STEWART F. GELDERS, EDroR

The biggest thing that ever
happened to the whole high
school happened Friday in the
way of a kind of reception. The
high school students had been
told to come back to school Fri
day afternoon for a test in prac-
tical arithmetic. The grades
met in the Junior high school
rooms down stairs shortly after
two o'clock and whiled away a
few minutes singing old familiar
melodies. Then DR.. Ford came
in to the different rooms and dis
tributed cute Xmas favors which
the boys pinned on the girls and
vice versa. Then our new fire
a'arm screeched and the classes
formed line and marched up
stairs in order.
When we reached the study
hall we had the first shock. All
the two hundred desks had been
removed and the walls and
blackboards decorated with Xmas
emblems. DR.. Ford and Miss
Geddes then led a grand march to
the tune Of Hit the Line for
Fitz-Hi," Miss Margaret Spiller
playing the muse on our piano.
We then sang the Alma Mater"
song and the football song AID
gave couple of cheers.
The next thing we did was to
study geometry. Large sheets
of heavy paper were passed out
and some small scissors. Every
one cut his sheet into some de-

Washington, Sept. 90. - Wireless
telephone communication across the
continent was accomplished for the
first time today, when experiments eX-
tending over several months culmi-
mated in successful transmissions Of
the human voice by radio from the
great naval plant at Arlington, Va, to
the station at Mare Island, Cal, $500
miles away.
The experiments were conducted
under direction of Captain Bullard,
chief of the navy's radio service, in
cooperation with the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Western Electric Company.
Great Changes Forecast
Secretary Daniels, in announcing the
result tonight, predicted that further
development of wireless telephony
would make great changes in long
distance communication, both for mill
tary and naval service and in COM
mercial usage.
Successful operation of device for
automatically transferring to the radio
telephone conversations originating on
metallic circuits also was accom-
plished in todays tests. President
Theodore N. Vail and other officials
of the American Telephone and Tele.
graph Company at New York talked
easily with the Mare Island station,
the conversation travelling over an Or
dinary metallic line from New York
to Arlington and thence by radio
across the continent.
The use of such long distance wire.
less telephone communication in naval
or military operations is still in an
undeveloDed state, but it is expected
valuable use can be made of this Won
derful demonstration.
