range of the dirigible's present set,
these figures are impressive. Long
distance sending win be taken care of
by means of a tube transmitter, oper-
ating on a wave-length range of 800
to 1900 meters. For shorter ranges
the new wireless equipment includes
an auxiliary transmitrer with mini
mum range of 500 miles. This trans
mitter operates on comparatively low
power by resorting to high frequen-
cies. 1t works at 1900 kilocycles on
a 100-meter wave length.
A six-kilowatt generator. driven by
a special gasoline motor. supplies al
ternating current for the main trans
mitter and direct current to replenish
the plants storage batteries and to
light the ship The batteries also fur
nish "juice" for starting the generator
motor. In case this breaks down In
flight the batteries have sufficient re-
serve power to operate the auxiliary
transmitting set for some time in ad-
dition to keeping necessary lights
burning.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the ShenandOah's new equip
ment Is her radio compass. So far as
is known 1t Is the first radio compass
to be installed on lighter-than-air
ship and is said to be without coun-
terpart In all the radio world.

gible Shenandoah when she joins The
Atlantic feet to cooperate in war ma
neuvers and later crosses the continent

According to officers, the set will have
a greater range than the wireless of
any of the worlds passenger ships.
The set is now being completed in
the radio division of the naval expert

Bellevue, near here. To make room
for 1t the engine was removed from
the control car of the Shenandoah dur

An effective sending range of 1000
miles was the minimum requirement
set for the navy's radio engineers
when they were told to build the new
wireless plant. That was the least
they were to do. What they have
done, according to the giant airship's

Urge Education for "Back to Nature"

The American Nature association OF

paign, and in cooperation with Mrs.
John d. Sherman, the newly elected
president of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs, the association Is car

this end. Mrs. Anna Botsford Com
stock, the leader in nature study in
struction In the United States, directs
the nature study lessons for the asso-
citation.
In commenting on the work of the
conference, Charles L. Pack, who Is
chairman of the committee on state
parks and forests, says:
1.-THE call of President Coolidge
came at an opportune time. As never
before, millions are now getting into
the out of doors and closer TO nature.
These millions must be educated, not
alone to the wonders of nature, but as
to the direct bearing nature has upon
their daily lives. Extreme need Of
education to halt the destruction Of
natures wonders is shown by the esti-
mates that predict three million auto
mobiles will be sold In 1924 and only
twelve million books. That means
only one book TO every twelfth family.
1t also means that thousands of new
comers will take to The road.

LEGION WAS LUCKY
IN 1924 CONGRESS

In outlining the achievements of the
national legislative committee of the
American Legion during the first ses-
sion Of the Sixty-eighth congress, John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman Of the
committee, stated that eight measures
OF major Importance were enacted
largely through the efforts of the Le-
gion. He declared 1924 was the most
successful year in the history of the
Legion in carrying out policies.
The eight Legion-sponsored bills,
made laws, were: the adjusted COM
pensation bill, the creation of the COM
mittee on World war veterans legisla-
ton of the house of representatives,
Reed-Joh bill, affecting more than
100000 disabled veterans and their de-
pendents; the Fernald-Langley bill, au-
thorizing the construction Of fireproof
hospitals costing $6,500,O06 and con-
tanning 1850 beds; provision for a
$350,OO0 training school for blind vet
Grams at Evergreen, Md; the Fred
ericks bill, providing $1,500,0O0 fire
proof hospital, containing 500 beds, at
Santa Monica, Calf; house resolution
authorizing survey and investigation
of World war veterans hospitals and
soldiers homes; provision for the erec-
tion of permanent stone crosses in
overseas cemeteries; and the war
trophies bill, to distribute the vast
amount of war material captured and
surrendered from Germany.
Other measures which the Legion ap-
proved and extended its influence
toward enactment were: the immigra-
tion act Of 1924, which restricts and
selects immigrants and excludes the
Japanese; the constitutional amend
ment to prohibit child labor, which
now goes to the states for ratification.
Important provisions Of the Reed
Johnson bill are: extension to January
I, 1925, Of the presumption of auto
matte service connection for disabin-
ties, from the former period Of three
years after discharge, a provision
which will allow 10000 veterans to I'm
mediately connect their disabilities
with the service and thereby receive
government compensation; free care
and treatment In government hospitals
for any veteran of any war or expedi-
tion since 1897, without regard to the
nature or origin of his disabilities; re-
quirement that compensation cannot be
reduced or discontinued without three
months notice to the disabled veteran;
lapsed war risk Insurance Is automat-
ically reinstated retroactively where at
the time of lapse the veteran had suffi-
cient unpaid compensation due him to
revive his insurance the rating Of dis
ability and awarding of compensation
and disqualification was ordered de-
centralized; awards of compensation
for disability can now be made in the

Slight Decrease Is Noted in Employment

job and newspaper printing, and saw
mills and millwork. These increases,
however, are considerably smaller than
those In the steel industry.
Referring to the wages and hours In
the iron and steel industry, the federal
review states:
"While the eight-hour turn has been
adopted as the standard working time
for all employees in some entire plants
and in certain department divisions In
other plants, the twelve-hour shift still
prevails to large extent. Some en-
ployees also work seven days a week.
"In the United States the total num-
ber of children from ten to fifteen
years of age reported as engaged in
gainful occupations in 1920 was 1,060,-
858, representing 85 per cent of all
children In that age period, as COM
pared with 1,990,225 or 1874 per cent
in 1910; 1,750,000 or 1872 per cent In
1901 1,503,771 or 1871 per cent In 1890.
"This increase was general through
out the country and was more marked
for boys than for girls. Only six states
showed an increase In the number of
children gainfully employed"

of very old scandal-that little fir
tation of Jupiter's with 10. The jeal-
Gus Juno suspected her lord, and Ju-
piter, in order to conceal 10 from his
watchful wife, transformed her into
a beautiful COW. But Juno was not
to be fooled by any little trick like
that and set Argus of the hundred
eyes to keep watch over that same
COW night and day to ascertain, If pos
sible, whether the animal showed any
signs of being goddess in disguise,
or whether she was a rest cow.
Thereupon Jupiter sent Mercury from
High Olympus to cut Argus head off.
But Juno would not consent to 10 be-
ing restored to her true form until
Jupiter had solemnly promised never
to fiirt with the lady any more.
Now, everybody knows that thunder
and lightning are but the manifesta-
tions of the wrath and power of Ju-
piter, "Cloud-compelling" and "thun-
der-bolt-wielding," the ancients called
him. The man on the milking stool in
the New England barn represents
Argus by the side of the cow-shaped
10, and when he hears the angry thun-
ders of Jove (Jupiter) he had better
leave off milking and go into the house
until the storm Is over lest he, Argus,
be destroyed.

THE OFFICIAL ATTITUDE

"A only of her sense of humor. At
twenty-five, Patty found herself pen
niless, friendless orphan. There was
only Mr.. Wicks, twice her age. the ex-
pert accountant who lived in the same
boarding house and pursued her with
boxes of molasses chips. Patty, in
spite of her impecuniosity and her
loneliness, was permanently amused at
Mr.. Wicks in the role of suitor.
Then, in the words of the old novels,
'she knew nothing more until she
found herself installed as secretary to

Where before had she seen that pale
brown paper and that pink string? In

the pages of a book filpped open in a

clared that the work of the
peace-time soldier and the high
standard of citizenship which is
now represented by them in the
American Legion is equally de-
serving of praise, and in certain
instances of high honors. He
said: 1.-The actions of the ay-
