Sto Hurra: to :10 I'houe Plurr nt SirJh St. in the Pioneer Radio Store One Week from Monday to Saturday March 31 to April 5 Free Admission Wcinamaker'3 was the first store to install a Marconi wireless station in 1907. It was this station which received the first wireless news of the tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912. The station is still in operation between the two Wanamaker stores, New York and Philadelphia. A little later this station talked by radio phone with a ship at sea.

Wanamaker was the first radio broadcasting store station in Manhattan. With this background of pioneering in this new industry in which are engaged 3,000 manufacturers and 250 thousand workers making and selling yearly nearly 300 million dollars of radio appliances used by probably ten million people who "listen in" nightly, it is natural that Wanamaker's should now present The Last Word in Radio in exhibits, in new products, in public broadcasting and in expert service in the store and in the home. The exhibits cover an immense amount of room, overflowing the Radio Salons and extending almost a city block from Fourth Avenue towards Broadway on the First Gallery of the new Wanamaker Building. They include: 1. Complete new line of the Radio Corporation of America shown for the first time in its entirety in New York City the new Radiolas, including the SUPER HETERODYNE the supreme achievement of radio research art.

In this new line "there's a Radiola for every purse and purpose," ranging in price from $35 to $425. All the models will be demonstrated in cur Festival. But so great was tb demand, upon the first announcement, that for the present only orders can be taken, t-j be filled as the Radiolas come from the factories. Deliveries will be mc.de in order of applU cation, beginning vnthin a few weeks. If you place your order first you will get first delivery.

2. Other radio receiving appliances for immediate delivery: The Ware Neutrody tie The Sleeper Monotrol The Cutting Washington Teledyne l). TheR.CA. official historical exhibit, showing the past, present, and a glimpse into the future of radio. 4.

Army and Navy official exhibit of radio appliances. 5. Westinghouse exhibit of the making of radiotrons. 6. Model working exhibits of the use of radio in various fields in the home, in the office, in the school, in the city, in the suburbs, on farm, in camp, and en tour on vacations portable, traveling radl: that can be operated while touring.

Rumors that the new type of grate so strongly recommended for installation in the public schools of the city at a roughly estimated cost of by Dr. John A. Ferguson of the Board of Education are manufactured by a concern in which a close relative of Dr. Fer guson is financially interested were today denied.

Bercy Litchfield, vice-president of the Economy Grate and Bqulpment of 280 Madison Manhattan, stated emphatically that to his knowledge no relative of Dr. Fer guson's was in any way connected with the company. Mr. Litchfield is also head of the Litchfield Con struction Company which is doing number of subway jobs. Arthur S.

Somers of. the Board of Education, and in charge of the coal supply of the schools, said to day that his objection to tiie recommendations of the Mayor's physician were based solely on unfortunate personal experience with so-called 'fuel savers. He said that he in-ended looking into the new grate end If it did what it claimed to do he would promote its installation in the schools. 'Phis new grate which burns No. 3 buckwheat coal is claimed to effect a.

saving in fuel cost of B0 percent. It has been tested and highly praised by the mechanical engineering department of New York University. HADE TO PLAX BOYS WEEK PROGRAMS. District Superintendent John Wade has Iven named as the official representative of Dr. William L- Kt-tinger.

"wo basket balloons held suspendel in ins air ine saxophonist and cornet-ist, upon whom the gayety of the boxes descended when the colorful throng on the floor had directed its merriment to other parts of the room.

Crimson was the predominating color in the costumes at last night's ball, Mexican, Spaniard, Gvpsv, Rusb, Cherry-ripes, Mephistopheles supplying many of the inspirations for the gorgeous scarlet effects.

After a meeting of the sub-com-nlttee on teachers' salsries. st Washington Irvins High School, Manhattan, last night, the indications were that at today's meeting of the Joint salary committee, at the West Ride Continuation School, the tentative schedules would in general be accepted.

If they sro ae. cepted, it will mean that a bill to in. crease the salaries of the teachers can be presented at Albany on Mpn-day. As the salaries of the teachers in all of the different groups stand now, it takes over 70 different schedules to tell the story, but the HstB prepared by the schedule committee, of which Nathan Silberstein is chairman, will have the thing reduced to about 20 schedules. An argument that threatened to hold up progress on last night's meeting was on the question of the relative pay of the directors of special activities and these in the administrative positions.

A motion to place the salary of these directors at $9,000 a year. was finally carried. Ther are seven directors that come jnder this classification. They are the directors ef lectures and visual Instruction, reference and research, music, evening and continuation schools, vocational activities, play grounds, and hygiene and physical training. A change was made in the salary orODOsed for district superintend' tnts.

At Wednesday's meeting it was placed at J8.000. but was lowered Inst nieht to S8.000. Other minor changes were made, consisting ehirf- ly of the consolidating or me scnoa-ules for two groups into one, as a nart of the boiling down process. Miss De Vinne Protests Editor Brooklyn Daily Engle: An article appearing In your issue of Friday is headed "Assistant Principals Indorse Ettinger Over Opposition," "Miss Nicol's Cohorts Lose Fight at Stormiest Session of Association." Permit me to say as president of the association that these statements are unauthorised and untrue. There was no opposition to the indorse ment ef Dr.

Ettinger. On tho con. trarv, resolutions offered by Mis3 Mary Corbett were unanimously adopted. There were no "steam roller" nor "gag methods" used. By an oversight, as chairman, neglected to cali for discussion after the motion was seconded.

There was in reality nothing to discuss. However, there was no intent on my part to prevent discussion, and no unseemly haste in passing tho resolutions. The point is that another member having resolutions of like nature ta offer was probably disgruntled nt not being first on tho floor. Therefore dissatisfaction arose. The second member offered her resolutions as an amendment, and a small group not finding satisfaetion in this began to dispute.

Recognizing my error in not Ailing for discussion. I very willingly canceled the entire proceedings and appeased the second lady by allowing her to read her resolutions, which were adopted also unanimously. Just what is meant by Miss Nieols "gang" I am at a loss to understand. If Miss Nicol's friends are alluded to I still do not get the point, for I thought all In the association for which she has labored and to which she has unsparingly devoted her energies were her friends. Success frequently brings with It petty jealousies, unfortunately more manifest among women than men.

But. as women expand politically their vision will broaden and this pettiness will disappear. As one of Miss Nicol's friends and associates who has worked with lvr for the advanrement of the association throughout the years, who has admired her tact, efficiency and strong personality. I resent being re ferred to as a member or a gang. Miss Nicol never had a "gang." Sh-s is above all else a lady.

Members of this association for 10 years have discussed, debated and differed amicably on school problems. Only once before was there invective, indulgence In personalities and ill temper displayed, and on both thos occasions, as the writer of the article admits, it came from the same sourc persons who rarely or never attended tiie meetings. It is most unfortunate to plac; I before the public a picture of women in a. superior position, chosen guides to young teachers, who debase themselves and bring odium upon themselves and the schools by hurl ing undignified and abusive expressions at one another. I I trust, you will be fair enough to give this article the sam' publicity i-n o-mi'A In IhA vet sion of the meeting.
