Artistic Adventuring
If she goes she will probably be
with Mrs. Joseph Stoddard, of
Washington, who has a camp in
the New Hampshire hills and who
has an interesting group of people
with her this summer. Among
them are several young painters
who are studying with Peppino
Mangravite-an artist well known
to Washington-in his studio near
by. Mrs. Stoddard's daugter, Miss
Ruth Stoddard, has artistic gifts
and studied last winter in New
York, but I am not sure whether
or not she was ever q pupil of
Mangravite.
At all events, this young artist,
who first came to Washington
some years ago, has built up a
vogue as a painter Of
portraits and more especially as a
teacher of painting. He has been
successful with children,
and has rather revolutionary ideas
about putting the mediums of his
art in the hands Of lifted youngsters
and allowing their talents to de.
velop along individualistic lines,
with no attempt at coercion, but
an inspiring sort Of guidance.

The radio transmission from Rocky
Point is on a wave length Of $3.50
meters and the transmission from
Rugby is on a wave length of $40
meters. The power used in transmit
ting from each end is about 100 kilo-
watts. Due to special system en-
ployed in these tests, an output to the
transmitting antenna of 100 kilowatts
is as efficient as 800 kilowatts would
be under the system commonly used
for radio telephone purposes.
The present series of tests is con-
tinuation of the experiments begun
three years ago and is being carried
giving regular transatlantic telephone
service. 1t is simply phase of the
study of the problem of overcoming
the great difficulty in long distance
radio telephone transmission-the ex-
IRENE variations in received signals
due to continuously changing condi-
tons in the intervening space.
At times, transmission conditions in
America, in England and throughout
the area that separates them are so
good that even comparatively low
power broadcasting stations in one
country can be picked up by radio lis
teners in the other. At other times,
conditions are so poor that no recep-
ton can be had
In their statements to the press, tele-
phone officials of both countries have
made clear that it is not possible to
predict how soon transoceanic tele-
phone service can be made available.
1t is perfectly obvious that much in
tensive work remains to be done be-
fore an American telephone subscrib-
er can take his receiver off its hook
and call up friend in London or vice
versa. This work is under way-the

plant telephone employees had COM
pleted the initial course.
The men were then formed into
teams which were drilled for competi-
ton with the teams Of each district.
In turn the districts were to compete
with the teams Of other districts and
in this way, great deal of interest
was worked up among the forces. The
forming of men into teams and prac-
ticing to perfect their individual, as
well as the team, work with eyes set
for the goal of supremacy in the or
ganization, was an incentive of tre-
mendous value. Step by step through
the units Of organization these teams
have fought their way to the top--the
successful team becoming the district
champions and holders of the first aid
cup for proficiency in first aid
In the contests which are held in
the spring of each year, the teams
representing their districts are given
problems, the nature of which are I'M
known before hand, with Instructions
to prepare the patient for transporta-
ton to the nearest hospital For in
stance, a patient may be supposed to
have sustained a severed artery,
fractured limb and sever shock Band
ages and splints are placed, the in
jured man is warmly covered and
placed on a stretcher. In many cases
stretchers are made Of tools, with
which the men work, put together with
overall jackets or coats, and in this
way, the patient is prepared for trans
portation.
With such courses worked along a
we'll organized plan, telephone men
have eliminated hundreds of serious
accidents among their fellow work
men, and have been of material assist
ance in many accident cases with the
public. Hardly day passes that some
telephone employee does not render
first aid to the public.
Those who have witnessed such con
tests cannot help being impressed
with the interest with which the men
carry on the work of accident proven
ton and first laid. They realize the
value to themselves, and vie with each
other in demonstrating their ability to
assist humanity in distress.

The difference in time, phraseology,
pronunciation and wave lengths
played an important part in the recent
transatlantic radio telephone tests.

Fading Goldfish.

Have you ever noticed that the
beautifully tinted, red-gold goldfish,
which you bought at the store and
feed with little papery flakes every
morning, sometimes gradually fades
out and turns a dingy silver and
finally leaden? No healthy goldfish
would behave in this disgraceful way.
Some ingenious person discovered
that not only could you dye carnations
green and sweetpeas orange, but that
you could take the common, ordinary
carp and tint it into a nice little Japa-
nese goldfish. Very pretty while it
lasts.
Now what do you known about that?
