Chronometers on ships are no
longer necessary. Radio time signals
are replacing these Instruments. BY
these signals, just as by the chro-
nometers, the ships officers can tell
the Longitude of their vessel. Now, if
the chronometers go wrong, the ship
can depend on the regular radio
time signals from the powerful sta
tons at Arlington a1d at Mare
Island, Cal.
Keeping up with events by radio
is just as easy in the far north as
anywhere else. Professor Bibby, of
Toronto Observatory, has radio set
while conducting his Investigations at
TT. Norman, in the Canadian far
north. He gets time signals daily, so
as to have correct basis for his OBJ
servations.
A twelve-tube receiving set at Pa
ris, with one-meter loop antenna,
has been used in recent radio expert
ments. Experts have found that,
with this instrument, they could de
tect low power transmissions up to
5000 miles away, under ordinary con-
ditions. Besides detecting and am
plifying, the tubes have succeeded in
filtering out q great deal of static
and oh or disturbances.

BALL FOR ENDOW.
MENT FUND
Moose Lodge to Assist in Raising 10
Million Endowment Fund.
illinois News Bureau)

Mooseheart, H., March LAT
Mooseheart, H., the city, home and
vocational school of the Loyal Order
of Moose, built and maintained thru
| gifts of four cents the week from the
nearly 100000 members of the Order,
is a mighty power which surrounds
and encircles the children. Moose
heart is the bulwark that stands be-
tween fatherless children and ignor-
ance and poverty, vice and crime.
In the Mooseheart children you can
see the mirror of what human beings
were made to be. Life takes and
twists us. 1t blunts US, twists our
backbone, mains US body and soul.
But each time a child is born the race
dips back into the fresh beauty of
creation. Mooseheart service enables
them to retain that fresh beauty.
Mooseheart is not charity. 1t is a
service, which is purchased for four
cents a week by the father before he
dies.
Mooseheart, founded nine years ago
by James j. Davis, Director General
of the Order and u. S. Secretary Of
Labor, builded the Moose by making
men realize the dazzling uncertainty
of life, and he didn't need argument
or eloquence to get red-blooded men
to join the Order and give impetus
to the greatest of all programs for
the Conservation of Childhood.
Mooseheart's income from gifts of
10000 members of the Moose is
enough to carry on the work, but it
has been decided to build an endow-
ment fund of 100000 100000, and use
only the interest OF this sum for car
rying to greater success the work at
Mooseheart, the great and uprivaled,
where mothers are with their father
less children on their knees and their
arms about their necks while it lights
the torch of hope in the midnight
darkness of their lives.
MooSeheart, the home-School-town
and the City of Childhood, appeals to
men and women everywhere whether
they are Moose or not. 1t is expected
that the Endowment Fund Ball held
in Liberty Theatre, Wednesday,
March 8, will be largely attended that
this most worthy cause may be assist
ed and the great work carried on for
ever. Excellent music has been en-
gagged and there are surprises for
everyone. The endowment committee, !
consisting of local Moose will assure
everyone attending the Moose Endow-
ment Ball a most pleasant, enjoyable
evening.
