intensity. Waves changed their di-
rection. Broadcasts faded in and
out. Static increased and decreased.
Some stations got longer distance
Others could hardly be heard.
1t was all a tumble, out of which
scientists are trying to discover
some relationship between the sun
and radio, or between the effect of
light and that of dark on radio.
In collaboration with the Ameri-
can Astronomical Society, the Scien,
tific American is collecting informa-
ton from radio fans that may help
eventually in deciding some salient
fact relative to the eclipse. and the
radio. More reports are wanted
from every fan who happened to be
J listening in on the morning of jan
uary "a.
DIR. E. E. Free, noted scientist and
editor of the Scientific American,
however, makes the following cur
sorry analysis:
Il. Some stations report increases
of signal strength during the eclipse.
while others report decreases.
"2. Direction finders ord
changes in direction of waves from
known stations.
"3. Stations with special appara-
tus report swings of wave direction,
indicating their arrival first from
one side of the eclipse shadow, then
from the other side.
"A. Most pronounced effects on
wavelengths appear to be on those
in the intermediate band for broad
casting
IS. Long waves apparently were
unaffected by the eclipse, while short
waves were apparently SO much .af-
fected that transmission seemed to
cease altogether"
In contrast to this, however, DIR.
j. H. Dellinger, chief of United
States Bureau of Standards radio
laboratory, who conducted special
eclipse observations reports the 'phe-
nomenon seemed to increase greatly
the intensities of long and short
wavelengths, while the medium fire.
quencies seemed to show no appar-
ent effect.
DIR. Dellinger agrees with DR..
Frees report that signals shifted
during the time of totality
Contrary to expectations, static
increased. That's what the Ameri-
can Radio Relay League reports.
Much Fading
Signals faded in and out during
totally and for two or three min
utes after, the report continues.
Most of the A. r., r. Il. amateurs,
working on high frequencies, re-
ported a drop in the signal strength,
despite the contrary finding of the
bureau of standards. Others, how
ever, noticed no change.
Out of all this material, the most
interesting to scientists is the varia-
tiCn in direction Of signals, and the
confusion of observations as to sig
nal strength.
Both these phenomena are be-
lieved to result from what scientists
call the interference OF ether
waves"

Cat Has Gained Fame
as Weather Prophet

Ever since the total eclipse of tile

wholesome respect for Weathervane,
the meteorological cat of East Hamp-

dent Coolidge by It's owner, Louis
James. the Boston Transcript says.
The cat predicted fair weather for
the eclipse when all the astronomers

tons from loss If the rain should come

Weathervane was founding and

Hampton and taken to warehouse in
that village. Mr.. Hughes told Richard
Gillon, an employee. to give the cat

claims he showed the cat thermom-

Later Louis James took the cat
home 10 his wife, who gave it some
catnlp and three meals a day. The
cat thriyed under this treatment and
soon began to predict the weather with
success that bade fair to rival that

so FAR, so GOOD!

We publish an item this week of
the installation of the new high
power transmission line of the New
Jersey Power & Light Co. from
Pennsylvania to Glen Gardner, N.
J. This is fine
But in the meantime the transmits
sion line from Glen Gardner to
Pennington and Lambertville and In
termediate points remains the same
hap hazard line of poles thru
swamps and over hills where "every
stormy wind that blows" can put
our lights out.
During March we had three
days shutdown due to high waters
in the Raritan where these insecure
poles washed out According to re
ports, these same poles remain in
the same unstable positions, subject
to the same destructive waters when
they next go on rampage.
We will be more interested in
learning that q new transmission
line has been erected FROM Glen
Gardner than to hear that one has
been installed TO Glen Gardner.
During the storm last Saturday
evening the service was interrupted
as usual, and had it not been for the
emergency connection recently in
stalled over the river bridge where
by current can be relayed from New
Hope, we would have been without
lights perhaps all night. And yet
it took them two years to decide
that this emergency connection was
important.

Congress not only should not in

the rates on second-class matter.

Robert Ewing, of New Orleans, and

Major Stahlman declared that
newspaper costs have been rising

papers to pay postage and white
paper costs. The cost of publication
has virtually doubled since 1914

HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT

Once upan time capitalist de-
cided to take an extended vacation.
He went for trip around the
world, and before he left he gave
large sums Of money to three of his
trusted employees, telling them to
use it or invest it in a way to
make more money for them and him
self.
One invested his money in equip
ment for a manufacturing plant. He
ran the plant on profit, served the
community with the produce, and
when his employer returned he had
a nice bank account beside a profit
able plant to turn over to him.
The other invested in real es-
tate, stocks and bonds, thus supply
ing funds for the development of
the business of other people. And
he too had big balance in the bank
to turn over to his employer when
he returned from his trip around the
world.
But the third, like dizzy, dumb
Dora, crammed his money into a
sock and sneaked off and hid it in
rat hole.
When the boss returned he ask
ed for an accounting from his three
employees. The first two presented
admirable reports and bank balances
that caused the boss to award them
a big chunk of the dividends.
But the dopey goof who hid his
money in sock came shopping in
like an egg-sucking puppy, hanging
his head in shame. The boss got
one eye-full of this slmey toad and
planted a swift kick in the seat of
his pants.
He catapulted out of the door and
landed in garbage wagon. Before
he had recovered from the shock,
the garbage wagon had dumped its
load into the muck of swamp and
drove away, leaving the sinking
boob to his fate.
MORAL: It's mighty dirty sock
that can't be worn in public.

DETOURS COSTLY AND
OFTEN DANGEROUS

The high cost and inconvenience
caused by road detours is an i'm
portant matter in considering the
economy of different paving mater
ials. There is a constant increasing
liability involved where the travel
ing public is forced to go over
long and dangerous detours for ex-
tended periods of time.
To eliminate this hazard there is
a growing tendency to adopt paving
methods and materials which do not
cause detours and delays for traf-
