PAVED STREETS

About time that the old agitation for paved streets
again bobs up. - - ,ll:
For years movements for paving have been bobbmg
up but every time it seems that something comes up anu
paving is forgotten.

ton taken toward this important and badly needed I'M

for awhile hut eventually the real boosters took matters
in hand and in 1911 Phoenix got her first paved streets

MIR. BRYAN doesn't believe in evc-
luton. Ii Mr.. Bryan would study
comparative embryology, he would
learn that each individual living thing
in its growth, passes in few weeks or
months through all the forms which
its race has passed through in hun
dreds of thousands of years. Each
animal body, whether frog, a bird. a
lion or man, Is for short time In Its
growth like all the other and lower
forms from which 1t has come.
Man has developed or evolved from
and through all the lower forms Of life
and each has left its marks on him.
These have generally been lost or COW
cred up but sometimes, for some
strange reasons, these marks of our
lowly origin remain. They are what
comparative anatomists call "vestigial
remnants"
One of these strange occasional sur
vivals is webbing of the fingers and
toes. The fish have fms, broad fiat
paddles by which they can force their
way through the water. Frogs have
distinct toes. but they are joined to-
gether by skin so as TO form broad
propeller. Ducks, like all water fowl,
have webbed feet.
But when man got away from the
sea and became land animal he lost
his webs on his hands and feet. He
needed fingers and toes more than he
did SWIMMING fJIc co fhnu hn-
came separate and unlimited down to
the base of the third joint. The. hu-
man hand is wonderful piece of ma
chinery, more useful than the paw of
any animal and it is the human hand
that has made man superior to and
more powerful than all beasts.
Occasionally an individual throws
back" to his sea-born ancestors and is
born with webbed fingers or toes. Why
nobody knows.
An unusual series of such cases Is
reported by DR.. Douglas p. Murphy in
a recent issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association. In five
generations OF family in a mountain
community, fourteen cases were found.
The first member, mountaineer, had
the second and third toes on his right
foot webbed. Although this is the first
case which Doctor Murphy saw it was
evidently considered a family mark
since the mountaineer threatened TO
disown his first child if it did not have
this defect. Fortunately for his do
nestle happiness, his first son had
all his fingers and toes webbed. The
son had ten children, three of which
had webbed fingers or toes. In the
next two generations, nine of the chill
dren had this family mark.
What Is the cause of this peculiar
ity? No one knows 1t occurred in

to the certainty Of their conviction
that He whom they had seen taken
from the cross, whose body had been
laid in Joseph's tomb, survived as a
real and living presence in their midst.
This faith brought together the fright
ened and detected group of disciples
in the spirit of confident rejoicing; 1t
carried them through arduOus labor
and bitter persecution it won to them
increasing adherents; it triumphed
over every difficulty, over all oNosi

lips.
empty tomb, but, in fact, it had deeper
foundation than that. 1t went back
behind the tomb and the cross to the
living Christ as they had known Him.
To have known Jesus was to have
known that there is a spiritual reality
which transcends the material and the
temporal This consciousness had
been quickened in the souls of His fol-
lowers. The jealous hatred Of His
foes, the brutal cross of Roman power,
the sealed tomb-these were the
evanescent, the illusory means where
by it was stupidity sought to destroy
the eternal reality of His love, His
wisdom, His soaring faith in God And
the effort had failed. How could 1t
be otherwise? How can it ever be
otherwise?
And the meaning Of His life was
just this-that the reality in the life
of all men is the possibility Of becom-
ing like Him, Of expressing beauty
and goodness and truth, of living now
and always in the power Of the life
eternal.
1t is the revival of that resurrection
faith which the world needs today,
faith in the reality, of the continuing
life, and the things which belong to 1t.
Nothing else can save us from the per-
verified sense of values which curses
humanity, from the circling pursuit of
illusion, from the vain struggle for
that which cannot satisfy.
The vital message of this Easter
season is the call to every man to 1--WE
In the light and power Of the life
eternal, and the assurance that to
every man such life Is possible.
Jesus lived it supremely. Those who
dare to follow where He leads may
know its joy and when the world &C
cepts His leadership it will find both
righteousness and peace-those treas
ures it can never find while it gropes
amid the shadows of its passing pride
and pomp.

