Known to technicians uh oscil lation, thlH electrlcul condition which rudlo englncera worked so lonir to eradicate from the broad cast receiver Is the foundation of tho Invention of Leon Theremin, nusBlan scientist and Inventor. Ho lias mudo oscillations behave. They now come from the loud speaker kh sweet tonea of music rather than growls and screeches which once were the bane 'of the owners of regenerative nnd radio fniuncy sts. Professor Theremin really has gone the meat packer one better. Tho packer soils practically every thing from tho hog but tho squeal. The inventor uses tho radio squeal to make inelodloUH tones. How Is It done? Tubes Just like those of the rudio set produce the squeal that results In a com bination of tones duplicated by noother musical instrument. Eight tubes housed In a com pact cabinet with a music sheet rest, generate and amplify the os cillations. There aro two clacuits to build UP oscillations. Tliose produce a beat tioto. or a third scries of oscillations, In a mixing tubc which la then fed Into the audio stages and loudspeaker. Tho Instrument, numcd ufter tho Inveutor who has granted an i option on exclusivo patent rights I to the l'tadlo-Vlclor corporation, has throe 227 tubes us osclllutors. riio mixer tube is a screen grid. wo 171a's lire audio amplifiers, nd a 120 acts as a volumo con trol bulunce tube. I Action Is entirely electrlcul. Un like uny other musical instrument there are no strings or mechanical devices to produce musical vibra tions.' Tone vibration and volume Is regulated merely by waving the hands In, the air. To tho uninitiated, a person playing - the device seems to be an orchestra; leader without an orchestra. There is music but no apparent means or producing It visible except something resemb ling n dignified music rack. Movements ot tho hands are all important. They alter the mag netic fields which encircle two rods that servo as antennae. Ono rod, a straight bar, controls tone or pitch. The other, a loop ed horizontal bar, regulates vol ume. Nearness of the hands to the rods determines volumo and the frequency or pitch of the music. Tho closer tho left hand to the volume rod the softer the note.

L the same )w to par- "T e, which ' (Uy Frank I. Wcller, Associated Press Farm Kdltor.) WASH INGTON (P) Character izing mechanical and cultural con trol methods as "thus far not wholly effective," the department of agriculture has imported afi ad ditional four large shipments, of parasites to fight the Japanese beetle. Since the pest first entered the United Slates in soil surrounding the roots ot Jupanese nursery stock shipped lu ltlverWn, K. J.. the government has tried to control it by trapping and quarantine. Wasps that uro parasites ot the beetle in its native land have been liberated, but with little more success than other control measures. However, parasltlzatlon Is prom ising and the government believes ihnt necessity for attempt at con trol by the biological method is evident. It has been observed that para sites of the gypsy moth are par ticularly successful In seasons gen--iiv uilversn to the Insect, l'.e- (r there are enough favorable ..,,,.. fco- the moth to win back Its Ucslruclivoncss tho parasites again have diminished Its numbers.

Already It Is ft' major pest wher ever It, occurs in eastern regions. In nn orchard of 106 ten-year old peach trees, 13 ID-gallon tubs of beetles were shaken from tho trees and collected in somewhat less than two ' hours. Tho next , morn ing tho beetles apparently were as numerous us before. Thoy make lace-work of follago, attack fruit, garden truck and field crops.

Thus far the centerer clnerea, which resembles a fly, has been tho most successful parasite of the bottle; but it has a parasite, too the spalangia'. a wasp-like creature that entomologists are, careful to keep out of the country.

But people can give an automobile prestige. The rapidly growing public ac ceptance for the Auburn car ele vates it to a position of unquest ioned eminence today. In fact so gret is the public's confidence in Auburn's value and so great its preference for Auburn's exclusive distinction, that we are again war ranted in enlarging our plant facil ities and in making plans for even larger Auburn production immed iately. This growth is not accidental. There must be a definite reason for it. And that reason is the prestige that Auburn owners are giving to the Auburn car. We have always tried to avoid the superlative; tried not to boast. But we have made claims; strong, sweeping, unqualified claims. In variably however we have attach ed a rider to our claims. For example, today we claim the Au burn cars give greater value, longer wheelbase, stronger frames, more power, easier handling, finer performance, greater safety, com fort and endurance THAN ANY OTHER CAR FOR THE MONEY. What is the rider? Simply this: You are invited to compare and The following records of Auburn's remarkablo strides in winning public approval arc given because Auburn owners are entitled to this information. It again vindicates their own judgment: Auburn's percentage of sales vol ume increase is the greatest in the industry. 100 increase the first five months of this year compared to last. 84.3 increase in June this year over June last year. ' 103 increase in July this year over July last year. 95.6 increase in August this year over August last year. arid September this year was the greatest September in all Auburn history. - Passenger car sales volume increase of 58.5 for 12 months;. June 30, 1928 to June 30, 1929 greatest for ny company having the same continuous management for three years or more, exclusive of Ford. $995 G cylinder 120 inch wheelbase $1395 Straight Eight 125 inch wheelbase $1795 Straight Eight 130 inch wheelbase drive the Auburn, to verify our claims and if the car does not prove them true, and sell itself, you will not be asked to buy. Auburn's prestige with the public is built upon that solid policy. Our attitude has inspired confidence in tens of thousands of experienced motorists. After thorough examin ation and testing they have become Auburn owners. Their good will, in turn, constantly widens the circle of Auburn popularity. Additional thousands are learning that Auburn DOES give more for the money; Auburn DOES give Straight Eights for less than many Sixes; Auburn DOES render greater satisfaction .over a longer period; Auburn IS a more profit able investment. It is obvious therefore why Auburn sales have steadily increased throughout this entire year C&s they did last year and the year before).
