DISABLED BOYS
ATTEND WHITE
HOUSE PARTY
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

Washington, June 25.-The gar
den party season is just opening,
but the White House has already
had its only affair of the sort that
Is scheduled for this year. Two
thousand wounded war veterans,
some rolled in wheel chairs. some
limping on crutches, some guided
by other eyes, have passed in a
long line and been greeted by the
President and Mrs. Harding on the
White House lawn,
Garden parties are more or less
alike when private citizens receive
out-of-doors. A presidential af-
fair, however, is different. Wheth-
er the president be a Washington
with a leaning to courtly ceremony
or jefferson with bluff disregard
for pomp, an official atmosphere
surrounds all functions at the ex-
ecutive mansion. They areas dis
tinctive In their blending of the
formal and the informal as any
court ceremonies of Europe. A
veterans garden party is no diff
ferent, except that the contrasts
are more striking and human in
terest is more dominant.
The endless line of veterans, ac-
companied by their nurses. and
the young women invited to help
entertain them, must wind in
long serpentine through the cor
ridors of the White House, out into
the gardens and across the lawn to
the oak tree beneath which the
chief executive and his wife are
receiving.
Everyone must be presented for
mally to the president by a white
clad aide. The president speaks
word of greeting, and listens,
! perhaps, to brief speech the vete-
ran tries to make. At another big
reception the guests would find it
extremely difficult to murmur
| more than a nasty "how do you
do" to the president. The line is
long, and each person is shuttled
by as quickly as politeness permits.
But a veteran with only a stump
of right hand to offer his chief
is different. He may hold up the
line a moment or uo. Mrs. Hard
ing then shakes hands, and Gen.
eral Pershing, the last in the re-
ceiving line. greets each of the
veterans
Aides stand about to see that a
small clearing is kept around the
receiving line. There formality
practically ends, The veterans can
wander as they please about the
shady grounds. For most of them
1t Is a great event, and even for the
cabinet ladies and high officials
this particular function is an un-
usual experience in the round of
administration entertainments.
A ColorfuI Scene.
The scene is unusually colorful.
The closely cropped grass, red
rambler roses on the fence, gay red
and white striped marques where
refreshments are served, the ma
rine band in summer uniforms. the
white portico OF the mansion and
the blue sky Of a perfect summer
afternoon. making a striking pic
ture. These are typical of any
White House garden party. The
unusual feature this time is the
crowd.
There is a sprinkling of women
In organdy and silk and a few mid
dle-aged government officials. But
the blue, gray and white of nurs-

crowd around the president is so
deep that the outside knows only
by hearsay what is going on. Mrs.
Harding and General Pershing are
also besieged for autographs. The
news continues to spread. Eventua-
ally Mrs. Harding suggests that
some of the tags be marked with
the owners name and address and
given to her to be signed later and
returned. 1t Is o'clock and the
party is over.
The afternoon must have been
one of great emotional stress for
the president and his wife. These
men, so many of whom had to be
led, assisted or wheeled in chairs,
are the heroes Of war that Is
over, but they are still fighting.
Even the most boyish OF them Is
not young and exuberant At a
White House party in their honor,
on a brilliant June afternoon, they
are quietly happy.
Even to stand apart and see so
many of them together-the men
who are paying for the war-is
an affecting sight. To greet 1000
personally and to see at close range
the endless possibilities OF war
injuries and mutations must nec-
essarily be an overwhelming expe-
rience.
At sight Of one boy who had no
hands to offer in greeting and no
eyes to help him bear his other af-
overcome. He could only put his
hand on the boys shoulder and
say, Courage" Another sightless
young man came along the line,
led by his three-year-ol child.
The baby carried an American
flag in its other hand.

