, and he was too wige to fight the inevitable. So he followed morosely at Beauty.Smith's heels, his tail between his legs, vet snarling softly under his breath. But Beauty Smith kept a wary eye on him, and the club was heid always ready to strike. . At the fort Beauty Smith left him securely tied and went in to bed. White Fang waited an hour. Then he applied his teeth to the thong, and in the space of ten seconds was free. He had wasted no time with his teeth. There had been no useless gnawing. The thong was cut across diagonally: almost as clean as though done by a knife. White Fang looked up at the fort, at the same time bristling and growling. Then he turned and trot- ted back to Gray Beaver's camp. He owed ‘no_ allegiance to this' strange and terrible god.. He had given him- self to Gray Beaver, and to Gray Bea- ver he considered he still belonged. But what had occurred before was repeated—with ‘a_difference. _ Gray Beaver again made him fast with a thong, and in. the morning turned him over t6 Beauty Smith. And here was where the differerice came in. Beauty Smith_gave him a beating. Tied securely, White Fang could only rage’ futllely ‘and- endure the punish- ment. ‘Club and whip were both used upon him, and he_ experienced the worst_beating he had ever received in his Mfe, -Even the big beating given him in his puppyhood by’ Gray Bea- ver was mild compared to this. Beauty Smith enjoyed. the task. He delighted in it. He gloated over his victim, and his eyes flamed dully, he swung the whip or club and list- ‘ened to White Fang’s cries of pain and to his helpless bellows and snarls. For Beauty sm’lén was cruel Enfl;y‘.. way that cowards are cruel. - m"md sniveling himself before . the blows or angry speech of a man, he revenged himself, in turn, upon crea- tures weaker than he. .All life likes nd_Beauty Smith was no ex- Denied the expression of power among his own kind, he fell back upon theé. lesser creatures and there vindicated the life that was in him. But Beauty Smith had not cre- ated himself, and no biame was to be attached to him. He had come into the world with a twisted body and a brute intelligence. * This had con: 7708 P Louisyille New York Atlanta Detroit D tm’th. Mass.: New York @akland, Cal.

And when Beauty Smith ieft him tied outside the ford, he knew that it was Beauty Smith's ‘will that he shouvld remain there.. Therefore, he had disobeyed the wtil of both gods, and earned the consequent punishment. He had seen dogs change owners in the past, and he had seen the runaway beaten as hs was being beaten. He was wise and yet in the nature of him there were forces greater than wisdom One of these was fidelity. He did not love Gray Beaver, vet, even in the face of his will and his anger, he was faithful to him. He could not help it. The faithfulness was a qual- ity of the clay that composed him. It was the quality that was peculiarly the possession of his kind; the qual- ity that set apart his species from all other species; the quality that had enabled the wolf and the wild dog to come in from the open and be the companion of man. After the beating White Fang was dragged back to the fort. But this time Beauty Smith left him tied with a stick. One does not give up a god easily, and so with White Fang. Gray Beaver was his own particular god, and, in_spite of Gray Beaver's will, White Fang still clung to him and would not give him up. Gray Beaver had betrayed and forsaken him, but that had no effect upon him. Not for nothing had he ‘surrendered himself body and soul to Gray Beaver. There had been no reservation on White Fang's part, and the bond was not to be_broken easily. So, in the night, when the men in the ‘fort were asleep, White Fang applied his teeth to the stick that held him. The wood was seasoned and dry, and it was tied so closely to his ‘neck that he could scarcely get his teeth to it. It was only by the severest muscular exertion and neck arching that he succeeded in getting the wood between his teeth, and barely between his teeth at that, and it was only by the exercise of an immense patience, extending through many hours that he succeeded in gnawing through the stick. This was Something that doge were not sup- posed to do. It was unprecedented. But White Fang did it, trotting away from the fort in the early morning with the end of the stick hanging to his_neck. He was wise. But had he 'been merely wise he would not have gone back to Gray- Beaver, who had already twice betrayed him. But there was his faithfulness, and he went back to be betrayed yvet a third time. Again he yielded to the tying of a thong around his neck by Gray Beaver, and again Beauty Smith came to_claim him. And this time he was beaten even more severely than before. Gray Beaver looked -on stolidly while _the white man wielded the whip. He gave no protection. It was no longer his dog. When the beating was over White Fang was sick. A soft south- land dog would have died under it, but not he. His school of lite had been -sternér, and he was himself of sterner stuff. He had too great vital- ity. His clutch on life was too strong. But he was very -sick. At first he was unable to drag hirself along, and Beauty Smith had to wait half an hour on him. And then. blind and reeling, he followed at Beauty Smith’s heels back to the fort. But now he was tied with a chain that defied his teeth, and he strove in vain, by lunging, to draw the staple from the timber into which it was driven. After 2 few days, sober and bankrupt, Gray Beaver departed up the Porcupine on his long journey to the Mackenzie. White Fang remained on the Yukon, the property of a man more than half mad and all brute. But what is ‘a dog_to know in its consclousness of madness? To White Fang, Beauty Smith was a veritable, if terrible, god.

