from one place and received at an
other. These waves have some Of the
characteristics of sound waves or the
waves produced by dropping a peb-
BILE into water.
Electric waves will pass through
a vacuum. They will go through
ordinary walls of buildings and other
opaque obstacles.
Strike the prong Of tuning fork.
Sound waves starting at the prong
travel out into the air in all direc-
tions. This is caused by the vibra-
ton of the prong. AS the prong
moves back and forth it causes the
air next to it ia move back and
forth. This motion is passed on to
the surrounding air. Sound. waves
travel about 1000 feet second.
Electric waves also consist of vi
brations and their passage is practi-
cally instantaneous.
Radio waves are of the same kind
as light waves. Both are electric
waves, the only difference being in
the frequency of the vibrations. The

ordinary low frequencies used in the
alternating currents for electric
lighting alternate very slowly and
travel readily along wires.
To make wave travel effectively
through space higher frequencies
are used. Ten thousand to 100000,
600 vibrations per second are requir-
ed for radio communication.
An electric wave starts from a
wire carrying alternating current
just as sound wave starts out from
vibrating tuning fork. The waves
spread out in all directions and go
to great distances. AS the sound
wave passes out through the air it
sets in vibration any object capable
of taking up the motion.
This can be demonstrated with two
tuning forks. Strike one of the
forks and Immediately grasp it with
the hand SO as to stop the vibration.
A sound will be heard from the sec
ond tuning fork, provided the second
is in resonance or tune.
This is the principle of resonance
in radio. The radio wave is made to
carry a voice wave and any receiving
instrument in tune with the sending
instrument can receive the message.
lnnumerable radio messages may
be in the air at one time but any
particular receiving instrument re-
ceives only the message sent by the
station with which the receiving in
Strument is in tune.

WHAT RAILROADS LOST

THE railroads, by high rates, in Is
. months have lost % per cent of
business they might have had at low
rates.
This is the estimate by Fred w.
Putnam, Of Minnesota railroad COM
mission.
One estimate. dealing with some
thing that never existed, probably is
as good as another. But no one can
deny that high prices, in the midst of
a period of generally falling prices,
strangle business.
Only certain per cent of the pub
lies income can be spent for trans
portation. Freight charges regulate
volume of traffic.

THE INSTALLMENT PLAN.

TWENTY-FIVE out of each 100

up by the National Retail Dry Goods
association.
Ninety per cent of the installment
plan buyers pay in full.
Ten per cent have their machines
taken away by the collector.
There's revelation in credit Only

he can chew, though some of tbs
others find the final installments likf

CARE NEEDED IN
INSTALLING SCI

MONT blame it all on static.
- Especially if the weather is
fair, humidity low and tempera-
ture cool, static interference is at
its lowest.
But if you cannot get satlsfac.
tory results in spite of good
weather conditions, look for some
other kind of interference.
Perhaps, in setting up the aerial
you have lined it up parallel TO
nearby telephone or telegraph
wires. That reduces the efficiency
of the aerial.
Or, crossed wires in the recelv-
ing set will impair the effective
ness of the apparatus.
Care in installing the radio set
leads to greatest possible eifie-
iency. "'.

I'M weary or doing things over,
Over and Over again,
Weary of treading the same beaten
track
Over and overland then
Knowing tomorrow and next day
I'll do it all over again.
I'm weary of doing things over,
| wanta break loose with yell,
Have | gotta see the same sights
every day,
Meet the same people as well,
Eat the same food that I've eaten for
year,
Smell the same smells that | smell?
If that's all get out of living
Like "honest, respectable folk"
just doing things over and over
Untile the end comes and croak-
Excuse me, I've gotta be going,
You won't see my trail for the
smoke!

