There are now about forty vacation
Bible schools in Washington. where
two or three years ago there were
only one or two. Tho Protestant
churches, 1t is said. are realizing more
and moro that to make good citizens
OF children they must be given more
Bible instruction than can be crowded
into the brief hour on Sunday
morning.
In these vacation schools every child
who attends is compelled to take the
Bible instruction planned for the
school, which consists Of story-teli-
ing and the committing to memory
Of verses from the Bible. Another
important feature Of the school ie the
work period. where the children are
divided into classes according to age
and taught the work they choose to
do. There are classes in carpentry,
hammock making, chair Gaming. bas-
ketry and handcraft work for the
youngest For the girls there are sew
Ing. knitting, crccheting and rug weav-
ing. There are also the music period,
health talks. and. last. but not least.
the play period, when the entire school
Is taken on a picnic, where the best Of

REPORT TRAINS DELAYED

Striking employees of. the Washing
ton terminal are holding themselves
in readiness today to operate the
trucks which the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association has planned to
press into use to bring foodstufrs into
the city in the event of a breakdown
of rail transportation. Although the
strikers have received no Official re-
ply to their offer to run and keep the
trucks in repair, union leaders are
confident that the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association will ap-
prove the action of the railroad shop
men.
Charles Holmes. president of the
Washington Terminal System Fedora
tion No. 10S. composed of members
Of the unions on strike, declared that
the strikers are anxious Ito do every
thing possible to maintain an ade-
quate food and fuel supply for the
District. A sufficient number of men
to man the trucks. he said. could be
mobolized from the ranks of the
strikers on short notice.
The "crack" Broadway Limited of
the Pennsylvania railroad, running
between Chicago and Washington,
the strikers claimed. is losing its
record for running on schedule time.
B. VI. Jewell. leader of the striking
shopmen, who came to Washington
to confer with President Harding,
was a passenger on this train when

BROADCAST NEGRO
HEALTH BULLETINS

The Public Health Service released
last night through NOF Naval Air
craft Radio Laboratory station. Ana
costa, D. c., public health broad
cast No. 81 on the Eighth National
Negro Health Week. This Is the
first time that an announcement OF
Negro Health Week has been made
by radio telephone. This broadcast
is also being released from other
broadcasting stations which are now
cooperating with the Public Health
Service. These stations are KFC,
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Seattle.
Wash; 7XF, Northwestern Radio
Manufacturing Company. Portland,
Greg; and the broadcasting station
at Hamilton. Ohio.
1t Is estimated that this broadcast
may have reached 100000 operators.
This broadcast forms a part of the
regular schedule of public health lee
lures which the Public Health Serv-
ice has been sending out since de-
cember 16 of last year.

The above diagram which, with the
exception OF the coil. Z, Is the orig
inal Marconi set-up. can be used
to illustrate the fundamental prin-
ciple of ali radio receiving sets.
Magnetic waves received on the
wires Of the aerial. A, induce high
frequency (more than 10000 vibra-
lions per second) currents in these
wires. Electrical vibrations of that
frequency cannot be recorded by the
human ear.
On passing through the detector
d, the hight equency currents are
changed to direct pulsating currents
OF audio-frequency. perhaps as low
as 500 yibI ations per second. These
electrical vibrations must be con-
verted into sound. This is accom-
"fshed by inserting the phones. p.
in the circuit. which are SO con-
structed as to cause diaphragm
TO Vibrste in response to the audio-
frequency vibrations. resulting in the
sound Of dots or dashes. as the case
may ne. The coil, L. called a load
ing mr. inductance coil. serves to adj
just the circuit to different wave
lengths. or wave trains. as they are
received on the aerial The ground
connection Is usually made to pipes,
rails or buried metal plates. all OF
comparatively low resistance

LESSONS GIVEN

FOrdham Courses Broad
casted for Disabled
Men.
GET DIRECT TOUCH
Method Found Superior to
Sending Instruction
By Mail.

In line with recent announce
ment that New York University
Will Instruct students by radio
telephone, word was received from
Fordham University. New York,
that radlotelephony is being used
in X. of c. evening classes for the
instruction of former service men.
In fifteen ofthe 1870 X. of c. eve
ming schools Throughout the country
class Instruction by wireless is be-
coming routine.
1t is thought that veterans IN
able to attend distant colleges for
instruction in technical subjects
may avail themselves of lessons
broadcasted by professors many
miles distant. The expense of in
stalling a radio receiving set would
be much less than that of the cost
of transportation in many In
stances. The disadvantage of cor
respondence courses in subjects
which demand the personal inter-
est of the instructor would be or
set by the modern method of trans
hitting lectures and demonstrati ons
via radio which establishes direct
lege authorities.
Former service men who are so
seriously crippled as to necessi-
tate their residence in one place
will be particularly favored by this
recent provision of the X. of e.
educational directors. The effec-
tive range of the most modern
radiophone transmitting sets is
now several hundred miles. in fact
direct conversations are frequently
made with all parts of the country
west Of New York. Advantage will
be taken of the fact that radio sig
nails as a rule carry best in the
evening hours. a point very much
in favor OF the new evening school

According to E. B. Kraft. chief

and entirely practical to deliver
