selves not to have single date fol-
an entire month unless it should be
for a dance. Violation Of this rule
costs the member 81 and obliges her
to wear red pin the next day.
Some Of the young men whose
attentions are being thus rejected de-
cided to take things into their own
hands and kidnap the pledges. AS a
result four young ladies were accom-
panied home by escorts Tuesday
night, the treasury of the club has
been increased by 81 and four red
pins are in evidence today.
These girls will be called before
the executive board at special
meeting in Manhattan and asked to

CAN'T MAKE ENDS MEET
So Mother Is Seeking Home For Her
Two Children

Trying to pay $40 board bill out
of wages amounting to 81 week
is a problem which is too much for
the mother of two little Herington
boys. Both ends won't meet and
while she does not want to give up
her boys she is seeking some one
who will take one or the other of
the lads and keep him until he is
able to support himself or she is able
to care for him. The children are
sturdy little fellows, aged s and 10
and would be lots of help about the
house or doing chores ON a farm,
were they taken into home. The
mother has signed over complete
jurisdiction of them to the probate
court and applications of persons de-
string to take or both of the chill

larger and closer together near the

due merely to the fact that the waves

have already described how wire
less or radio waves carry sound
waves through the other and which,
BY meana of the receiving instru-
ments. are caught and made audible
to US. But q matter which puzzles
many persons is how one message,
one voice or one piece Of music may
be heard by the wireless telephone
without 1t being confused and jumbled
with all tho others which are rtavel-
ing through the ether at the same
time. Even though a person knows
that this is accomplished by some
mysterious method known as "tun-
ing" and which is brougt about by
turning certain numbered knobs or
dials ON the receiving set,r still the
reason and principles remain a mys-
terry. Without going into q long ex.
terms, it is very easy to make this
clear. - y
Every wireless or electromagnetic
wave has q definite length. which is
expressed in. meters This does not
mean, as come people think, that the
from the sending station, for the tint
est wave sent out by an ordinary
spark coil or buzzer probably travels
completely around the world. The
wave length means merely that. the
oscillations. or back and forth waves.
set up are of q certain size, and this
has very little connection with the
distance at which they may be. re-
ceived. This depends upon the sensf-
tiveness Of the set, and III a suffi-
ciently sentative set could be made
the tiny waves sent out by the ordi-
nary spark coil or electric door bell
could be made audible half way
around the world or more. and the
reason the big transatlantic sending
stations use long waves lis that
greater energy Is used in sending
them,. and they are stronger after
travelling great distances thanReare
short waves. H.. ~ Ee,
Ripples ~ Waves in Air.
: It Is on the same principle as the
waves in the water, which I have al
ready described. Although the SMALL
est ripple, made by a tiny pebble will
eventually reach the shore, yet they
may be invisible. while larger waves
caused by large stone may readily
be seen. Just as more muscular en-
ergy is. needed to throw the large
stone and praduce the large waves;
80 more electrical energy 10 needed tra
start long wireless waves: Neither
does the length OF a wireless wave
vary or decrease with the distance II
travels, as many imagine. Although
they become. weaker. the length re-
