w. R. Goodman Given
Big Surprise Party

Six automobiles left Palisade last
Sunday morning, filled with friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. r. Goodman, and
bound for their cottage at Green
wood Lake where surprise party
was staged in celebration of their
thirty-fifth wedding anniversary.
The anniversary was really on the
Friday preceding, but this little dis
crepancy did not dampen the spirits
of the guests, nor diminish the pleas
ure that the host and hostess expert
enced over this complimentary visit
from their friends.
The party had been planned by
Mrs. John A. Sharp, whose ability as
manager of any event is unsurpass-
ed, and so when the long table was
set under the trees near the lake,
and covers were laid for thirty-six,
the picnic baskets disclosed food of
infinite variety and of quality such
| as Palisade housewives are easily
capable of producing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodman occupied the
head of the table, and at their plates
they found all sorts of interesting
gifts such as they could use in camp.
Swimming was the order of the
day and nearly everyone took advan-
tage of the rare opportunity that is
offered at the Goodman beach.
About five o'clock the guests as
sembled in the spacious living room
of the cottage, and on the dining
table was placed huge cake with
35 lighted candles.
Much cheering for the bride and
groom" followed, and hearty con-
gratulations were showered upon
them.
An interesting coincidence was dis
covered in the fact that it was also
the occasion of Mr.. l., H. Valentines
thirty-fifth birthday, so the ihirty-five
candles held a double significance.
Everybody seemed to think that a
speech was in order, and as Mr.. Arthur
Hayes pleaded headache, Mrs. Ernest
Sibley was pressed to speak for the
guests. This Mrs. Sihley claimed she
felt totally unprepared to do, but said
that the burning candles seemed to
symbolic the brightness and cheer
that Mr.. and Mrs. Goodman had for
thirty-five years been dispensing to
their friends and neighbors, in their
home, and through all their activities
Over a long period of years Mr..
Goodman has been tireless in his ef-
forts in behalf of the youth of the
village, and Mrs. Goodman has CO.
operated by opening her home many
times for their entertainment.
The youth of Palisade was well rep
resented, for among the guests were
Miss Helen Paulson recently returned
from France, Ernest Sibley, Jr., Wes-
ley Schmidt, Helen Boswick, Stanley
Sharp, Otis Valentine, Charles Hayes,
Jack and Helen Lewis, Billy, Linwood
and Doris May Clark, and Joan and
Cora Jean Paulson, all of whom have
received their religious training un-
der Mr.. Goodmans leadership.
Mrs. Sibley referred to youth as be-
ing one of the most coveted of pos
sessions, and in recognition and ac-
acknowledgement of the characteristics
of Mr.. and Mrs. Goodman proposed
toast, "To Youth-fully possessed

only by those who have passed be-
yond it."
Mrs. Goodman responded in humor-
GUS vein and Mr.. Goodman acknowl-
edged with sincere appreciation the
significance of the occasion.
Coffee, lemonade, sandwiches and
cake were later freely INDUCED in,
and about eight o'clock the cars were
refilled and on their way back to Pali'
sade, the guests carrying with them
memories of delightful day and the
strengthening of friendships between
friends and neighborS.

SOUTH MANCHESTER, Conn,
March I'm broad daylight -at 10

Of the deadening effect of the suns
rays, John l.. Reinartz, inventor
and radio amateur of this place, sue
ceeded in sending signals from his
code transmitter across the Atlantic
ocean. He used a wavelength Of
twenty-one meters, further proving
his theory that the very short
waves can be as effective in day
light as the longer waves are at
night.
This feat is the elimination Of
many months of experimenting dur
ing which Reinartz has been coop

and amateur members OF the Amer

the A r. r. L. following receipt

prove that the short waves prom

ago Reinartz' signals were heard In

His work is regarded as the most

modified by the high contracting
parties by common consent. Confer
ences Of plenipotentiaries having
power to modify the convention and

On instructions from the Secretary
OF State, the American delegates at
the conference at London in 1912 in
vited the delegates to hold the next
conference at Washington and this
invitation was unanimously accepted.
The proposed conference will con-
slider the great advances in the radio
art that have taken place since the
convention was drafted in 1912. That
convention dealt only with radio
communication between ship and
shore stations. Since then the ques-
ton OF the regulation OF radio tele-
graph communication between. shore
stations In different countries, the
development OF the radio telephone
as a means OF communication and
radio broadcasting have become OF
national importance.

SINKING AT
RATE OF FOOT A DAY
In MISSISSIPPI VILLAGE

Thousand of curiosity seekers are
visiting the vicinity of Union Church.
a village west of Brookfield, Miss,
where for an underlined reason the
earth is cracking and sinking in an
area a quarter OF a mile long and
forty feet wide. Some of the cracks
were described as bottomless. while
parts of the strip have sunken from
/ to Is feet. The dropping of the
earth continues at an estimated rate
of a foot a day.
One theory is that hundreds of
years ago aborigines inhabiting the
country dug large underground
chambers beneath the hills. the en-
rance subsequently being filed and
the earth only now caving in. An
other is that an explosion heard
some time ago vas due to the burst
ing through the earth's crust OF en-
tombed gas, starting the movement
of the soil now in progress.
