Lloyd Kridler of Perndale, near here, was killed almost instantly recently. Kridler's aerial wire came in contact with a high tension loop of the Detroit Edison company. He was felled by the high voltage. Ross Callahan and Richard Porter, in charge of a lungmotor equipment of the Detroit City Gas company, were summoned and worked three-fourths Of an hour in an attempt to revive the victim. Although he was alive when first aid was attempted, he never regained consciousness.

Radiolo, the official announcer of France's single broadcasting firm. Six months ago he was discovered working in a railroad accountant's office. Manufacturers of an apparatus offered him a contract at a salary of 1,000 francs a week to talk into the transmitter for thfee hours daily. His voice is considered to have a greater resonance than that of either Caruso or Jean de Reszke at the height of their careers. But Radiolo is finding his fame irksome, as he can no longer attend theaters without having the audience rise. The performance at a suburban theater was stopped in the middle of the first act last week until Radiolo, who had entered, satisfied the Radio fans by repeating without a smile the phrase which introduces all French wireless programs "Bon soir, mesdames; bon soir, messieurs." r ~\ ;5rmicX A Lroimuii Phenolic Gmdnisation Product .SHEETS TUBES RODS RADIO PANELS POLISHED BLACK FINISH CUT PERFECTLY SQUARE TO ANY SIZE j<32" THICK /2C pER SO.