LEAPS TO HER DEATH FROM
 FAST SANTA FEE TRAIN

Early Thursday morning while No. ', the west Santa Fe mail train was speeding past Griffith, near Kingman, a young Mexican woman whose iden- tity is unknown, crawled through the partially open window and jumped to her death.
 The woman who had bought tick ct from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, was not missed until the train pulled into Needles. Telegraph advices were sent back along the line and the train crew of No. 21, watching the side of the track as they passed, found her body near Griffith. The window from which she jumped was open but about 12 inches. The woman was either de- mented or Respondent it is thought, though the real reason for her action is not known. She had no baggage from which her identity could be trac- ed, and she was poorly dressed. Cor orner Sam Miller visited the scene and summoned jury to view the re- mains early Thursday morning before the body was removed to the Van Marter Undertaking parlors.-King- man Miner.

 Commencement week of the college has gained statewide popularity through the members of it's alumni association. Already the school ad- ministration has received dozens of letters and telegrams from former graduates saying they will visit the school during the entire week.
 Because of the interest of the alumni members the school Is arrang- ing special programs for their inter est.

PHOENIX IS MECCA OF
 GRASSHOPPERS THAT HOP
 IN FROM THE DESERT

A grasshopper epidemic has hit Phoenix. The most of the grasshop- pers come from the desert and are of an inferior species of hopper that usually stays on the ranches and eats crops.
 According to Grasshopper Expert George of the State Horticultural commission, the grasshoppers now in Phoenix at nights are attracted from desert, a distance of from 12 to 15 miles, by the bright electric lights.
 These grasshoppers are reported as destroying the rest of dogs and cats, giving untold joy to small boys and girls playing under the arc lights, and adding to the discomfortS of type writers during the day time. It is said that these grasshoppers eat lit tie but are fond of typewriter rib bons and the soft flesh of typewriter backs. This species of grasshopper, while he eats little, spits tobacco juice like his more learned brothers, who stay in the crops on the ranches. Merchants report sweeping out gener- ous quantities of these desert grass hopperS every morning.
 Farmers consulted said that the desert grasshopper now infesting Phoenix does not add to their trou- bles. They say it is no trouble to combat crop eating grasshoppers with bait made usually from paris green mixed in molasses, flour and other mash.

ARIZONA BONDED DEBT NOW
 AMOUNTS TO $43,296, ,294

The fact that modern improvements are not to be had for nothing is em- phasized by the Arizona Taxpayers association, which has submitted fig ures showing a bonded indebtedness of $43, ,296,294 of the Arizona counties, cities and towns, school districts and special improvement districts. This is in comparison with the total bond ed indebtedness at the date of state hood in 1912 of $S,290,309.
 Most of the added debt nas come in the building of schoolhouses, with roads a good second. Hundreds of country school districts have been bonded for modern buildings, while the indebtedness for school construc- tion in such cities as Phoenix and Tucson amounts to millions of dol lars.
 Maricopa county, the most populous subdivision, owes most, $17 7,144, ,071, of which SS,500,000 was incurred in the building of about 300 miles of con- crete roads. Pima owes $5,156,6SS; Yavapai $3,468,4 ,401; Yuma, $2,752,151; Cochise, $2,159,23S; Gila, $2,164,455 Pinal, $2,159, ,23S; Santa Cruz, $1 ,352,- 513; Greenlee, $1,213,264; Graham SS29,23S; Mohave, $S09,363; Coconino $725,000; Navajo, S717,000, Apache, S412,332.

FIRST GASOLINE MADE IN
 ARIZONA IS ON DISPLAY

A car of gasoline, the first ever made in Arizona, has just reached Douglas from the Rio Grande Oil company's refinery at Phoenix. Some of this gasoline was placed on display in Service Oil and Gas company's store building on G avenue, in con nection with the Trade at Home Buy Arizona Products week.
 G. Van Dusen, manager of the com pany, stated the gasoline was made from crude oil shipped from north Texas to the Phoenix refinery.
 According to the manager, the gasoline is manufactured according to the governments new naval specified tions, with view to giving the most efficient service. Easy starting, most mileage per gallon and complete com bustion are given as its essential quail ities.
 The product is named the Rio Grande Speedene gasoline.
