One touch Of nature makes the
whole world kin and one touch
of winter made all Vashon Island
shiver.
The most pleasant music is to
hear the hens cackle when they
are laying eggs.
We are glad that Axel Petersen

GO business and have every con.
'idence in his ability to run same
successfully.
Reckless auto drivers should
axe notice that if they do not
;pecdily amend their ways the re
iult will be some severe reStric-
ions that will penalize not only
themselves but also the great ma
jority who drive carefully. hear
complaints on the way in which
certain young drivers tear around
corners and bends in the road, if
more caution is not exercised we
will have to record some fatal ac-
cident one of these days.
And now come the air flivers.

she necessity of keeping one eye on

That was a well written piece
out Queen Mellisa and the hap

THEIR GOLDEN
WEDDING DAY.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Beall, sr. Keep
Open House To Hundreds Of
Friends On Monday Eve

Monday evening, January 9th,
was ladies' night, and gentle
mems night, and children's night,
and old folks night, and young
folks night, and rich people Is
night, and poor peoples S night, and
proved 10 be a happy night foI
nearly the entire population OF tle
island. 1t was the fifticth ami
vcrsary of the marriage of Lewis
Cass Beall, Sr. and Miss Jean Mar
tin, who were wed in the state OF
Maryland January 5th, 1875. In
this day of change and novelty,
for one man and one woman to
live together for fifty years is a
happy exception to the marital
rule. But Mr., and Mrs. Beall
have proved the exception, have
reared most honorable family,
and now in their declining pilgli
mage through life, find themselves
at the head of perhaps the biggest
industry on the island, and count
their friends by merely counting
the population Of the island. Such
is "a consumation devoutly to be
wished, I" and the spontaneity with
which their neighbors and friends
responded to the invitation to
spend the evening in the comfort
able Beall home, is an evidence oi
the fact that everyone wishes this
pioneer family the best the world
can give.
The house was lighted from
basement to garrct, the kitchen
was laden with all manner of de
lectable refreshments, there Mas
music everywhere, a number OF
fitting presents We're brought to
evidence the good will of the don
ors, every face wore smile, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Beall were wished
many more happy wedding ami
velsalies, as the guests reluct-
antly depa ed for their respec-
tive homes.

TEST OF WAVES MADE
IN OPERATING RADIO
Daylight Conditions of Less Effect
OH Short Than on Long Lengths
in Signaling.

SOUTH MANCHESTER Conn, Jan
uary 9.--Thst daylight conditions do
not have as great an effect on short
radio waves as they do on long waves
Is indicated blythe experience of John
Ia ReinartZ, who has just succeeded
in transmitting signals across the
continent on q wave length Of only
81 meters.
Reception Of his short-wave signals
under ordinary daylight conditions
have been reported by two Western
amateurs-F. c. Jones of 1922 Hearst
avenue, Berkeley, Calf, and Hewitt
Svotewohl OF Hartley, Iowa. The
same signals were likewise reported
by William Justice Lee of Winter
Park. Fla. All of this transmission
took place on Sunday, December p.
For the last two years amateurs
have been attempting to relay code
messa ges across the country in day
light, but their efforts were not very
successful. The American Radio Re-
lay League organized the tests during
which signals were transmitted from
one station to another on the longer
waves. In some cases the messages
were started from the East and West
coasts simultaneously.
Mr.. Reinartz, who is the inventor Of
the Reinartz tuner, has been expert
menting with short waves for some
time, and the fact that his signals
were transmitted the entire distance
without relayinG is regarded as being
an important demonstration OF the
value Of the extremely short waves
for daylight work. Mr. Reinartz was
the designer Of the transmittcr which
made possible the first two-way anna
teur communication across the At
lantic.

Such higher voltages will not in

STUDY IN PSYCHOLOGY.
Some Operators Tell Of Copying
Different Messages.

Some curious psychology is in
volved in the claim made by many
experienced radio operators that they
can copy two different code messages
at the same time. Many psycholog-
ical phenomena suggest that the
mind may operate, at times, s though
it contained separate compartments,
each Of which is occupied with a
different task.
An example is the ability of many
musicians to play difficult music and
carry on n conversation at the same
time. 1t would be interesting if one
Of these operators who can receive
two different messages at the same
time would allow his ability to be
studied thoroughly by competent
psychologist, The results might lead
