Brothers hospital in Rochester, Mimi,
after a long illness from goitre and
other complications. She had been at
the institution for more than two
months, but her illness had baffled the
skill Of the famous physicians. An OPP

LIFE AND CHARACTER READING.
March 18th,

The worst faults Of the person of
this date are worry, anxiety and a
diseased imagination. Many people
born on this date beat their hearts out
with unreasonable and unnecessary
fears, which are bound to make them
prematurely old. Many active and
successful businessmen have deliber-
ately taken their own lives over i'm
agined disaster when in reality there
was nothing wrong but their nerves
and imagination. These people, par
ticularly the women, have an innate
sense Of modesty. They have deep
hidden love nature and are always
anxious to do for those they love and
admire.
Watch the Want Ads carefully the
following month as they will offer ex-
cellent opportunity fer mechanics and
laborers.

THE SLAYER
BY BERTON BRALEY

I know I've got purple eye,
| know I'm bruised and cut,
know my nose is all awry,
| know I'm wabbly-but
Although I'm pounded half to death
And crawling on the ground,
Just give me time to get my breath
I'll try another round.
I'd like to lay me down and quit,
I'm shaky in the knees,
Ny arms are numb and cannot hit,
| gasp and choke and wheeze.
But still / say, as did Macbeth,
clay on, Macduff and when
I've sort of got my second breath
I'll try my luck again!
know I'm weary, listless, slow
And bleary-eyed and lame,
But here's .thought-for all know
The other guys the same;
So though he seems to have me skinned
Pm not entirely downed,
If | can get my second wind
I'll try another round!l

Declarations by distinguished mem bers of Congress recently in Alabama that the states richest resources are found in its wonderful system of rivers not equaled by any other state in the union, have served to focus general attention to these streams and their possibilities for enriching the state. Some of these streams have their headwaters in the north ern counties of the state, with outlet to the Gulf of Mexico.
 In alphabetical order these streams may be enumerated as: Alabama, Big bee, Cahaba, Chattahoochee. Conecuh, Coosa, Escumbia, Mobile, Pea, Sipsey Tallapoosa, Tensaw, Tennessee, Tom bigbee and Warrior. While all these streams are not navigable, each serves it's particular purpose in the state, by affording more miles of navigable water than can be boasted by any other state in the union.
 With this great system of rivers. ranging down from the mountains of north Alabama. and flowing peace fully through its rich agricultural sections, finding their final outlet into deep water at Mobile it is easy to see why the visiting statesmen class ed the states waterways as it's rich est resources.

rious sttemPts to build high frequen- cy aiternators had been unsuccessful because of the small power output. Success finally came with the adop- ton of an electric arc, which was followed by the successful Alexander son alternator now in use at the large transatlantic wireless telegraph stS tions.
 About the time developments which had followed the discovery of F. H.. Armstrong that a vacuum tube could be made regenerative resulted in the so-ealled oscillating tube, which greatly improved transmission by making it possible to produce any de- sired frequencies up to 300, GOO. 900 meters a second. Every wave length was thus made possible and radio telephony immediately became an actuality.
 Now the manner in which the oscil- lating tube operates Is as follows. Im- mediately the current is turned on into the flaments of the transmitting tube ,oscilliating currents are set up in the circuit attached GO it and these currents are radiated from the an tenna in every direction after passing through the oscillation transformer. nese currents are slmply electro- magnetic waves which surge through the ether in every direction and as they are absolutely continuous. they form a path for the voice to travel along, In exactly the same manner as the wire between two subscribers offersa path for their voices on regu- lar land telegraphy.

For this purpose other oscilliating valves. known as modulators are em- ployed, and the circuit attached to them is so arranged that it will pro- duce alternating currents which vary within the range of the human hear ing that is from 10000 cycles a sec ond downward.
 From this it will be readily seen that in actual telephony we have two sets of oscillating currents winch are going through the ether, The first is known as radio-frequency current, because it's frequency is so high that it is far above the ability of the ear to record. and the second is known as audio-frequency current, because it consists of freduencies that correspond to all the sounds which the ear can respond to. The former acts as the path for the voice ana the latter is the voice translated into electric current.
 By this time practically every radio fan has heard of these two terms radio frequency amplification and audiofrequency amplification. In most of the radiophone receivers now in use there is two stages of audio-fre- quency duplication. This consists of two vacuum tubes with suitable transformers connected 10 them They build up and increase the voice currents that are received on the aer- ials

VOICE CARRIED ON
 TRAIN OF WAVES
Radiophone Made Possible by Continuous Waves, or PathC
 way Throughout Ether

Ever since the radiophone enter. tsinment swept the country with cy- clonic force the average radio novice has spent days and nights trying to grasp the underlying principles upon which the music is sent through space without intervening wires. What are the electric waves? How are they produced? How do they travel?
 In the answer to these questions lies the story of one of the most re- markable developments ever accom- phshed by the genius of man. It is the story of perfect reasoning in theory followed by successful prac- tical application, and 1t is my inten- tion in this article to outline briefly the manner In which 1t was done, and so at the same time explain how the voice Is carried through the ether to million homes every night.
 When wireless telegraphy was first put into practical operation the elec- magnetic waves were produced by means of spark. In fact the opera tors were quickly dubbed Sparks" by passengers on liners because of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-16

spectacular characteristics of wire less in those days. Now spark tele- graphy was very inefficient. It pro- duced a train of electro gnetic waves which quickly died down to zero and there was an appreciahle amount of time between each train of waves. This time, although meas ured in millionths of second. was nevertheless a very serious handicap; in fact, so serious that wireless tele- phony would never have been possible with it,
 Continuous Waves Sought
 In studying the problems the seien- lists figured if a continuous train of waves could be produced 1t would not only increase the efficiency of wireless telegraphy, but radio tele- phony could also be achieved. It was worked out in theory that if an all ternating current of 50,000 cycles a second or more could be produced 1t could be utilized for radiating con tinuous waves from an aerial with out any zero. or "damping" effect.
 This conclusion was reached after careful mathematical calculations based on the fact that electro-mag netic waves travel through the ether at the rate of 800 00U,000 meters second, As an instance, 1t was quick ly determined that with a current of 50,000 cycles per second a wave of 5000 meters would be obtained, and such a wave would be ideal for trans oceanic radio-telesraphy For tele- phone purposes 1t was realized that shorter waves would be required and consequently much higher freQuen- cies.
 The question was how to produce such high frequencies. The highest commercial freduencV at that ti,1c had been 120 cycles per second. Va
