As a child in Moscow, she pored over her un cle's law books, and, early in her 'teens, entered the University of , Moscow, hoping to become a mod ern Portia and defend the unfor tunates who were being persecut ed under the Czar's government. Hearing her beautiful! soprano voice, when ehe sang for them af ter classes, Mme. Kurenko's fel low law students persuaded her to devolop her local talents at the Moscow Conservatory. She be came a pupil of the famed Mozetti there, and graduated in music from the Conservatory and in law from the university the same year. She was admitted to the bar in Moscow and was practicing law when Mazetti prevailed upon her to accept an engagement at the opiTi house in Kbarkoff, and it was there that she made her de but a little over eight years ago.

A male game warden cannot get cloae enough to them, unobserved, to catch them In the act. Then An hoar or two later the sus pected see a diminutive, trim fem inine figure in sports garb com ing toward them, rod In hand and whipping the pools as she ap proaches. About the time they discover she isn't trying to flirt with them, she has obtained the evidence she needs, flashes her star and either cites them or places them under arrest. Mrs. Sellmer carries a revolver In a bolster under her leatherette coat and can shoot the top out of a can at considerable distance. She takes trips of several days length1 Into the hills sometimes with her husband who Is captain of patrol of the district bordering Sen Fran cisco bay on the North, and some times alone drives her own car, rides horseback or hikes into the mountain regions. She has arrested as many as five at one time and in this in stance drove them In her own car to the office of a Justice of the peace, who fined them. As yet she "has never had to use Ker revolver for usually per sons she has apprehended have been to crestfallen even to argue. One or two have told the Judge they thought it was worth the cost.

The modern equipment of KMX, San Francisco, is pictured below. 1927 stipulates that "all stations must so far as practicable be es tablished and operated so as not to interfere with the radio communi cation or services of other con tracting governments and of in dividuals or private enterprises authorized by these contracting governments to carry on public radio communication service." It is pointed out that in cases where the radio service of private commercial enterprises of the United States Interfered or con flicted with Canadian public serv ice communication, priority should be accorded the Canadian service. In expressing the hope that a way be found to fulfill the Canadians' -equest for a uniform policy the State department points otrt'that Canada cooperated fully with the United States In the International Radio Telegraph Conference. The State department also expresses the destre that the United States, as the host and because the con- FAN FRANCISCO (AP) Woman and radio are proving the nemesis of violators of fish and game laws of California. While there is only one woman deputy warden the system has checked poaching and other viola tions in three counties in the juris diction of Mrs. Mary T. Sellmer. Although the scores of fish and game deputies are being equipped with portable receivers, state ope rated transmitters at San Francis co. Los Angeles and Sacramento are used principally to send de partmental messages between the various offices. However, the val ue of -the portable receivers for the field men will be proved soon.

RADIO BEAMS FAIL AS NAVY ME AID Interference May Be Caused Between Beacons As More Airways very erratic. The engineers assert that, while the radtobeacon Is ex cellent on a straight airway, as it only necessitates the carrying of a small receiver by a plane and re quires practically no radio knowl edge by the pilot. It is not useful on any airway that Is curving or otherwise Irregular. Interference also may be caused between beacons as the airways throughout the country Increase,' causing an Increase in the number of beacons established on these routes, the engineers point out! However, beacons at coastal air stations will be very valuable In! time of war for aircraft patrol op perations, as they will lnsre that the patroling craft over the sea sectors designated, the engineers ay. There are two other general methods in use and under develop ment for determining the position of aircraft. They are radio com passes installed at shore stations and on board ships which take bearings of transmitters carried by aircraft and radio compass or fixed compass loops installed in the aircraft which take bearings on radiobeacons or the transmit ters on the ground or on surface ships. The Navy now uses the first method extensively and will continue to do eo, the experts de clare. London Pubs Decrease With Passing of Years LONDON. England fAP) - Eighteen hundred and forty .'pubs' have been closed in the London area since the Licensing Act of 1904 went into effect. That Is 24 percent of the "pubs" or saloons which existed in 1904. The number continues to decline annually, to the discomfort of owners of licens ed premises who are clamoring for the repeal of the act on the ground that further reduction is not necessary. "Pub" owners are also endeav oring to have the closing hoars al tered In such a manner that they will be uniform throughout the London area. At present many public houses must close at 10 at night, while those in neighbor ing borough may remain open to 11. Allen S. Belsher, chairman of the Licensed Victuallers Central Protective society of London, in addressing the annual meeting of that organization, urged that the- retail liquor trade should be left in the hands of retailers and that no experiments should be made with schemes for the nationaliza tion of the liquor trade.

WASHINGTON ( A P ) Al though satisfactory results have been obtained with radiobeacons aa direction finders for army and mall planes, experiments reveal that they are not yet abaptable for general use with naval aircraft. One of the principal reasons for this, naval radio engineers de clare, is that the installation of a radioheacon aboard ship is unfeas ible, due to the extensive antenna system necessary. To date the only frequencies which naval radio men. have found possible to utilize for transmission of beacon signals are those In the Intermediate frequency band. High frequencies have been tried, but the action of the beacon has been CLETRAC MODEL W For sale cheap. Good used Tractor Parts for sale. Tractors Repaired.
