On every side hectic activity. Side
walks as seethins as those of white
way or the loop or Detroit or Coney
Island on a hot summer Sunday. The
principal industry. you reason, must
be selling lots. Real estate offices,
ranging from tiny wall holes TO pub
lie halls equipped with a full sized
band. outnumber any other kind of
business establishment. Neither the
Bowery nor the Barbary coast ever
had ms many saloons as Miami has
real estate offices.
Only few of them seem to be
busy. had always pictured Miami
as a health resort, rest resort.
Hadn't you? Well, whatever it may
have been in times past, il certainly
is no longer a rest" resort or any
thing else suggestive of rest and re-
pose. ~
1t is a teeming. swirling, pulsating,
feverish metropolitan city, radiating
energy. enterprise, progress, expan-
sion. "a mad house" remarks a fell

people pay the rents which the fancy

especially for clerks and other poorly
paid collar and cuff people. One news
paper owner, you learn, was moved to
acquire living quarters for a hundred
or more of his working force in order
to give them very reasonable rents.
One bank has done the same and prob
ably so have other employers who

OPENS
LIGHT 5 AIR
SCHOOL
Radio Association Chief
tain Talks on Electri-
cal Measurements.

Inaugurating The Lights School Of
the Air, Edward G. Conroy, city man.
ager of the American Radio Relay
League and president of the Bexar
County Radio Association, talked
over VICAR, super power station of
the Southern Radio Corporation of
Texas and The San Antonio Light.
Tuesday night from AS until 8
o'clock, choosing as his subject. "The
Volt, the Ampere and the Watt
Mr.. Conroy is especially fitted for
the task he has been chosen to per-
form because of his exhaustive tech
meal knowledge of the matter of radio
and his close association with the
radio amateurs of San Antonio and
vicinity.
EDUCATIONAL STEP.
The Light, with the cooperation Of
the Bexar County Radio Association
and the American Radio Relay
League, is taking the forward step in
the education of the radio public in
the fundamentals of radio through the
talks of Mr.. Conroy, which are couch
ed in such simple terms as to be clear
to the layman.
The talk of Tuesday night dealt
with the terms used in electrical
measurement, that is, the volt, the
ampere and the watt. The theory of
electromotive force was made an
alagous to the water-pipe. where the
pressure required to force the water
through the pipe was likened to the
voltage of an electric current, and the
amount of water likened to the am
perage of the electrical current.
The product Of the two, j. e., pres
sure times quantity. equals volume,
electrically stated, volts times amperes
equals watts, Mr.. Conroy said.
TALKS WEDNESDAY.
Conroy's talk at 7:45 wednesday
night over VICAR will deal with the
various kinds of electrical current. j..
e., direct and alternating current,
their nature and differences.
Fans who are interested in the de-
velopment of radio in. its different
phases, are invited by The Light to
take advantage of this opportunity TO
get liberal education in the new
est and most interesting of sciences.
All that is needed is a desire TO learn
and a receiving set with which to

had had a hard day in the Senate
His fight 10 eliminate useless talk in
the Senate seemed to have done some
good, until Tuesday.
But vote was coming up on the
World Court decision and some Of the
senators wanted to delay action. Aft
err several speeches about nothing ii
particular. Senator Jim Reed OF Mis-
souri, rose and read a long magazine
article written by Andrew Carnegie
and published in 1893. having nothing
to do with the World Court.

Although he had no visible audi

became so vehement that he began TO
make gestures. The announcer secur-
cd a table especially built for Presi-
dent Coolidge and set 1t before the
militant vice president. But the ia
Bile couldn't stand the pressure.
When Dawes finished It wobbled
weakly on three legs and collapsed.
1T took Senator Reed an hour
and half to read the magazine
article" he said. "and this prompted
me to bring the question OF the failure
OF the Senate rules to your atten-
ton.
OTHERS TALK.

rhnN
means to have individuals stop the
wheels from turning. There are no.
100000 people vitality interested in
the tax bill and when such piece
of legislation is before great body
like our United States Senate you
should not permit man to go up
there and read magazine articles,
newspapers or something else irrele-
want" said Dawes.
