Dr. Frank Conrad, the ‘‘father of
radio broadcasting,” recently
awarded the gold medal of the
American institute for his *‘guiding
genius in developing the world’s
first radio broadcasting system.”
The master clock which ticked
off his higher destiny hung in
the plant of the Westinghouse
company in Pittsburgh. It was
a highly reputable old clock, but
Mr. Conrad didn't altogether
trust it. He and another em-
ployee made a bet as to which
had the more accurate watch,
through a week of time-keeping.
Mr, Conrad refused to accept
the decision of the office clock.
In an unused garage near his
home at Wilkinsburg, he rigged
a crude receiving apparatus to
catch time signals from the na-
val station at Arlington, Va. He
caught them, but he also caught
some added starters which he
could not at first explain. Em-
ploying a primitive direction
finding device, he located them
as apparently springing from a
slag heap about a block away.
He didn’t find the source there,
but he did find it a few steps

rios of the first feeble birth cries

The little, brown, diligent
head-man of Santo Domingo is

power 10 years ago, the junta of
exiles here has been stacking
him up as another Hitler. But
just now, he signs a contract
admitting 500 families of exiles
from Germany and Poland, do-

and says provision will be
made for 100,000 additional set-
tlers in the future. The con-
tract grants citizenship to the
newcomers and pledges their
freedom from “molestation, dis-
crimination or persecution.”

Repp is one of the worsteds that is

A delicate sheer fabric and heavy

tone, are combined in a romantic
evening gown designed by Edith
Head. The dress itself is made of
sheer silk, cut with a swir cir-

a basque sweater. The bodice is
embroidered in ropelike bands of
gold threads and the whole crea.
