POWER FOR RADIO COSTS
8 CENTS PER PROGRAM

The cost of electricity used in send
ing out a 40-minute broacast from
VIVA, University of Wisconsin Radio
station, is only about cents, accord
ing to estimates recently made by
men in charge of the station. This
almost negligible cost does not in
clude, of course, depreciation of APP
paratus, but merely the cost of cleo
-tricstl power.
That several thousand persons thus
receive the entire educational pro-
gram sent out by the university three
times each week at less than the cost
of mailing two letters, is estimated
flom the number of letters sent to the
station from persons in Wisconsin
and in other states, who report hear
ing WF1A The broadcast programs
are prepared by Prof. w. II. Lightly,
of the Extension division.

EXPLAINS HOW TO
READ WEATHER MAPS
Marks and Lines Made Intel
Ligibie by Experts.

shington.-Almost everyone is ia
mlliar with the large weather maps To-
Gated in public places, such as rail-
way stations, post offices, or govern
ment buildings. The weather bureau
of the United States Department of
Agriculture issues a printed explana-
ton Of the weather map, telling in
detail what the various marks and
lines mean, and how the map is read.
The daily weather reports consist of
observations of the barometer and
thermometer, the velocity and direc-
ton of the wind, state of the weather.
and amount Of rain or snow. On the
weather maps solid lines, called iso-
bars, are drawn through points that
have the same atmospheric pressure.
Dotted lines called isotherms are
drawn through points hat have the
same temperature. The direction Of
the wind at each station is indicated
by an arrow which flies with the
wind Shaded areas are sometimes
used to show areas Of r. nfall or snow
fall Tabular data gives other details.
The centers of areas of low baro-
metric pressure are indicated on the
map by the word 'Iow" and the CEN
tiers of areas Of high barometric pres
sure by the word high"
In the porthern hemisphere winds
blow spirally inward, counterclockwise,.
toward and around the center of
low, while from the center of a high
they blow spirally outward as the
hands of clock move. These facts
influence the direction from which
prevailing winds at any point are
blowing. There are rather well-de-
fined storm tracks which may be
traced on weather map, and very
definite indications Of the character
of approaching weather changes, which
may be found on the weather charts.
Topography and the location Of land
and water areas with regard to the
place where the observer happens to
be are, Of course, important factors in
weather changes.

nAUNT JENNA"
VICTIM Of AUTO
Colored Nanny Of Pancake
Fame Crushed to Death in
Chicago; Born in Kentucky.

Chicago.-PancalSe season is here,
but In some Chicago households the
sizzling of the griddle viii bring mem
cries tinged with sadness.
"Aunt Jemima' is dead. The aged
negro woman whose ability to make
"fapjacks" was capitalized by miEers,
whose bandanna-wreathed smile forms
a mental picture for thousands of low
ers Of "a plate of wheats" and whose
skill with the pancake turner fur
pished amusement for and drew the
envy Of those who have attended ex-
positions and fairs ever since the Chi
cago Worlds fair of 1893, fell vic

Her death marks the passing Of an
interesting character who will be
mourned not only by the negro race
but by numerous wealthy Chicago fam
lilies as well. For Mrs Nancy Green
will live longest in memory as Aunt
Jemima"

Aunt Jemima' was born In Mont
gomery county, Ky, in 1884 and came
to Chicago as a nurse for the Walker
family She nursed and made pan
cakes for the late Circuit Judge
Charles NJ Walker. chief justice of
the Municipal court. and his brother,
Dr.. Samuel Walker, now a leading
North side physician, when they were
boys. They spread her fame among
their boy chums, and before long
"Aunt Terminals pancakes became a
common phrase in Chicago when good
things to eat were discussed.
A milling concern heard of her.

and induced her to make pancakes at
the Worlds fair. After that she went

that could be made We're put forward,

No Economy

'There is only one thing to do and
that is to economic" said Mrs. Long
slayer to Mrs. Boredawful. Now that
the war has been an excuse for ad-
vancing the prices on everything we
will have to practice rigid economy
In all things and especially in sugar,
sirups and toothpicks and clay pipes
and watchS crystals"

do much economizing, sighed Mrs.
lBoredawful. at won't work in our
household. never can remember
what is high and what isn't and i
suppose that there will be some low
priced things. Products that this To-
cality has for sale will be cheap, OF
course, while things grown in other
sections will be expensive.
II shall have to keep a list and if
do keep such list / can't let my
husband see it. He would immediate
ly be seized with repulsion for the
cheap things and at the same time
conceive a violent affinity for the
high-priced articles.
II share that popularity of my hus-
bands. hate anything that is cheap.
| have often noticed it. Ii | am eat
ing a carrot and suddenly find it dis
tasteful / know instantly that carrots
must be getting cheap. When / look
up the market column in the news
paper. sure enough, l see that carrots
are 30 cents barrel. Yes, it always
works that way.
ION the other hand, if begin to
long for carrots and must have them
and if my husband and I eat them all
I'D and sigh for more then l know that
they are high-priced and glancing at
the paper / see my fears confirmed.
Carrots are selling at 81 barrel.
There are many other people like
US. If the war advances the price of
candies then inevitably candy at SIS
a pound will be worth staying home
from the theater for.
"And toothpicks and clay pipes-I
never did use clay pipe or tooth
picks, but since you have mentioned
them begin to feel that I will have
to have clay pipe.
''This .highness of price is the only
thing that makes some things worth
while. No one would eat olives if
they were not a luxury. And caviari
II caviar were cheap it would not be
available even for hog fat. If it goes
still higher we must have it at any
price. 1t comes very near being de-
testable at its present figures and GER
tainly it can't stand cheapening at
all"
Seeing that there wasn't going to
be much chance to do the talking,
Mrs. Longstayer departed sadly.
