The idea Of entertaining the grand
lodge Of the York Rite had not been
considered BY the Livingston lodge
men, it is said by officers Of that
body, until the offer Of q visitation
from the WoodlaWn band was receiv-
ed. The band visited Livingston en-
route TO the national conclave at
Seattle last year. So much did the
band appreciate c~Ourtesies extended
by the people Of Livingston that they
declared at that time they would
some day employ 8 special train to
bring them back to the "most hos
pitable city in the United States"
Frank w. Haskns, grand COM
mander has advised the Livingston
cOmmandery that formal acceptance
Of the invitation win be made when
Masonic bodies meet.

MAY OVERCOME
HANDTCAPS BEFORE
TESTS NEXT YEAR
Chairman Of international Radio
Committee Pleased With
1925 Test Results

Results of the resent international
Radio week tests are being tabulated
for the information of the thousands
Of radio listeners and hundreds Of
broadcasting stations which parti-
cipatcd in the event. Transmission
and reception were severely handi-
capped through atmospheric inter
ference but Powell Crosley, Jr., chair
man of the executive committee, upon
returning from a conference with
those in charge of the work in New
York City, expressed himself a. be-
ing pleased with the results. In a
statement given out before he left
for a months vacation he said:
1.-THE possibility of another test next
year will be discussed at the meeting
Of the organization in charge Of the
annual radio week in Atlantic City on
May 10. The thousands Of listeners
who participated in the tests had the
opportunity to study the difficulties
encountered by those in charge of'the
tests-atmospheric and man-made in
reference, as well as the "outlaw"
and joker broadcasters. Engineers are
already working upon the elimination
Of disturbances which interfered with
distant reception.
Despite all the h~inderances, the
tests were successful from the view
point Of advancement of the radio
art and there is no question of the
value of the data which are being
gathered from the thousands of re-
ports made by listeners. Both bene-
d. fitted through the tests because OF
the exceptional quality Of the pro.
grams offered"

THE LANGUAGE
OF music

Radio has opened up two new
languages to many people, that of
electricity and that of music. Elec-
trical terms, as applied specifically
to the technical art of radio, have
been explained so often in the radio
magazines that any reader can readily
inform himself as to their meaning.
But to those who have not had a
musical education many musical
words are confusing. This is espec-
tally so as most of the technical terms
employed in music are of an Italian
origin because much Of the early de-
velopment of music was accomplished
in Italy.
A knowledge of these terms adds
to an appreciation and understanding
of the music to which they refer. To
know that a barcarole is a boat song
whose RHYTHM pictures the water lap
ping against the sides Of a Venetian
gondola or that a berceuse is a cradle
song or lullaby, gives a clue to the
meaning of the music itself.
Many of the cOmmoner terms in
dictate the manner in which the COM
position should be performed so as tC
bring out the composers thought
Thus allegro represents a rapid rhy-
thin, adagio slowness, and andante &
medium pace. Forte means loud

sUPER-POwER BROADCAsTING

AS its contribution towards the
solution of the problems of both a
national and international broadcast
ting service, the Radio Corporation of
America has erected an experimental,
powerful ~broadcasting station at
Bound Brook, N. J. It's aim is to
demonstrate the utility of sVperpower
transmission in radio broadeasting,
and to determine to what extent a
system Of superpower stations, Joined
by wire or eventually connected By
radio relay, would meet the need Of a
nationwide service, Definite con-
illusions developed from broadcasting
tests Of this station cannot yet be
announced, but evidence produced BY
$4,000 letters received BY the Radio
corporation from ~listeners-in indicate
that these experimental demonstra-
tons Of superpower broadcasting have
been extraordinarily successful.

The building is a two-rOOm cement
structure, splendidly eusipped. There
are inside toilets, and a fountain sup
plying drinking water for the chill
dren. There is a fine library, a Vic
trOla, piano, moving picture machine,
the finest playground equipment in
the valley, and a large tennis court.
There is a very fine duplex teach
erage beside the schOOlhOuse, which
was built two years ago. The people
in the community are very loyal in
their support Of the school.
Miss Pearle Peatling is the teacher
Of the Trident school. There are
twenty-five pupils attending this
year. When the cement plant is in
operation, there is sufficient enroll
ment to warrant the services Of two
teachers, but this year the mill is
closed and Miss Peatling has charge
of the entire school.
