RADIO EXPERIMENTS

Experiments being conducted by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology private es tate in New Hampshire will be of interest to all radio fans. Elaborate equ pment has been set up both for transmitting and receiving, and although the exper- ments still considered having been just begun, a ready data of interest have been collected.
 The special transmtter consists of the usual equip ment connected to unusual type of antenna which may be turned and rotated to any desired position large wooden framework carries 50foot copper tube which the actual antenna conductor. Within this framework mounted the transmitting equipment which turns with the antenna system any direction and at any ang tca or horizontal at all times exactly 25 feet off the ground.
 According to older theories of antenna performance best results would have been obtained with vertical enna This has been totally dsproved the position of the the signal If anything signals to be better with intensity is obtained when the rod is pointed North and South.
 It has been revealed that signals are more less regular when the sky is clear but weaken and dspair when certain conditions of cloudiness encountered widespread of rain, covering both transmitter and receiver, has tended to increase the intensity.
 It has also been discovered that in short length transmission to fixed receiving set there minimum length beyond which signals disappear entirely at the receiving statOn In transmission distance of 75 miles, for instance this cut off, length has been found to vary between 32 and 50 meters for different times of the day, being smallest through the afternoon

GRAND RAPIDS. November 90
"The Effect of Temperature on the De
velopment of Stages of the Mutant
Double-Infrabar of Drosophilla Me
lanogaster."
Such is the theme which Miss Marie
McCabe. an instructor in the biology
department Of Junior College, is pur.
suing, and the evidence obtained is to
be incorporated in her masters thesis
and will form a part of the chain
which eventually will determine just
what the relations Of environment to
life really are. :
The mutant double.infrabar, the
insect under observation, Is an exceed.
ingly rare species Of fruit fly 1t is
found in the normal brood of the fly
but differs from it's parents in the size
and shape of the compound eye. These
differences are transmitted through its
offspring to following generations.
Experiments along this line were
conducted by Miss McCabe at the
University of Illinois last Summer
She brought a large part of the entire
race" of mutants to Grand Rapids
This Winter. in her experiments, she
plans to change the diet, which con.
Sists of a banana and yeast prepara.
ton, to a different food to determine
whether the diet has any effect on the
development of the species.
The species was selected because the
type has never before been the sub
ject of such an experiment and be
cause exact measurements OF the eve
may be o.6ained and definite conclu
sions drawn.

Army and NavyNews

I ternship next July II is confidently
expected that a still further reduction
will be effected in the number Of va
cancies which now exist in the com.
missioned personnel Of the Medical
| Corps Of the regular establishment.
A careful statistical research into
| the cost Of the transfer of colonels to
the retired list Of the Army after 80
years service has apparently fortified
the military authorities in their ad-
herence to the rule of denying appli.
| cations for retirement after that
length Of service. With this survey
| strengthening their stand on this sub
Ject and the known prejudice exist
ing In Congress, the War Department
will no doubt be deferred from adding
| to the retired list. In connection with
the problem Of regulating promotion
in the Army recent discussions have
led to a current recommendation from
the War Department general staff
| that few, II any, retirementS for 80
years service be authorized.
Claim has been made that junior
! officers are submitting their resigna-
tions because Of their apprehension
that they WILL not have the privilege
of retiring when they have completed
their 80 years of service. The pros
pect of retirement for service. it Is
explained. has. been instrumental for
officers to adopt military career, and
when the period of active service is
prolonged, for example, when an Off
GER is physically disabled or reaches
the age Of ga years discomfort in,
evitably ensues. The suggestion has
been made that the refusal to retire
30-year officers may not, after all, be
for economy after the demotion and
Irregularities due to reductions in the
commissioned strength have been
wiped out, and it Is further claimed
that the working Of the pay schedule
and the provisions in the joint service
pay law Of 1922 operate to the effect
that all officers now on top of their
respective grades are receiving as
much pay and allowance as they will
receive when promoted. If this Is cor
rect, 1t is pointed out. then the retire
ment of colonel will actually save
money, for the differences between
the pay and allowances of a colonel
on the active list of the Army and the
pay of colonel on the retired list Is
more than the pay and allowances Of
a second lieutenant, who would be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy after the
promotion in the various grades had
been made.

