Tests of Is Months
Show That Moonlight
is "RadiO Wrecker'

Moonlight, commodity generally
believed to worry nobody but the writ
ers of popular songs, today was re-
vealed in new role as a radio wreck
er.
Preliminary tests for the national
survey of fading and static to be con-
Quoted by the Stewart Warner Speed
ometer Corporation in cooperation
with Northwestern University, Dept
of Physics, on the nights of February
9, 10 and II from 8 to IL, of 1925
central standard time, brought unex-
pected reports on the insidious activ-
tiles of the moon.
Published reports of private inquir-
les into the causes of disturbances that
prevent good radio reception so far
have dealt with the manner in which
atmospheric conditions are changed by
sun spots, comets and eclipses. Even
the aurora borealis has been investi-
gated, but it has never been suggested
that the phases of the moon might
have anything to do with the adenoidal
performance Of distant sopranos.
r. G. Therrien, an electrical engin-
eer, Of Chicago, today forwarded to
J. K. Smith, director of the national
tests, a report covering period of
eighteen months. He suggested that
it be investigated during the February
tests and possible at other times dur
ing the year.
Eighteen months ago I discovered
quite accidentally that distance re-
ception was almost impossible on a
night when the moon was full and
high in the sky, said Mr.. Therrien in
his report. 81 thought, of course,
that this might be merely coinci-
dence, but | remembered what had
learned regarding the magnetic effect
of the moon on the tides, and it oc-
Cured to me that such a visible cleo
trical display ought to have def
mite influence on the ionized stratum of
atmosphere or whatever it is that
carries on, defects or blocks radio
waves. So | watched closely. Each
Silent Night | made careful note of
reception conditions and lunar phases
and gradually | built up the evidence
to show that my supposition was at
least worthy of further investigation.
II discovered that during the sum-
mer we frequently had nights free
from static. despite warm, sultry
weather. Invariably, such nights
were those when the moon was in the
first or last quarter. | discovered al
so that many nights which began with
the atmposhere perfectly dead, so
far as radio reception was concerned,
showed marked improvement later in
the night when the moon had gone
closer to the horizon. "The night of
December 18th Of last year was typ
ical one. The air was crisp, cold and
clear and there was no appreciable
moisture-in spite of which it was i'm
possible to pick up any but the most
powerful distant stations and very few
of those. The moon was just ap-
preaching fullness. For two hours it
was impossible to hear anything but

COOLIDGE SIGNS SEGREGATED
BATHING BILL; N.A.A.C.P. AP-
PEALS TO MADDEN

Neval Thomas, president of the
Washington Branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, reports that despite
earnest protests, President Coolidge
has signed the Bill providing for seq
regated bathing beaches in Washing
ton.
The N.A.A.CP. is appealing to
Representative Martin B. Madden, Of
Illinois, to see to it that the colored
bathing beach is located in as favor
able place as the white. The Wash
ington N.A.A.C.P. in its letter to Mr..
Madden, says:
"Since we have lost our fight against
governmental segregation, we appeal to
you to defend US from the natural con-
sequences of the system, namely, in
ferior situation and facilities. This
can be done by a provision in the
appropriation act for placement Of the
segregated beaches. The same beau
tiful public driveway on which the
white beach is to be located should be
deemed appropriate for both beaches.
The spurious argument OF building the
colored beach at the germ-ridden Buz-
yards Point, / am sure, will not
deceive you The proposed white beach
in our spacious park, with its vast
stretches OF pleasing shades, will not
be near the white population, 50 We
fail to appreciate the solicitude for
giving us the fictitious proximity to the
'coIored population simply to keep US
from this great public reservation.
Representative Madden is chairman
Of the committee on appropriations in
the House Of Representatives and col
ored citizens are urged to write to him
asking for favorable location for the
bathing beach.

original receipts are sent to the mailing
department. The duplicate receipts are
sorted numerically and experts mark
the individual items paid on the tax
records. Another force rechecks this
stamping, and third check is made
in the auditing department. Warrant
clerks must sign their names to each
duplicate when they mark the taxes
paid, and the system is so perfected
that it is impossible for any clerk
wrongfully to mark taxes paid without
detection. Each piece Of property
listed is given an Office number, and
personal property items are specially
stamped, and all unpaid items are list
ed with the states attorney for col
lection.
The work could not possibly be ac-
complished without real system and
discipline. 1t is probable that few
business institutions require the same

