China Instqlls Cross
 Country Radiophone

China will put into operation this week the longest commercial radio telephone circuit in the world, it was announced yesterday
 Radio telephone sets have been in- stalled at PekinR and Tientsin, bridg- ing a gap of 20 miles They have been connected with the regular telephone lines of the Chinese government
 When telephone subscriber in Picking desires to talk with a friend in Tientsin he puts in his call in the usual manner to the operator at Pek- ing, who signals Tientsln over radio channel. The Tientsin operator in turn makes the necessary connec- tion and the conversation is on So far BIS the operation of the system is con- cerned. the procedure is no different from what it would be if wire con nections were provided throughout.
 In the past Picking has been prac- tically deprived of all long distance telephonic connection with the other cities of China. The interurban lines operating out of the Celestial capital are so few and the demands for serv- ice so great that telephone subscrib- CTS have found 1t difficult to get service. To add to the difficulties of the government department of com AhAHltdAioIS Nlt IoDDcT UdUuS that have infested the country since the start of the Peking- Canton differ ences have learned the value of cop per and have acquired the habit of cutting down unprotected telephone wires. Both of these troubles will be obviated by the new aerial circuit 30 far as Picking and Tientsin are con cerned.
 To the United States goes the credit of giving China the means for sim plifying It's telephone problems. The radio apparatus was provided by the International Western Electric com pany and manufactured in this coun- try.
 The radio sets supplied to the Chi nese have special features to insure the greatest freedom possible. from terference both from atmospheric electricity and from other stations The normal range of the trsnsmitters Is approximately 100 miles under fair ly severe conditions. Under favorable conditions the sets have a very much greater range. During the installation period a number of sests were made in which music was broadcast from the transmitting station. Tn some of these tests the music was heard at points 1000 miles away from the transmitting station.

cooperation between the body of re- sponsible amateurs and the radon in- spectors.
 Tt does not matter how much in sympathy with the American boy Secretary Hoover may be, he cannot override the force of public opinion, and if the general public ever be- comes antagonistic toward the anna tour the government officials will have to take action.
 There, 1t seems to me that the radio clubs should take 1t upon them selves to sec that the radio laws are strictly compiled with so far as their own particular members are con cerned. Just how they should 20 about this Is a difficult question to answer, because, while there should be cooperation to bring about the fullest possible efficiency In use of the ether. nevertheless the responsf- ble amateur should not be suppressed or curtailed.
 There is another important point I think should be brought to the at tention of the amateurs themselves. l think that every amateur should train himself to report every in- Engagement of the wave-length law which he observes. He should not feel that he is 'snitching' or telling tales. He should do it in order to protect himself and his fellow anna teurs who are obeying the laws, and who might suffer from the acts of the man who is maliciously floutlng all regulations and spelling things for everybody"

First Broadcasting
 RGdiOphOne Run by
 Students of College

The Union College Radio club, at Schenectady. N. r.. began en.fng out musical programs in the early fall of 1920, before any of the large radio broadcasting stations were in regular operation. The station erected by the club is believed to be the first that sent out programs regularly. Students who had returned to their studies after war service organized the radio club at the opening of college two years ago. Devoting their spare time and two or three evenings a week. a radio station was put in order, and on October IA, 1920, the first program was sent out. The success of this concert, which was made up of phono- graph records only. voiced in the many letters and postcards received from amateur fans with receiving sets, so enthused tho students that they decided to continue their con certs every Thursday night.
 In less than a month letters had been received from virtually every state east of the Mississippi river from three provinces in Canada and from ships 700 miles at sea.
 T never knew that Annie Laurie could sound so fine" wrote the oper- ator of the steamship Rockville, TOO miles out of New York. The steamship Ann Arbor, in Lake Michigan, sent: When these old salts start shaking their shoulders and doing the shimmy act, I'll say that they are enjoying the music"
 Other notes just as enthusiastic were received until to date there are thousands of letters, indicating that Station EXC, now licensed at WRIl, had been heard very well within a radius of 1,500 miles of Schenectady,
 Music on Baby Carriage
 The students have also particip pated In many novel feast sucl. participated ping baby carriage with a receiy- Ing set, so that lullabys were receiv- ed and transmitted from a horn on the carriage, no matter where it was wheeled about the city. The music played at the college junior prom last May supplied by an orchestra from New York. was picked up by a horn over the platform in the college gym nasium and broadcast from 8 o'clock at night until 3 o'clock the following morning. Cards received indicated that not only had the college boys danced to this music. but that sew eral fmpromptu dances had been held that night some in cities a thou sand miles distant.
 Until this season the college club had been using a homemade set, using six 50-watt radiotrons It has just installed a transmitter. which has four 200-watt tubes, thus making the broadcas-ing qu.pment about four times as efficient. The station is located in one end of the electrical engineering laboratory.

