NOTHING FROM THE DEAD

The magician Houdini declares that
he has never found a medium who
could do anything that he could not
do and that none of the persons who
have promised to communicate with
him after death have sent any mes
sage. There is still no message from
that bourne from which no traveller
has ever returned.
Nothing has been produced by a me-
dium that warrants the belief that
there has been any communication
from the dead, though a great many
people often believe there has been
and some have found comfort in the
belief.
Mediums as rule are not con-
scious humbugs. They believe that
they hear messages from the dead.
But these so-called messages are all
developed from the subconscious of
the medium himself. Sir Oliver Lodge
and Sir Conan Doyle are the most
notable men in the ranks of the spir-
itual,sts and both of these are very
like Is among those who Houdini says
have become morbid on the subject,
Sir Oliver believes that he has had
mes sages from his son who was kill
ed in the war, and for some reason DR..
Doyle seems to have reached almost
the same state of morbidness.
When medium tells person
many things which he is perfectly
sure no one but himself has ever
known, this one at once assumes that
the medium can tell anything. He
does not separate the art Of mind
reading from the supposed power of
communicating with the dead. This
fact accounts for the army Of eredu-
lous persons who flock to the mediums
for the Information which they are
supposed to be able to give. No al
legged communication from the dead
has ever contained fact that was
not already known to the medium or
to one with whom the medium was
able to communicate while in the
hypnotic state. No dead person has
ever sent a message that would dis
tinguish him from all the other per-
sons who have died or one that told
anything whatsoever about the after
life. Most of the alleged communi-
cations are either trifling or utterly
silly and all are delivered in the Ian
guage Of the medium, even down to
the last detail of incorrect grammar
which the medium is accustomed to
use.

PARENTS RESPONSIBLE

The decision recently banded down
by the supreme court of the state OF
Washington in the case of a minor
convicted of manslaughter with an
automobile should serve as timely
lesson to parents everywhere.
In this instance a boy, under the
age at which the Washington law
permits the operation of automobiles,
was driving his fathers car at an
excessive rate Of speed on highway,
and ran over and killed a man.
The widow of the victim of the ac-
cident sued the father of the boy
not the boy himself-for damages.
In the trial of the case attorneys
for the defendant attempted to show
that, by reason of the fact that he had
not given his permission for the boy
to drive the car, the father was not Ii
able for the death of petitioners hus-
band; but the jury held that the faith
er was liable, found for the plaintiff,
and the supreme court subsequently
upheld the verdict, by which the de-
fendant is ordered to pay the widow
$4,000.
The boy, in the meantime, is serv-
ing a term in the state reformatory,
to which he was sentenced following
his conviction on a charge of man.
slaughter.
This case will undoubtedly be cited
as a precedent and have weight in all
trials of similar nature in all of the
courts of the country.
Ii ought to serve as a warning,
not only to boys and girls who drive
or feel the urge" to drive an auto
mobile, regardless of the fact that
they are not of legal age, but also to
parents who own cars.
In North Carolina the law forbds
the operation of motor car by any
child under sixteen years old; and,
according to the Washington su-
preme court, if, while operating an
automobile, boy or girl under that
age should meet with an accident re-
sulting in injury to another, the minor
driver would not be held criminally
responsible and the father, mother or
guardian would be liable for damages.
No child under sixteen is compe-
tent to handle an automobile with
safety.
And the only means by which pa
rents may safeguard themselves
against damage suits from that source
is to assiduously refrain from en-
trusting their cars to their children.

THE WILLIAM GETS REVENGE

II NlLLit-N uE > hEN EANuE
When Mexico opened war on the
United States after the admission OF
Texas into the Union, she issued no
declaration of war nor stated what
her purpose was, just started up fight
ing on the border.
Texas was a province of Mexico
and old San Antonio was its capital, il
having been a settlement since the
days of the Spanish explorers. More
crowded out by the pushing pioneers
from the States and finally they rose
in insurrection and administered a
crushing defeat to the Mexican forces
sent out to quell them. Sam Houston
administered terrible drubbing to
them after they had massacred the
Americans at the Alamo, which Is in

government, seeing that its last hope

United States forces in that terri
tory. was not any dispute about
the boundary line, but one about the
whole Of Texas.
There is cn old tradition that at
the battle Of Beuaa Vista General
Santa Anna called down curses upon
America and all Americans forever,
and declared that the Virgin had come
down on the battlefield and told him
that the United States and partcu-
larly Texas, should be forever punish
ed for tho war upon his people.
Someone has suggested that the
boil veevil which came across the
Mexican border in 1892, forty-six
years after, was the curse that Mex
leo has sent in verf.cation of the
prophecy. At any rate, this insect has
been bad enough TO be q fufillment
For the rast four years the boil

The loss by this insect during the
past four months alone is greater than
the cost of all the wars of this coun-
try, in money and material, from the
Discovery of Columbus, down to 81.
II we count the total loss since the
Invasion at Brownsville" we have an
estimated damage in excess of S3,000,-

