(2) The man who is contemplating the purchase of, or has yet to complete the payments on a ra- dio receiving set can secure con- solation by thinking of the troubles of EB, M, Statler, who lately made a boast that has just cost him one million dollars, The story is this: B. M, Statler has been advertis- ing for the last decade that any traveler who finds himself in a Statler Hotel will find at his dis- posal all the facilities and com- forts of home. In the last twn years the radio has become an integral part of every, or nearly every home. Mr. Statler was fac- ed with the necessity of installing a radio in every room in all of his hotels--7,700 radio receiving sets at one installation. Furnishing a portable or semi- portable set for gach room obyi- ously had its disadvantages. The sets are difficult to tune, unles you are familiar with the particu- lar type, which his guests might not be, and maintenance would he a tremendous source of worry.and expense, Mtlines Needs Mr, Statler called in Karr Park- er, consulting encinecer, and trord him of his predicament. He ex- plained that in a few months, the New Hotel Statler, Boston, would start huildinz, and commissioned him to design a unit system that would afford perfect reception, simple operation, choice of pro- grams, and adaptability to pro- grams not op the air. This was three years ago. When Hotel Statler, Boston, opened on Mareh 10, 1927, each and every guest found a radio in the room to which they were as- signed, In a small table beside the bed was a drawer marked '"Ra- dio." In the drawer were a head set and a threc switch, the latter marked **1," "2" and "Nen- tral." By placing the phones In position and the switch on either 1' or **2," a program was heard. Throwing the switeh to the other numbered post brought in a dif- ferent program. '"Neutral" shut off the ma 1e. In the there were loud gneakers, operated on the same type of switch.

These are the Western Electric Commereia) type, operating on the principle of douple detection and intermediate frequency amplification. The re- ceiving apparatus has wave filters and is extremely sensitive and selective. Programs can be re- ceived from stations hundreds of miles away without interference from the local station broadcast- ing from the roof of the same building. Tuning for various wave lengths is done by means of the oscillator and tuning condensers. The amplifiers take the audio current from the radio receivers and multiply its strength hun- dreds of thousands of times for distribution throughout the hotel. The operator has monitor loud speakers in the control room, and maintains the proper volume on the circuits by means of adjustable transformers and rheostats.

Murder is 8 relic of barbarism, apd murder has survived capital punishment in several States--the State of slichigan, for instance."'--Hamil- ton Herald. Judge F. W. Breppan of Mich- izan, who recently passed sent- ice upon the murderer of little Dorothy Schneider, used to think like the Buffalo clergyman. He changed his mind over the Schnel- der case, saying that it hed com- vinced him of the necessity of capi- tal punishment, particularly as a murderer whom he had previously sentenced to life imprisonment had escaped, and afterwards committed another murder. To take any map's life by law or otherwise is a very grave thing. But it is questionable if a less pen- alty than death for murder has any deterrent effect upon anybody. Sometinres discourses are heard to the effect that imprisonment for life is a more terrible, or at least a more frightening penaity, than death. Such theory is little ter than ap insult to the intelli- gence of most of the public, who have noted the features of mur- der trials anywhere.

Much maudlin sentiment is wasted upon him, Much sob-sister philosophy is printed and preached for nls defence. In our weeping and walling for the human rat who did the murder we forget the poor wie- tim apd her family and friends. We sometimes almost talk of them ®8 though they were urging organ- fzed society to make a vietim of this vicious animal. We speak of the State killing another victim. Before we are through with our ridiculous vaudeville trials we have stirred ourselves into such a state of maudlin sentimentalism that we talk as though we had an archangel on trial and that the blood-thirsty believers in capital punishment must have a victim to appease their thirst for blood. "Great jurists like William Ho- ward Taft are asking that we pay some attention to the poor victims and to the protection of decent citizens from the vicious, dastard- ly murderer and less attention te the protection of the murderer.

"You sneer at primitive ven- geance, at the punitive methods of dealing with crime. What are you going to put in ts stead? You do not know. You . haye some faint ideas about what you would do, but if at this moment you were called upon to give us a sys- tem of dealing with criminals that will protect society, you could not do it." The writer made a further point, however, which is pertin- ent whether we believe in capital punishment or pot: "I believe in the relentless. en- forcement of capital punishment as is done in England and other countries that have been experi- menting with crimes longer than we have. Those countries have the feeble-minded and all other types of minds just as we have, but they do not have the deadly hur- ricape of 'crime that exists in Am- erica." "As is done in England."
