A Radio Fraud
N March 18 I invited several friends to bring their children and "listenin" to Admiral Byrd’s address, . I tuned into Wellington and was getting good results, when suddenly the Admiral’s voice faded away completely. After spending some time trying to recapture it, without success, I switched off. "Oh, Mr. B." exclaimed one of my friends, when my husband joined us for afternoon tea, "the wireless was a fraud. He glanced inquiringly at me, and I reluctantly admitted that it had been. "I feel so stupid," I said, Wytr a deprecating smile. Upon investigation we discovered that the earth wire had been broken off close to the peg by one of the younger children, who had been sent outside to play.-Nada.
