At the Studios.

EAU UAAC 0OuuOSs
We were among the guests
most Of them from the newspaper
worldwide heard the cross.countI'y
conversation at the new WCAI'
studio in the Homer building.
Although not to be opened Off
cially until Thursday night, the
studios were fully furnished and
decorated and the lounging was far
more comfortable than that in our
easy chair at home. Stuart Hayes,
always the delightful host, passed
the cigars and cigarettes. One of
the most interested of the listeners
was Commander Paul j. McGahan
Of the District Department of the
American Legion. Perhaps he held
q vision of a national meeting of
his organization by radio.
The most interesting bit Of infor.
nation that we picked up at WCAP
was that Wendell Hall, he Of the
read hair and the ukelele, probably
will be present in person at the
opening Thursday night Of the
studio.
Earlier in the evening we looked
in at the Park Road home Of WRC
and listened first hand to the CON
cert by the Little Symphony Or
chestra and the Jazz Orchestra Of
the Marine Band.
There was quite a gathering at
the studio and the doors to the
waiting room were thrown open
that all might both see and hear.
Among the visitors there was Art
Conrad, song writer of Tin Pan
Alley" and producer of New York a
only two radio revues which re.
Gently were broadcast from WY.
Also AL Stern, director of the Wash.
ington. Radio Show which will be
opened in Convention Hall in March.
Bruce Lum, busy as usual at
microphone and telephone, paused
long enough in his work to let us
tell him how very much we have
been enjoying the excellent pro.
grams from WRC. Later he Joined
us at the WCAP party.

The word universally" takes on
a new meaning after hearing the
transcontinental and international
conversation of last night.
Meditation" an appropriate
theme-was played in Havana.
Home, Sweet Home" was played
in San Francisco. Both selections
were applauded in Chicago. And
the whole affair-music and ap-
plause-was audible in every corner
of North America and the outlying
islands.
The demonstration will become an
event In the progress of radio and
wire telephony as the novelty be-
comes commonplace.
But what are we to think who
sat as one Of the millions With
ears attuned to this almost inoredi-
BILE show of space obliteration.
Perhaps that Tennyson was not
such a mad dreamer after all and
that the day may come, rs GEO. j.
j. Carthy, vice president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company declared in his Chicago
speech last night, when one voice
will speak to every inhabitant of

Key West has unlocked the
Golden Gate. What next?
One Of the most amazing features
of the demonstration last night was
the elimination of delay in the con.

Of the replies were loud and clear,

Terms for Killing Aged
Michigan RecIue


ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Dec. 1.-THE
Michigan reformatory at Ionia today
housed three boys, two Of them six
teen and third seventeen, whom a
jury has branded as murderers.
The trio was found guilty Of slay-
ing Henry Gerling, eighty-one, a re-
cluse, to gain a gun owned by the
old man. The murder occurred
March 81, 1921, when none Of the
boys was out of short trousers.
Leon Long, sixteen; Alvin Keller,
sixteen; and Rheinold Trechle, sew
enteen, are the boys who today be-
gan serving terms of five to fifteen
years in Ionia.
"Old Man Gerling." as he was
known to the villagers, was found
dead two weeks after the boys had
broken into the home. He was tied
to the bed, his skull fractured. On
9. pail box were written the words:
Unite Henry Gerling. April fool"
1t Is believed the boys, frightened
at their act, wrote the words in
hope passersby might enter the
house and release him before he died.
In a shed sometimes used as a
playhouse by the three boys a piece
of chalk similar to that with which
the writing had been done was
found.
The boys confessed.

pieces win go as Christmas pres

No figures were available for the
country, but experts predicted $780,
100000 in gold coins would find
their way to Santa Claus stock
ings.
For the first time in several
years the treasury has made avail
able a large supply of $3.50 gold
pieces for the holiday season.
Last year few were issued.
While not discouraging the use OF
the $3.50 piece the government has
ceased its coinage believing that az
a monetary unit 1t is useless.
Economic experts at the treasury
and department of commerce de-
clared that business conditions
throughout not only the United
States but the world, are the best
since the war. Reports indicate
much heavier bank deposits than
at any time since 1919, greater pro-
duction Of industry and a material.

How Sea LeueI IL Made

All elevations determined by the
United States geological survey and
the United States coast and ge0detic
survey are referred to as mean sea
level, which Is the level that the sea
would assume II the influence Of winds
and tides were eliminated. This level
is not the elevation determined from
the mean Of the highest and lowest
tides, nor is 1t the half sum Of the
mean Of all the high tides and the
mean of all the low tides which Is
called the half-tide level. Mean sea
level is the average height Of the wa
ter, all stages Of the tide being con-
sidered. It is determined from obser-
vations made by means Of tidal gauges
placed at stations where local cOndi-
lions, such as long, narrow bays, rivers
and like features, will not affect the
height Of water. To obtain even ap-
proximately correct results these OBJ
servatIons must extend over at least
one lunar month, and If accuracy Is
desired they must extend over several
wears. At ocean stations the half-tide
level and the mean sea level usually
differ but little. 1t Is assumed that
there Is no difference between the
mean sea level as determined from
observations In the Atlantic ocean, the
Gulf of Mexico or the Pacific ocean.

prince. II am not good enough for
her. She said So"
Peasant girl indeedl" said the
queen. "She would marry you soon
enough II we should permit such a
thing" Then. because she was a wom-
an, the queen wanted to know what
was lacking In her son that this girl
did not think him good enough for her
husband.
"She said that even though l had
servants to do the work / ought to
know how II should be done, that
good master must know how to rule
his servants. and that did not know
anything at ALL" the prince replied.
"She has some sense" said the king.
THAT sounds sensible, and I should
like to know why II Is that you don't
know how to do somethingl A son Of
mine ought to be able to do anything.
You don't take after my family or you
would be able to pillow a field"
"Indeedi" answered the queen, grow
Ing angry. "If he took after my FAM
ly he would be able to do everything.
1t is yours, sire, he resembles, and not
mine. Can you make harness, son,
or not?"
"Of course l can't" replied the
prince. 81 don't know how to do any
thing. No one has ever taught me. I
am not good enough to be the husband
of the peasant girl"
"a son of mine should be fitted TO
become the husband of any one" cried
the king. go to work and learn how
to do all these things"
1t did not take the prince long to
learn, and one day he proudly showed
to the king and queen harness he had
made. and then one day he asked them
to look at a field he had plowed.
1--WE will find the peasant girl now"
said the queen. who had not forgotten
she had spurned her son for husband.
"We will show her our son can do any
thing her people can do"
so they found Nita and showed her
the harness and the field the prince
had plowed. and the praise which
Mia gave the prince for his work quite
won the hearts of the king and queen.
When they found that their son
was ready to give up the kingdom to
marry Nita. the king said that the
kingdom needed people with good
sense to rule 1t, and now that his son
had become such a good and sensible
Taf-in
cess quite as sensible, and he for one
gave his consent to the marriage.
The queen, not to be outdone, gave
hers, and that night the merry-making
in honor of the wedding Of the prince
and the peasant girl made the welkin
ring.

How Do Sponges Eat?

Fisheries experts and scientists nave
been unable to ascertain accurately
how sponges feed. An ordinary sponge
will grow from one to one and one
half inches or more a year. The por-
ton of the sponge with which we are
familiar is the skeleton or framework
of the sea product as it exists IN the
briny deep. The Shiny, gelatinous SUD
stance is decomposed by wind, weath-
or and sunshine and subsequent soak
ing in sea water cures out any gel
