broadcasting station. 1t is installing
two sets of broadcasting equipment,

now licensed as Class A equipment to
operate on 244 meter wave length,
using the call letters WBBR. The
larger set is expected to be ready for
operation in the near future 1t is
believed trom experiments that there
will be less interference on this wave
length than on higher one. The
apparatus has been tested for several
nights; and reports indicate that lis
teners have heard very distinctly.
The masts for the antennae are con
structed of wood, which will elimi-
nate much difficulty that would result
from steel towers absorbing cleo
triclty. The masts of this station are
200 feet high and set 800 feet apart.

will be IN charge of the station. Mr..
L. L. Cohen will be manager of broad

cal, readings ON diet, health, hygiens,

Bible instruction, Bible questions and
answers, and featuring especially BIZ
Bile lectures by Judge Rutherford, the
President of the Association and a
number of his associates who for some
time have been lecturers of the Inter
national Bible Students Association.
1t is expected that the station will
open officially Sunday, Feb. "a. The
program will be put ON between $50
and 1880 P. NJ; and thereafter the
broadcasting will be each evening be-
tween those hours and on Sunday aft
ernoon between 8 and 5 P. M. The
opening program will consist of vocal

ford. The Golden Age magazine once
each week will give review of the
world news.
This station will be devoted entire
ly to educational instruction for the
benefit of the public on matters OF
Importance along the line above men
toned; and the Association will in

Trenchers of Wood
Often Works of Art

Wooden trenchers, commonly called
''treen" were in common use during the
Middle ages in Great Britain. "Masers
or cups and bowls were frequently men
toned in wills and inventories. The
finer specimens belonged to the richer
abbeys-thus, there was the Great
Maser at York, the Judas Cup at Dur
ham, and at st. Savior's, Southwark,
there was ga maser with boFdour and
knop of sylver and gilt which was
given TO the church wardens to drink
when they mete." These valuable
wooden cups were sometimes orna-
mented by a rim of silver, but other
wise they were seldom decorated by
more than a few low holdings or in
cised lines. Their value and beauty
lay in the granting of the wood, gen
orally maple, and the old turner's
chose the part of the trunk where it
divided off into branches so as to OBJ
tain the speckied bird's-eye granting.
By Tudor times pewter began to take
the place of treen, though poorer folk
: continued to use these wooden trench
ers and bowls till much later, especial
