Several Colorado counties Monday morning began mailing out January pension checks to more than 34,000 pensioners in the state. Other counties will make this month's payment as soon as the pension checks can be drawn up. Each pensioner will receive a bonus or "jackpot" of $27.77 in addition to the regular $45 a month payment, brining the average pension income to $67.36 for the month, or $134.72 for families in which both the husband and wife receive pensions. And while distribution of the greatest regular pension payment ever made by a large government began, chaos reigned at the State-house, where the general fund for stale purposes is practically broke and rigid economies are resulting. Divide What's Left.

The "jackpot" payment it the result of a clause in the pension amendment, voted by Coloradoans at the last general election, which calls' for equal division among pensioners of all money left in the pension fund at the end of each year. There was approximately $800,000 left after the regular $45 December payments were made. today. See you tomorrow! Nordly's Team Then Moves Into Fargo for Game Saturday.

With the defending champions, the University of North Dakota, furnishing the opposition Friday night at Grand Forks, and an improving North Dakota State five at Fargo the following night, the Panthers must show a reversal of form or count upon a double loss on the trip. In the plainest of languages the Teachers college team was described as "terrible" against the Cardinals in winning the opening game of the North Central season. Altho North Dakota university lost its all-conference forwards, Finnegan and Birk, Coach Clem Leitch has molded another powerful crew of. basket bombers and is counted upon to guide them to a fifth straight title.

The team has been using LeMaire, McCosh, Robertson, Pepke, and Kittleson as the first string quintet.

He has two with Gary several with Bing Crosby and an exclusive one with La West. The League of Decency, which has been so bitter in its denunciation of the Mae West broadcast, has given its approval to her picture, "Every Day's a Holiday," requesting that only two lines betaken out, which was done promptly. Loretta Young rates four beaux to support her in the oddly named "Four Men and a Prayer." George Sanders, the young Englishman who made big strides with "Lancer Spy," gets the top role, while Reginald Denny, David Niven and William Henry (borrowed from MGM) are importantly featured. Interesting to hear the Inside story on how Harry Joe Brown dug out "Four Men and a Prayer" after it had been practically shelved, and had it rewritten so that Darryl Zanuck promptly put it down as one of the important Twentieth Century-Fox pictures of 1938.

There are a number of electric guitars on the market now, Loar said, and he won't claim that he is the only inventor.

The guitars have been used extensively by dance orchestras because of their resonance and volume; they have been called "singing guitars." Altho a long-established musical instrument factory is building Loar's new harpsichord, he is vice president of Vivi-Tone company, which he himself started in Kalamazoo, in 1930 to manufacture the smaller instruments. After finding business discouraging during depression years, the factory was reorganized and moved to Detroit. Now it is stressing the manufacture of still another instrument, called a clavier. The clavier, already featured by popular dance orchestras, produces music by plucking rather than blowing across steel reeds. Its tone, tho somewhat like that of a harp, is deep and sweet, Loar said.

On Northwestern Faculty. Loar is part-time instructor in physics of music and composition at Northwestern university, Evanston, 111.

Beck. 302 Williston avenue, told a reporter. "I was 14 years old at that time, living with Sam Fletcher and family near Edgar, Clay county, in the southeast part of the state, and going to country school. "The blizzard broke at 2 p.m. after a beautiful forenoon.

The snow fell so fast and the wind was so high that from the first visibility was almost at zero. Held in Schoolhouse. "Our teacher, a young woman, dismissed her 20 or 25 scholars, ranging in ages from 6 to 15 years, but allowed no one to leave the building. The school-house was on a quarter section of unbroken prairie, with no trees as a windbreak. "Parents started out as soon as the storm struck to drive their wagons to the school.

To drive in such a storm was slow work, tedious and dangerous. "Mr. Fletcher, who had a herd of 50 or more cattle that were grazing on the open prairie, started at once to drive them to the house, but they refused to face the northwest wind and drifted in a southeasterly direction, Fletcher, fearing he might perish in the cold and heavy snow, deserted his flock when he came upon a railroad bed. This enabled him, by tracing the rails, to go to a farm home, where he remained over night. Many Cattle Perish.

"I was able to return home next day, the storm having lulled at dawn. Mr. Fletcher also returned and he and I mounted horses to find our cattle. Except for two milch cows with calves at home, all were still missing. We rounded up about 30 head.

Loar's portable harpsichord from which 25 instruments are being copied in Elkhorn for commercial marketing within a month doesn't waste anything.

No larger than a spinet desk, it packs enough wallop thru its loudspeaker to knock you off your seat. Conversely, it was the old-fashioned harpsichord's lack of practical volume that caused its virtual elimination during the last century. That's where the waste comes in, Loar says. Too Many Transfers. The piano, violin and other string instruments are just as guilty, it seems.

First the strings are called upon to vibrate a sounding board in the instrument. Since the strings and the sounding board are made of different materials there's a big waste of sound energy there, to begin with, Loar points out. Then, in turn, the sounding board must vibrate the air to produce audible sound waves transferring the vibrations thru still another change of substance; and there goes more waste of energy. By the time the old-fashioned harpsichord went thru this extravagant handling of sound waves, there wasn't enough umpf left in them to produce music of appreciable volume. The fact remained that Bach, and many other musicians, refused to use the piano, preferring the harpsichord, in spile of its impracticably wee sound output.

Loar, who 10 years ago had already invented the first electric guitar, and a few violins for good measure, decided to apply the same principles to bring out the beautiful tone of the harpsichord in glorious full-throated volume.

Janelli to pluck tne strings. But from that point nn, modern electrophonic marvels reign. The new instrument, Loar explained, works somewhat as a dynamo.

When plucked, the strings vibrate in the magnetic fields of individual small coils. Thus, electrical impulses are actuated in the coils, these are in turn sent thru an electric amplifier, just as in loud speaker systems or the audio frequency portion of any radio receiving set. In this way, that old waster, the soundboard, is eliminated, and the music issues from the loud speaker of the amplifier. Volume can be stepped up practically without limit. With the electric violins, It's almost the same story, except that the gut strings would have no magnetic effect upon electrical Root.
