D. C. INVENTOR TO TELL
HOW TO RADIO PICTURES
Device for Broadcasting Photo

Public Meeting.

Washington's inventor-G. Francis
Jenkins-whose latest achievement of
broadcasting pictures by radio star
tied the scientific world, will come
from the seclusion of his laboratory
next Wednesday night long enough
to publicly explain, for the first time
! the apparent mysteries of his new in
Vention.
Due to the persistent efforts of Miss
Cecil Il. Norton, general director Of
the community Center department of
TIE public schools Mr.. jenkins con
aented to address IA public meeting
next Wednesday night at h:l5 O'Clock

Cloyd Recreatonal singing will be di-
! rected by Robert Lawrence. organizing
director of Washington's music week.
In addition to invenjing a machine
that will send pictures by radio, Mr..
Jenkins in 1893 perfected q protector
which made possible the commercial

1t Is stated that the plates are only

other advantage of this construction
Is that the capacity Of the condenser
Is unchanging, and it can be used for
precision work in a laboratory. 1t

In experimental work. The minimum

and the condenser is very compact

insulation resistance is high and the
effective resistance is low.
The movement of the rotary plates
is controlled by the large knob. When
the proper adjustment is found the
rotary places may be clamped in pc
sition by means of the smaller knob
The top Of the condenser is a hard
rubber disc plate. which has the $50
degrees scale very nicely engraved
upon ii. The pointer has "A knife
edge, SO that an accurate setting of
the plates may be made to a fraction

plates are counterbalanced. so that
the condenser may be mounted in any
position without fear of having an
adjustment changing when the hand
Is removed from the adjusting knob.
The connection between the rotary
plates and the binding post is made
through a spring. which entirely elm

its resistance variation.
The condenser is made in sizes hav-

%&rBEDTInE,
Wise Old BoWser.

Never let excitement steal away your wit.
When you find this happening that's the time
to quit. -Bowser the Hound
There is a great deal of wisdom in
the head of Bowser the Hound. II
there were not, Reddy Fox and Mrs.
Reddy and Old Granny Fox would
have no cause to worry about him.
That they do have cause to worry
proves that Bowser has learned to
use his wits quite as well as they
have learned to use theirs.
Now, there is nothing in the world
that Bowser the Hound enjoys quite
as much as chasing a Fox. 1t isn't
that he wants to kill that Fox. 1t is
that he delights in the chase and in
matching his wonderful nose and his
wits against the wits of the one he
chases. If Reddy and Mrs. Reddy and
Old Granny Fox were not SO Smart
there wouldn't be half the fun for
Bowser in chasing them. When one
of them plays trick on him and he
loses the scent he gets just as much
fun In working out that trick and
finally finding the trail again as you
or l do in working out difficult
puzzle.
Now. when Reddy Fox had first
heard the distant whistle of the train
Bower had not heard it. Bowser
had been too intent on finding where
Reddy had left the water of the
Laughing Brook. When he did find
that trail again it was so fresh and
so easy to follow that Bowser didn't
even notice in which direction it led.
The scent left by Reddy's feet was so
strong that Bowser knew that Reddy
could not be far ahead of him. Hes
getting tired" thought Bowser. MY
I am glad my coat is short! With
that long coat of his he must be ter
ribly hot. l am hot myself. but l
am not suffering. / do believe 1 am
going to catch that scamp this time"
So Bowser continued to send the
echoes ringing with his great voice
as ne ran with his nose to the ground.
Every once in a while he would look
up, but only long enough TO lift his
head and bark. But each time he did
this he glanced ahead. Finally. when
he did this he saw Reddy sitting
down, apparently resting, only short
distance ahead. Bowser roared louder
than ever. He could follow by sight
and run faster than when he had to
depend on his nose. He was excited.
He was very much excited. He al
ways is excited when he can see a
Fox.
Reddy leaped to his feet and start
ed of in a straight line as fast as he
could go. 1t was then that Bowser
saw the railroad bridge and for the
first time realized where Reddy had

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, August 26.-Al-
though the annual fair. which closed
here last evening, was big success, the
total receipts were not, as was at one
time thought. the largest in the society's
history. Treasurer Eugene Cissel says
the figures will fall considerably behind
the receipts Of 1921. which was the
banner year. There will, however, be
sufficient funds to more than pay all
expenses Of the four-day exhibition.
The prize of IS offered by the So
ciety to the oldest man attending the
fair who registered at the secretary's
Office, was awarded to Ignatius T. Fulks
of Gaithersburg. Mr.. Fulks gave his
age az ninety years. three months and
fifteen days. Next to him was Edward
W. Horner of Rockville. whose age was
given as eighty-nine years, seven months
and twenty-five days. The two old

time since Fox had led Bowser near
that track. But the sight of that
bridge instantly reminded Bowser of
a trick that Old Granny Fox had once
tried to play on 'him. 1t had been
very long ago and SBowser hadn't
thought Of it for a great while. But
he did think Of it now, and turned to
look down the track. There was
train coming!
wise old Bowser stopped right
where he WAS. He knew just what
Reddy had hoped to do. Bowssr al
most chuckled. 'The red rascal!' he
exclaimed to himself. He, thought
I would be 80 excited by being SO
near him that would not notice that
train and so would be caught right
in the middle Of that bridge. I'm
sorry Reddy has such a poor opinion
Of my wits. I'll just let this train
pass. then I'll trot across behind 1t
and hnd his trail somewhere on the

So Bowser sat down and watched
the train pass. He saw Reddy jump
from the track on the other side OF
the bridge just in the nick of time.
Then. without a sound. Bowser got up
and trotted across the bridge IN
safety.
