Among these, but apart from rm. and waiting patiently, sat Mistress hanna, attended by her servants Jan end Peter and her waiting-woman, Grieta. Her outward composure be- trayed little of the anxiety and dis- tress within. Above the subdued hum of conversa- tion a voice broke suddenly, cawing an evil song. The impish fool surged into the hall and sang his way through the crowd of suitors, who fell away before him. He reached the governor's closet and ssed in. The governor sat consider- g a list which had been placed before him by the usher. He looked up at the unceremonious entrance of the fool. “You are inopportune,” he greeted Bim. “So I perceived as I crossed the ante- chamber.” He leaned upon the table and ran a finger down the usher's list until he came to the name of Johanna Danvelt. There the finger paused. “I should begin there, since this is the only case that offers complexities and may delay you. The others are easily disposed of.” ‘The governor and the fool looked into each n&er‘n eyes. Rhynsalt yielded to the suggestion and the usher was in- structed. Johanna came, the usher withdrew, the fool retired into the background to Jounge unnoticed on the window seat, | set in & dee& embrasure.

The implied ement dismayed her again. And then came aid from an unex- quarter. Said the fool from the kground, almost peremptorily: “What season more proper than the present?” “Eh?” Frowning, the governor turned to stare at him. “Thank Johanna. i ol “Nay, mistress; no thanks. I but| ach my philosophy of life; which| to seize ever what the season sends.” | If the answer mystified her, it wa: clear to ult. He spoke again of his eagerness, his ardent desire to serve her in all things. “Your husband claims Count An- thony of Guelders for his friend, and au&r-wwum.mmmm"u Eai He watched her intently as he spoke. . hanna' ye!! dilated. Count Anthony had itself to her, had been weighed finally dismissed because of a terrible fear lest, ylelding to an overwhelming temptation to remove the obstacle that stood between them, the count's inter- vention now might have the result of precipitating her husband’s doom. Her confidence in the count’s honor ht not really permit her to believe thing. Yet not even in the last ex- test. the suf Philip himself should be sugh a thing appalled her. ‘Yet her bearing revealed nothing of this.

He had no previous knowltdge of him, and has had little since; certainly no knowl- edge that would enable him to speak to my husband’s character and pursuits; mor, can I suppose, sufficient interest o bring him to intervene.” Rhynsault appeared relieved. “It is g well,” he said. “For Count Anthony is with the army investing Liege, and there would be delays in reaching him.” “All to no purpose even then,” she Sepeated. “And fortunately not neces- v, since you have these letters.

Rhynsault swung him. “Begone!” he roared. “Out | this I'll have no ribaldries of rs.” “Provide your own, then” said the| fool, as he made for the door of an dnner room. ‘The smile with which the governor rned to Johanna was invested with a | esh meaning for her, now that her ses had been awakened by the fool. “*My jewel!’ ” he read again. “A jewel, | eed,” he agreed. “On my soul too| ir a jewel for any loutish burgher.’ She repressed all show of the indig- Metion that consumed her, save the| Soarlet flame that swept across her face. | “It . . . it is the signature, my lor that I desire you to consider.” “Oh, yes, the signature. But there tmore than a signature to be considered, | mistress.” He sank his voice to a gentle, wooing | note. He set a hand on the back of her chair and leaned over her as he spoke. Only the knowledge of his wer and that her husband's life lay m his hands and might be blotted out at his pleasure if he were provoked prevented her from using the weapons of righteous anger to break this evil @11 he wove about her. Abruptly he pushed the letters back fnto her hand. “Here, take you these.” “But . . . but you have not compared the writing.” “Pish! What shall the writing sig- ty to me?” Never a patient wooer, drove now straight to his ends. *“Your husband's life doesn't hang on & row of pothooks. l}t hangs on my ) in what you tell me.” b ‘ut there is more la?n that.

