that the energy picked up by a loop
antenna only approaches that of an
outdoor antenna when the physical
dimensions of the loop antenna ap-
proaeh those OF the outdoor antenna.
Don't wind a hundred feet of wire on
a Mothers Oats" box and expect a
loop antenna so constructed to give
the same signal strength as the same
hundred feet of wire stretched out
side as a slngle-wire outdoor antenna.
The two advantages of a loop an
tenna. then, are its small physical d.
mansions and its d%irectIonal proper
ties. The most serious disadvantage
Of the loop antenna Is the small
amount of energy picked up. IL loop
nntenna is used for the reception of
close, high.powered stations. ordinary
regenerative receivers with audio-fre-
quency ampllfers will give good re-
suits. However. If a long-distance re-
ception Of medium and low power
transmitting stations Is desired, then
radio-frequency application must be
used.

Though a loop entenna OF larger

here will give good results for its size,
and Is small enough to be easily trans
ported. The material required for the

Two strips of wood. ~ feet long by

WINTER IS Time
TO vARNISH CAR
Much Pleasure Given to Owner
II His Automobile Has Good
Outward Appearance.
MINOR DEFECTS NOT VISIBLE
Necessary That All Parts to Be Paint
ed Should Be Thoroughly Washed
and Sandpapered-keep in
Fairly Warm Room.

Half the enjoyment of owning a car
comes from the fact that 1t has a good
appearance. 1t may run well and ride
very comfortably, but 1t Is an eyesore
and q heart-break II 1t looks dirty,
paint is cracked or varnish Is dull and
lusterless. How different the car which
shines In the splendor of a perfect coat
Of paint and varnish, ever IL there are
minor defects, known only to the own
er or the expert.
1t takes time to do a good job of re-
moving paint and varnish on an auto
mobile, and the new coat should have
plenty of time TO dry and harden. For
this reason a good time to do this work
Is in winter, especially in those cases
where cars are put In the garage and
laid up for the winter. The owner will
then be ready to drive out in good
style on the first nice spring day.
II the owner Is not so particular
about an exceptionally high class job
of painting, he can clean the car thor
oughly and paint ii himself at much
less expense than he can hire 1t done.
Two Things Necessary.
Two of the things necessary In max
ing a smooth-looking paint job are the
following:
First-All parts TO be painted must
be thoroughly washed and then
smoothed off by sandpaper or steel
wool, and all of the dust brushed or
rubbed off.
Secoad-The car must be placed in
a fairly warm room where there is no
dust, as a little dust on the paint be-
fore 1t is dry will spoil the looks OF
any paint job.
II the paint is not worn of, but Is
merely somewhat checked and dulled,
1t may be preserved by applying a coat
of good varnlsh, making sure that the
car is first thoroughly washed. dried
and then smoothed of with fine sand
paper. II the paint has worn entirely
through In spots and the metal parts
are beginning to rust, the only way to
preserve these parts and keep them
from becoming spoiled entirely Is to
have the car thoroughly cleaned and
painted.

No More Attractive Field in the World Today
for Woman Than Politics


Go in for politics, make a career of it as you would of art or music.
The opportunities are boundless The United States has had only two
women congressmen-and has elected the third. The field of diplomacy has
only just been opened up by the appointment of the first woman to a place
in IN American embassy.
There is no more attractive field in the world today for a woman than
politics. She needs only one inyestment-her desire to be OF service. And
her rturns-in prestige, in influence, in the knowledge of service rendered
are enormous.
A woman must train herself for politics just as thoroughly Is she
would for my other career. And she must work from the bottom up This
means doing the most mental things that come to her hand | should say
TO he young woman who is contemplating a political career, first take a
course in elementary law. Study cyies. Know all about your municipal,
county, state and federal government and the persons taking part IN 1t.
Then run for the lowl@t Office there is. And from here-if you
have demonstrated your ftness-the line runs straight to the highest posi-
ton YOU are qualified to take.

Keep Down Rust.

In case the paint on the car is fairly
good. but rusty spots show In various
places, then by touching these up with
new paint of the same color you will
find the looks of the car greatly I'M
proved and further rusting prevented
at the expense of very little time and
money.
The top and side curtains should also
be taken care of at this time. First
clean the top thoroughly. Soap and
water is probably as good as anything.
Then, after the top is thoroughly dry,
give it a coat of good top dressing,
which can be bought at any accessory
store, and this will not only preserve
the top and help to keep 1t from leak
ing, but WILL greatly improve Its gen.
eral appearance. If the top Is sag
ging, the best way to remedy this Is to
first loosen the front part Of the top
from the windshield and then tighten
the straps at the back slightly. Then,
when the front part is pulled back into
place again, most of the sagging will
be removed In case the right ADJUST
ment on the rear straps has been
made.
IL the celluloid windows are broken,
probably the best proposition will be
to get new ones, but IL there Is just q
small break In a window, this can usu-
| ally be.mended by means of some sheet
! cellulofd anA cellrelid cement.

Our Railways Should Rapidly Improve and
Expand Their Properties
BY C. H. MARKHAM, President Illinois Central.

Clearly. it is essential to the welfare of the country that the railways
should, as rapidly as practicable, put their existing facilities IN g0od con,
dtion and that they should for some years rapidly improve and expand
their properties. The only thing which ever will enable and cause the
railways to carry out a sufficient program of expansion will be to let
them earn sufficient net return to raise the new capital required o mat
purpose.
It is plain 10 ever nan who thinks that the wages labor can be
paid, the income the farmer can get, the profits that can be derived from
business, depend in the long run upon the total amount oil production and
commercet that can be carried on. II the necessities, comforts III Injuries
each Of our people has arc to be increased, we must increase on tota pro-
dudion and commerce more rapidly than our population. We have always
done this in America.
But nothing could be more obvious than that the increase IN produc-
ton and commerce which is vital TO the welfare o. all canho' pe eeui'u

Grant on Rampage;
Upsets an Election.

