NORTHAMPTON, Mass., June 10.— Mrs. Elberta M. Miles was sentenced to five years and a month In the State reformatory for women by Judge Ir- win in Superior Court here yesterday after he had accepted a plea of guilty to manslaughter instead of try- ing the woman on an indictment Charging her with the murder of her stepson, Edward Miles, last January. Mrs. Miles admitted subjecting the boy to hot and cold baths as punish- ment, and the State charged that at| the time. of his death during one of these baths the boy's body was cov- ered with lacerations and bruises re- cefved at the hands of his stepmother. Admission of the plea to manslaughter was allowed because the court found there was no_evidence of premedita- tion in the crime. D. C. EXCEEDED QUOTA. Gave 25,000 Pounds of Clothing to Near East.

All Rights Reserved. How to Read Wiring Diagrams. Part I Of course, it is possible to get full enjoyment out of a radio set with- out knowing a thing about the inside workings of the receiver. It is even possible to hook up a set without so much as knowing how to read a wir- ing diagram because the large num- ber of constructional articles on how to build receivers now available make use of picture diagrams and detailed, step-by-step wiring instructions for connecting the parts together. The same thing, of course, applies to driving a car. All you actuslly Teed to know to drive a car Is to master the details of operating the steering wheel and the driving mechanism of the car. If, in addi- tion, you know something about the mechanism of the car, its peculiar- jties and its limitations, you can operate it to better advantage. It is not necessary that you be a radio expert and know everything about the theory and fine points of the radio art to be able to work with circuits and receivers, but you should have a working knowledge of the pic- ture language of the art. Radio has a picture language of. its own and, like most picture languages, it is uni- versal and easy to understand once the fundamental symbols are known. Has Approximately 50 Symbols.

Test transmission from the three amphiblan planes to be used in con- nection with the MacMillan expedi- tion to the Arctic will be continued after the planes arrive in Boston and until the expedition sails, it was an- nounced today by the Navy Depart- ment. The tests will be on both the 385 and the 426 meter wave lensths. Amateurs throughout the entire country have been asked to listen in on these tests, as well as the tests to be conducted while the planes are in flight from Philadelphia to Boston. Regular radio listeners who are ac- quainted with code have been ad- vised that they may be able to pick up the 425-meter signals near where they find WSB, Atlanta. The 385- meter signals, however, will not be audible to the ordinary receiver. Although no voice messages will be transmitted on the flight from Philadelphia to Boston, it is expected that some tests with voice on the lower wave length may be attempted during the days that the transmitters are waiting in Boston for the expedi- tion to sail. It is hoped particularly, that ama- teurs in the Middle West and on the Pacific coast will attempt to tune in the low wavelength signals. The short waves have a tendency to jump great distances, though they are in- audible at intermediate points, and are liable to be heard in the United States during the Summer months, while the MacMillan party is up in the Far North. The 425-meter set is a regular Navy transmitter and is not expected to be heard at great dis- tances. Among the most interested of the listeners-in to the short-wave sig- nals will be the officials of the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue, D. C.. where a special watch will be set to study the tests and to determine to what extent the signals may be ex- pected to be heard later {n the Sum- mer. RADIO IN GERMANY MAKING STRIDES Country Registers Approximately Three-Fourths of Million ~ Listeners. By Consolidated Press. It took approximately 40 years to enroll 1,000,000 telephone subscribers to the phone service in Germany, put radio, with already approximately 750,000 licensed listeners, will dupli- cate that enrollment in less than two years, according to Consul C. W. Ravadal, in a report today to the De- partment of Commerce. German listeners number 714,358, with most of them residing in Berlin, according to the latest statistics. The increased interest in radio and broad- casting is attributed largely to the ichanging of broadcasting from a pure state monopoly to an enterprise wherein private capital was entitled to own 49 per cent of the capital | stock. | Nine Stations Operating. Under this new arrangement, nine broadcasting companies operating nine main stations and five substations are now on the air regularly. The main establishments_are located at Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfort-on-Main, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Breslau, Mun. {ster and Wenigsburg. Each covers a 150 kilome- ters, which is subdivided according to postal districts. It has been decided that no additional main stations will be established, inasmuch as it is said the entire country is now completely covered with broadcast entertainment. There still is public opposition to the government ownership, Consul Ravadal says, and the grgument is advanced that the unrestricted, un- licensed system of the United States is working out more successfully both for the broadcaster and the listener. Like American broadcasters, the Germans are turning to greater power as the means of further popularizing |the radio. Until the first of the year |the average power used at the main plants was 1,500 watts, but altera- tions in the transmitters are being made to permit sending with power varying from 2,000 to 10,000 watts. Programs of High Type. In arranging their programs the German broadcasters seek to present |purely intellectual and educational programs, with entertainment for va- riety. Subjects which would please only the passing whims and fancies of the public are avoided. No political speeches are transmitted and no con: nections whatever are maintained with the political parties. News dis- patches receive far more attention from the German broadcasters than do those of any other country in the world. The broadcasting companies have endeavored to popularize music ‘and not to prevent the listeners from attending operatic performances and concerts. Before transmitting an |opera, the program or libretto is sold to the subscribers at a nominal price. Likewise after an opera has been ra- dioed, theater tickets are offered by the company at reduced rates. BAN MADE PERMANENT. Burley Tobacco Association Barred From Operating in Tennessee. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 10 (#). —Charles Hays Brown, chancellor of Knox County, vesterday handed down an oral opinion making permanent an injunction barring the Burley To- bacco Growers' Cooperative Associa- tion from doing business in Tennes- see. The injunction was asked by the State attorney general, tempor- ary restraining order having been is- sued last July. The chancellor’'s decree holds that the association committed a viola- tion of the State’s anti-trust laws, but uphols the validity of the co-opera- tive marketing act, and highly com- mends this form of marketing.

By the Assoclated Pres The dirigible Shenandoah will at- tempt a flight to Minnesota in place of the disabled Los Angeles, but the date for the cruise is indefinite. Secretary Wilbur last night directed that the Shenandoah make the trip as soon as possible after he had re- ceived word from the Lakehurst hangar that engine trouble, which forced the Los Angeles to suspend her Minnesota flight Sunday at Cleve- land, would necessitate a complete overhauling. The Shenandoah is to fly to Port- land, Me., July 4, for the governors’ conference there, but will make the Minnesota voyagé before then if it can be inflated soon enough. Other- wise, the trip will follow the Port- land flight. Engines in Bad Shape. Capt. George W. Steele, jr., com- mander of the Los Angeles, advised the Naval Secretary that possibly two weeks would be required to prepare the Shenandoah for the air, necessi- tating repurification and transfer of the Los Angeles’ hellum to the sister ship. The trouble encountered by the Los Angeles Sunday, it was explained, disclosed that its engines required a complete overhauling. Four will be sent to the Government aircraft factory at Philadelphia for this pur- pose, the other being a spare engine which has been operated only 86 hours. Meanwhile, an unused spare engine will be installed, and when the overhauling of the others has been completed, its plant is expected to be in first-class condition. Experts Study “Fading.” ‘The Bureau of Standards has com- pleted two series of tests made to de- termine the degree to which sunset fading affected the signals pf stations WGY, Shenectady, and KDKA, Pitts- burgh.
