BABY TIDAL WAVE
BROWNS 2 SWIMMERS

CHICAGO, July 1.-two hum
dred thousand bathers who sought
relief from the heat along the thirty
miles Of Chicago beaches were
thrown into panic when q mild
tidal wave swept over Lake Michi-
gan.
r. w. Delaney, director Of Clar-
endon Beach, characterized the uri-
usual action as q baby tidal
wave His opinion was confirmed
BY other experts.
At intervals Of fifteen to thirty
minutes the lake level dropped
two and one-haIf feet and the water
receded from seventy-five to one
hundred feet from the normal
water line. In less than two min.
utes portions Of the beach that nau
been under water would be bare
sand for one hundred feet or more.
Mr.. Delaney said such action had
hbeen noticed before, but never 80
pronounced nor for such a pro-
lOnged period
Two swimmers who failed to heed
warnings Of life guards rot to go
beyond certain line. were drowned
during the tidal action.

YOUNG ARTISTS FORM
SEVEN ARTS CLUB HERE
Miss Yvonne Townsend Is Leader
in Movement to Organize Capital
Group; Members Listed.

Miss Yvonne Townsend, talented
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend, has organized a novel club Of
young people engaged in professional
work and calls it the Club of the Seven
Arts A meeting of the group was held
Saturday night in the studio of George
Dixon Thompson. well known young
pianist
The object of the club is to get to-
gether the younger people who are do
ing professional work in some branch of
art or music for informal discussion Of
those topics and participation in short
programs. No member of the club is of
amateur rating, although some of the
members are as yet unable to work at
their art entirely independent of other
sources of income.
Among those listed in the membership
to date are: Eloise Russell, young Scotch
pianist; George Dixon Thompson and
Sidney Clark, also pianists Ruth Peters,
Emily Marsh and Helen Bardee, So
pranos: Frederick Stevens and Feland
Cannon, baritones; Mabel Duncan. cell
list: Florence Thompson, Judy Lyeth
and Evelyn Davis, dancers; Prentiss
Taylor, stage designing and painting !;
Helen Fetter, music editor of The Eve
ming Star; Theodore Cannon, Washing
ton correspondent for the Musical
Courier; Wilbur Underwood, poet T.
Guy Lucas. organist, and Miss Town
send. who is skillful pianist, writer Of
short stories and a clever painter of por-
traits.

Mechanical oscillations can be pro-
duced In various ways. II a hack
saw blade or other springy material is
clamped in g. wise at one end and the
other end is pulled TO one side and
let go, the blade will swing to and
fro very vigorously for while, uni
formly to one side and the other, but
the distance that the free end travels
diminishes until finally IL dies out
altogether and the blade returns to
rest once more.
The same movement is found in a
pendulum. If pendulum Is sus-
pended freely and started in vibra-
ton, IL will vibrate for while, but
gradually II will return to rest.
If a string Of a musical instrument
is set into vibration, II also Will VI
brate for a while and then finally ex-
pand the energy impaired to It and
return to rest.
A tuning fork Of the type used to
obtain a standard note OF given
frequency for tuning a musical In
strument will behave in a similar way.
1t is possible, however, by impart-
ing additional energy to vibrating
pendulum. vibrating reed or tuning
fork to KEEP the member in vibra-
ton with the same amplitude or dis
tance OF travel.
In the pendulum it may be done by
a clock spring and gear train or es-
capement arrangement. In the tun-
ing fork 1t may be done electro
magnetically by q circuit in which
the vibrating fork acts as a means
of closing an electric circuit which
operates an electromagnetic. which
imparts the additional mechanical
energy to the tuning fork.
In an electrical circuit similar
means may be used to build UP the

RADIO AMATEUR SIGNALS
OVER OCEAN IN DAYLIGHT
Code Transmitter Successfully
Operated When Waves Were at
Lowest Normal Strength.

SOUTH MANCHESTER, Conn,
March 3-In broad daylight. at 10
am, Eastern standard time, when
radio waves generally reach out with
only a small percentage of their nor
NAL strength on account of the dead
ening effect of the suns rays, John
L. Reinartz, inventor and radio anna
teur of this place, succeeded in send
ing signals from his code transmitter
across the Atlantic Ocean. He used
wave length of 81 meters, further
proving his theory that the very short
waves can be as effective In daylight
as the longer waves are at night
This feat is the elimination of many
months of experimenting, during
which Reinartz has been cooperating
with the Navy Department and anna
teur members of the American Radio
Relay League. His success in being
heard across the Atlantic in daylight
was confirmed by the American Ra-
dio Relay League following receipt
of a radiogram from a British oper-
ator. His signals were picked UP with
great reliability by F.. A. Mayer, radio
amateur of Wexford. Essex, England.
At the time, of course. the signals
were in broad daylight all of the
way.
The American Radio Relay League
believes that these experiments by
Reinartz have done more than any
thing else to prove that the short
waves promise eventually complete
relief from daylight troubles. A few
months ago Reinartz's signals were
heard in daylight across the CONT
nent by jan amateur living near the
West Coast. His work is regarded
as the most important radio develop
ment since amateurs in Europe and
the United States began to exchange
messages across the Atlantic Ocean
in both directions on short waves.

oscillations ard keep them at given
amplitude throughout.
While radio broadcasting is a COM
paratively late development, the fun
damentals on which 1t is based,
namely, the production of wave mo-
ton in the ether through the use of
electrical oscillations in circuits, were
discovered almost a century ago.
About IS years ago Joseph Henry
showed that electrical motion of an
oscillatory nature could be trans
mitted to a considerable distance.
Later William Thomson showed
mathematically that electricity in
motion is governed by reactions SINH
lar to those which govern the action
of material masses in motion.
The work of Heinrich Hertz with
oscillatory discharges advanced the
art of transmission and reception by
means of oscillatory electrical mo-
ton still further. and finally resulted
In the remarkable results obtained by
Gugglielmo Marconi in the transmits
sion Of signals with oscillatory cleo
trical motions as the governing ele-
ment in the creation OF electro-mag-
netfo and electro-static waves in the
ether.
The method Of producing and de-
tecting electrical oscillation in the
ether were known when Marconi be-
gan his work, but the most efficient
method of producing the oscillations
in the ethor or of collecting the en-
ergy transmitted had not been de-
veloped, so that with the materials
at hand II was possible to transmit
and receive only over very short dis
tances-distances too small to max e
wireless transmission and reception
practical
Marconfs greatest contribution to
the radio art was the introduction OF
the aerial system for transmission
and reception.

all the money that colds al
ways cost. It's the cheapest,
easiest, safest way to handle
colds.
Just squeeze the juice of a
lemon in glass or cup of hot
water. The effectiveness of
hot lemonade is due to more
than its heat. Add sugar if
you wish.
Get 4 dozen lemons now

Ask for California lemons,