TAXI PIRATES.

Katherine Wood. In the Designer.
 Beware of piratesl Two girls who were vacation bound with bags and boxes were forgotten by the taxi driver they had engaged. and at the last moment in desperation started for the subway. Suddenly a huge sea going affair loomed up in the street, and they hailed it with thanks and asked to be driven to Grand Central. Upon arriving, thepirate declared the fare was $6. Normally, for the dis tance. it was $3, but that was a bar gain made beforehand with an estab- lished company.
 The taxi driver always looks for a tip. It need be only small one, but tor the privilege of repeating direc- tions to him and having him turn the door-handle when you alight you must cross his palm with silver
 Above all, the tip with the smile wins-not patronizing My good man, take this from your superior" or deprecating "I-know-this s-isn't quite-what-you- expect" air. but the smile courteous.

Gladys Nillsen, in the Designer have no children of my own. but am going to tell you how my parents handled the money question.
 As soon as l was able to know what money stood for, my parents made me earn every cent I got. for which I thank them now.
 One day wanted a toy very badly. They made me understand that must have money before I could get that toy. I immediately set my brain to work, and finally an idea for earn ing It occurred to me. Learning then that money was hard to get I knew that must spend carefully This in- eldent occurring early in my life taught me the value of money.

Soil Management and It's Relation
 to Home Gardening

to Home Gardening
 The chief secret that leads to suo- cess in soil production is the appli- cation of rational methods of soil management to increase and conserve its fertility.
 The subject is too broad to present here. in all the necessary details. for a dear understanding but there are certain fundamentals that should be known and understood by every one If profitable results are to obtain.
 When one realizes the amount of energy and misdireeted effort ex- pended in plant production resulting in failure, the great economic waste becomes apparent.
 The soil itself is the chief factor. and inasmuch as the home gardener does not often have the option of suitable soils, its management be- comes a problem too often unsolved: : yet Is 1t a fact that through ra- tional systems of cultivation and the application of needed elements of fertilizer or plant food, most all soils may become highly productive.
 Preparing the Soil
 It should be understood that thor ough preparation of the soil before planting anything is the greatest form of economy that contributes to
 
 The preparation needed and the ap- plication of fertilizer while depend- ing on the character and natural fer tility of the soil, may seem at first as an unusual or unnecessary ex- pense but it always reduces the labor bill in the end with it's consequent gain in yield.
 The soil should be broken up deep ly with a blow or spading fork and pulverized as fine as possible by breaking all clods and heavy pieces of sod or turf. A heavy application of stable manure prior to breaking. will prove of great benefit. An ap- plication of hydrated or air slaked lime. after breaking the soil. applied at the rate of fifty pounds to a space 50 by 40 will exert a beneficial influence out of all proportion to its small cost.
 If available, some form of carbon ate of lime, such as finely ground limestone rock or marble, is even better and may be applied more lib orally.
 Lime is not an essential plant food or fertilizer, its chief function is to sweeten or neutralize the acidity of the soil and when 1t Is known that most cultivated plants do their best in 8 neutral or slightly alkaline soil and that micro-organisms or bacteria so essential to productive soils, in- crease their multitude to the maxi mum in an alkaline medium, the req
