Bureau of Narrowness
Washington, May 6. An attack
on the veterans', bureau and the !
ciat senate ho.piuliation committee
was nude today in the senate by
Senator A.liur.t, democrat. Arizona,
who declared that the "narrow, rei
tionary policy", of the bureau was
that sick veterans who had gone let
Arizona could die there without aid
or go where the bureau directed for
treatment,
Senator Aliurst said more than
1,W0 veterans suffering with tubercu
losis who had gone into hit state be
lieving that the climate there would
aid them were in need of hospitalua
turn, and that he had taken the mat
ter up with the president and the

Bedspring as a Harp.
It is not at all necessary to be dis
couraged if you live in the kind of
apartment house where the landlord
is unalterably opposed to having
antennae hung up on the roof. The
old, and generally serviceable trick,
is to rig your receiving set to your
bedspring, using that as an antenna.
If you have a fairly efficient set, or
even one of the very small crystal
detector outfits, satisfactory results
from this hook-up may be expected.
'If your bedspring is not available,
you can still use your fire escape as
an antenna only first be sure that
you scrape the paint clean from the
point where you connect with your
detector.
