icanism commission of the American
Legion in making the week a success.
Announcement proclaiming the Amer
lean Education week followed a con-
ference In Washington between Presi-
dent Harding, Commissioner Tigert
and Garland w. Pow ell, assistant ma
tional director OF the Americanlsm com
mission. President Harding announced
he would issue an official proclamation,
followed by similar ones from COVER
nors OF the states.
Commissioner Tigert, through the
United States bureau of education, will
request state and county s~uperintend-'
ents of schools to devote the week TO
the American Legion program, which
will start Sunday, December 3. Minis
tiers of all denominations will be asked
to preach sermon morning and eve
ming that day on the benefits of educa-
ton. Mass meetings will be held
throughout the United States, at which
speakers will be supplied by the Amer
lean Legion.
Monday VIII have its special slogan
Americans All by 1927"-with It's
drive throughout the country TO assist
immigrants and aliens to become good
Americans, by starting their education
in the duties of citizenship. Tuesday
will be devoted to patriotism, with such
suit .cts as Universal Use of the Eng

Not all the energy induced in a re-
ceiying antenna by the wave produced
by the transmitting station is useful.
Part of the energy is reradiated. part
is lost due 10 the resistance Of the an
tenna conductors. part is lost due to
the eddy currents produced in neigh
boring non-conducting material. and
part Is lost by leakage around the an
tenna insulators. All Of these losses
can be reduced to a minimum by prop
erly locating and erecting an antenns
The losses due 10 eddy currents can
be reduced by erecting the antenna
so that ii Win not be near any objects
such as houses, barns. trees. etc. The
resistance loss can be reduced by MS
ing a heavy conductor Of low high
frequency resistance, such as stranded
phosphor bronze cable. Good. long
insulators with plenty of surface
creepage distance win minimize in
sulator leakage. just as much care
should be taken in bringing In the