Details of the gigantic scheme are now being worked out by the De- partment of Commerce with the co- operation of the various radio inter- ests. Those who are endeavoring to prevent the plans from being carried out are principally manufacturers of radio appatatus George A. Pearson, president of the Electrical Research Laboratories in Chicago, fears that the proposed superbroadcasting system will be controlled by a. purely-for-profit or- ganization and that under such a monopoly .an attempt will be made to “blanket the entire United States and drown our practically all stations which are now giving such wonderful service to the listeners. “If the radio fan is going to be compélled to accept just the kind of broadcasting that any one corporation wishes him to have, it will not be 1ong before there will be few listen- warns Mr. Pearson. “Just con- sider for a_moment the kind of po- litical speeches the listener would get if all these speeches were censored by a controlling corporation which would be seeking at all times to in- crease its own prosperity.” “The patent situation is anothe one which vitally affects the listener,” adds Mr. Pearson. “So far no one has been able to get 4 monopoly on radio, for the reason that no one has been able to get control of sufficient num- bers of basic patents to give them such control. For this reason there has been an open market in radio, prices have been gradually lowered, and at the same time the efficiency of the apparatus has been increased through experimentation and research work. The consumer has a large va- riety of apparatus to choose from and competition has resulted in the consumer getting his money's worth. “The condition can be changed by the next national administration. The United States Navy at the present time owns the patents which control the basic principles of reflex and radio frequency. These patents were for- merly held by Germans. They were seized during the war by the custo- n of enemy alien property and sold to the Navy. 'With the next administration will rest the disposal of these patents. They can be turned back to their original owners, they can be licensed for use by one American corporation or they can be thrown open to the general use of the people of the United States. If they are returned to the original patentees, they w immediately become the property of the German radio trust, which in turn will allow their use by only one large American corporation. The same result would be obtained if they were turned directly by the Navy to the same American corporation. “If these patents are licensed by the Navy for the free use of all Americans, this action would have the effect of preventing monopoly, in keeping down prices by stimulating legitimate competition, and would re- dound to the benefit of the consumer. “Now is a good time for the mil- lions of radio listeners to begin to find out just how the candidates for President and for the Senate and House of Representatives stand on these questions. Unless the radio consumer protects himself, it is not likely that he is going to get much protection. Any candidate who stands for monopoly and high prices should not get far, and there are enough prtcballto e M ctiehidat P @hite Fang became a fiend. He was kept chained in a pen at the rear of the fort, and here Beauty Smith teased and irritated and drove him wild with petty torments. The man early discovered White Fang's sus- ceptibility to laughter and made it a point, after painfully tricking him. to laugh at him. This laughter was uproarious and scornful, and at the same time the god pointed his finger derisively at White Fang. At such times reason fled from White Fang, and in his transports of rage he was even more mad than Beauty Smith. Eormerly White Fang had been merely the enemy of his kind, withal a ferocious enemy. He now became the enemy of all things, and more ferocious than ever. To such an ex- tent was he tormented that he hated blindly and without the faintest spark of reason. He hated the chain that tound him, the men who peered in at him through the slats of the pen. the dogs that accompanied the men and that snarled malignantly at him in his helplessness. He hated the very wood of the pen that confined him. And first, last, and most of all, he hated Beauty Smith. But Beauty Smith had a purpose in all that he did to White Fang. One day a number of men gathered about the pen. Beauty Smith entered, club in hand. and took the chain from off White Fang's neck. When his mas- ter had gone out White Fang turned loose and tore around the pen, trying to get at the men outside. He was magnificently terrible. Fully five feet in length, and standing two and one- half feet at the shoulder, he far out- weighed a wolf of corresponding size From his mother he had inherited the heavier proportions of the dog, so that he weighed, without amy fat and without an ounce of superfluous flesh, over 90 pounds. It was all muscle, bone and sinew—fighting flesh in the finest condition. The door of the pen was being opened again. White Fang paused. Something unusual was happening. He waited. The door was opencd wider. Then a huge dog was thrust inside and the door was slammed shut behind him. White Fang had never seen such a dog (it was a mastift); but the size and fierce aspect of the intruder did not deter him. Here was something, not wood nor iron, upon which to wreak his hate. He leaped in with a flash of fangs that ripped down the side of the mastif's neck. The mastiff shook his head, growled hoarsely, and plunged at White Fang. But White Fang was here, there and everywhere, always ovading and eluding and al- ways leaping in and slashing with his fangs and leaping out again in.time to escape punishment.

