All Reports, Will Be Sent First

ed BY Dots and Dashes
WAVE LENGTH IS METERS

..
Fargo, N. D., June 12.-The North
Dakota Agricultural College will be-
gin the broadcasting Of weather re-
ports, markets and possibly some
news before July, possibly by the
middle of June, according to an
nouncement by the physics depart
ment. The onlv thing lacking j. a
motor generator which is expected to
arrive at any time.
A 100 watt vacuum tube transmit
ter will be used to cover radius Of
at least one hundred miles by radio
telephone or 250 miles use of tele-
graphy.
Sigmund Liefson, in charge of the
work, announces that the broadcast
ing will, as nearly as can be deter
mined now, be done as follows:
The wave length will 375 meters.
All reports will be sent first by
telephone and then repeated by dots
and dashes.
"A regular time for daily trans
mission will be worked put, probably
early in the morning or at noon. There
are two factors to be considered in
this matter convenience for the
greatest number Of people to be SER
we'd and the fact that as the sun rises
higher in the morning, static interfer-
ence becomes more troublesome. It
becomes worse just before sundown.
Therefore the transmitting should be
done before noon at least. To reach
the farmer it seems best, in the light
of present knowledge, to put the calls
before he goes to the field in the
morning or at noon. If the reports
are copied in the smaller towns and
telephoned to the farmers, this par
tieular time for broadcasting will
not be necessary. 5ii
Just what will be sent will also
have to be worked out. The Moorhead
weather report will probably be in
cluded as well as markets which the
station picks up from Minneapolis
and Omaha. With it's advantage as to
equipment the college station can pick
up the radio market reports which
smaller stations throughout the state
would be unable to get. It is hoped
to have the government hourly re-
ports eventually, but that must come
later according to Mr.. Liefson.

FRANK P0RTEN'S MOTHER
PASSES EN- ROUTE HOME

The sad news was received in Be-
midi late yesterday afternoon Of the
death of Mrs. Amanda Porten, mother
of Frank B. Porten of Bemidji. She
with her son, Robert had toured the
west during the winter months in
hopes Of securing relief from asthma
from which she had been constant
sufferer in late years, and they We're
en- route to their home at St. Paul,
having reached Sioux City, Iowa, just
$50 miles from home when she passed
away.
This is particularly pathetic as she
is the third member of the family who
passed away within a month, two OF
her sisters having died within that
time. Mrs. Porten spent last winter
and part of the summer months in Be-
midi with her son and made many
friends here who will indeed be sorry
to learn of her death, and who extend
to the family their sincere sympathy
in their bereavement. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Porten left on the night tram
yesterday for St. Paul to attend the
funeral.

PLANS ACTIVE SEASON
Membership to Be Limited to
Fifty; Courts Are Being
Made Ready Now

As soon as the courts are made
ready for the seasons playing, the
Bemidji Tennis club will begin anoth-
err very active season. Membership is
to be limited at SO members, all that
the three courts located on lake shore
near the State Teachers college, scan

ers. Membership cards can be secured

bank.
Last season much interest was
created by the club tournament which
was won by Ed. Bleickner, who Incl
IDENTIFY won a unique trophy, presented
to him at the annual meeting of the
club last fall. It is expected that an
other such tournament will be held
this year and that a number of the
members of the club will participate
in inter-city tournaments also.
A very active season is looked for
by the members Of the club since
much interest has been evidenced by
those who belonged to the club last
season.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS GIVEN
=. LEGION ENDORSEMENT
Department of Florida Adopts
Resolutions Relative to
Public School System

Washington, April 21.-(Capital
News Service)-During the fourth
annual convention of the American
Legion, department of Florida, in
session just closed at Palm Beach,
there was unanimous and enthusiast
tic adoption of the following resolu-
ton:
"Whereas the public school sys-
tenn is the fountain head of better
Americanism, therefore be it
Resolved, That the convention IA
vors federal support of the public
schools under system that will not
interfere with state supervision of
such schools; and be it
Resolved further, That this con-
vention favors an improved system
for the vocational training of ex-
service men, backed by ample ap-
preparations.
Senators and representatives in
congress who favor the Towner-
Sterling bill, establishing a Depart
ment of Education with a secretary
in the presidents cabinet, find in this
action of the premier young Ameri-
can man organization great encour-
agement. So many organizations of
all sorts have endorsed the bill that
sentiment in congress is rapidly crys-
talizing toward its early passage. To
find the .eX-service men of Florida
solidly behind support for the pub
lie school is very gratifying to all
friends Of the bill and all proponents
of Americanization plans which are
to work uot through the public
school.