Mechanically she put forth her hand to receive them. The next moment it was in his grip. ‘What a little hand!” he murmured. “So white and slim and frail, yet strong enough to hold the destiny of a man. Look you, mistress, I place the life of Philip Danvelt in this white palm, to do with absolutely as you will. Surely, you would never have the heart to de- stroy it?" In a silence of horror she continued to stare at him until, swept by a gust of passion, he pulled her roughly from her clt‘llh' into his arms at a single wrench. Now at last active resistance Danvelt may have his life and go. One enfolding grip of those sinewy arms. “Let me go! Let me go at once!” “What? And leave your husband in the hangman's hands? Be kind, mis- tress, as you look for kindness in me. One little word from you and Philip awakened her. She battled against the little word.”, With an inarticulate ejaculation she writhed out of his grip; enough to lib- erate her right arm and hand. In a flash that hand had closed upon the hilt of the dagger hanging from his belt. Before he could even guess her intent, the blade was out, the point descending towards his throat. Within an inch of it, he caught her wrist and the dagger fell to the floor. “An ugly claw, mistress, for so fair a hand,” he mocked her. Then he grew stern. “Come, now! I've been gentle and played the gallant long enough. Will you pay for this attempt upon my life, or shall your husband? It is for you to choose.” “You fill me with horror! You un- clean beast!” The phrase brought him up as if it had been a blow. “And is it s0? Horrifying am I? Well, well! We must amend such un- natural feelings.” Shuddering at the sight of him, she turned abruptly to depart. " But he reached the door ahead of er. “Look you, mistress. I am not of those who take, as I might, what is not freely given. That is not my way." “Will you let me go?" she de- manded firmly, only anger and con- tempt in her eyes. “Ay, mistress, since you insist. But you shall come again, and soon, or Il stretch the neck of your loutish hus- band without mercy or scruple.” He held her glance a moment, then turned, flung wide the door, and stood aside to let her g-u She went out, her head high.

The rifie range of the local -Guard at Camp Simms, was inspected last week by Col. Isaac C. Jenks, in charge of National Guard affairs at the head. uarters of the 3d Corps Area at altimore, Md. He was accompanied to the range by Lieut. Col. Prederick C. Smith, adjutant general of the Guard. Officers explained that this was a routine inspection for the purpose of ascertaining the facilities available here for rifie shooting for the local troops. ‘The first year of the reorganization of the 20th Division Military Police Company was a big one, according to Gen. Stephan, who complimented the organization in an official letter. He said that he was pleased to note, of all the tactical units in the Guard, that the police company leads all in so far as attendance for the year 1929 is con- cerned. He said that this was a splen- did record, of which the company should feel proud, and commended the officers and men for it. “Outside of strict military duty,” the letter said, “the 20th Military Police Company served with credit and re- ceived special commendation for their services and assistance on the evening of July 4, in connection with the In- dependence day celebration on the Monument grounds; on November 11, in staging a most attractive ceremony in connection with Armistice day on the steps of the United States Capitol, at the behest of officlals of the United States, and in addition splendid service was rendered by your organization in co-operation with the United States Army in their exposition held at the War College to provide funds for the Army Relief Association. “In every instance when your organi- zation was called upon to assist in civic matters the response has always been cheerful and prompt. The com- manding general deeply appreciates this fine public spirit and splendid co- operation. “The morale, esprit and efficiency of the 29th Military Police Company has reached a high standard and is due to the untiring efforts of its commander, together with junior officers, non-com- missioned officers and enlisted men. The high standard in the 20th Military Police Company has been manif by the organization securing, own expense, a field uniform of latest design and of better material than that issued by the Government. The appea. ance of the organization has been greatly enhanced by this sacrifice made on the part of the enlisted personnel of the organization. “The duties of the military police company are exacting and by proper leadership can be brought to a high state of efficiency. From personal ob- servation I can say that the company is rapidly approaching a state of effi- clency far above the average. You will soon be placed in contrast with similar organizations of other divisions and it behooves each and every officer and enlisted man, alike, to put their shoul- ders to the wheel and cause the com- pany of the 29th Division to be rated ‘I: the most efficient in the 3d Corps rea. “These headquarters promises the best co-operation in assisting the 29th Military Police Company to attain the high iceals which it has set, con- gratulates you on your past year's suc- cess and bespeaks a continuance of your efforts witk: the feeling that your record for 1930 will surpass that of 1929.” General tightening up of the in- spections of Guard organizations while in the field during their Summer train- ing encampments is indicated by a letter received at headquarters last week. It announces that the the next