RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

The American boy, with his won
derul adoption to electrical and me-
chanical development, continues to
be a factor both in the progress of
the radio art and in the Summer
time demand for radio apparatus. He
is supplementing his winter book
studies with practical work at home,
in camp or at the seashore.
Pierre Boucheron, chairman of a
committee of the Associated Manu-
facturers of Electrical Supplies. now
compiling statistics on the subject,
declares that the outstanding fact
already developed is that no other
scientific achievement in recent his
tory has SO captured the imagina-
ton of millions of American boys
as radio has done.
In this case, at least" says Mr..
Boucheron. ''it stands thoroughly
proved that the American boy is
father to the radio man."
electrical experimenter. with the re-
suit, Mr.. Boucheron points out. that
many of the noteworthy develop
ments in the art have been brought
about by comparatively young men
BOYS of today are astonishing
their elders with glib references to
such recondite subjects as electrons,
ether waves and radio frequency am
plification," said Mr. Boucheron.
"These boys understand well the
fundamentals of electrical theory and
practice and the complex changes
undergone by electrical impulses In
a radio circuit.
Radio this summer has taken the
American boy off the street corner
and placed him in his homemade
laboratory. Instead of the lurid
novels he now reads the radio sec
tions of the newspapers. Incidental
ly. in scanning the news columns for
radio news he is absorbing a large
amount of cultural information on
other subjects Previously he de-
voured only the comic sections and
left the rest of the newspaper prac-
tically untouched.
Radio is teaching the boy a great
er appreciation of music than he
could possibly have obtained from
painful music lessons or lectures on

SEES PREVENTION
BETTER THAN CURE
Lieut.. Van Wrinkle Urges Pc.
.IiceWomen as Check on
: Delinquency.

Each neigh borhood in Washington
vent delinquency as it has uni
formed patrolmen to guard against
IT, footpad and the burglar. in the
opinion of Lieut.. Nina c. Van
Winkle. head Of the Woman's
Bureau.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle is firm believer
in the old sdage about an ounce of
prevention being worth one or more
pounds of cure. Applying this bit of
philosophy to the problem Of safe
guarding boys and girls as they grow
INFO maturity. the director of the
Woman's Bureau says:
sI believe il is better to spend a
little more time and money in pre-
venting delinquency than to build in
StftutionS after the delinquency has
occurred"
Want Forces Argumented.
To carry out this policy Lieut.. Van
Wrinkle wants 25 more women ado ed
tos her personnel, which would bring
the total strength of the Woman s
Bureau UP to A.
With a staff of that size the lieu
tenant says. she can make a perma-
nent detail or one woman operative
to each general locality-north, east.
south and west of the center of the
city.
AT the present there are 20 fair
guardians of the law, but with this
number, Mrs. Van Wrinkle declares
she could not inaugurate her plan
tor neighbOrhood work The chief
function of these community police
women would be to keep a lookout
for conditions that tend to contribute e
to or encourage delinquency.
II is probable that Mrs Van Wrinkle
viii ask for an enlarged IIrsonnel
in her annual report to Mai Sullivan,
now being drafted.
Another Idea Advanced.
Another aim in the mind of the di-
RECTOR of the bureau is to obtain a
wpman's building near the house of
detention in order that female pris-
oners may be entirely removed from
hshment of the Woman'S Bureau six
Years ago and the combining of it
with the house of detention nearly all
women who fall into the tolls of the
law have been taken to the detention
house. 1t is still necessary, however,
TO detain some women in precinct
cells.
A third need, in the opinion of Mrs.
Van Wrinkle, is the establishment of
a central clinic where woman prison.
erS and juvenile delinquents could be
examined both physically and men
tally as step in determining how
their cases should be handled and
what is necessary to restore them as
useful members of society.
Although thS syoman's Bureau is
still in its infancyras a branch of the
Police Department, it has come to the
recognized as an essential cog in the
machinery of d modern police system.
POIicewomen in Constant Demand.
Hardly a day passes that a woman
operative is not called upon to aid de-
tectiVes in gathering evidence or
seeking out a hunted quarry.
In addition " the assistance they
render the detective bureau and the
precincts, the woman operatives have
various independent functions to per-
form in guarding the youth of the
city, such as inspection of dance halls
and similar public places, patroling
the busy downtown thoroughfares
wa itching for shoplifters and the
maintenance of constant detail al

The Womans Bureau is especially
active in searching for missing per-
sons and runaway children.

No patent is granted upon the mere

LYON PARK.

LYON PARK. Va, August 9 (Spe-
ChD.-A large delegation, comprising
the executive committee of the Ash
ton Heights Citizens Association, jour-
neyed to Lyon Park last week to dis
cuss the recent proposal of the Lyon
Park Civic Association for the ANAL
gamation of the two bodies into one.
CT N. Dagger, president of the Ashton
Heights association led the discussion
and presented a number of questions.
Arthur Orr was designated by A. A.
Moore, chairman of the executive
committee of the Lyon Park associ-
alton, to answer the queries and to
give an outline of the views of the
civic body. Mrs. Joseph Haley. Miss
Eleanor Irerger and Mr.. Foster par
ticipated in the discussion.
sThe plans for the community house
were discussed. 1t was pointed out
that the project had reached a point
where it was awaiting a definite de-
Heights association. Should this ac-
tton be in favor of joining the two
bodies, the community house project
necessarily would require a review,
and the enlarged association would
then take up the question of its con-
tinuation. The question of the proper
control of the recreation park and the
recent movement for the reorganiZa-
tion of the Boy Scout troop were
discussed.
The delegation from Ashton Heights
was composed of q. n. Dagger, Allen
Rogers, r. J. Ryland, Richard Eacho,
George A. Cooke, d. A. Millerick, and
Il J. Kelley and Mesdames c. p
Warner, Eta Ewing, Hazel Davies,

report from the Community House
committee. together with A progress
report on the work of the Good Roads

Too MANY French Clubs.

France is at present in the difficult
position of having too many radio So
cieties. rather than too few. AS re-
suit there is consid derable jealousy
and i'll feeling, rather than any prac-
tical cooperation.
Some effort has been exerted to
unite them, but even those who are
trying to do SO find that they are
hampered by the distrust Of other
leaders whose aim is the same.

EARTH SHOCKS.
 REGISTERED BY
 ENGLISHWOMAN

LONDON, Feb. 1.-London has "human seismograph," a woman who registers earthquake shocks wherever they occur, says Prof. H. H. Turner, in the Quarterly Review.
 "A woman of peculiar sensitive ness," he write, s''has for many years past been able .. to report almost every earthquake in all parts of the world before any news comes in. She suffers from a peculiar nervous tension as though under the in- fluence of electricity. It almost in- capacitates here while it lasts, but it ends suddenly"
 The professor quotes a letter dated September 10 which asserts that ''these Japanese earthquakes have affected her badly and she had bad attack yesterday. Almost imme- diately," he continues. "the explana- tion of the bad attack was realized. There was considerable shock in India on September g."