Cooperation of Every Bemidji
Resident Is Needed to Make
Campaign Successful
ADULTS URGED TO- SET.
EXAMPLE FOR CT ILDREN
Efforts Being Made to Reduce
Jay-Walking in Do wntown
Business Districts

With the coming of wa rmer wealth
er, the civic pride campaign is now
on in full swing, according to E. D.
Boyce, chairman of the "square-cor-
ner" campaign COMMITTEE. He an
nounced that the school children es-
'pccially arc to be. commended for
their observance of the campaign to
reduce corner-cutting, t..espassing on
lawns and boulevards, Jay walking,
and implores the parents to set the
example for the younger folks. Ill.,
The majority of local civic and
fraternal organizations have pledged
their support in this campaign and
the result is that the violations have
been fewer since the campaign was
begun, as an appeal to civic pride
rather than by threat IF prosecution.
Speakers have appeared on this sub
ject before the schools and the re-
suits have been gratifying. Cont!nu-
ance and extention of the campaign
is now urged by the committee.
To reduce jay-waiking in the down
town districts, it has been announced
that a path, five feet wide, is to be
painted with black paint on the pave
ment to mark the safety zone for
crossing at the intersee ton of the sire
cts. Pedestrians are urged to stay
within these paths when crossing the
down town business streets in order
to assist in reducing the possibilities
of accidents.
Property owners, who have not
done so, are urged to clean up their
yards and beautify them if possible
in order that the city may present its
best appearance duiing the summer
months. Civic pride lis appealed to in
this regard and tits expected that 1t
wilt bring satisfactory results. Summer
tourists take note Of the appearance
of the places they visit and the civic
beauty of the place appeals to them
greatly. Be1nidji always encourages
tourist trade and Improvement of the
appearance Of the city in general is
always a good boost for the increased
tourist trade.
With the campaign in full swing,
the appeal to public pride is almost
certain to bring the desired results.
In order to make this campaign a
complete success however, it is neces-
sar:y that every resident of the city
cooperate.

EPIDEMIC OF GAMBLING
HAS HOLD ON WINNIPEG
(By United PresS)

Winnipeg, April 21-Winnipeg is
afflicted with an epidemic of gambl-
ing. 1t has taken the form OF weekly
pools on the Old Country football re-
suits, and gained further impetus last
week with the decision of the police
magistrate that the pool was not gam
bling as defined by the original GRIM
inal code.
An appeal doubtless will be taken
to higher court, but in the mean
time the alleged abuse persists to such
an extent that this week total pool
of $4,000 is announced.
A weekly paper has announced the
opening of a poll on the results of
major league baseball games for each
Saturday. .>-.,.-~,.:
Members of the police force have
met annoying replies from men of the
unemployed class who refuse to take
work on farms as job in the country
would deprive them of the opportuni-
ty to win easy money in the football
pools.

CHILD DEATHS CAUSED
BY MSANITARY SCHOOLS
Figures Show Laxity in School
Sanitation Is Dangerous;
a#,> Warning Is Issued

Washington, April 81. - Capital
News Service)-The health author
tiles in the nations capital have
sounded a warning to all school au-
thorities everywhere regarding in
sanitary conditions in schools. Bas-
ing this warning upon mortality sta
t:stics the Washington health office
quotes reliable figures to prove the
contention that the death rate in
school children is largely affected by
school conditions.
The mortality tables of the United
States show that the death rate of
children decreases rapidly from the
age of one year, in which it is very
high, to the age OF 5 and 6, when it
becomes very low The child at these
ages enters school, and the mortal
ity rate Immediately increases until
the age of II is reached. At this
age the death rate almost equals that
of the child one year old.
This waste of life, health experts
explain, could be reduced so per
cent, which would increase the aver
age span of life of an American,
which is now SO years, to possibly 48
or so years. The increase in the
death rate from the time the child
enters school is attributable to school
life or group association.
Some of the conditions which re-
suit in children's diseases spreading
through the schools are named as
overcrowding, lack of playground
space, poor plumbing, inefficient
heating, bad ventilation, insanitary
drinking fountains, and insufficient
care in looking after children with
contagious diseases for a sufficient
length of time.

EINSTEIN THEORY BEING

Washington Apri .21 Capital
of RELATIVELY is generally conceded by
scientists to be of paramount import
ance. Yet so difficult has it been for
the lay mind to comprehend that it
makes small Roadway in either schools
or popular literature. To remedy this
condition six professors of Europe
have written and made motion pic
lures showing the RELATIVELY theory so
that anyone of average intelligence
can understand "a.
These films will reach the United
States by the end Of April and will
be available for public showing short
ly thereafter. The matter is of special
interest to educators, who see in this
use of "movies" a new means of
spreading knowledge. Many math-
ematical distractions are extremely
difficult to understand when convey
ed by figures alone, which, it is point
ed out become plain and simple when
diagrams and pictures can be used.
In all mathematical demonstrations
involving change and motion success
sive diagrams must necessarily omit
something, But in motion pictures
the entire action can be shown. Thus,
in the Einstein films showing the re-
lation between space, light and motion
a rifleman is shown who fires two
shots at a given OBJECT, the second
shot coming IL hours after the first.
The second shot hits the object, which
is way up in the sky, along time ahead
of the first shot because the earth
has swung halfway around in the IL
hours and is, therefore that much
nearer the object aimed at.