MOSQUE IN LONDON
IS PIONEER OF KIND
Moslems Now Worship in England
as in East and Make Con-
verts Steadily.

LONDON. November 20-"La illaha
fila Allah wa Mahomed Rasoul Al.
lah"-the cry Of the Muezzin an.
nouncing the hour Of prayer to all
good Moslems-can now be heard in
London.
The first Moslem mosque to be
opened .in this country was conse-
Grated October 8. at Southfields, a
southwestern suburb of London, and
visiting Moha mmedans can now
of their faith. The mosque, however,
was built, not SO much for visitors
as for the native" British Worship
pers, of whom there is a small but
steadily growing colony in and around
London, including a goodly proper
ton Of whites. 1t has accommoda-
ton for close to 200 persons, and the
officiating priests expect to see the
building pretty we'll filled for every
service.
Emir Feisal, youngest son of the
King Of the Hedjar, who Is now on
a visit to England, performed the
opening ceremony. The mosque,
which is handsome white building
faced with cement, has a. large dome
and minarests from which the Niue
zin will call the faithful to prayer
exactly as is done in the East. The
building differs from Eastern mosques
only in that 1t has long, narrow
windows paned with ordinary glass.
Over the door is a plaque made Of
special cement, inscribed with the
N1oslem formula of faith. The in
scription has been traced by an Eng
lish artist from enlarged photographs
of the original.
The mosque was founded and built
by the Ahmadiyya sect, which stands
for tolerance and is opposed to op-
preston and holy wars. The move
ment was founded in 1889 by Morza
Ghulam Ahmad, and it's adherents be-
lieve that all religions have their
prophets and a common unity in the
belief in God. Unlike other Moslem
sects, they believe that the fountain
of divine knowledge contained in the
Koran has not been exhausted.
Hitherto Moslems in London have
worshiped at a temporary mosque
at Woking, Surrey, and north coun.
try believers have used the temporary
mosque dedicated by the Liverpool
merchant, Quillam, who held the rank
of "Sheikh.el-Islam" for England.
The exact strength of the Moslem
community in this country can only
be guessed at. but there has been
good deal of Moslem propaganda
here for some time and the number
Of English converts is said to be in.
creasing. Lord Headley, a British
peer. is one of the leaders of Moham-
mechanism in Britain.

Two recommendations for the site
Of the next encampment Of the 121st
Engineers have been recommended to

mended, first, that the regiment be

annual field training this year.
No reasons are given by Col. Och

the recommendation, it was said at
headquarters, but it was pointed out
that the Virginia Beach site Is recon-
mended this year for the purpose of
maintaining the morale Of the local
unit, many members of which want to
get further away from base than is
possible at Fort Humphreys. How

ARMY.

| The War Department received pdck
from the Government printer last
week the approved efficiency reports
flor warrant officers of the Regular
| Army, the immediate distribution Of
which is being held up pending the
publication of regulations governing
their use. AS the War Department
authorities are desirous of distributing
> both the efficiency reports and the
| governing regulations to the warrant
| officers of the regular establishment
as soon as possible. extensive efforts
are being made in the Department to
put the finishing touches upon the
regulations.
That part of the report which seeks
| to establish the duty which each indi-
vidual warrant officer is best qualified
to perform may lead to a general re-
assignment of duties of warrant Off
GERS. Another question to which war.
rant officers attach considerable sig
nificance is that in which information
| is elected as to whether the warrant
officer is especially qualified for duty
in any Of the following branches other
| than the one in which he is now serv-
| ing: Engineers. Adjutant Generals De-
partment, Quarterma ster Corps. Air
Corps, Coast Artillery, Signal Corps.
Finance Department and the Ord
nance Department. No we'll defined
procedure has been followed by the
department in assigning warrant Off
GERS to duty in the past, but with the
Inauguration of efficiency reports
and a careful study of the qualifica-
tions OF all warrant officers. it will be
! the means. it is believed, of effecting
an intelligent reassignment of this
group of officers.

enough candidates to meet the com.
