a certain something which they

inspire the implicit confidence of

Rndio Goes EXPLORING.

Equipped with special radio re-
ceiving set, party of ten explorers
from the geological survey left Lees
Ferry, in northern Arizona. August /
for a 300-mile trip down the Colorado
to the mouth Of the Virgin river, at
Rioyille. New.
Unfortunately. these modern sur
veyors, who are following the route
first explored by Maj. Powell fifty
four years ago. were unable to carry
a radio transmitting set. due to weight
and space. But they are carrying a
modern receiving set and will be able
TO hear what Is going on in the world
during the three months, although
they will be unable to return daily
their adventures in mapping this
ments have been made, however. with
the radio stations of the Deseret New S
of Salt Lake City and the Los Angles
Times to broadcast bulletins sent from
trail crossings. The dispatches will
be relayed by runners and telephone
or telegraph when the party gets far
enough down the Colorado to reach
the regular lines of communication.
In this manner the world will be ad-
vised of the progress of the explora-
ton in the canyon and passage of the
four boats through some of the wild
est rapids in the country.
The special radio set was recon-
structed by r. l. Atkinson Of the
survey from a standard Westinghouse
regenerative set, adapted to two
stages of amplifcation with new
tubes. The whole outfit, including the
bate ries, is packed in a waterproof
wooden box with sponge rubber to
keep 1t from Earring during the long
boat trip. An especially constructed
antenna on a reel, capable of being
erected at camp sites on the banks of
the river. can be strung from short
poles or from projecting rocks to a
length Of $50 feet
A preliminary radio test at Lees
Ferry has already been made, and it
is reported that the explorers re-
ceived broadcasts from Los Angeles,
430 miles away. without difficulty at
night. The real reception test. Col.
c. H. Birdseye, who is in charge of
the party, believes, will come when
they are in the lowest part of the
canyon, estimated as mile deep, near
Ell Tovar. where dead spots and static
may be encountered.
Besides the geological and topo-
graphical results achieved the trip
will also prove of material interest
in the development of radio COM
munication. along with experiments
undertaken by the bureau of mines
and other governmental bureaus to
see how far radio will carry into the
bowels of the earth"

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

BARBARA is the feminine form of the
- Greek name meaning Stranger" 1t
was adopted by the Romans and has
been given the additional varied mean
ing of Cruelty or "ill-adapted splen-
DOR" according to some philologists
The flower for Barbara is Il rather meek
little emblem for so clustering a name.
1t is the dainty little starlike chick
weed that grows with the least possible
amount of encouragement in every gar
den. 1t is also called the American
starwort. Belligerent as is the general
sentiment connected with the name
Barbara. the motto for Barbara is
welcome"
The name was originally spelled Bar
barry and some authorities claim that
the first Barbara was Barbary, a native
girl of Asia Minor. who had the repu-
tation of being wild and barbarous
person when she lived in Egypt.
One of the earliest Rarbaras was ST.
Barbara a virgin martyr and canonized
in both the Greek and Roman Catholic
churches. Little definite information
about st. Barbara has been brought to
light, but 1t is generally understood that
she was martyred at Nicomedia, or
iBithynia, about the end of the third
century. Both churches have her day
on December 4.
lnere are fe" names Tor GlTlS hdy-
ing as many variations as Barbara. The
following are some of them: Scotch
Babie; English Barbara. Babby and
Babs French, Babette and Barbe; Ger
man, Barbel and Barbchen: Slavic, Va
vara: 1llyrian. Eara; Russian, Varinka /;
Hungargian. Borbola and Boria.
Because st. Barbara is generally be-
lieved to have been carried to heaven
by angels. she has been adopted by the
flyers of France the patron saint of
airships. Children have been told she
has great influence over the skies. and
in Catholic countries they pray to her
during thunderstorms. European ar
tillerists have also adopted her as their
patron saint and she has been pictured
surrounded by cannon.
Barbara has not been a popular name
with royalty. Barbara Villiers, who was
created Lady Castlemaine and Duchess
of Cleveland. was great favorite with
Charles ii Of England. She was the
mother of the Dukes of Cleveland, Graf
ton and Northumberland. She was an
imperious beauty of dazzling charms
and exceedingly scornful in her atti-
tude toward others. The king saw to
it that she received funds. which made
her very wealthy even into her old age.
Barbara is the name of the little
slavey of Dickens sold Curiosity
Shop" and Lady Babbie is the young
heroine OF Sir James Barrie's Little
Minister r.. ..-..-..---.-.s
