Radio SHOIUS Need for Inter
national Tongue.

LONDON. April 27.-Radio IS reviving
guage.
Out Of the international radio confer
ence held here comes the suggestion Of
adopting some language, like Esperanto,
so that radio fans the world over may
understand one another.
This is one OF the subjects taken up by
the wireless experts Of America. England,
France and Germany at this conference
1t was suggested by Edward J. Nally,
president of an American radio distribut-
ing firm.
NEED OF
ESPERANTO,
"One Of our greatest hopes" said
Naliy, sis the establishment Of an inter
national radio language or code, like
Esperanto, which could be understood by
all. This would place the activities of
the whole world at everybOdy's ears.
There is no reason why every Amer
lean school house should not have n sim
pie wireless apparatus to enable teacher
and pupils to listen to what the rest Of
the world is doing"
Esperanto, the proposed language by
which this worldwide commun lea ton
mag be made possible. has already been
accepted by many countries as the Ian
Su9gS OF lle world II was composed 0Y
DR.. l.. L. ZamenhOf the Russian linguist,
in 1887.
Since then Esperanto has spread in
popularity until now Brazil, Czecho-
slovakia, Russia, Finland and important
parts Of other countries have introduced
the language in their schools The Paris
Chamber of Commerce is carrying on q
campaign for the adoption of Esperanto
by all the worlds commercial bodies as
the official commercial language Of the
world
ARGUMENT
STRENGTHENED.
The chief argument for Esperanto as
the international language is being
streng thened through the popularity Of
radio the world over. 1t is thought that
this will draw humanity closer together
by a single medium of intercommunica-
tiOn.
With the rapid progress made in the
development of radio as a world wide
means OF communication, the need of such
language as Esperanto becomes more ap-
parent.

Use Radio in Sick Room
DAILY RADIO FEATJJRES--
NeJD Way to Bar Static Meets
Fair Success.
By R. L. DUNCAN.

Director Radio Institute Of America
All devices so far put forth to elm
mate static interference also cut down
the signal strength OF the radio station.
But a balanced crystal set constructed
by the English Marconi Company op-
crates with fair success
Il consists Of two carborundum detec-
tors energized by local battery current
One detector is adjusted to a high de-
gree OF sensitiVeness and the other TO q
lesser degree.
When a heavy charge OF static enters
the aerial, the crashing sounds are some
what eliminated by the reaction process
OF the crystal rectihers. But the incom-
ing signals are likewise weakened.
In tropical countries, where one or
dinarily can receive transmission from q
station 500 miles away, It IS at times
impossible to receive even ten miles on
account Of static interference.
To reduce static interference to min
imum, most transmitting apparatus to-
day employ a 500 or 600-cycle note-one
having a high pitched musical sound.
Static comes IN on a very low pitch.
good way to cut down on static in
reference is to employ the least pos
sible degree OF coupling between the
primary and secondary windings Of the
receiving tuner to the lowest point where
the signals you wish to copy are still
audible.
Don't forget to see that there is a
good lightning switch on the aerial con-
nection leading into the house. Not only
is this necessary to comply with the
rules Of the FIRE underwriters. but 1t is
8 great protection for the house. making
the serial ground act as a lightning rod.

Study Lightning Bug for
Radio lunches.

PEORIA, ILL.,. April 27.-If science can
discover how the lightning bugs send
ing apparatus flashes light waves, pres
ent day radio science may be super
coded. E. G. Shalkhauser, professor Of
physics and radio science at Bradley
Polytechnical Institute here, said today.
He believes that the FREELY can send

out an electric magnetic wave, but its
source is still a mystery and this he Is
investigating.
If we could find this SO rec think
we could throw away all our antennae,
audion bulbs and other apparatus, be-
cause in my belief the lightning bug may
have a little power plant of his own
more highly perfect than any fruit OF
radio science" said Professor Shalk-
hauser.
1T has been proved repeatedly that
the wave transmitted by the bug is a
cold light wave. The light wave, heat
wave and radio wave are the same in
a sense because they have the same
frequency. 1t may be possible to tune
down to a sufficiently low wave length

