S. III. McCrory, chairman Of the com
mittee on schools.
The association went on record Ia
voring the purchase of additional land,

Mr.. Hobart announced that the
same committee appointed last year
in connection with the construction
of subway under Van Buren street
or Lamond's crossing would be con
tinued and that every effort would be
made to secure the additional funds

board by the citizens and also empha-
sized the need of public Fairgrounds

MACMILLAN BROADCAST
NOTED IN NEW ORLEANS
Test Accepted as Giving Assurance
of Exchange of Messages With
Arctic Expedition.

The odds against wireless communi-
cation between the Macmillan eXpedi-
ton, headed into the North polar re-
gions, and the United States dropped
today following an announcement here
by the National Geographic Society
that WNP, the call letters of the
ReinartZ equipment aboard the Bow
doin, had exchanged messages with
New Orleans and Milton, N Y. after
the departure from Sidney, n. S.
Twoway communication over these
distances is held to be extraordinary
for the season and a distinct success
for the efforts of John l.. Reinartz,
operator for the expedition. There is
no accounting for the ability of WNP
to be heard in New Orleans, other than
to attribute the phenomenon to the
freakishness of the short waves.
Whether the Bowdon will be able
to communicate with the United
States after it reaches the regions of
perpetual Summer daylight is still a
matter of conjecture, but it is held
that should the waves manage to get
through the ether they probably will
be picked up in the extreme southern
part of the United States or in Cali
fornia.

How to Equip Your Radio Workshop
at Small COst-Part /.

There Is no reason why every radio
fan should not be able to have
place in which to do practically all
the experimenting that he would like
to do. Lack of space is no umita-
ton, because 1t Is possible to ut
radio workshop into the most crowded
apartment If the proper means are
used. In many cases the lady of the
house voices her objections to having
radio material scattered throughout
her home, but even such objections
can be overcome.
For the man who lives in the
suburbs, with perhaps a spare room
to use for a workshop, no difficulty
on the score Of lack of space or the
objection of having parts strewn all
over the place need be considered
A table or workbench can be con-
structed which is serviceable If not
beautiful, and any number of shelves
may be put up for keeping all the
parts and implements of the trade.
The city dweller, however. is con-
fronted with the problem Of finding
space enough to keep the parts, tools
and other implements Of his art.
Kitchen q Laboratory.
The most likely place to do the ex-
perimental work is naturally in the
kitchen. After you have helped your
wife or mother wash the dishes and
clear up the place (as, OF course, you
always do to keep in her good graces
to the extent that you will be al
lowed to muss up the place Pnce IN
awhile). you are ready to get to work
on the latest circuit.
The lack of space. as / said before,
chord ~,----~ - --+r''+ ION because

does not require very vivid imagina-
ton to picture it's use as q radio
cabinet. Notice the large sections
with doors, on which woodsaws, hack
saws, hammers and other such tools
can be hung; the closet space, in
which finished models can be placed,
space at the back for use in hanging
up small tools; the compartments on
the lower side, which will come in
very handy for hiding away storage
battery, charger and B batteries, and
the large number of drawers for use
in putting away tools, parts and ma
terialS.
The working top is an extension af.
fair which can be pushed back into
the cabinet when not in use and
pulled out when required so as to
give a working surface Of SO inches
by AZ inches. The sketch at Fig.
shows the sliding top arrangement.
Fig. 8 shows the cabinet entirely
closed, with everything hidden from
sight, so that to all intents and pur-
poses it is just a good-looking piece
of kitchen equipment. A cabinet of
this type can be bought new or sec
ond hand and will furnish q means of
taking the bother and objection out
of home experimentation and set con-
