New Tube To Augment
 Radio Broadcasting

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The world s largest vacuum tube, standing three feet in height and three and one-half inches in diameter at the bottom, has been completed in the laboratories of the Western Electric company, off, cials announce.
 The tube is capable of supplying 100000 watts, 200 times the power required for the uusual radio broad tasting stations of 100-mile range.
 The difficulty in experiments was to make the whole tube air-tight and to get the wires for the filament and grid into tie tube while keeping them insulated against about 10000 volts.
 After much study the problem was narrowed down to finding a way to make an air-tight joint between the heavy copper tube. which forms the ''plate'' and the glass of the upper part of the tube and to bring the heavy wires through this glass.
 Credit for the answer is due W. G. Housekeeper, a company engineer. who discovered way to seal copper to glass which would make an atr- tight joint that would not crack at any ordinary working temperature.

~ him referred to as Honest Abe.
DO you know how he came to be
given that title? Here are two little
stories that may show you the reason
for his nickname.
One day when Lincoln was clerk
ing in a store in New Salem, Illinois,
he sold bill of goods to a Gust omer.
The money was handed across the
counter. placed in the drawer by
Lincoln and the customer departed.
That evening as Lincoln went over
his books to see II the days sales
Tailed with the receipts he found that
he had charged the customer twelve
and a half cents too much. At ten
o'clock when he locked up the store
he put the twelve cents in his pocket
and walked several miles out of his
way to return the money to the sur
prised customer.
On another occasion when Lincoln
opened the store in the morning he
found a four ounce weight upon the
scales. He realized that the weight

She dio not say what the two spe-

was for Alvin, but the other one, all

named Mary Johnson. Mary and Anne
used to be best friends when they
were in the primary school. but

friendship. Alma Moon, who never

did not come in her direction. She