New Fiction in Varied Forms

, a book that one will dip into again
and again-a bedside book to skace
among the very few thai one may
count upon for something good, for
the reconciliation of tired or trou-
bled mind which needs to be once
more told that there are beauty. and
faith and love and hope somewhere
in the world. 1t is a "healing5'
book: not merely a sedative, but
genuinely enlightening, comfortingly
warm.
The old Able Pierre is writing
down his observations of his native
village, to which he has returned af-
ter forty years of teaching in Paris
and London. He boasts that he is
not provincial-not he, for has he
not even taken a priests place in
London. where he perfected his Eng
lish?-but he is thoroughly Gascon.
and his view of life is always that of
the village: wise, enlightened, un-
derstanding the eternal elements in
human nature but always seeing
them in their Gascon environment.
1t would not do to take the picture
out of its frame: the frame is a part
of the whole.
SO this is our village" he writes,
so shut away from the great world
that it is a world all its own. Is it
any wonder that I love its peace?
In coming here one does not feel so
much that he has come TO a different
part of our earth as that he has left
1t behind him. So it is. the
Middle Ages are sti1 here. peacefully
decaying, yet very alive in good, old
fashioned ways. For us who live
here. even such universal things as
dawns and sunsets and moons and
stars take on local character and
seem to belong to us alone"
OF the inhabitants in this untrou-
bled corner of the old world NJ.
rAbbe tells us:
"Our Gascon people have a sense
OF dignity and independence, which
comes of their living the lives they
live. each on his own little plot
of land. which he works with his
own hands. getting his daily bread
as the proud creation of his own
win and effort. Yes. that sort of life

may be. which it is difficult to de-
prive him of. And 1 suppose this
dignity makes us self-conscious.
even in our pleasures. and very sem
sitive to ridicule. One may call this
sense of dignity sort of vanity If
one pleases; there probably is some
vanity in US Gascons"

"O offer a thick volume of prose

popular taste, but 1t is a bold ex-
pertinent. The form is a difficult
one in itself, and has never been
acclimatized here. 1t is~dangerous,

that is justifiable if the voice be mu-

difficulties of the unusual task he set
himself so well that one may at

siderable public. There is no doubt
that the critics will acclaim him.
and that he is sure of a success d'es-
time and full recognition by the dis
cerninS few.
For the charm of the book is very
real. Prof. Hudson-he holds a pro-
fessorship of philosophy in the Uni
versity of Afissouri-has a delicate
insight, a warmly human, sympa-
thetic appreciation of that which is
noble and beautiful in the simple and
chiIdiike life of the people he is por-
traying. His old Able is a .'crea-
ton" an exquisite small genre
painting, very highly finished and
beautifully conceived. Many OF the
other portraits in the book stand out
with clarity and fineness of outline.
and the background of the whole
thing is just what it should be-
Prof. Hudson does not slop over: il

mentality.
1t is. however. a little misleading
to call it. as the subtitle does. a
novel of to-day" In any careful
use of the term it is not a novel at
all, but series of more or less con-
nected sketches. with the Abbc as
the central figure, dealing with life
and landscape in Gascony as il is in
this after the war epoch-although
the war note sounds but family.
Each sketch is a complete idyl in
itself-some of them almost perfect
specimens-and the connective tis-
sue of narrative is very thin. In
fact, the intrusion OF the wandering

How to Eeonoamize on Anthracite.

. The Anthracite Bureau of Inforna- ton is distributing a circular contain ing instructions issued by the Navy Department on the use of anthracite economically. Referring to the man ner in which anthracite fires. should be handled and pointing out the advan- tage of using the smaller and cheaper sizes, the Department circular Says:
 At night, after the fire is shaken down and some of the larger coal put on, the fire can be banked for the night by shoveling on a top dressing of No. l buckwheat.
 This top dressing tends, to hold down the draft and aids in the proper and economic combustion of the coal body as a whole,
 Tn the morning, at least in mild weather, the furnace should be shaken down as usual and fired with some of the regular coal. After the fire has begun burntns well it can be checked or. banked by l using quantity of the fine coal a. top dressing. ...
