But she could not She's an in

home, much less go to Shreveport.
La, 400 miles away, where her son.
DR.. NJ. E. Dodd, is pastor of the
First Baptist church.
Still on Easter Sunday Mrs. Dodd
will hear her son preach.
The powerful radio apparatus at
the church will send out DR.. Dodd's
sermon and the aged mother will
sit at a receiving set in her home
and hear it
That's not all-scores of small
Baptist churches, served by circuit
riding pastors, have installed radio
sets and will hear the Shreveport
services.
These churches, which in the
past have had services only once
or twice a month, now will have
services weekly-with the same
music and sermons heard in
Shreveport.
The First Baptist church in
Shreveport claims to be the only
church in the world operating a
powerful broadcasting station in
its own plant It's antenna stretch

The station has a normal radius
of 1900 miles, but under favorable
conditions can be heard from coast

A 200-watt set, sending out
260-meter wave length. is used.

How to Avoid Accidents on
Long Trips.

Time is drawing near to prepare
for weekend and longer touring
trips.
That means tuning up the car
for long driving and rough wear
and preparing for all sorts Of
emergencies.
Before starting on any trip the
automobile should be thoroughly
overhauled. All parts should be
we'll fabricated, transmission
creased, crankcase and gasoline
tank cleaned out and new oil and
| fuel put in.
! The gasoline line ought to be
| blown out, the vacuum tank clean
ed and the carbureter put into
shape for warm weather driving
A heavier oil should be used for
the summer days.
Avoid Squeaks.
Test the wheels for webbing,
tighten up all nuts and bolts TO
prevent rafting and squeaking,
have the engine cleaned of carbon
and tuned up.
Besides, there is oiling of springs,
adjustment of various parts, tight
ening and steering mechanism and
filling the battery
After this, the car is fit to leave
home for a long drive. But the
wise motorist prepares himself for
all sorts of needs along the road. He
looks over his tool kit and sees that
all tools he might possibly use are
/ there.
List OF Tools.
A complete list of tools includes
! wrenches, pliers, hammer,
screwdrivers, files, wire, nuts, bolts,
cotterpins, tire valves, pressure
gauge, spark plugs, rim Tugs. tai
cum powder, tape an extra valve
and spring, grease gun and an extra
spring clip and bolts.
All these, besides spare tires,
tubes, low-out patches, tire pump,
jack, chains, a box of cup grease
and can of lubricating oil 1t is
also good practice to take along a
short plank to be used as a base N
getting out of mudhoIes.
Careful driving and attention to
all details in running the car will
assure pleasure on long trips

Investigate Possibilities for
@Radie Education"

The development of the wireless
telephone to such an extent thar
limited college courses may bs
given by means of it is now an AZ.
compIished fact.
Already lectures by members If
the Tufts college, Medford. Mass
faculty have been broadcasted from
the distributing station on the
campus.
A committee of professors. an.
pointed by the faculty to inyestj.
gate further possibilities Of the
radio in connection with college
education, has formulated import
ant plans.
The lectures sent out to date
have been those with a popular ap-
peal. The first lecture was by Pro
fessor Wooster of the economics
department on The Story of
Money"
1t is quite possible to organize
radio lectures into regular college
courses, but the de8irabiiity of at
tempting this end and the practical
obstacles which would have TO he
overcome constitute a question for
the future.
Certainly fullest possibilities are
worth striving for. because any
method which tends to make knowI-
edge more valuable is of immense
value.
Station On Campus.
Tufts colleges special interest in
the wireless telephone is due to the
presence on the campus of the radio
laboratory of the American Radio
and Research corporation, a com
pany organized by Tufts men who
have received their training in the
Tufts engineering school.
The facilities of this laboratory,
used by advanced students in the
engineering courses. were placed at
the disposal of the college for use
in connection with the million
dollar endowment fund now being
raised.
The radio advertised the cam
paign for funds with good results.
Then the idea arose that the sta
ton might be used as a direct ad-
junct of the college On investiga-
ton We discovered that radiophone
lectures by members of the faculty
proved interesting to those who lis
tened to them Hence it was de-
cided to continue and elaborate
upon this departure in educational
service.
Both the engineering and liberal
arts schools are represented on the
faculty committee in charge.
Subjects of wide appeal, those
dealing with questions of econom-
les, history and political science,
will make up the educational pro-
gram of the wireless lectures for
the immediate future.

A radio speech delivered by Sen

in Washington to his constituents
in Indiana has raised a storm in
congress over the use of govern

for campaign speakers. Some leg

themselves of melodies from the

imum of $50 weekly for their musi-
clans. But theatres with dramatic
offerings and the picture houses
could save tidy sum by the in
stallation of wireless receiving
