- ONTINENTS sunk for ages be-
low the surface of the ocean,
~ new lands growing up from the
depths Of the sea, can now be
traced and charted by means of a de-
vice developed by experts of the United
States navy. BY the use of this inter-
esting instrument sound waves are
projected even 81 miles to the oceans
bed The depth Is determined by the
interval elapsing before the wave re-
turns and is registered on a delicate
scale.
The sonic depth finder is the devel-
opment of a government scientist, DR..
ii. G. Hayes of the experimental sta
ton of the bureau of engineering
Navy department. After months of re-
search he brought the instrument to
such perfection that in June, 1923, it
was placed on board the destroyer
Stewart, then detailed to proceed from
Newport to Gibraltar, and on to Manila
through the Suez canal. Doctor Hayes
accompanied the Stewart and sound
ings were constantly made while the
destroyer was steaming across the At
lantic, a striking contrast to the old
method of stopping and throwing out
the lead, process which usually con-
sumed one to two hours. Depths from

a thoroughly American invention.
Pointing out that III planes were on
duty afloat November 1, he said the de-
partment intended to supply all battle
ships with two fighting and one OBJ
servation plane, and destroyers with
one machine.
Both Secretary Wilbur and Admiral
Moffett disagreed with suggestions
that the next war would be waged en-
tirely in the air, asserting that the
necessity for landing bases and their
relatively limited range of action would
always subordinate them in import
ance TO the floating ships.
Both witnesses also opposed the pro-
posal for unified air service.

" NFERIOR1TY in number but su-

those of other countries, Secretary of
the Navy Wilbur and Rear Admiral
Moffett, chief of the bureau of aeronau-

secretary testified. "As far as the navy
Is concerned, the condition is satisfac-

Rear Admiral Moffett was of the
same opinion, saying, Nobody is
ahead of us; in fact, we are leading"
"We are so far ahead of anybody
else in naval aviation" he added, that
1t will take them long time to catch

The superiority existed, Moffett said
despite that only 224 Of the $40 planes

Should Know Tricks
of Favored Crystal Set

Those who have the future of the
radio amateur at heart are worried.
| They are not worried over the perma-
| nency Of radio as an art or as public
utility. That is assured. But the fu-
ture Of the amateur phase of radio is
not assured; there is dark cloud
hanging over it at the present time
which threatens Its very existence.
| The tendency of the present-day
novice is to run along the wrong track,
and unless he reverts to the position Of
the amateur of radios early days, in
stead of continuing as the greatest fac
tor in radio development, he will be-
come mere incident, without the
glory and credit that has belonged to
him in the past.
The buyer of an automobile who buys
with the idea of driving 1t himself and
to large degree caring for it himself.
If he is wise buys car of relatively
small cost and simple construction. He
studies it until he becomes intimately
| acquainted with its merits and Its
weaknesses-fnd out how to get the
most and the best out of 1t. BY the
time he has mastered his first car, he
is naturally ambitious to possess one
of greater attachments; one that will
do bigger and better things. And he Is
| fit to be trusted with such valuable
piece of machinery. He is almost sure
! to remark that he is glad that he had
sense enough to learn on the Junior.
| But the tendency of the radio novice
is not to climb the ladder of experience
but reach the top by one big bound. To
plunge into elaborate and costly appa-
ratus. This leads to poor results in re-
ceiving, and the rendering of horrible
examples" to the neighbors-the d.
vorcing from the radio idea of many
who might become enthusiasts and of
benefit to the art.
The amateur may well start with the
crystal set. 1t presents fascinating

| his own set If at all mechanically in
clined. Should learn it's how and why
from A to 2. To know when he is get
ting all that is in it, and If not, why
not.
| There is lot of fun and lot of
efficiency in well-built crystal set, and
a lot of Joy in receiving over what you
have made yourself; of showing off
your own child. 1t is doubtful If re-
ceiving over any costly outfit will ever
give the genuine satisfaction to the
owner that comes from reception over
the outfit that cost few dollars and
that he has himself put together.