encampment there will be a special board of Regular Amg.omm to de- termine the real combat efficiency of the unit, and details indicate that every feature of the training is to b¢ gone Pleasant voice | from patrolmen to captains, were tried out while radio engineers listened. It was more in the way of & lark than anything else that Sergt. Rose took his turn. He had scarcely begun speak- ing when the phone in the chief's office rang. The WOW engineers announced, “There’'s your man.” In Omaha homes, business houses, pool halls and wherever there is a radio receiver the voice of Sergt. Rose has become an institution. Housewives listen to his advice on safety first in the home; children heed the police- man's warning to wash behind their ears; the crook listens to advice to go straight and the flappers thrill at his “golden volce.” The cops have also organized a quartet. ional Guard into. Instructions have been issued by the 3d Corps Area Headquarters that two or three days of the second week of the encampment be set aside for this purpose. The inspections are not to be made by Army officers on regular detail with the units in the fleld. The Militia Bureau took the step when it found that it was not receiving from the present inspection reports, the data and information required. As & result of the proposed inspections, it was pointec out that the Departmental Bureau should obtain a clear-cut pic- ture of the combat efficlency of all organizations, and added that this can be accomplished only by actual par- ticipation of the organizations in com- bat and tactical exercises during these camps. The proficiency of the troops and efficiency of command in such ex- ercises, together with their performance in camp routine, strength present and sufficiency and condition of arms and equipment, should be the principal bases upon which ratings are assigned. In arriving at a conclusion as to the final rating to be assigned by an in- !Kectlcn board, the following factors, the department says, should be care- fully considered by the boards as a whole before finally rating the special units and organizations: The strength present in camp is & factor which is considered important in as much as only with an approach to 100 per cent can an accurate estimate of the real efficiency of an organiza. tion be determined. In the determin: tion of a rating to be assigned tactical and interior administration, considera- tion is to be given to the ability of commanders to formulate orders and cause them to be executed throughout the chain of command; to the function- ing of training of interior guards; to the operation and supervision of messes; to the provision for and operation of camp supply, and, in general, to the efficiency of all commanders in the supervision of camp routine. Combat efficiency is to be determined by the participation of all troops in combat exercises. If suitable exercises have been prepared by unit com- manders as part of the routine field training, such exercises will be observed by the inspection board and ratings as- signed based on the performance of the 1 participating. On the other hand, If suitable exercises have not been prepared they should be and their execution observed. Problems should be so designed, the Militia Bureau says, as to fit the available terrain and be applicable to the type of unit under inspection. In view of the policy of limiting the training of the Guard to sound basic training, it is considered by the Militia Bureau that, for the year 1930, these tests should be made by platoons, war strength, unless in the judgment of the area commander the training has reached a state of pro- ficlency to justify the employment of other units. Proficiency and efficiency of com- manders is to be determined by ob- servation of the qualities of command and leadership displayed by the various commanders during the progress of the tactical exercises. Members of the in- spection boards during the progress of camp are to observe such condi- tions as will determine the rating to be assigned to discipline and morale, such as military courtesy, promptness and orderliness in formations, quietness in camp after !:5, in which as- signed tasks performed and other similar evidences should be carefully ol . Careful estimate also is to be obtained of the completeness and condition of uniforms, arms and equip- ment. This 1 require an inspection in full fleld equipment, includi the pitching of shelter tents and display of equipment. Second Lieut. Pearson C. Conlyn, Company A, 121st Engineers, has been ordered to report to a board of officers for examination for promotion to the grade of first lleutenant in the Engi- neer Corps. Capt. J. C. Jensen, Ordnance De- partment, has been designated as cap- tain of all rifie teams to be designated later in the year and which will repre- sent the Guard in competitions during the calendar year 1930. In this capac- ity, he is to submit to the brigade head- quarters recommendations for the se- lection and training of a rifie team for participation in the national matches. Four organizations of the Guard to reach the classification of superior in drill attendance. Two of them, the Medical Department Detachment, 260th Coast Artillery, and the Quartermaster Corps Detachment, had 100 T cent of their personnel present. The other two were the 20th Division Military Po- lice Company, with 98.33 per cent, and the Headquarters Detachment, 20th Di- vision, with 95.74 per cent. The other organizations in their respective classi- fications, with percentages, follow: Excellent—Headquarters Detachment, 20th Division Special Troops, 87.51; Band, 121st Engineers, 832.35.