Concrete evidence of the healthy in
crease in Cook County real estate, a
growth that would be hailed as boom
in California, Florida and other states,
is found in the records of my Office.
Taxes are being paid this year on
approximately 100000 more pieces of
property than in 1925. That means
that there are about $4,000 new proper
ty owners in the county, largely ex-
planned by the enormous increase in
the number of new subdivisions in the
outlying districts of Chicago and in
territory contiguous to the city. Every
indication is that the growth will con-
tinue as new subdivisions are being
opened monthly, and the rush Of peo-
pie of moderate means to invest their
money in real estate shows no sign OF
abatement.
An idea of the number Of new or
prospective home owners is found in
the fact that last year taxes were paid
on 866,o46 pieces Of property and this
year the number of pieces of tax-pay-
ing property will be approximately
965,00O. About 1000 new subdivisions
have been opened in two years and
most Of the property sold to small
lot owners.
Paying taxes each year is a cere-
mony with many people, particularly
those who have owned property for
many years and who would not feel
secure unless they personally called al
the Office of the County Treasurer who
is the county collector and received
personal attention. However, with the
great increase in the number of tax
payers, if everyone insisted on paying
at the county building, there would
be almost riots for two weeks during
which most of the tax money is taker
in, and many people would be injured
in the rushes. 1t would be an impos-
sible situation.
To meet the increased demand or
the facilities Of my office, / have great.
ly elaborated the plan of encouraging
people to pay their taxes at branch
offices. The following figures show
the increase in business handled at the
banks which are designated as
branches of the County Treasurer's Of
fce:
In 1915, 81 branches received 1886
bills, amounting to $2,156.669.14; in
1925, 155 branches received 2oo, ,384
bills, amounting to $25.7O9 sSoIO; in
1926. 172 branches received 256,04S'
bills, amounting to $27,851 ,2o3.81.
+This number viii be greatly in
creased when the banks have made
their final reports.
The receipts of the County Treas
urer are approximately $1sO,OOO.OOC
annually. This requires an enormous
amount Of labor and bookkeeping. The
business is one that teens with techni-
calities, and in the main it can be
handled only by experts or men 81

acted business at my Office convince
me that my efforts in that direction
have succeeded and are appreciated.
There have been times in previous
years when taxpayers had to stand in
line for hours before they could be ac-
commodated. Under our new system
no one should be required to wait more
than ten or fifteen minutes, even dur
ing the greatest rush"
The system of dealing with the tax
payers has been practically reorgan-
lied by us. One OF the greatest i'm
provements was the installation Of
cash register auditing machines that
are almost human in their perfection
and operation. My assistants and l
worked with the officials of cash reg
lister company for two years before
they could build machine that would
meet my requirements.
This machine has so speeded up the
work Of the Office that it is possible
for the city, county, board of educa-
ton and other branches Of the Govern
ment to receive their proportion of the
collections several months earlier than
in previous years, thereby saving them
large sums of interest money on tax
anticipation warrants. 1t might be
said incidentally that during my adj
ministration, the Office of the County
Treasurer has become an institution of
profit and not loss. The approximate
net earnings over and above all of the
appropriation for my Office during my
administration are $13,085, ,379.54.
The cash register machines referred
to receive the tax bills, stamp them
paid, divide the payments for both
general and personal property taxes
according to towns, carry the totals
for each division and stamp the amount
on separate cards and sheets, as well
as separate the original bills from the
duplicates. 1t is possible at the end Of
each day to know to a cent the
amount of money taken in and to make
prompt balances. Tax payers watching
the machines handle their bills marvel
at their ingenuity.
During the weeks when the tax rush
is on, approximately $50 clerks, audi
tors, bookkeepers and tellers are EN-.
ployed. I borrow expert machine op-
orators from the banks for special
technical work. During the busy sea
son the work goes on for twenty-foul
hours each day. One crew starts work
at 8 o'clock in the morning, another
goes on duty at o'clock in the after
noon and a third force works from
10 o'clock at night until o'clock the
next morning
One Of my requirements is that
every letter received, and thousands
come in every day, must be answered
the same day, and with the exception
of the last few days Of the rush, every
tax receipt must Be mailed out the day
following the receipt of the money OF
check
Bills for every piece OF property are
made out in advance, with duplicates
for each one. Originals are mailed out
to property owners and duplicates kept
in our Office for those who do not re-
ceive originals. When the bills are
returned with money or checks, they
go to the cash register machines. The