An interesting election question
arose at Burton yesterday when it was
found that Grant river had arisen to
a point to prevent residents of Water
loo township living north of the
stream from reaching the polling
place in Burton, south of the river.
The crossing of the stream is made
by bridge 242 feet long with lengthy
approaches on each side. These APP
proaches are under water.
The town chairman, town clerk and
numerous voters in the township re-
side north of the river. By an act of
nature they were prevented from
casting their ballots.
County officials were unable to rule
as to a method Of holding an election
in a case of this kind. 1t might be
legal to declare the election off, and
later to hold special election by
petition 1t might be legal to hold an
election in two places where the cir
cumstances prevent holding an cleo
ton in the regular place. In any
event an interesting question appar-
emily not foreseen by the legislators
has arisen.

Eastman a Winner
Over Austin By 43
Votes; Battle Bitter

With the biggest vote in the history
Of the second ward Of Lancaster, Lee
D. Eastman, County Chairman and a
candidate for reelection as superyis-
or, "loped home" with 43 majority
when the last vote was counted. The
final tally stood: L. D. Eastman, 191;
Reuben A. Austin, 14S. Total vote, 339.
The struggle was bitter and the re-
suit surprise. All day long workers
had been summoning every possible
vote and even the crippled, infrm, all
ing and blind were brought to the
polls. Watchers stood checking every
voter and reporting to workers out
side.
The Eastman side was almost ready
to concede the election Of Austin early
in the day stating that at least it
looked very dubious for their candi-
date. Later the tide turned and the
Eastman side swept on to victory.
With no other contests in the city
the vote for all other Lancaster wards
combined was less than that cast in
the second ward.

MARCH WAS A MONTH
OF LOW TEMPERATURES

March, 1928, was a month of low
temperatures. The mean tempera-
ture for the month was % degrees
compared to mean, or average, of 81
degrees in 1922. The normal mean for
March is "a degrees above Fahren-
heit. The low of last month was
equalled but three times in the past
4S years-in 1875, 1890 and 1891.
1877 had a monthly mean Of q above
which is the low record.
The precipitation for the month
was 3.93 inches of water or 20.S
inches Of snow. The excess precipi-
tation for the month was 70 inches
Below zero temperatures were ex-
perienced on March IS, one below
and March 10, Z below. The high
temperatures during the month were
GO above on the 1st and Sc above on
the I'd. The temperature dropped
during the remainder of the month
with the thermometer going below
frost on all but the first three days.
The total wind movement for the
month was $3.50 miles The prevail
ing direction Of the wind was N. W.,
and the maximum force 20 miles an
hour on the 18th. This does not miss
far the Herald's guess Of a "30-mile"
gale on the 18th.
Nine days were clear, five partly
cloudy and II cloudy. On eleven
days snow fell.

have been laid and the seats rear
ranged for more room and comfort.
The walls have been repapered in
oatmeal finish with light side and
the ceiling is set off with beaver
board New lighting fixtures and
electric wiring in conduit obtains
throughout. Perhaps the biggest i'm
proyement is a new machine giving a

Roads Still Blocked
By Enormous Drifts

A conclusion that most of the snow
was gone from the country roads
around Lancaster was disproven Sun
day when trip was made each direc-
ton as far as travel would allow. On
the asylum road drifts begin at the
top of So. Pigeon hill and continue
clear to the north and south road in
front of the asylum. The road "tun-
nels" through a solid drift that varies
from three to five feet in depth.
"Turn-outs" have been established at
intervals so that vehicles can pass.
The bulk of the road is deep rut
with high snow banks on each side.
This on a macadam road with two
clay side roads in ordinary times cap
able of carrying four cars abreast!
The Beetown road is still iblockad-
ed, travel seeking the fields in many
places. At the Rhodes school deep
drifts impede travel and force ira
verse into the fields.
The FennimOre road was broken
through Saturday by Ford car. This
was the first car over the road to
Fennimore for three weeks. Deep
factory to the turn north beyond the
Mccoy farm and doubtless continue
all the way to Fennimore.
In general the big storm caused
deep drifting on the east and west
roads but left the north and south
roads practically bare. Tbs condition
is just the reverse of the storm few
weeks previous. Now, two weeks af-
ter the blizzard of March IS, the roads
are becoming barely passable.
This will probably establish a
record for snow blockades in this
county.

Methodist Easter
Services Notable

The Easter cantata, "The Dawn Of
the Kingdom" which was given on
Easter Sunday morning, was most
enjoyable musical treat, which will be
long remembered, by those who were
privileged to hear it. 1t was impos-
sible to seat all the people who came,
some having to be accommodated in
the chapel.
The inspirational solos, and the
triumphant choruses, were exceeding
ly well rendered, and reflected great
credit on the members Of the choir.
Mark Hoskins, as director, is to be
commended on his leadership, and for
his excellent Interpretation of the
music.
Miss Woodhouse at the organ de-
serves great credit for her rendering
of the difficult music, especially that
of the interludes. At this service the
first number of the parish paper in
which the program and words of the
Cantata were printed was distributed.
The evening service also was almost
beyond our expectations. The music
by the Junior choir and the male
quartette was very we'll sung.
Our greatest rejoicing of course
was in the reception service for the
new members. Eleven were received
by letter of transfer and twenty-five
from preparation classes; making a
total of thirty-fOur persons received.
We give our thanks to the decorat-
ing committee and all others who
contributed to the signal success OF
these Easter services.
