A length Of IS feet and an OPEN
ing Of IL feet square are the meas.
urements OF the worlds largest: horn
for broadcasting music received by.
radio. This giant horn is in success
full daily operation at Idora park, a
public amusement resort in California.
The broadcasting capacity of this
huge instrument is sufficient to carry
radio music throughout an area of
approximately 20 square miles.
In addition to. the. general interest
in its sheer size and simplifying range,
1t is Of absorbing Importance to the
radio expert because Of the fact that,
through the use Of its electro-dynamic
reproducer, such true tones have been
produced as to eliminate what IL
technically known as "distortion."
One thousand feet Of clear atrp1ane
spruce lumber went into the construc-
ton Of this. horn. The engineers who
built It were confronted with difficult
ties Of design and erection, owing to
its giant SIZE. 1t is equipped With
a late type Of radio reproducer and
power amplifier.
OF course the construction Of the
horn was more or less In the nature
OF. a spectacular stunt on the part
Of the amusement park, but the basic
idea is nevertheless impressive. It is
just another indication Of far-reach-
ing influence which warrants atten-
ton.

Telephone Tyranny.

OF all modern weapons Of offensive,
the telephone is the. most unfair, be-
cause, in the conflict that follows the
call Of action (Hello! Is this Subur'
ban 4428?), the party attacked has nc
adequate weapon Of defense. The re
ceiYer transmits into: the porches OF
the ear poison gas, in the form, lei
us say, Of an invitation to dine and
play bridge-a poison more deadly
than Juice Of cursed hebenon, because
we have no antidote at hand to pou,

only; possible retaliation. is the sharp
swift stroke Of deadly lie. That such
lie is justified, I have-in my sanel
moments-no doubt; but the momen,
I am called to the telephone never is q
sane moment. I falter. I try to pre-
varicate, decide to mix truth and
falsehood-and I am lost.

IT'S POOR ECONOMY TO SLIGHT
:. BUILDING TASK -

The farm building that leans or has
a badly sagged roof gives the impress
sion that it was built for only temper
ary' use. In many cases this was not
really the intention Of the owner, but
at slight saving of cement, nails or
paint, building that might have last
ed for years has become unsafe and
unsight1y: ". -'~. ..>..v,.
The high cost of materials that were
a few years ago very low in price,
makes it important that. the farmer
consider his building. needs with great
care. A building should be located SO
that it will fit into the farmstead when
other buildings are erected.
The plan should be given careful con-
sideration, so that the best possible ar
rangement may be secured and the
building furnish convenient shelter and
working space. 49,.
The materials used will vary with
the locality. Concrete, hollow building
tile, and well painted lumber when, put
in place by careful workmen will last q
great many years. TO try to save by
using lean mixtures of concrete, OF
| small dimension lumber, or fewer nails
than are necessary to insure perma
hence, is very poor economy, as the
building that lasts fifty or more years
is usually the economical one. There il

Penang is a little island which is

The Chinese Is d born gambler.
From obscure beginnings many a
Straits Chinese has grown immensely
rich, and then, again, has sunk into
poverty.
1t is seldom that a Chinese will 'sell
out" and invest his money safely. Even
when he has made E fortune he con:
tinues to gamble.
For him the whole zest Of life would
be gone If he were merely secure and
had no further chance ef making
more. A BOOM comes and he scars
a slump" comes and he disappears.
What with the collapse Of the rubber
and tin market, a good many have
gone under these last couple Of years
But he is a good loser; he always
hopes to rise again: The Chinese is
blessed with the gamblers optimism.

to the manufacture Of silk goods in
the United States, particularly those
that have to do with the early history
of that industry.
1t appears that the making Of silk
goods in our country has grown rap
idly since the year 1860. At that time
only Is per cent Of the silk used in
the United States was homemade. In
1870 the percentage Of home manu-

'.U' COMPLETES MOLDY SHAGE
EXPERIMENT

Moldy silage fed to cattle, horses and
sheep at the Minnesota Experiment sta
ton, University Farm, by dairy divi-
sion men, cooperating with university
plant Psychologists and veterinarians in
conducting feeding tests, caused no
sickness or apparent i'll effects among
the animals. In fact, some of them
seemed to thrive upon the prescribed
diet. Only the sheep registered occa-
sional protests against the daily menu
Horses and cattle apparently relished it
after the first week.
A great variety of moldy silage, sent
to the farm from various parts of the
state, was fed to the stock. To make
the experiment as thorough as possible
lrenches which were fairly alive with
molds in a growing condition were ad:
ministered. Then the scientists sat
back and waited, but nothing happened.
The experiments, running several
months, were promoted by many in
quiries concerning moldy silage and
the dangers supposed to be connected
with it in feeding: Twenty pounds of
it were fed daily for about four months
to each Of five head of cattle. The
diet was tried out on young and old
animals. Spoiled silage, to (which an
upstate dairyman had attributed the
death of six Of his cows, was, also used
in the feeding experiments at Univer'
sity Farm without any sign of INJURY
to- the stock.
University investigators do not con
tend there ere no elements of danger
under all the varying conditions affect
ing silage, but because of the expert;
ments made at the farm with three
classes Of livestock they feel that molds
are not dangerous in the general plan
of feeding: *~~.,..~:, II ~: i. ~. IS. :

She knew that beneath their CLASSY

would have been faint light of con-

her words reached. There was a slow
relaxation Of the body, change in
the. heavy breathing-he slept. She
drew her head away, then bent and
very lightly kissed his hot lips. The
lost, unhappy years were forgotten.
She knew the tide of sleep would

drawing away, her face on the calm

She rushed out. Doctor Louis was

She nodded. She heard his Quick
breath, and when she looked up was
frightened by the stark coldness in his
eyes, That very GOODNESS sobered her
sharply. Louis loved her with all the

forever from her reach this old love
that had come, broken, to her feet? 1t

In the little anteroom to the opera

the old, old struggle >began-the battle
of the living to keep the living.
