reached the capital, DR.. Miethe has
discovered a secret which dealers in
black magic sought in vain for ages.
He has apparently found out how
to make gold from mercury by sub
hitting mercury to an intense heat
generated in vapor lamps. Both the
London Morning Post and The
Spectator, ultra conservative British
papers, are agreed that the long
sought-for transmutation of the
elements has been solved.
Scientists also seem agreed that the
process of reducing mercury to gold
and helium or hydrogen can be
cheapened by using the newly dis
covered electrical furnace of Prof.
Lohmann, which generates over
1000 degrees Fahrenheit. and steps
are now being taken to put this to
the test.
Should the experiment succeed"
says The Morning Post" the result
would be cataclysmic for the whole
of human society, since the posi-
bility Of limitles quantities of gold
at a negligible fraction Of the pres
ent current value would destroy all
the bases on which modern monetary
systems rest"
Suppose a month hence the an
nouncement comes from Berlin that
the experiment is a success and that
a "gold factory equipped like a
Ford automobile plant or United
States Steel plant for quantity pro-
duction, would be built at once.
The effect of the world war on
international finances would be as
nothing compared to the chaos which
would grip our civilization.
Business the world over would
come to an instant standstill and
not another wheel would turn until
sorae new standard could be found
and new means Of doing business
invented.

NEW YORK, Aug linen with

dance floors in the popular late-at-
night supper clubs.
They are the consistent habitues
OF the intimate clubs that cater to
the night-life throng. Young men
cannot stand the financial strain Of
this expensive entertainment. Only
men of age and years OF struggling
to attain the pocket full OF big bills
can peer at the mornings check

higher charge for charged water
with an air OF unconcern.
The nearest these youthless men
come TO activity is keeping an alert
eye on the young, frivolous girl who
accompany them.
When the orchestra starts playing
few ambitious couples arise for the
struggle. That's where the old men
hide bunions, gimpy legs, rheumatic
muscles and corpulent bellies behind
an abbreviated dance floor
They complain that there is not
enough room to dance and their
colorful companions agree After

Split skirts are appearing along

Bulky knots of rolled silken hose

was split to the knee. What a shock

The new style skirt, however, is
much shorter and the split is only d

RADIO IS
A GRO WING
LNDUSTRY
Business MuItipIieS Thirty
Five Times in Three
Years.
BY ISRAEL KLEIN,
NEA Service Radio Editor


EU1 THIN three years radio has
WI increased thirty-fve-fold in
G value!
Such is a sample of the remark
able growth Of this industry.
Yet it is still in it's swaddling
clothes.
While inventors are searching for
means to develop this science toward
even a semblance of maturity and
stability, the industry based on their
ingenuity is progressing far ahead
Of them. 1t is a phenomenon that
has never been equaled in CONNER
cial history, not even in the automo-
tive field.
Three years ago, just about the
time wireless biography was becom-
ing popular as radio, production of
radio apparatus and wireless tele-
graph supplies amounted to less
than $10,0000 900 for the entire wear
Of 1921 and was only about half that
at the beginning Of that year. This
year Roger w. Babson, famous eco
nomist. estimates sales of radio sets
and parts will amount of $3.50 900 .
| 000i
That's a conservative estimate he
says.
He doesn't take into account.
either the money spent by broad.
casters and other large corporations
for concert experimental work that
is being pushed ahead in this field.
| Other Items
He doesn't figure maintenance and
overhead and the many other items
which, If combined with the sales
and other expenditures, would make
this almost billion dollar industry
even today.
1t is in considering the sales fig.
ures. however, that Babson can com.
pare radio with the other large in.
dustries in the United States. Thus
he finds that radio has already en-.
tered the category of the elite
among industries. 1t is one Of the
thirty.five greatest businesses in the
country, along with furniture.
leather, chemicals, sugar refining
and other important industries.
In a review of this new business
in Radio News, Babson points out
that the value Of the radio business
is nearly twice as great as the car.
pet and rug business, and Of sport.
ing goods. And It is nearly three
fourths of the jewelry business. in
Guiding clocks. watches and novel
ties.
Other figures show the same devel-
opment. Production of radio tubes
in 1921 was little over 100000. To.
day it is far into the millions. One
laboratory alone, Of big radio manu-
featuring corporation, turns out from
1900 to 1900 vacuum tubes a day
Growing Popularity
Broadcasting had Just about start
ed in 1921, with only dozen or more
stations on the air. Now between
SOD and 600 broadcasters are filing
the air nightly and causing such
congestion that there is talk Of lin
iting broadcasting in the future.
Three million homes today have
radio receiving sets-practically all
converts since 1920 or 1921 At that
time practically all who tinkered
with radio were classed as amateurs.
Today there are many times more