ing uniforms. and the khaki Of the
service, and the rolling chairs.
crutches, and bandaged arms and
heads dominate the scene.
There are chairs all about in the
shade so that the boys for whom
this affair means unusual eXertion
can rest. One nurse says that
every man who could possibly
walk or be safely moved left her
hospital. Some of them tried des-
perately to make enough progress
to be able to come, and there was
great disappointment among those
who were pronounced not quite
we'll enough for so much exertion'
Some OF the boys sit quietly in
one place. For the most part,
however, the guests of this occa-
sion move about, trying to see as
much as possible. They recognize
Secretary of State Hughes, and
they watch with amusement the
group of camera men who are fol-
lowing him about, swapping him as
he talks to a row of men in wheel
chairs or as he poses with his wife.
They are keenly interested in rec
ognizing and pointing out to one
another Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge; the cabinet officers and
their wives; Brlgadier General Saw
yer, the dignified little doctor, who
guards the presidents health;
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., assistant
secretary OF the navy; Mr.. Chris
tian, the presidents secretary.
A large audience gathers around
the receiving line to watch the 9TH
er guests meet the president. 1t
is a sign of the informality of the
occasion that a number OF snap
shots of the president are taken
One young man leading a sight
less soldier receives permission
from an aide and goes up to the
president and snaps a picture for
the boy to send home.
1t is more than an hour before
the last veteran In line has been
received. Even then not quite all
the guests have been greeted. The
president and Mrs Harding go
back to a driveway where two au-
tomobiles are standing. In each
car is a group of veterans who can
not walk and have come without
wheel chairs. They have been on
the outskirts of the party. Now
they are the center OF it, for the
president stands by the two cars
and talks with the boys in them
for some time.
The Presidential Autograph.
There is final furry Of excite
ment after this when some soldier
Is inspired to have the presidents
autograph. Each man is wearing
an identification tag, labeled with
the name of his camp or hospital
and under it white House partv

for each contingent enable the
president and the nurses to place

presented to the president for his

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
 in Wireless Transmission of y Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to have met with more or less success in developing method of transferring motion pictures by radio. Some months ago. photograph was trans ferred by wireless from the Copen- hagen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng land, and later from England to a ship in mid Atlantic, so that the possibil- ity of linking the movies with the new art Is not remote.
 If perfected the new development of the already versatile art will make 1t possible for one to see on his own re- ceiving instrument things that are hap pening at great distance. For instance, a ship is sinking at sea. The transmitting station of the vessel, in- stead of sending a message of the dis aster, sends a picture that anyone with a receiving set will be able to see just as the present broadcasting programs are heard.
 That all sounds remote now, but the telephone was considered even more so, and the wireless, even after Marconi's immortal message had bridged the Atlantic, was generally be- neved to be akin to the idea of per petual motion.

just the detector by changing the point at which the spring and crys- tai of the detector make contact until, when nearby electric light is snapped on and off, a click is heard in the head phones. The detector is now adjusted on a sensitive spot on the crystal. By changing the slider po- sition, the transmitting station should be picked up.
 After a station is once picked up 1t is an easy matter to adjust the de- tector and slider position until maxi mum response is obtained in the tel ephone receiver. With a simple set of the kind described in this and pre- ceding articles and a little practice one soon becomes adept at picking up given station. The entertainment derived from listening-in is usually we'll worth the time spent and the money invested.

HOW TO LISTEN IN

There are two variables in our radio receiver that require adjustment when it Is desired to listen-in; first, the detector, and second. the slide po- 'sition on the tuner. Once the slider position has been determined for any given transmitting station, it is only necessary to adjust the detector to pick up that same station again.
 To operate the receiver for the first time it is best to wait until some station like KDKA is transmitting be- tween 8:30 and 9:30 D. ID. Then ad-

TIPS TO THE RADIoIsT

Fired .22 caliber rifle shells make good switch points for tun- ing coils and receiving trans formers.
 A single wire /aerial 100 to 150 feet long is sufficient. for local and long distance reception of broadcasting stations.
 Do not string aerials across the street or across electric wires. Keep antenna wires off electric light and telephone poles.
 Stranded copper or solid cop- per wire should be used. Phos- phor bronze wire if obtainable is stronger but not superior to copper.
 Good contact with a piece of mineral like galena can be had by wrapping it in tinfoil. Of course, the top of the crystal is left exposed.
 The brass ends Of large car fridge shells make splendid crystal detector cups. They should be cleaned out thoroughly before they Nare used.
 The winding of cardboard tubes from oatmeal boxes may be improved greatly if the tube is first heated in an oven for about 15 minutes to take out the moisture and then wound :. or better still shellac it while 1t is still warm and leave it to soak in.
 Tn winding tuning coils with bare wire a thread should be wound on with the wire. This will separate each turn. When the coil is finished the thread can be taken off. Shellac should be applied immediately. When the shellac Is dry the copper wire will hold its place.
