RADIO TRAIN ORDERS

Better tracks, more powerful To-
comotives and generally improved eff
ficiency have greatly increased the
length of freight trains on American
railroads during the past few years.
This extended length of trains,
some of which reach more than a
mile, has presented the problem of
communication between conductor,
brakemen and engineer in cases of
emergency.
Recent tests have shown the prac-
ticability of using radio telephones for
such communication, and this means
is being adopted by the New York
Central. It's successful employment
will no doubt be followed by similar
installations on other systems.
Radio equipment will be installed
in cabooses, locomotives and signal
towers, whereby instantaneous and
effective communication may be had
at any moment.
That the advantages offered by this
modern means of communication, with
Improvements which must follow as a
matter of course, will be in the inter-
est of safety and better service can
not be doubted.
Ultimately we may see freight
trains controlled entirely by radio,
without either engineers, firemen,
brakemen or conductors. In fact,
what future generations may witness
along these lines must be left wholly
to the imagination.

Sensational Modern Riding Devices
to Be Seen at the Midland
Empire Fair

The Workman Shows, to furnish
the amusement zone at the 18th An
nual Midland Empire Fair, Billings,
September Is, IA, Is, l6, have one OF
the most complete strings of riding
devices in America. They have the
reliable old timers, which boys and
girls have delighted in for many
years: the Ferris Wheel, formerly
known as Old Eli; the Merry-Go-
Round, abreast, with big Wuriltz-
err organ. Also the Whip, with its
swishing, bucking carriages that he'll
ter-skelter over most uncertain
course and gives many thrills. The
Charleston, a new swing ride, named
the Charleston because Of its light
ning-like speed and the dizzy heights
to which it swings its patrons. An
entirely new ride. imported from Eu-
rope this season at cost Of more
than twenty thousand dollars, called
the Hey-Dey, will be seen here with
the Workman Shows for the first
time. 1t is miniature raeetraek
where automobiles, handsome in ap-
pearance, seating five passengers and
with only one front wheel, steered by
the drivers who have no control at
times, and look like a bunch of wo-
men drivers at busy corner on Sat
urday afternoon, the cars barely miss
ing each other in their mad race
which is run in no particular direction
at a speed of more than sixty miles
an hour with some most peculiar de-
tours, and many ups and downs. The
ride is a combination of many ideas
formerly embodied in old park rides,
and is much in accordance with the
modern age of reckless abandon and
with its swirling, maddening pace it
takes the breath of the most sophisti-
Gated thrill-hunters and leaves them
in amazed wonder after trip on its
dizzy race-course. 1t weighs more
than forty tons, is made Of steel, fool
proof, and requires the services of
more than thirty mechanics in cree
ton and operation. The latest ride,
invented by a Swiss, and just little
on the order of the old fashioned
Merry-Go-Round, is called "Over the
Jumps, has beautiful horses, three
abreast, and excellent carriages, takes
the riders at maddening pace over
imaginary hurdles and the idea which
originated this ride sprang from the
fox hunt. 1t is safe and sane ride
but gives many thrills. The Cater
pillar, ride that has no equal as a
dark ride, is very popular with the
younger generation, is comfortable
but surprising in the many extra
ordinary things that happen to the
patrons before they leave its leather
covered chairs. There is the appear
ance of going through a tunnel, a
storm, cyclonic burst of fun that

O'HIGGINS WAS STERN

The recent assassination of Vice
President Kelvin O'Higgins Of the
Irish Free State, which threatens to
plunge Ireland into another civil war,
has brought out incidents which re-
veal the stern character of the dead
statesman.
Believing that drastic measures
were necessary to restore and pre-
serve order in the country O'Higgins
as minister of justice had approved
N executions, while citizens in great
numbers were imprisoned.
In illustration of his infIexible will,
the story is told of his execution of
Rory O'Connor, a famous rebel, in
spite of their former close friendship.
Six months before O'Connor had act
ed as best man at O'Higgins' wedding.
When O'Connor's will was read, it
was found that he had left all his
money to O'Higginis, the man who
was responsible for his death.
O'Connor's friends swore vengeance
and it is possible that the action of
O'Higgins in this case led to his ulti-
mate assassination.

Eastern Station Rebroadeasts West
Coast Programs

Eastern Station RebrOadeasts Yves
Coast Programs
1t has become quite common fol
listeners in the eastern part of the
United States to have XII, XIII and
some of the other Pacific Coast sta
tions coming in regularly on their
loudspeakers. This has been brought
about by station WAAM of Newark,
N. j., which picks. up various DIX
programs and re-broadcasts them.
Mr.. Paul Cooley, who is an expert of
long experience on distance reeep-
ton, has sponsored this DIX feature
of WAAM's program.
I'VE have erected a receiving post
at Cedar Grove, about nine miles
northwest of Newark" Mr.. Cooley
said, and from that point, the pro-
grams we intercept are sent over land
wires to the transmitter at Newark
and put on the air so that the radio
fans throughout our area may receive
them without difficulty. The Galifor-
MIA stations begin coming in at 1920,
but they are not at their best until
after midnight.
Among the stations we find most
satisfactory are XII, XIII, KGO,
KGW, KOA, CZE, WBAP, and
WFAA. Station XII is by far the
easiest to get as it comes in very
loud"
The antenna is described as being
about 40 feet high and $50 feet long,
running between a chimney and an
elm tree. A counterpoise is strung
beneath the antenna. Three receivers
are employed, all operating from the
same antenna and using six tubes
each. One is tuned to WAAM's 263
meter wave; the second is used as
scout to hunt new stations, while the
third is producing signals through two
loudspeakers into microphone CON
nected by wire with the WAAM
transmitter.
Mr.. Cooley further explains the
system as follows: I'VE use two
loudspeakers of the cone type con-
nected in series so that we can get
both the high and low tones. The

Quick Aspic Jelly


Dissolve 2 chicken boullion cubes In
3-4 cups boiling water. Add "A tea
spoons gelatine soaked in a cup cold
water and juice of p lemon and salt
and pepper to taste. Strain this
through a double cheese cloth.
In extremely hot weather it is safest
to use more gelatine than the recipe
calls for in order to be certain that
the jelly will not suddenly melt be-
fore the dish can be gotten to the
table. And often times when one cam
not prepare it many hours ahead, the
gelatine can be increased to save ones
peace of mind as to whether it will be
set in time. However, if the day is
not hot, the recipe is all right as it is.
AS I have said any kind of meat or
vegetables may be nodded in aspic.
Of course, they must be cooked be-
forehand. Following are three delight
full luncheon dishes in aspic:
Tongue in Aspic
Cook tongue until tender in boiling
water to cover, with six slices of car
rot, two stalks celery, one onion stuck
with six cloves, one-half teaspoon of
peppercorns, and one-half tablespoon
salt. Let cool in water in which it is
cooked and peel the next day If pos
sible Curl the tongue around IN a
good shape or slice it. Cover the bot
tom Of a round pan with aspic and
when firm decorate it with cooked
carrot, turnip, beet, cut in fancy
shares, and parsley. Cover with aspic
jelly mixture adding it by spoonfuls
so as not to disarrange vegetables.
When this layer Of mixture is firm,
put in tongue, adding the rest of the
