THE Indian jockey or typical
prairie pony rider is pic

garb Of the Indian jockey, buck

waistcoat, save a lightweight fur

No spurs and no whip, only his
war whoops" to urge his steed
on to victory. Horse racing still
is the Indians highest concep-
ton of outdoor sport, with the
possible exception Of hunting.

How Sunset Blights
Radio Communication

Next to static electricity, sunset is
the greatest deterrent to efficient
transatlantic radio telephone communi-
cation that nature exerts.c During the
past two years daily tests across the
ocean have been made.
Summarized these show that during
the winter months satisfactory CONVEX
sation can be carried on all hours of
the day with the exception OF that
period when sunset is making its
progress across the 3000-mile expanse
OF water separating the old and new
worlds. During the summer months
commercial telephone communication
is possible during the morning, evening
and night hours, exclusive of heavy
static periods, the tests show.--Cea

Sixteen Stations
in Three Minutes
Ideal Radio Receiver With
but One Main Tuning
Control.

One of the chief problems Of the
home constructor is that Of trying to
combine sensitivity with quality. 1t Is
generally admitted that the super
heterodyne represents the utmost in
sensitivity but then, on local stations
the quality is not what 1t might be.
Possibly this accounts for the fact that
many set manufacturers are no longer
making a superheterodyne model but
are going back to straight radio-fre-
quency application. Many receivers
on the market only employ a single
state Of R. F. which will be found
quite sufficient for general purposes.
Two stages will only complicate tun-
Ing, or If single control Is employed,
the full value Of the two stages is
often not obtained.

A large audience filled the Uni
Versalist church Sunday evening
when the first of three union SER
vices was held.
The meeting opened with an or
gan prelude played by Miss Eva
knowles. A mixed chorus rendered
excellent music. Rev. K. J. Mooney,
the pastor of the church read for the
scripture the 18th Chapter of Corin-
thians. Prayer was offered by Rev.
I. G. Chapman, the pastor of the
Methodist church.
The pastor of the Baptist church,
Rev. Alexander Henderson, spoke
from the words of Jesus, "Ye Hypro-
critics, Ye Know How to Interpret
the Face of the Earth and the
Heaven, But How is it that Ye Know
not How to Interpret This Time 2"
He said in part: THAT was a blind
age into which Jesus came. They
could see the significance of the ply
sical phenomena, but they could not
see the meaning of the great new
spiritual movement that was to
change the heart and mind of the
world.
Are we blind in our age?" Great
movements with Christ at the center
are sweeping forward in this our
generation. Have we eyes to see the
significance of these?"
Mr.. Henderson then spoke of the
moderp crusaGes for social juutice
and for the out!awry of the war. He
said: "A man does not have to be a
fool, a pacifist or a radical to see
that the Kingdom of God cannot
live so long as the war system is
here. We must set our faces against
the system.
The new movement for religious
education was then discussed. The
speaker said: "a great Protestant
crusade for religious education is
sweeping our country. The millions
of Protestants outside the church.,
the increasing general intelligence
and the increasing spiritual know
ledge of Protestants, the indepcnd-
ence of youth are all challenge to
our modern program of religious
education. We must have more

ton must come.
