You should surely make a visit

That the climate there is fine
But if by chance you cannot go
A climbing in the rocks,
You can buy the same complexion, dear
At thirty cents box.

BRAINS

We Americans are described as
"the best half-educated people in
the world" by Israel Zangwill, DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
University says Zangwill flatters rs
that his estimate is too high.
Butler is right Even our brain
lest men do not know more than a
thousandth Of 1 per cent of the,
Truth Education is simply a process
of extending our misunderstanding
the gigantic extent OF. what we do
not know. Man learns little, in
reality. He merely increases his
conception or consciousness of his
ignorance.

SUCCESS In RADIO
Assistant Secretary Davis Tells Of
Set Carried on Backs Of
: Horses on Field Trips.

Dwight F. Davis. assistant secre-
tary of war. in a speech broadcast
last night by station WcAP. urged all
radio enthusiasts who attended Wash
ington's annual radio show to visit
the Armys exhibit
ST wish 1t were possible to stage
for you at this show a demonstration
of our various combined transmitting
and receiving sets," said Mr.. Davis
~For instance, the cavalry uses set
which Is packed on three horses and
accompanies the cavalry into the field
at any gait The men who handle
these sets are cayalrymen as wen as
expert radio men. So efficient have
some of these radio squads become
that on a march they can halt, set up
station and start sending a message
in 3 ~ minuteR"
Mr.. Davis described the various
stages of signal system, telling how
the Greeks erected signal towers on
hilltops and by a code OF lights were
able to signal each letter OF the Greek
alphabet and. therefore, complete mes
sages, and how the American Indians
in their earliest history lighted fires
on mountain tops with q blanket, con-
fined and released the smoke In such
a way aS to form messages.
