NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

GERALDINE. musical 30 listen to
" and daintily feminine in idea. is
An ideal name for a girl 1t is the
feminine version of Gerald. from the
ancient Latin Cicrardus. Geraldine
means the fair" All forms of the
name arc equally attractive. The
modern Italians use Giralda, the Ger
mans use Gerhardine. the Spanish.
Gcralda or Geraldita, and tho French,
English and Americans use Geraldine.
The old German was Geirhilda and
Dina and Gorilla are forms of this
name
The motto given for Geraldine is
justice shall he done to thee" and
her flower is sweet scented tussilagC
This flower. under this attractive
name. is not we'll known in the United
States. Tho popular name here is
coltsfoot. 1t has small yellow bios
SONS.
The famous Geraldine the Fair OF
song and story WAS really named
Elizabeth Fitzgerald. She was the
daughter of tho Earl of kildare. The
clan admired her very much and
called her Lady Geraldine. The songs
and Sonnets which have made her fa-
nous were written by Henry Howard
the Earl of Surrey. She was born at
Maynooth. Ireland, in 1928 and died
in 1889. She was only fifteen years
old when she married Sir Anthony
Brown, who died in 154S. She then
married Edward Fiennes de Clinton,
Earl of Lincoln. four years after her
first husbands death.
Geraldine has always been ia
vorite name for English girls and has
! been very popular for the name of
beautiful heroines of extremely senti-
mental novels, such as the type writ
ten by Laura Jean Libbey. At present,
however, it is not used very much as
name for American girls. because It
is considered too fancy"
Geraldine Farrar is probably the
one internationally known Geraldine
of the present day. She has been very
popular both as an opera star and as
an actress of the stage and screen.
Her friends all call her by the nick
name of Jerry.

The important part played in our
daily life by radio was forcibly i'm
pressed upon the public men. follow
ing the death OF President Harding.
a majority of the broadcasting sta
tions throughout the country closed
down for varying periods as a mark
of respect.
The almost complete cessation of
broadcasting brought home as could
nothing else the important niche
in our daily routine in the past two
years. People in all walks of life
commented upon the zap in their
evenings. which they found hard to
fill. and while practically all agreed
that il was hut fitting that the
br"adcasting of entertainment should
temporarily halt while the country
sorrnwed. probably nothing else con-
nected with the final honoring of our
dead President made as deep an i'm
preston.
In the death Of President Harding.

of the first officials of the govern
ment to turn radio fan. when. follow
ing the first radio conference In 1922.
the attention OF the country was
turned toward the, new method of
entertainment. The set built for his
use in the White House was the last
word in reception. but, while he liked
to play" with IT. he had but little
found himself for long time unabl
to cope with the interference which
prevailed when there was but one
wave length for broadcasting.
Tn many ways the late President
evinred his interest in radio. He
gladly accepted the invitation ex-
tended to him by the National Press
club of Washington to attend the eS-
eT"ises incident TO the christening
OF its receiving set. and while the
music and speeches. which were to
have been broadcasted from a near
by government station especially for
the occasion failed to come through"
the President stuck around" like the
good fellow" he always was. chatted
with the members OF the ciub---whtch
gave them little talk on the dlffi-
culttes of being President. which gave
them much inside dope on the great
task which confronts the nations
Executive from day to day.
While the failure OF Congress to
pass the White radio bill kept radio
from becoming an official subject of
consideration at the White House, Mr..
Harding frequently expressed his in
terest i'll the matter and the hope that
legislation could be enacted to elimi-
nate interference. give the amateurs
the privileges they desired and which
he thought they were entitled to. and
put radio on a concrete foundation.
President Harding was radios
friend. and the silencfng OF the broad
but a fitting mark Of respect TO a
man who laid down his life for his
country as surely as II he had died
on the field Of battle. No finer trib-
ute could have been paid than the
quiet while the country ceased its
activities and q hundred million peo.

Rirds Cnuse Problem.

A flock OF swallows that perched on
the antenna OF the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Company's radio
station, WCAP, and seriously inter-
fered with q concert 1t was broadcast
ing Tuesday night has given radio
engineers a new problem to solve.
The antenna, a most essential part
of radio broadcaSting equipment. has
got to be protected from the, nocks
OF migratory birds that may at any
time select the wires high above the
buildings as a roost. The experience
of the radio engineers at WCAP Tues
day night taught them that the An
tenna, exposed to the birds. may re-
suit in serious damage TO the costly
vacuum tubes and other apparatus.
The flock Of swallows that alighted
on the telephone company's broad
cast aerial in the midst of the concert.
not only changed the wave length
from 469 to 479 meters, but increased
the splate current SO greatly that the
tubes began to get hot and the radio
engineers We're fearful that they
would burn out. The experience is
believed to be new in the history of
radio. The explanation Is that the
size of the antenna was increased by
the birds bodies, this increasing the
wave. length and causing greater cur
rent to f1ow.

Types OF Csndensers.

Types Of Csndensers.
Capacity and inductance play an
, important part in the radio set. Ca
pacity Is best secured by means of
either a ffxed or a variable condenser.
The fixed condenser means that the
capacity is fixed, while the variable
condenser means that the capacity
is variable. The latter type costs a
the radio set because the capacity
! may be changed. thus giving the
maximum strength to the received
bToadcAsting.
Usually a fixed condenser is not
extremely accurate. especially the
paper kind. 4 slight squeeze Of the
fingers on condenser of this sort
will make big change in the ca
pacity. condenser is prima rily
some sort of a series of conducting
surfaces, either arranged so that they
cannot be moved or so that one-half
of them can be moved.
, The best ones contain mica for the
dielectric.. as It is good insulator
, and Is OF uniform thickness. Paper
condensers will change with the
weather and are not as reliable as
the variable condenscrs. If the
dieiectric in paper condenser be-
be of no further use. and damage
may result to the rest OF the set.
First Lady Radio Fan.

OF the land. is an ardent radio fan.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

How can an aerial be protected
from the birds? This is the perplex-
ing question that the radio engineers
have to conquer in order TO pre-
clude a recurrence Of the potential
serious trouble that confronted WCAP
before the tribe of feathered fans was
shaken from the aerial wires.
Cage In the antenna is the answer
of some. But this would be difficult.
say radio experts. because anything
placed near the aerial wires will alb
sorb some of the transmitting power.
Nevertheless, the radio engineers
are working on the problem and hope
TO find Il solution in the very near
future.
