The Grebe
"Color tone,y
hushes annoying sounds and al
lows notes of voice and instrument
to reach you in full natural tones
IT enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
speech or music from high, thin
pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The "S's” and the "H's” are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miss a demonstration of this great
Grebe innovation.

MUNICIPAL RAILWAY
1 OF SEATTLE SUBJECT
TO SEARCHING Wil
FORMER THEATERICAL MAN
CHARGES THE SYSTEM IS IN
SOLVENT
SEATTLE, Sept. 27. (£>)—The fi
nances of the Municipal Railway Sys
tem was being subjected to a deet
and searching inquiry before Federal
Judge Frank S. Deitrich, of the U. S.
I Circuit of Appeals, yesterday, in an
effort on the part of the attorneys
representing John G. Von Herberg to
prove that the entire system is insol
vent. 0
The suit is that of Mr. Herberg, who
seeks to prove that the railway sys
tem is insolvent and that the City
Council, in authorizing loans to the
railway fund, from the electric light
plant, is lowering the financial stand
ing of the latter and he seeks to re
strain this action.
MAKES GAS AT HOME
MARTON, Wash., Sept. 27. (£>)—
Lack of natural gas or gas from a
city plant does not deprive Soren
Christienson, who lives on a ranch
near here, of cooking and lighting
conveniences. From 140 pounds of
musty alfalfa hay, straw, Russian
thistles, sage brush, cornstalks, saw
dust, weeds and other refuse he
manufactures by baking two hours in
a retort enough gas to last the fami
ly seven days.
Cottage cheese tastes better from

(By Cannon Ball)
Assistant Radio Engineer GalleUy,
I U. S. Army and Staff Sergeant Phil
Reed, Signal Corps, were making pre
1 parations this morning to uncover the
! radio interference in Seward. A loop
antenae and other techincal instru
ments were installed on a government
i truck which guaranteed to “smell”
out any local interference with the
operation of the government receiving
sets.
1 -
There are a number of direct cur
rent generators and refrigerator cool
ing systems and other electrical con
trivances in Seward which all in one
way or another tend to destroy and
so distort incoming radio signals as .
; ^o make is practically useless to ’try
' and operate radio receiving sets in
j town. There are a great many folks j
| who have invested considerable good i
money to install these sets with the j
expectation of enjoying the music and
other entertainment broadcast over
the ether, and are bitterly disappoint
ed simply because a small minority
insist upon setting up electrical ma- j
chinery without taking a little precau- j
f'tion to ground an electrical disturb
ance which might be set through its 1
| operation.
j It is fervently hoped by all radio
i fans that such interferences as might
be uncovered thru the efforts of Mr. ;
| GalleUy and Sgt. Reed will be speed
i ily remedied and broadcast entertain
' ment be enjoyed, as it was intended
| it should be.
i _:
Another form of interference which
; is going to be harder to deal with, ia
the regenerative sets whose operators
I
seem to delight in spoiling the enjoy
ment of others by deliberately making
them howl and squeal, poor sport
at that
Last minute cancellation of reser
vations wa3 made by William L Cur
ry, S. C., who was slated to leave for
the “Outside” on the Aleutian last
Sunday. Mr. Curry was taken sud
denly ill and was not, considered by
the doctor as being able to travel at
this date.

The state game and fish commission
