Editorial

AN4xOoA HUI
A friend asked US to write an
editorial about profanity. We
hesitate for fear of being ac-
cused of preaching, but here
goes.
Ninety-five per cent Of the men
who swear mean no more by
it than the baby with its
meaningless da-da- 1t is a
habit-a bad habit.
The habit is formed because
men are too lazy to hunt for
a good descriptive word when
they want to be impressive.
All men ARE lazy-ask their
wives. .--
Use any swear word you choose
and see If you can make the
following assertions more
forceful or convincing.
It is hot as fire
It is cold as ice.
It is strong as steel
It is har,i as iron.
Etc, Etc, Etc, Etc.
You can't do it, can you? What
better proc! is needed Of the
usefulness Of profanity?

TANKS TO KEEP CREAM cool

Made on the Farm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
On most farms cream can be cooled
most effectively by the use Of cold
water. In order to facilitate the cool
ing various types of tanks have been
devised. Such tanks can be purchased
from dealers in dairy supplies and
sometimes from the local hardware
merchant. or they may be made on the
farm. A cooling tank should be large
enough to hold at least two cream
cans in order that the newly sepa-
rated cream may be cooled In q can
separate from that previously gath
cred.
In order to keep the cream cool 1t
is necessary to change the water sew
eral times day. For this reason the
tank should be situated between the
well and the stock tank so that all
water pumped for the stock passes
through the cooling tank, thence to
the stock tank.
may be it should have tight cover
to keep out the heat, and for the same
reason it Is advisable to place it in
the dairy house or under shed so
that the sun cannot shine directly
upon it.
An excellent tank may be made of
two-inch planed cypress boards, prop
erly bolted together, painted on the
outside and oiled on the inside; or, if
it is desirable to keep the cost down
to the minimum, very simple and
cheap cooling tank may be made from
two or more oil or vinegar barrels
one for each can.
The pipe conducting the water into
the tank should be about IN inches
in diameter, and upon entering the

Method Discovered of Commune
eating With Submerged
Submarines.
YOUTHS ARE LUCKY FINDERS
Revelations Come When Researchers
Are at Work on Something Else
Single Turn Loop Brings
Amazing Results.

Washington, d. Gin general way
1t is known that during the war a
method was found to communicate
with a submerged submarine from
shore or sea. How this is done and
how it came to be discovered that it
could be done not until now has been
made public. Like good many other
revelations it came when the research
ers were at work on another problem.
The scientists Of the radio section
Of the bureau Of standards stumbled
on it's secret and the lucky ones to sus-
pect It were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their expert
ments and the development of what is
known as the loop aerial" for subma-
rine radio communication by the bu-
reau resulted in a device so simple
and perfect, and producing such Won
derful results, that the navy has
adopted it and Is equipping all it's I'M
dersea craft with this style of loop.
Ii, the fall of 1917 series of expert
ments was undertaken by the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the detec-
ton of enemy submersibles. ]. A. Will
loughby and P. D. Lowell were en-
gagged in the work. They had notion
that closed or rubber encased coil
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one and threw
1t one night into tank of fresh water
on the grounds of the bureau near
n rfvppst ,f ncv,-
ington. To their delight they received
signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they sub
merged the coil in the tidal basin Of
the Potomac near the new navy build
ing. Again the signal came with no
difference in strength whether the loop
or coil was suspended in air or sunk in
the river.
Discovery Significant.
The significance Of this discovery
struck both young inen. Here was a
way possibly to detect the pres.lc Of
Enemy submarines, but surely to talk
with our own, which was equally i'm
portant, had been thought impossible.

RADIO TRIUMPH

the use Of loops on submarines for
both transmission and reception under
water. Both he and Mr.. Lowell were
sent to New London to work under
Commander Mcdowell in charge Of the
base, to install the apparatus for try
out on submarine D-1. It is simple
continuance, the metal frame of the
submarine itself being part of 1t,
this being used as ground" just as
the earth is used in hand telegraphy.
The circuit is thus made complete. AS
finally perfected the loop consists OF
two insulated wires grounded at the
extreme ends of the hull carried over
suitable supports to the coming tower
and thence through "radio-lead-ins"
down into the boat to the receiving
and sending apparatus. A single turn
loop was used on the d.. With it's
top submerged three feet signals were
received from a submarine chaser
three-quarters of mile away.
Boat Used az "Ground."
A new type of loop was tried on the
U. s. s. G-3, in which the lead-in wires
were brought in from the upper side
Of the loop instead Of the lower and
the entire loop was insulated from the