Modify Immigration Laws

While in most respects restrictive immigration
law is wise legislation, there are some revisons
necessary. The quota from the more desirable ma
tions should be greater. North Dakota has many
thousands of u9cccuped acres fertile and access
ibc to markets. There are good farmers in North
crn Europe who would welcome opportunity in
Western United States but are prohibited by the
strict immigration law.
The Greater North Dakota Association well
direct its efforts in behalf of revision cf the federal
immigration laws. Quotas from desirable Euro
pcan countries should be enlarged. Unless such
action is taken, it is going to be hard to set
tiers for the agricultural regions.
North Dakota support several thousand moro
farmers, and settlers needed to bring the re-
sources Of this state into full production.

COmmendable Action

School superintendent in session at Washing
ton u. c.. have urged legislatures not to pass laws
which would restrict the scope Of the curriculum.
Especially the resolutions passed aimed at
anti Darwinian legislatures.
The resolutions commendabc because free
dom of education is as essential as freedom Of the
press Of the pulpit. To circun,scrbc and harass
educational institutions would be to return t.
medieval conditions.
This paragraph has the true ring and should be
welcomed by those who believe in the freedom Of
education:
"Only that education can be free which provides.
under conditions appropriate to the age Of the stu
dent, complete liberty to seek the answer to any
honest question. We would respectfully remind
our fellow citizens that while legislation seeking
to control the subject matter Of the Curriculum may
impede educational progress, it has not the power
to alter, modify, set aside any immutable law CT
nature, of science, or Of God"

The Gold Rush Is On

A gold rush is on.
Dispatches from Ontario tell of scramble tina.
may rival the famous days Of '9S. The town Of
Hudson, near Lac Seu, is the jumping off place
Red Lake, isolated stretch Of water $50 miles
distant, is the goal. monster vein of rich quartz
has been discovered, and enthusiasm is running
high.
At this time of year it is bitter cold around Red
Lake. The mercury frequently drops to 60 below
zero. There wide stretches Of wilderness where
an ill-equppcd or luckless prospector can get lost
and starve to death. if he does not freeze or en-
counter wolf pack first There are bzzards of an
intensity that dwellers farther south can hardly
conceive; there are discOmforts and small hardshps
by the score to sandwich in between the dangers.
The country in winter is another Alaska.
And yet there will b. no dearth of men to make
the trip. At Hudson, it is said, dog teams are in
so great demand that single good husky will
bring from 800 to $500. Each train brings i'm new
adventures.
Now on the surface it would hardly seem as though
there were anything particularly selfsacrificng or
altruistic about the who vcnturing into the
northland. They are going for 4 perfectly tangible
object-to get gold and make themselves wealthy
At first glance it as though it was just an
other scramble for money.
And yet the story Of the gold rush makes ones
heart thrill, somehow
comes as welcome relief this story Of adj
venture. These men are after gold to be sure as
all ct us are but at least they arc daring death
enduring discomfort and toll, risking all they own
many Of them, to get it. They proving once
more for US that he spirit of man is ndomitablc
strangely fine, ready to risk life ofhand if the right
chord can be touched.
& And it is hardly gold in its ordinary sense tina.
these men seek. It is not merely the prospect Of
becoming wealthy that draws them to the bleak
north country. 1t is less than that--and more. Ad-
venture is in the air; chance to pioneer, to roam
the wilderness and fight the storms and touch hands
with death in new land.
1t was SO in the great rush to the California gold
fields and the Nevada silver lodes in 40; it was SO
in the mighty trek to Alaska in the closing days
CT the last century; it is so now in Ontario The
strong men. the fearless men, the dev-may care
men--they have heard the call and they are on the
way.
So we're glad to read about them. A gold rush
is a welcome contrast to everyday, humdrum
safe, riskless pursuits.
4 May every prospector make lucky strike!