More Audio Frequency
Modification Helps

Many of the things we most want to
hear by radio are broadcast during
daylight hours, when reception is at
it's worst. For the ladies there are
the household talks during the morn
ing; for the men there are baseball
games during the afternoon; for farm
err folk there are crop and weather re-
ports. and for the whole family
church services on Sunday morning.
Yet daylight reception is from two TO
three times as difficult as nighttime re-
ception, and this means that many re-
ceivers are unable to reach stations
while the suns rays are absorbing
radio waves that are brought in readi-
ly when Sol has dropped below the
horizon
The thing to do, if better daylight
reception is desired, would appear to
be to add power to the receiver. 1t is
particularly desirable to introduce new
units into the radio frequency circuit.
for in the daytime we are dealing with
very weak original impulses. But more
audio frequency application will also
help.

CRYING BABIES

THE scientific study Of babies has
= exceeded in efficiency the thorough.
ness of the Chicago stock yards. In
that center of business energy 1t is
an old story that every part of the pig
except the squeal is used. In a recent
issue of the American Journal of Dis
eases of Children, three doctors de-
vote % pages to the effect of cry
ing on newborn babies. They don't
say anything about the effect of the
babies crying on other members of the
household.
Put into plain language, the ques-
lions which the investigators were try
ing to answer were: how much en-
ergy does the baby spend in crying and
how much food is needed to furnish
this energy.
They found that crying uses up a
baby's energy; just as physical work
uses up the energy of an adult, and
that this lost energy must be restored
by food. In other words, crying is
work for baby, and sometimes hard
work.
Few Of US grownups realize how
hard baby works when it cries. The
authors estimated that if baby cried
continuously for "a hours (Which,
thank God it never does), and If 1t
was 20 per cent efficient in using its
energy, which would be better than the
best locomotive, it would do an amount
of work equal to lifting its own weight
to the top of the Washington monu-
ment. And all this on only three ia
blespoonfuls of milk! AS fuel saver,
the baby has the best power plant ever
built backed off the boards.
How much energy the father ex-
ponds in walking the floor with the
baby while it is crying, the article does
not state.
But the important fact is that crying
is not a harmless amusement on the
part Of the baby. 1t is work. 1t uses
UP strength and energy, which the
baby needs for growing. 1t tires the
baby and makes him feel miserable,
and then he cries some more.
Yet it is the only way he has of
making the stupid, grown-up world
know that he is uncomfortable.
Crying is his danger signal and his
safety valve. If he is well and happy
and comfortable, he wort cry. Then
everybody else is happy. He only cries
when there is something wrong. and
the sooner this is corrected the less en-.
ergy he'll waste.

EsNgsE

THE season of the Resurrection
i story has come again. Throughout
the Christian world the minds and
hearts of men are turned to dwell
upon a fact which no naturalistic
critic of the gospels has ever succeed
ed in explaining away.
Faith may differ over whether the
reported resurrection experiences of
the followers of Jesus were objective
or subjective, but history records be-
yond effective contradiction the COM
polling and Transforming result upon
life and character of those expert
ences. Whatever doubt may be held
as to whether the men and women
who testified to seeing the risen Christ
looked with the eyes Of the body upon
an actual physical manifestation of
their Master, there can be no doubt as

over the law of force. To the Chris
tian, Easter is the proof that the con-
ception of life which Jesus brought to
men has behind 1t the power Of God.
When those who give allegiance to
Jesus are willing to take up the cross
and follow Him, that power will work
another resurrection. 1t will bring
back from the grave which Mammon
has made and sealed all that is best
and most beautiful in the capacities of
the human soul, and men will live the
life for which God destined them-the
life of sons of God.

line; use only one wire and no angles
A multistrand wire of about No. IA
gauge is all right for this purpose. The
ground is just as important as the an
tenna, although it is he one item gen.
orally given the least consideration.
The best ground is one connected TO
several objects such as a water pipe,
radiator, metal stake driven in the
ground, gas pipe, etc. In this manner
a low resistance ground is sure TO be
obtained and will retain its value I'M
der all conditions. The length Of the
ground lead makes little difference.
1t may be 90 feet long If necessary.
Use large-gauge wire. You may use
uninsulated if more convenient.
The .Jarts necessary to construct the
set are as follows:
One variometer (should have about
80 turns on both rotor and stator).
One .001 variable condenser, about
43 plates.
One variable crystal detector.
One seven by nine panel.
Dashboard, binding posts, screws,
wire, etc.-Doston Traveller.

AS greater application requires
more tubes. so does it require greater
battery power. And dependable day
time reception demands that batteries
be at their best, for stations that will
come in satisfactorily at night on
weak batteries cannot be heard during
the day. To avoid disappointment.
then, it is essential that battery pow
er be kept up by means of a good
charger, since regular recharging not
only means better service. but longer
life for the battery.
