Radio Proving a Valuable Aid
In Lig ghthouse Service Work

this recent enlargement OF tho radio
equipment on these vessels will be the
advantage in furnishing instruction
and entertainment to the crews. as
the vessels are often out Of touch
with the world for days at a time.
Similar plans are being considered
for the light vessels. the floating
lighthouses anchored often in remote
localities and In the open sea. A
during the war with radio communi-
cation outfits for military reasons.
and many of these floating radio sta
tions have not been operated since
the armistice. Consideration is now
being given by the Department Of
Navy Department. which installed
these radio sets, to the possibility Of
using them, even on vessels where
there is no need to maintain radio
operators. for the instruction and en-
tertainment of the crews, as well as
a means of getting messages to the
| lightship in case of emergency.
The lightkeepers on the lonesome
outposts light stations are to be rec
ognized also in the general plan of
radio development in the lighthouse
service. Congress long ago recog-
nized the isolated life Of the light
keepers by authorizing the supplying
Of small libraries of books to the
stations This has been done at lit
tie expense, as many of the books
have been donated. Thoughtful
friends of the lightkeepers also often
send them magazines and papers. and
even photographs, To lessen their sense
Of loneliness
Although the government endeavors
to give every reasonable conSidera-
ton to the men on the remote sta
tions and vessels, the conditions are
sometimes necessarily difficult. AS
these instances show: The keepers
Of the Alaska lighthouses at the en-
trance to Bering sea remain three
years on the stations. getting leave
only each fourth year. They have
been without mail for ten months at
time. The experiment now is be
ing tried of installing radio phones
at these stations. AT Tillamook Rock
light south of the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, there have been inter-
walls of seven weeks when the tender
was unable to reach the rock on ac-
count of stormy weather. Landing
is made on this rock only by means
Of a crate swung out over the boat
from a long boom. On the off-shore
light vessels supplies are generally
received only once a month.
1t is evident that radio, in addition
to it's great value in operating this
service and furnishing additional pro-
lection to shipping, bids fair in the
future to make life on the lightships
and Al remote lighthouses less lonely
and monotonous for the faithful
keepers.

recently authorized several of these
tenders to make the small additions
to their radio equipment which will
enable the crews to receive the radio
broadcasting services. AS there is
only one radio operator on a tender,
this permits others of the crew to
pick up calls when the operator is off
duty and it also will familiarize the
officers and mon with the use of ra-
dio apparatus, all to the benefit of
the government. as radio is of con-

When Joking Is Dangerous.

Husbands should be careful how
they spring Jokes at the table. And
wives should be alert on guard
against the consequences of a surprise
that amounts to a shock in certain
cases-such as that at New York
yesterday. for instance.
Men who toss off jokes at the table
and cause their wives to laugh so
suddenly that they pull a piece of
meat into the trachea and choke to
Of course, the habitual joker who
gets a fresh stock every week runs

should time their efforts so that their
wives have not mouthful of meat
handy to pull into their windpipes.
For that is mot what windpipes are
for. and they resent intrusions of
solids.
At best. 1t is doubtful II the habit
of making jokes at the table is one
to be encouraged. The average hus-
bands joke is apt to be worth no
more than the average husband, and
that, every woman can tell you, is
dangerous as if "the old man" were
to volunteer to buy his wife new
gown and hat and everything all at
the same time-right at the peak of

said;

The mask is a menace, and is one
OF the causes of the downfall Of Col.

have existed in the imperial palace and
the lawless outbreaks in various parts
OF the country accomplished the rest
toward making it possible to set up
