two terms called audio frequency and
radio frequency.
The necessity of making q distinc-

vibrations of over 10000 a second are
inaudible to the human ear. The radio
transmltters, depending upon their de-

waves 1t is necessary TO reduce them
to within the range OF audIbIlity Of our
ears.
Therefore, ar arbitrary division has
been made by radio engineers and de-
signers to diferentiate between the
two freQuencles. All f~requencies above
10000 are alluded to as radio fire.

also bear on the possibility OF the
disuse Of the natural tree.
The Ynle log succumhet 70 the
greater attractiveness OF the Christ
mas tree. And the Yule log had Its
predecessors In the various celebra-
lions that occurred at the close of the
old and the beginning of the new
year during the first centuries of the
Christian era.
The Christmas tree Is believed to be
a German institution. but the Romans
celebrated the birth OF Christ about
the middle of the Fourth century by
the display of tree decorations, and In
some sections Of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment Of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should
not be cut except from dense growths
where thinning of young trees can be
made with benefit TO the forest. The
New York State College of Forestry
in the interest OF conservation of the
forests urges the adoption of artificial
substitutes for trees In the observ.
ances of the Yuletide festival.

THE INVISIBLE GIFT

| THERE'S a gift on the Christ
mas tree that we cannot see,
but we know it's there. There's
something that gives value to
all the rest and we feel 1t. With
the rich there are fifty gifts to
n baby; with the poor, fifty
babies to one gift; with both
there Is this something that
makes an equal happiness. some-
thing that gives riches nothing
over and poverty nothing lack
ing. something that gives light
without candles and warmth
without fire. The tree itself
springs from II, the Christmas
festival sings of 1t. We are all
excited by IL and about IL. IL
fills the shops with beautiful
things, gathers crowds to buy
them, hangs gsriands IN the
windows, carols on the air. II
makes the church bells ring and
kindles devoutest worship. II is
love that hangs upon the Christ
mas tree. Without the Cross the
Christmas tree had never been.
