chiIdren's Day Program


The Children's Day program given
at the Methodist church Sunday eve
ming was a very pleasing one and the
relatives and friends of the children
filled the church. The children. the
girls all dressed in light dresses,
came into the church in an effective
manner. They were marshalled In
by little Miss Caroline Terrell. who
was dressed as a fairy. and after
mounting a platform she gave sig
nal at which the young folks became
seated in the front rows of the
church.
The fan drill given by nine girls
dressed in Japanese costumes and
coached by Miss Italy Hatch was
very pretty. The program opened
by a song by the congregation, fol-

Elephant Noted for Keen Sense of
Smell

What the elephant lacks in vision
is more than compensated for by the
animals keen sense of smell His
trunk is probably the best smelling
apparatus in the world. and he de-
pends first Of all on his sense Of
smell.
When he Is at all suspicious he
moves his trunk round in every d.
rection, so that the slightest taint in
the air will reach him. In many
other ways the elephants trunk Is
the most extraordinary part Of that
most extraordinary animal, the Prodi-
dence Journal says.
1t is entirely flexible at every point
and 1t can turn in any direction and
has tremendous strength. There is
no bone in it, but 1t is constructed of
interviewer muscles and sinew SO
tough that you can scarcely cut 1t
with a knife.
From 1t an elephant can shoot q
stream of water that will put out q
fire, and with 1t he can lift a tree
trunk weighing a ton or pull a deli

Several summers have gone by
since radio broadcasting began.
There has been ample opportunity
offered for careful study of static
conditions, and today radio engi.
neers are in possession OF invalu.
able data regarding these parasitic
noises of space. The problem of
combating static Is now fully un.
derstood--and that ts more than
half the battle.
"The present-day practice in ra.
dio broadcasting is to admit the
existence of static and consider it
as q necessary evil. By the same
token. radio engineers appreciate
the fact that the ether, or the We
hicle for the radio signals. is con.
stantly changing from season to
! season and from month to month
even from day to day, for that
matter. Hence the broadcast
transmitter must be designed not
so much for ideal conditions as for
. adverse conditions of warm
weather. Just as an airplane Is
; designed to Withstand nine times
as much stress as It will ever be
called upon to Withstand in actual
flying. so the broadcast transmit.
ter must be prepared to transmit
many times the power which is
normally required for providing

( How Powerful Broadcasters Are Smashing Static

~
tions Of the atmosphere, 80 as to-
maintain q strong, uniform. clean
cut signal In the receivers of the
broadcast listeners. Already there
are ample signs that broadcasters
are going in for more powerful
transmitters. and that the trans
mitted power can, thus cope with
unfavorable atmospheric condi.
tions.
Although increased strength Of
signals is the solution of perfect
reception under all conditions. the
solution Is not so easily achieved.
1t must be borne in mind that the
broadcasting power goes up as the
square of the signal strength. For
instance. II signal field strength
ten times as powerful is desired,
then the broadcasting power must
be increased ten times ten or one
hundred times. The same rule
generally applies to the distance.
II the distance spanned by the
transmitter, with a given strength
of signal. is to be doubled. the
transmitting power must be quad
rupled.
What Still More Powerful Signals
viii Mean
"All OF which means that the
burden falls rather heavily on the
broadcasters. Nevertheless, all.
year-round radio is now the aim Of
radio broadcasters and radio audi.

ever, as yet there have been no

ten times the power of most Of the