Ten Good Rules for
Broadcast Listeners

1. Don't try to hear Australia In
midsummer. Be satisfied TO enjoy the
nearer stations most of the time.
2. Don't be disappointed If an occa-
sional storm should interfere with
your radio evening. There are many
fine concerts coming. You can't ex-
pect TO find a pearl in every oyster
nor TO receive record-breaking con-
cert every night.
3. If you want louder signals, use
a longer aerial, more tubes, higher
plate voltage, more sensitive loud
speakers, and more careful ticker and
receiver adjustment.
A. A pleasant signal filling moder-
ate-siZed room should be enough to
give satisfaction. 1t is not worth
while producing signals which deafen
the neighbors. 1t is wasteful to insist
on tremendous signals which are gen.
orally less pleasant than moderate Sig
nails.
5. If you local station comes In too
loudly and browns others out, a
smaller aerial will help in tuning him
out, with smaller condenser con-
nected between aerial and ground.
And if all measures to get rio of the
local station fail, why not enjoy his
concerts? He is working hard for you
and it is nobody's fault that you are
hear him. Broadcast stations have to
be closer to some people than to
others.
6. For the new longer waves above
$50 meters, use condenser connected
between the aerial and ground termi-
mails Of your set.
z. A little patience in learning to
handle your receiver yields rich re-
turns in satisfaction from fine signals.
Remember that "Rome wasn't built in
a day" and keep on getting more and
more familiar with your set and how
it works.
g. 1t is a good idea to read the
radio column of newspaper or good
radio magazine or two. 1t helps you
70 know how your set works and
keeps you up-to-date in radio. Infor-
nation of this sort Is an aid In get
ting the concerts loud and clear.
o. Ask your radio dealer for advice
he can probably tell you what you want
TO know and will be glad to do so.
The manufactures of your set is also
willing to help you get the desired
results from its use.
10. Do not throw away the direc-
ton sheets or booklet that came with
your set and with the tubes. Read all
such material carefully now and then.
If you have lost the direction sheet,
write to the dealer or manufacturer
for another. The direction sheets
answer most of the questions which
have been puzzling you and prevent
ing you from getting the best out of
your set.

WHAT IS EvApoRArED MlLKg

Did you ever stop TO figure out the
exact meaning of ''Evaporated Milk'7
The word 'eyaporated" may give you
the idea that In the process of evape-
ration the milk has lost some of Its
valuable qualities. 1t hasn't. 1t has
lost only water Sixty per cent of the
water is evaporated from the milk
after it comes fresh from the COW.
The first step in processing the milk
is the evaporation, when a portion of
the water content is removed. The
second step Is the homogenization,
which insures the cream being dis
tributed evenly throughout the milk.
The third is the canning. The fourth
is sterilization, which takes place in
the can when the milk is subjected to
sufficient heat to destroy the bacteria.
Thus evaporated milk remains as pure
and fresh in the container as when Ii
foamed into the pail in the farmers
barn
Eyaporated milk is now generally
recognized as the freshest milk avail
able to those not living on farms and
producing their own milk. For fresh
ness in milk means purity.
Transportation of milk from the
dairy country to the city is we'll syste-
matized and rapid and yet owing to
the immense quantities of milk that
must be rushed in daily, much of 1t
must be obtained at considerable dis
tances and a large per cent Is neces-
sarily some days old when 1t is de-
livered by the milkman.
Evaporated milk, on the other hand,
is last nights nd this mornings milk.
From the dairy barn, always under
rigid inspection, it Is hurried by farm
ers to factories located in the heart of
the dairy country and delivered when
it Is fresh. Evaporated milk is canned
lust at It's freshest moment" when
1t is in its finest state. 1t is never
allowed to get old. The whole proc
ess from COW to can requires only
few hours. 1t may be interesting to
know that the process of sterilizlng
takes place after the milk has been
sealed in It's containers Once in its
sterilized containers, there is no pos
sibllity of deterioration.
The sterilizlng of evaporated milk
lnsures its purlty--it makes safe
milk for the children. Eyaporated
milk is boiled milk. and this makes 1t
more digestible.
1t may be used for any milk need
with safety and economy.
For ordinary cream needs. use 1t
just as 1t comes from the can. When
rich milk is desired. add an equal
part of water For cooking and bak
ing, two parts water and one part milk
will usually suffice

bookings greatest tilts OF leading
sports promoters may be hurled into
a New York ring during the outdoor
season when Tex Richard pits his
forces against the crater of Charles
S. Henderson, now rising in Long
Island City to seat 10000 spectators
When questioned in regard to the
impending war of promoters those
who make a living out of other mems
battles in the ring are reticent, yet
hint that there must be something
besides prospects behind the invest
ment of Henderson, other words.
that he hold definite promises in
writing. What is the only sort Of
contest that will fill that new arena
and make it pay for itself? they ask.
And the answer Comes-a heavy
weight championship bout
Surely there is no base ball aud
track competition, and for this year,
at least, no foot ball contest re-
curing such large seating capacity.
These sports have been scheduled, the
scenes decided upon. Only Yale
Harvard a Harvard Princeton or q
Yale-Princeton gridiron battle could
expect to attract such throng. And
these are not for professional sport
stadiums.
Therefore, the boxing world be-
lieves that Henderson has been prom
Used a championship bout-a heavy
weight affair.
Both Richard and Henderson have
let it be known that Dempsey will
box for them this Summer, with
Tommy Gibbons and Harry Wills
mentioned as opponents, and now
comes the story from underground,
yet oftimes reliable sources of box
ing information that Manager Jack
Kearns is with Henderson and Cham
pion Jack Dempsey is with Richard.
And, furthermore, it is whispered
that perhaps Kearns is interested
financially in the construction of the
new arena in Long Island City. Dan
McKetrick, always considered the
Eastern representative of kearns and
Dempsey, is matchmaker for Hender-
son.
