$1,000 BOYS AND GIRLS IN JUNIOR
SHORT COURSES

Over $4,000 boys and girls, enrolled
in club work under the supervision CT
extension workers employed coopera-
lively by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the State
agricultural colleges, enjoy the adj
vantage OF junior short courses and
camps every year. These short -cours-
es have become a popular feature
with the farm boys and girls and are
eagerly looked forward 10 by them
throughout the year
The courses are patterned somewhat
after the farmers and home makers
weeks, which have been conducted
by the agricultural colleges for sew
eral years. Besides the instruction
given, emphasis is laid on the social
and recreatiOnal side of junior extern
sion work. Most Of the colleges give
course in ru~l leadership, en-
phasizing the Importance of boys and
girls becoming local leaders of clubs.
West Virginia, which, besides hav-
ing 8 State camps for rural leader
ship for boys and girls, also main
tains 40 county training schools.
These schools are held in connection
with county camps, and the farm
boys and girls enjoy an outing of
from 1 week to 10 days at very small
expense. Most States provide SINH

desirable location in the State, and a

-uE MENACE OF THE VACANT
LOT

In many cases vacant lots in cities

owners have bought them and hold

growth Of population will so enhance
tseir value as to make them very
nroatable. In many cases that hap
nens. In every city of any consider
sble size. old residents can be found
who will tell you that the very lot
where the city hall now stands, could
have been bought in their younger
days "for a mere song" But, alas,
they could not sing. and so they miss
ed the great chance of their lives.

SULPHUR IS BEST
To CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

ANY breaking out or skin irritation
on face. neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sul-
phur, says noted skin specialist.
Because OF its germ destroying prop
critics, nothing has ever been found
to take the place of this sulphur
preparation that instantly brings ease
from the itching, burning and irrita-
ton.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema
right up, leaving the skin clear and
smooth. 1t never fails to relieve the
torment or Disagreement. A little
jar of Mentho-Suiphur may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store. It is used
like cold cream.

The amateur than the straight, single
wire antenna, as high in the air as 1t
can be placed, and about $50 feet long.
An antenna of this sort, will give bet
ter results, In most cases. than any
other sort. 1t will take up less room,
and will not cut SO heavily into the
owners finances.
The function Of the antenna for
receiving set is to absorb the maxi
mum amount Of energy radiated from
a transmitter. This means that 1t
must be so built and placed as to be
as efficient as possible. The factors
governing the type of aerial to be
erected are as follows:
Amount of space available.
The amount of money which ID to
be spent.
The wave-length range which is to
be received.
The distance from which signals are
sent.
An aerial possesses both distributed
capacity and lnductance, which COM
bined give 1t defined period Of oscil-
lation. These oscillations will set up
a wave motion the length of which Is
related to the capscity and inductance
by a formula which can be closely ap-
proximated by multiplying the length
Of the antenna In feet. plus the length
of the lead-in In feet, by 1.22. This
vii give the fundamental wave length
Of the antenna.
/ No matter what kind Of antenna Is
used II must always be remembered
that the lead-in should be as short and
as direct as possible. In other words,
don't use up any unnecessary energy
received In the antenna to force
way through a long lead-in to the re-
ceiver. n

have the leadin consist Of as many
wires as are in the antenna. These
wires should be wrapped together at
point few feet from the antenna and
brought into the receiving set as
cable. Where this cable passes through
the walls Of the building. 1t should be
insulated with porcelain tube or stand
ard electrose lead-in iDsuIators.
Be careful to keep the lead-in as
far as possible from electric light
wires, telephone wires, etc.. II this Is
not done, an Objectionable 60cycle
hum may be heard in the phones
caused by electric light induction.
The ground connection should also
be az short and direct as possible.

better from one direction than from
others. This is illustrated In Figure

be received over greater distances than
those In any other direction. Keep
In mind the direction of the transmit
ting station from which It is desired to
catch signals and point the free end
of the antenna away from the station.

tai wave length will be decreased, and
Its directional characteristics will be