Leda, the beautiful wife of lynda
rus. king of Sparta.
Juno, queen Of the gods, kept a
watchful eye on Jupiter. You will
| remember that when she discovered
Jupiter's love for Callisto, she
changed that unfortunate nymph
into bear.
! So Jupiter disguised himself as a
swan when he went to WOO Leda.
| Subsequently. as remembrance
of Leda, he placed the constellation
Of the swan in the sky.
y According to another version, the
constellation represents Cycnus,a a
cousin to Phaeton. It is thought
that originally the name of the con-
stellation was Cycnus and not Cy-
gnus.
Phaeton was the son Of the sun
god Apollo and the nymph Clymene.
But other mortals scoffed at Phae-
ton when he claimed that he was the
son of a god.
He complained of this to his
mother and she told him to go TO
/ Apollo and ask for himself if he
had not been correctly informed Of
his parentage.
Arrives at Palace
So Phaeton started East for the
regions of the sunrise and finally ar
rived at the palace OF the sun.
From a distance. he saw Apollo
seated on a throne With the beams
Of the sun shining around his head.
The throne was covered with spar
king diamonds.
The light Of the beams around
Apollo's head were so bright that
Phaeton could approach no closer.
But Apollo called to him and asked
him what he wanted.
"Oh light of the boundless world,
| Apollo, my father-if thou dost
yield me that name-give me some
proof, I beseech thee, by which
may be known as thine" the young
man cried out.
Apollo said that he would grant
the youth any wish he would name
as a proof. So the youth asked to
be allowed to drive the chariot Of
the sun through the sky for one day.
Apollo repented at once. None
but myself he said, may drive the
| flaming car of day. The first part
of the way is steep and such as the
horses when fresh in the morning
| 4 oil h lao 1,afadla fes hicrf1
up in the heavens, whence I myself
can scarcely, without alarm, look
own and behold the earth and sea
stretched beneath me. The last part
of the road descends rapidly and
requires most careful driving"
But Phaeton insisted and Apollo
finally yielded.
Lost His Nerve
However, when the chariot of the
sun was high above the earth,
Phaeton lost his nerve, and betom.
ing dizzy, dropped the reins The
horses ran away and leaving the
proper path descended too near to
earth.
Parts of the earth were burned
up. That is why we have deserts
to this day.
Jupiter saw that something had
to be done. so be hurled a thunder
bolt, killing Phaeton and knocking
the unfortunate. youths body into
the river Eridanus.
His sisters, as they mourned his
death beside the river, were turned
into poplar trees on the bank.
Cycnus, cousin of Phaeton, con-
tinued to mourn and to search for
the body in the river.
So the gods turned Cycnus into a
swan. And that is whyath swan
always sails about in pensive man
ner and often thrusts his head
beneath the surface of the water.
Then later Jupiter placed Cycnus
in the heavens where we now see
the constellation of Cygnus, the
swan.

How is the center of population
Of the United States found?
A large map Of the United States
is pasted on a thin stiff board. All
but the outline is cut away, and the
board is cut to coincide with this.
The map is then balanced on
pivot. Small weights representing
certain units of the population arc
placed on the map according to the
Census over the spots where they
reside. and the pivot moved from
time TO tirae so that the balance is
not disturbed. The spot above the
pivot. when all the weights have
been put in place, is the center of
population.
