Skeptical Neighbors Hear Wireless Telephoning From Catalina Thru Wakefield Boys9 Receiving Station Isn t this tireless telephoning wonderful, mother, talking thirty miles across the water," said a young man on Catalina island off the coast of southern California, to his mother in Los Angeles, talking Bhortly after 8:30 oclock last night. "Quite wonderful, agreed Homer and Lynn Wakefield, amateur wire less operators, 19 and 17 years of age, as they sat In their improved receiving station at 631 North University avenue, this city, and listened in on the conversation. Since the Provo boys were not equipped with sending apparatus, their comments did not disturb the conversation of the mother and son, 800 miles away. The Wakefield boys fcave been picking up telephone communications between the wireless telephone station at Avalon, Catalina island, and Los Angeles, every night for the last two weeks. Their reports to this effect having provoked the laughing skepticism of neighbors and friends, they arranged a little demonstration, supplied the skeptics with head pieces, and allowed them to listen in. Fourteen in all heard the phenomenon. According to the listeners, the conversations were clearly distinguishable some thought more so than in the use of the wire One conversation heard consisted of an order of green groceries gien by a retailer on Catalina islandfo a produce hsuse in Los Angelejvr The order Included one dozen bunches of carrots, two dozen of spinach, one dozen watercress, one oVate good let tuce and one half dozen oyster plants. The message concluded with the request: "Tell Mrs. Blank to call up the Arrowhead and have them send one gallon of water. The vegetables must come by express." In another conversation a woman on the island said, "I am on Catalina. Tell them Ill Jtje .home -t- omorrow night. We are allowed only so long to talk on the wireless. Others are waiting, so I will have to quit." Those who listened in and were convinced were J. F. and Mrs. Wakefield, parents of the amateurs; Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Illggs, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Olson, Professor Marshall of the B. Y university, John McIntosh, Rex Johnson, Cessford Kerr. Rulon Biddulph and Harvard Olsen. The Wakefield hoys said that the conversations were picked up with an equipment that consisted of a 100-fo- aerial, ot feet above thirty-fiv- e ground, supplemented by a one-tudetector, without an amplifier. Previous conversations had been heard with a crystal detector, hut could not be heard clearly enough to distinguish the import. be Government Garden arid Flower Seeds To Be Distributed Free Of Charge By The Provo Post The Post ls ln receipt of a com- 17 packages ot flower seeds and 170 munication from Senator Reed Smoot packages of garden seeds.

Provo American Legion-B- , basketball team was forced to enter the .tournament against the Tabernacle five of Kansas City in the big national amateur tournament last night, with the result that the Kansas City players rolled in a flock of baskets in the last five minutes of the game and defeated the Provo team by a score of 50 to 39. The game is reported ln a special dispatch to have been the feature event of last nights playing, From the opening whistle the two teams battled nip and tuck and the score was tied five times until the final spurt which landed the Kansas City team on top of the heap. The members of both fives had their eyes on the hoop with deadly effect, while the guarding of the game was loose. Baskets from all angles and. all spots on the floor were features. The game' resembled a track meet from the standpoint of speed displayed by the players. Dunn, Provo forward, proved the sharpshooter of the evening for the Utah five by caging seven goals from all angles. Edwards, center, also ran wild with the ball for a time, but his scoring was Shut off abruptly when ecoring counted most. The tournament ls so arranged that the losing teams drop out and the last team winning is declared the champion. Eight teams played last night, four ot which dropped out.
