SIMPLE ANTENNA Is
BEST FOR AMATEUR
Straight, Single Wire Type,
Placed High, Is Preferable
for the Receiving Set.

II Is estimated that In one years
time from 100000 to 100000, new
radio receivers were installed in the
United States and from observation
II would appear that there were al
most as many different styles of an
tennae erected as there were sets
Installed. This. too. despite the fact
that the country was flooded with liter
ature telling each and every citizen
how to build his own set ~
These cage, ,flat-top, multiwire, UNI
brella. etc, kinds of antenna were de-
signed primarily for their sending
characteristics. Remember that, in the
beginning of radio. the man who want
ed to hear wireless signals had to
know quite bit about practical radio.
He had to know the Continental and
Morse codes, and In addition to be a
fairly decent sort of mechanic. He
was, In short. the radio amateur, who
wanted to, send as well as receive.
Therefore all this early literature was
for the man who wanted to send as
well as receive.
Since radlophone broadcasting was
first started, there has grown up an
other army of radio enthusiasts,
greatly outnumbering the pioneer anna
teurs, who dosnot want to send at all,
but who do wish to receive. Therefore
much of this early literature does not
apply, or more correctly. all of 1t does
not apply, to the new generation.
In building an antenna, remember
that nothing Is more satisfactory for

The tale OF the trip Is stirring one
Scarcely had Shanghai been left be
hind when typhoons, seemingly in
waiting swept down upon 1t. The
1000 miles to Hokodate, In the north
Of Japan, was one continual struggle
moderate, Hakodate was left behind.
But the lull proved very temporary.
The storm king rushed up from the
east and south, driving the junk ever
north, until, passing among the Aleu-
tian islands, 1t burst into the Behring
sea. Repeatedly The rudder was car
ried away, repaired and swept away
again. Half the distance was covered
with jury rudders dragging the vessel
back. Gales and gales succeeded each
other-annoying calms with great
breaking swells that tore and smashed
the craft about while headway was
impossible-and gales that made the
frail ship labor in alarming fashion.
Closest Shave Near End.
UnalaslSa, In the Aleutians, was
sought for refuge on August % and
left again on September 1. On this
last leg of the voyage they had better
luck. A fair breeze sent the ship
down the coast to Victoria. Only a
few hours away from the port, how
ever. the huge bulk of japanese
steamer suddenly loomed in the fog
threatening disaster.
'sIt was the closest shave I've had"
said Captain Ward.
"I could have put my hand on her.
But this old junk can spin about like
tub in her own length and that was
what she did, when the Japanese was
three feet away coming closer every
second"
Now that he Is safely on the Pacific
coast, Ward intends to. exhibit his
strange ship In every port on the con-
tinent, from Victoria to Panama. New
York to Boston, the ST. Lawrence and
the Great Lakes. This done, he will
turn to Europe.

that was greatly troubled by the
sailors there. AS for the rest, we had
plenty. There was always a fish to
be caught on the road, bird to be
shot or porpoise to be harpooned.

that after all he was glad it was over.

George Ward, modern Columbus,
puts the historic navigator to shame

Chinese wife as helmsman, his nine
year-old son as cook and cabin boy,
and foremast crew of three Chinese,
OF whom two had never been beyond

Several months ago. tired of life on
the Chinese coast, Ward decided 20
return to America. So he gathered
tools and timbers, fashioned himself a

embarked with his family for British

In these waters. Spectators rubbed

Society reaches its lowest ebb
during the summer months and even
the most social butterfly in all the
world gladly welcomes the quiet rest
and JOY that comes from vacation
time-whether il be spent in the
New Mexico mountains, in true
camp style, in the wonderland Of
Colorado, or perchance basking in
California sunshine. For those who
have returned from their various
summer haunts, refreshed and rest
ed in mind and body, there is de-
sire to slip out 10 the old swimming
hole rather than to concentrate on
the most becoming gown 70 wear for

Woman. Mi..ionar, Society.

On Monday, August 7th, the So
ciety met in regular business ses-
sion at the church. Mrs Tubbs pre-
sided and after reading a short Bible
lesson and having a prayer and song,
the president asked for reports Of
officers. Il being a time when a
great many Of the officers and mem
bers are on vacations, in spite Of the
fact il was an interesting meeting
Il was with deep regrets that the
Society accepted the resignation Of
our President. Mrs. Tubbs. We feel
we could not have had a more faith
full, consecrated woman at the head
OF our Auxiliary and il is indeed
loss &c the Society when she is our
president no more.
Last Monday, August the 18th
was Mission Study Day for our So
ciety and as our book has been fin
ished We took up the study Of our
conference minutes Of the Stamford
meeting, Ii was quite an interest
ing lesson, under the leadership Of
Mrs Kimbro.
Our next meeting will be a social
meeting and the place viii be an
nounced later. We hope TO see all
present at these meetings and soon
we will all have our vacations and
be back for real work again.
