From the above, the line of research
to be followed, and the solution, will
be readily understood by the descrip-
ton and Illustrations of the means en-
ployed to get the desired effect of diff
fusing the total volume of sound prac-
tically evenly over an entire room. The
first step was to place horn within a
horn, with simple means to hold these
two horns In their proper relative po-
sitions. Horns with straight sides
would naturally constitute no i'm
provement, therefore, the principle of
the bell tas for instance the opening
Of a cornet) Of the brass musical wind
instrument was adopted-and please
note-this bell has been used since
time immemoriai without change.

If the hands are rubbed with mix

washed in cold water the odor will be
removed.
To remove obstinate mason jar COW

Melt butter and heat milk when add

beat up light and fluffy.
Cornmeal mush will not become
lumpy when cooking If the water is
boiling and the cornmenl Is mixed with
little cold water to pour into the
boiling water Stir until well-mixed
and cook until thoroughly done. Add
tablespoonful of butter to the hot
mush-it improves the flavor and 1t
will fry better.
Do not put the dressing on salads

When baking potatoes clip the ends,
wash well, then rub with any sweet
fat. The skin will be thin md edible

to let the steam escape-this will
make mealy potato.

States Seek Data on
Amount of Game Killed

Minnesota and New York were piO-
neer states in inaugurating systems to
ascertain the amount of game killed
each year. Today score or more of
the state game departments are striv-
ing to collect this important data. The
compilation of such data gives very
good idea of game conditions in the
different states. BY reading the tabu-
lated results from the census of game
killed you can also arrive ut pretty
accurate conclusion as to the efficiency
of the game departments of these
states in years gone by.
From Denver dispatch we learn
that 1t Is estimated that 600 deer were
killed in Colorado last year. III The
same paper comes report from New
Jersey that 500 Virginia deer were
killed in that state the past season.
When you compare the areas Of Colo
RADIO and New Jersey, when you think
of the difference in density Of popula-
ton and also consider the amount of
territory in each suitable for deer, you
cannot help but realize that Colorado
has been negligent in the past In tho
care Of her game.

comes the proper twisting and solder

use. To make the joint, allow the
wires to lap for five or six inches, and
then twist the ends around the other
wire as tightly as possible. This aids

truly surprising. In every part Of the
room, be it directly underneath the
speaker or at distance of 15 feet. the
results were entirely different from
those obtained with the usual type of
horn. Good music or the voice re-
celved, acquired or was reproduced in
a soft mellow tone, though the full
volume was used at the input, and
without this input being greater than
necessary with the old-type horn.
The above results were obtained In
a room % by 35 feet. using single
speaker. It is practical certainty
that in a large auditorium with fair
acoustical qualities, two or three loud
speakers using the described type Of
horn, will give excellent results. Nat
urally, tests for placing the horns will
have to be made in every case, as the
length, width and height Of the audi
torium will govern the situation.
Only the horn of the size illustrated
has been made and used. However,
there should be no question from the
acoustical standpoint why different
sizes Of double horns, equipped with
different types Of microphones should
not work satisfactdrily.-Radio News.

THE PIRATICAL RUM SHIP

SALLLESS SAILING

More tnan usual Interest is the announcement
from e1oetungen, Germany, that a German engineer
named Anton Flettner has invented sailing vessel
mat sais the sea without sails He is said to have COM
petea long and successful cruise in the Baltic with
Vesse propelled by wind power operating through TIVE
maSts resembling smokestacks
nose hollow steel masts, nine feet in diameter
and % feet high, are described as having strange
cyihders inside which set in motion by the wind
ana thereby drive the ship The system can be oper-
aceo oy means OF small electric motor at the hands
OF one man According to the report the mysterious
nass yield an effective Is times great as the
usual area of canvas and the trial sailing indicate
saving of 30 to so per in operating costs because
there is no rigging required, and virtually no crew.
All this is so vague that it leaves much to be ex-
pialned and so weird that it challenges the credulity
OF an age accustomed to inventive marvels. Navga-
ton one OF the oldest of the arts is also one of the
siowest to progress 1t has taken many thousand
years to perfect a really efficient sailing ship not
to mention turbine-propelled oil-burning steamship
Now IT, at one crack sails done away with entirely
and masts alone utilize the wind more effectively
than power craft utilize coal or OIL the innovation is
of tremendous value.
1t is probably fake or dream-but YOU never
can tell. The Krupps and the Hamburg-American
line are said to be trying out the invention If So we
may soon hear more about it.

FUR-BREEDING

The breeding of fur-bearing animals for CONNER
cla purposes is increasing. Silver black fox ranches
have been very successful in Canada and in some of
eastern states. Silver fox farms are now being
started in widely scattered sections as Alaska Ore
gon, British Columbia Alberta, some of our middle
western states England and France A conservative
value for each fox is said to be $780,
Just recently still another fur industry mink
breeding, has been started in Prince Edward Island
and indications that it will meet with as great
success has the fox farming
AS long human beings insist wearing furs
for ornament we'll warmth, it is we'll that COM
mercia breeding has been started That method sup
plies the market and at the time prevents the ex
termination of the wild creatures brutaly sought
for their pelts. If some of these animas-the fox,
beaver mink, muskrat, and to be left wild
in their native haunts and only specially raised ami
mails to be slaughtered for this purpose then the
habit of wearing fur becomes little than that of
eating meat.
Perhaps some day human beings will outgrow both
of these habits and to make prey of the lower
animals.