Up to France

Chaos must reign in Europe for
another period of time.
The international bankers of the
world, with J. P. Morgan at their
head, have ruled against extending a
loan to Germany without first having
the war PREPARATIONS placed at figure
which the Germans will be able to
meet without completely wrecking
their industries and reducing the po-
pulation to absolute poverty and slav-
cry.
Every nation concerned agreed to
and advocated a revision of the re-
parations figures except France. She
refused, and by her refusal the loan
was blocked.
In demanding her pound of flesh to
the last ounce, when reasonable con-
cession would have meant the rehabil-
itation of stricken Europe, herself in
cluded, France has made the mistake
Of her life, one which will cost her
dearly in the end.
Had she agreed to a revision of
the reparations the European situa-
ton would have been rapidly cleared
up through the action of the bankers
in financing a readjustment and the
consequent return to industrial and
commercial prosperity.
This improvement would have ex-
tended to America and every other
distant country. The whole world
would have shared in the beneficial
results.
France, it would seem, is so blinded
with passion she can not see the hand
writing on the wall, although it is
plain to every other nation under the
sun.
If she persists in her present course,
to the detriment of the entire world,
the day may come when she will have
to fight Germany again, but she will
fight alone. There will be no foreign
armies sent to her relief, as was done
in the last war. Other nations will
not care to sacrifice their sons to aid
a nation that is too stubborn to aid
itself.
In three months the international
bankers will meet again. The French
have yet time in which to redeem
themselves-if they will.-lvanhoe

stop. Then why not do the same for
the other chaps child? Man to man,
now-do you want some little chap
to cry all his life because you made
him cripple /?
There is a sermon to automobile
drivers in the doctrine of using the
brake instead of the horn. 1t is true
that children should not play in the
streets, and it would be better for
them to use as much judgment about
crossing streets as adults-though
even the grownups do not always dis.
play judgment that is faultless.
However, the fact is that one Of the
qualities of childhood is impetuosity.
Children playing safely in a yard will
suddenly decide to cross the street
and away they go, without looking to
see whether a car is coming. "A
driver may go ahead, declaring he
has the right to be in the street, yet
in such cases applying the brake
usually will prevent an accident and
blowing the horn only confuses the
child and makes accidents all the
more likely.
The exercise Of due diligence can
not always be expected and the bur-
den of saving children from injury
or death rests on the person who sits
at the steering wheel. Sounding the
horn is the common practice, but
applying the brake is demonstra-
ton of sounder judgment. Indian

THINGS BEGINNERS
MUST LEARN FIRST
Explanation Of Terms Used in
Radio and of Its Basic
Principles.

Due to the great interest taken in ra-
dio since broadcasting stations have
been started, many radio terms are
seen and heard that may be unfamiliar
to the novice Some Of the most COM
monty used terms are explained and
defined below.
Like light, heat and sound, radio
energy is propagated in the form Of
wave motion. Every one is familiar
with the wave motion set up on the
surface of a still body Of water by the
dropping of stone into it.
/ Every time a point on the surface
Of the waves goes through a complete
set of motions and starts to repeat
those motions the wave Is said to have
gone through a cycle.
The number Of complete cycles gone
through per second Is the frequency.
The human ear Is responsive to
sound frequencies up to a few thousand
cycles per second but il. not capable Of
responding to the higher frequencfes
encountered in radio. Arbitrarily
frequency of less than 10000 cycles
has been called an audible frequency
-One which can be heard-and frel
quencies above 10000 cycles, radio or
inaudible Observation-Disclosures they
cannot be heard by the human ear.
The particular type Of wave which
propagates radio energy is an electro
magnetic wave. All Of us have seen
bits of iron and steel attracted by the
little toy magnets made up in the form
Of horseshoes. This attraction Of the
magnet for the bits of iron and steel
showed the existence Of magnetic
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1922-07-05

The h1gh-frequency current Is Know
IS the carrier-wave and it's function
$ to lradiate into space in the form Of
,lectro- magnetic waves and by its va
ration in amplitude carry with it the
variation in the tone at the transmit
ting station.
It is the frequency Of the carrier
wave that determines the Wave-lengtn
on which radiophone station is trans
mitted. By experiment it has been
found that electro magnetic waves
travel at the same velocity that ligl+
waves travel, that is, $4,000 miles per
second Wave-length is the distance
between any two similar points On two
successive waves; for example, the dis
lance from crest to crest of any two
successive waves in the same direction.
measured in meters, unit of length
equal approximately to one and one.
tenth yards Converting 10000 miles
to meters, the equivalent is 100000, 600
meters. The length Of an electro-mag-
netic wave is equal then to aO0,OOO,OOO
divided by the frequency. Suppose
station was transmitting on wave
length of $50 meters. The frequency
of the carrier-wave would be approx
m;tely $4,000 cycles.
Just as violinist tunes his instru-
ment, that is, makes certain string
emit a note of higher or lower pitch,
or, technically speaking, sound wave
Of higher or lower frequency, by adj
justing the tension on the string, so
may the electrical constants Of the
antenna circuit Of radiophone trans
mitter be changed in order to have
the station emit carrier-wave of
different frequency.
If tuning fork having natural
period corresponding to middle G be
placed near violinist who is playing.
the fork will vibrate when the musis
clan plays middle G, but all other times
1t will remain quiescent. This phenom-
enon of the tuning fork vibrating
whenever the musician plays the cor
responding note on the violin is known
dis mechanical resonance. If radio
receiver be adjusted so that electrically
its natural period OF vibration will be
835, 900 cycles (360 meters wave
lengthy every time station transmits
on a wave-length of $50 meters, cur
rent will be set up in the receiver by