Stephan has recommended that vacancies on the 20th Division staff caused by the change in the tables of organization and authorizing the ap- pointment of one lieutenant colonel, Chemical Warfare Service, and one major, general staff section, be allo- cated to Maryland and Virginia, the former to get the Chemical officer and the latter the gene; officer. The recommendation was sent to the commanding general of the 3d Corps Area at Baltimore and letters sent to two States, asking concurrence in the recommendation. The change will involve the transfer of one lieu- tenant colonel in the division mul;lne and a major in the adjutant general lepart- ment, which two positions have been abolished. Brig. Gen. W. W. Sale, adjutant gen- eral of Virginia, has been asked to as- sign Maj. Willlam McKee Dunn of the adjutant’s section to the general staff section. Brig. Gen. Milton A.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK.—The Loftin-White am- | plifier, with a voice which roars forth | 2t the command of only two tubes, has | altered heretofore accepted knowledge | of audio systems. Ouu&lnz!ln[ probably is the fact that | a 224 screen grid tube, working directly | into a 25 output tube, will give un. | expected volume. ‘There also is the fact that hum disturbances are bal anced out merely by sending a dupli- cate of a 60-cycle hum through the | system. | Tube Performs as Detector. i Another feature is that the first tube | performs efficiently as a detector, work- ing just as smoothly on a weak signal as on a strong one, due to the fact thet the grid bias decreases on less input | and increases as the signal goes up. | The power pack, when compared with | accepted ideas of obtaining direct cur- rent without a_ripple, contains about half a filter. anced. The plate of the 224 is connected | directly to the grid of the 245, with a half megohm resister serving as the coupling device and completing the cir- cuit to the power pack voltage divider. At first glance it would seem that a positive and a negative current flows through it. This is not the case. Plate Negative to Own Filament. ‘The cathodes of the two tubes are not common to each other, being sepa- rately tied in at different points of the voltage divider. Thus the plate of the 224 is positive in respect to its cathode, and aithough the grid of the power tube is connected directly to the plate of the 224, it is negative in respect to its own filament. This unusual condition is due to the drop in voltage across the coupling re- sister caused by the plate current of the 224. The required negative bias of 50 volts is obtained at the 245 grid. THE LISTENERS’ FORUM Defends “Canned” Music. Radio Editor: Apropos of your note Yet hum is easily bai- | in The Star of January 26 relative to the use of phonograph records as radio material, will you permit me to offer a few personal observations? Having spent the past 20 years as a professional musician, my attitude to- ward the music of the radio is often too critical to enable me to enjoy every- thing that comes over the air labeled music. It seems to me that many stu- dios send out their impressions of an orchestra with a total disregard for the relative proximity of the instruments to the “mike.” As a result of this in- difference one does not hear a weil balanced tonal picture, but a one-col- ored, monotonous dissertation from whatever instrument that happens to be closest to the microphone. This does not necessarily indicate an inferior orchestra, I gladly admit, for in listen- ing to the same orchestra from one of the better records played over the radio each instrument is brought into its proper relief. One gets the idea of a harmonious whole and not a flat-col- ored caricature. Obviously, in making records regard is given relative frequen- cles and instruments are placed ac- cordingly. I much prefer the resonant “boom” of a bass on a record to the dead “bump” of the same bass tmml the studio. Perhaps these remarks may sound artificial, may cause the comment thntl all who listen are not acousticians. I should like to say to this that America is musical. The radio has done morc in five years to make America musical than any gre-ndlo agency could have done in a dozen generations. No longer can a musiclan say, “I will play any old way and no one will know the dif- ference.” ~America is entitled to the finesse of a Rembrandt portrait and not the whitewash covering which is sprayed on a barn as a veneer. From another angle, many of the lesser stations cannot give the public what we call the better class of music, either because of financial conditions or the fact that that talent does not abound in the region they serve. Many, people who criticize records over ths radio are content to listen to the ea- cophonous mechanics accompanying -a motion picture without comparing the audible value of such mechanical audi- tion with the box office price of admis- sion. There is a tendency to feel that one is cheated when one listens to a record because in a mechanical repro- duction one is deprived of the person- ality which emanates from the studio presence. The superiority of the personal equa- tion is not denied, but the point I wish to bring out is this: I would much rather listen to a well balanced orches- tra from a good record than an indif- ferent orchestral arrangement from the studio. I prefer to attend the playing of & good record than the grating at- tempts of a few village “cut-ups” to be funny. I do not condone the total use of records, nor do I believe the Radic Commission should allow it, but I do believe there are many things coming over the radio that are decidedly infe- r:o{. to good records.—Washington Mu- sician. Where Is the Fish Station? Radio Editor: Last Sunday morning about 3 o'clock I tuned in a station that was broadcasting on a wave of approximately 395 meters and about 690 kilocycles. There was two hours’ difference in time, as he said it was 1 o'clock when it was 3 o'clock our time. ‘The station was broadcasting the weather report and announced it would broadcast to the fishermen later in the morning. The announcement was pe- cullar in that there were long pauses between his sentences. A trumpet would sound after each selection. This is the second time I have had this station. The first time it was broadcasting the quantities of fish on hand at different points. Can you help m kl‘oen,« this station-—Robert Otter- * ok ok X ‘The radio department is sorry, .

Bellows, one of the founders members of the Federal Radio Commis- sion and throughout the history of radio broadcasting a prominent figure in that fleld, has been elected vice president of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Mr. Bellows has been advisory coun= | sel to the Columbia System and head | of the advisory board of its farm com= munity network since November. He has a thorough background in press relations and newspaper publicits and when the Federal Radio &.‘mmlllZ sion was created by President Coolidge on the recommendation of his Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, Bellows, together with Admiral W. H. G. Bil- lard, was called to membership with the new Government body. Sam Picard, who is also a vice president of the Co- lumbia organization, later became & member of the commission, succeeding Bellows.