French Skeptical to Radie. Several European publications have published editorials calling for more care in proposing radio theories. They call attention to the fact that the original theories of Hertz have {been found to be seriously incom- plete and that many other hypotheses of wave propagation have Rone by the board in the last few years, only to be replaced by new ones. Above all, every one now calls for proof of the Heaviside layer theory, saying that should this theory come to be fully understood it would ex- plain many puzzling variations in radio transmission and might assist greatly the conquest of such difficul- ties a8 fading. Receiving Set Range. Because at one time or another radio fans have received stations 1,500 miles away they think that this is the receiving range of their set, and if asked what the range is they will glve the mileage. This is the wrong way to estimate the range of a set. The proper method is to see how far the set can receive signals in the day time between 11 o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Stations that can be picked up regularly between these hours are the ones upon which the receiving range should be based. Capitel Theater's Anniversary. International radio week, which will be observed from November to 30, will mark the second ann versary of the broadcasting activities of the Capitol Theater in New York On November 19, 1922, Richard Strauss’ “Ein_ Heldenleben” was broadcast by the Capitol Grand Or- chestra, this being the first time in the history of radio that symphonic music was transmitted direct from a theater. Since that time radio en- tertainment has grown beyond ali expectations, and “Roxie” and “his gang” are now the most popular en- tertaining unit on the air. In celebration of its second anni- versary, the Capitol Theater artists will take an active part in the inter- national radio week program, an event which will be participated in by the United States, Great Britain, France, Australia, Canada and Cuba. PWX and WKAQ Divide Honors. Radio broadcasting honors in_the West Indies are divided between PWX of the Cuban Telephone Company and its twin station WKAQ of the Porto Rico Telephone Company at San Juan. Since beginning operation in 1 WKAQ has been heard throughout the United States and Canada as well as in most parts of Central and South America and Europe. It has an an- tenna output of 500 watts and sends on a wave band of 360 meters. The programs consist principaily of na- tive and Spanish music and short discourses regarding the resources and attractions .of the island. WKAQ's favorable geographical location has assisted it in developing a widespread audience in three con- tinents. Tuning in WKAQ is one of the favorite pastimes of radio fans in Great Britain. WGY Has Three Stations. Few radio fans are aware that the same radio program may frequently be heard from Schnectady from three different stations operating on three different wave lengths and three dif- ferent licenses. The familiar station is WGY, which operates one develop- ment class license on 350 meters. Then there is the short-wave station, 2XI, which goes on the air with 107- meter. waves, broadcasting the same programs that are put. on the air from WGY.. The third station, fa- miliar only within a radius of 50 miles of Schenectady, is 2XAZ, oper- ating on 100 meters Like, 2XI, 2XAZ is an experimental license. The former station is li- censed to use any power up. to 10 kilowatts, and has used that power successfully in long-distance trans- mission on short-wave lengths. The latter station is of the portable type, using 250 watts. The portable sta- tion, which is carried on a truck, is used to pick up programs outside of those given in the studio. The purpose of the portable set is to eliminate wire connection, the us- ual practice in remote control broad- casting. In other words, there link in place of a wire link. Believe It or Not. Station WLW, in Cincinnati, re- ceived recently from one of its lis- teners the following letter: “I had the unusual experience the other night of listening to a soloist in one broadcasting station being ac- companied by an orchestra in an- other. The singer's name was Lanem, and he was singing in one of the sta- tions I happened to be listening to. Just as he started to sing ‘Worried' an orchestra at station WLW started playing the same song, the soloist and the orchestra being in perfect harmony. “My set is a crystal receiver, and it is easy for me to get two local RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.

Valuable figures regarding the problems to be met before radio’s ills are entirely cured have been sub- mitted to John V. L. Hogan, consult- ing radio engincer and former presi- dent of the Institute of Radio Engi- neers, by broadcast listeners in all sections of the country. The figures show that the source of greatest interference with enterta ment programs is the spark telegraph signals, which were rated 39 per cent of those who communicated with Mr. Hogan. Whistles came second, h 31.4 per cent, and cross-talk (in- terference from other broadcasting stations) 29.6 per cent. When the first changes in wave lengths were made cross-talk was perhaps the most serious difficulty but improvements in the design o sets and increased experience on t part of those operating them has re- duced this trouble materially. Signals Reach South America. The experimental test of the effi- cacy of voice communication by radio between continents which was re- cently made by KDKA and a news- paper in Buenos Aires proved a de- cided success, according to numerous received from South Amers countrie The test consisted of three mes- sages, all read in Spanish, on different evenings, and only three agencies were; cognizant of the contents of the messages beforehand. This was the. first time an inter-continental radio test designed especially to test the clarity of broadcast messages was made. The penetrating qualities of the new short-wave station of KDKA, further emphasized by the re- sults of this test, prove that wonder- ful résults may be expected from this station. A noted writer declares juvenile court cases fell off more than 40 per cent in the United States during the last year, due to interest of the young- You Get 9 Don’t Tired e & Set!
