Equinox Affected by
Heating Pouer of Sun

The autumnal equinox is warmer,
not colder, than the vernal in prac-
tically all of the continental United
States and other places of middle to
high ATTITUDES. The reason for this Is
that the temperature conditions at
any locality always lag behind the
changing amounts Of heat received by
the locality from the sun in the course
Of It's annual journey from winter
solstice and return. In New Jersey, for
example, the heating effect Of the sun
shine Is at minimum on Decem-
Der % Of each year, but the lowest
temperature of the winter occurs fully
a month later, on January rs. The
greatest solar heating occurs at the
summer solstice, June %, but the high
est average temperatures fall about
the end Of July. The autumnal equi-
nox, September p, occurs, therefore.
only about FIVE days after the highest
temperatures Of the year, whereas the
vernal equinox, March n, is separated
from the time Of highest by fully 100
days, and is separated only about 80
days from the coolest period Of the
year.

Aerial Supports

The Loomis Radio college says that,
while 1t IL generally believed that iron
in the vicinity Of an aerial absorbs
some Of the energy, iron supports are
frequently employed for this purpose
on account Of their mechanical ad-
vantages. Observe the latticed steel
towers used by all the large broadcast
ing stations, where receivers are also
installed as required by law. The
aerial should be well insulated from
the iron pole and swung a few feet
away from 1t by stout rope. The
other aerials should run as nearly as
possible at right angles to each other.
II they are one above the other IN tho
same direction they will rob each
other quite noticeably.

admirably adapted to a get-together

ducive to a full attendance OF pres

After much discussion, the budget
was finally passed, with a notable de-
crease in comparison with the
amount appropriated last year.
The total, S110,S84, is $5,72O less
than that of the previous year. The
cutting out of the balance of 81, 500,
on the Union river and Treworgy
bridges, which was a part of last
years budget, greatly aided the
board in making reduction this
wear. The contingent fund was also
reduced $4,000. Slight increases
were made in two or three places,

cussed the changes and decided upon
such increases as essential.

EUGENE KINcKLE JONES DIE
LINERS COMMENCEMENT
ADDRESS
(Preston News servicel

Institute, W. Va, June 18.-Eugene
KinckIe Jones, Executive Secretary Of
the National Urban League, delivered
a stirring address at the West Virginia
Collegiate Institute Wednesday.
In part, Mr.. Jones said; Success in
life calls for thorough preparation.
Success in American life today is
fraught with keen competition. The
Negro must compete, not only with
members of other races, but with those
within is own race who have caught
the vision Of the new age and who are
lured along by the attraction of sue
cess. The rank and file are dependent
upon trained men and women for guild
ance and extraordinary service"
Examples of signal success by MEM
bers Of the race in many diversified
lines led Mr. Jones to the conclusion
that there can be no generalization
made of the Negroes capacity and out
look and therefore no generalization Of
the type Of training Negroes should
receive. Mental tests" he declared,
whether of racial groups or of classes
of persons, white or black from the
north and from the south, have proven
nothing except that environment and
opportunity count most Talent and
bent should determine whether you
should prepare to enter some lines of
activity where Negroes have made no
Roadway. Plan to make your contribu-
ton to the welfare of humanity in
some definite line. Achievement should
be your watchword The aggregate
service of Negroes to our country's
prosperity has been tremendous. This
service could be even greater with a
better type of leadership which you
should help to develop"

Nested in Lamp Post

A few years ago In a London
suburb pair Of blue tits built
their nest inside a lamp post. The
birds entered just under the glass,
but they probably went right to the
bottom and made their messy home
on the ground. In this dark but per-
fectly safe place large family was
reared The remarkable sequel was
that six years later several lamp
posts in the district were occupied by
blue tits.

and In cities to as high az 100000 to
