Radio Games

1t is possible to play lots of games
by listening in ON different radio sta
tons. One might have, for instance,
a distance getting contest with def
mite time limit for each contestant,
or it might be contest on guessing
the names or the composers of selec-
tions played.
A new and humorous radio game
has been contributed by DR.. E. Slos-
sen. Anyone with radio receiver
may play it. The game makes it pos
sible for a player to tell his fortune
by radio. First blindfold the person

performed before to the tune of ra-
dio music, it is believed that this was
the first time that the wedding party
has depended upon music played in a
distant city.
With a little cooperation on the

to effect several pretentious mar

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

60. c. G. says: II was surprised
recently, when my aerial blew down
in a storm, to find I could get good
reception with it lying on the ground.
The tuning was changed considerably
and stations came in weaker but they
were very clear and from far dis
tances. Could the antenna be used
permanently in this manner to ad-
vantage?"
Ans.-There are certain advan-
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1927-10-13

tages to having the antenna on the
ground. Daylight reception is some
times better this way, and in sum-
mertime there is very much less sta
tic disturbance. However, it is not as
easy to get distant stations and the
results are not as good in some direc-
tions as in others. 1t is usually bet
ter to have the antenna high in the
air in wintertime but lowered in the
summer.
&C. U. B. says: IT have a tube
which | finally found to be the cause
of lot of rumbling noise in my set
1t is very sensitive to vibration
wherever | use it, and with another
tube in its place the trouble is elimin-
ated. At the radio store it shows up
all right on their tube tester. What
could be the reason for it's acting
this way?"
Ans.-It sometimes happens that
one of the welded supports to the
grid or some other member of the
tube becomes loose and permits that
element to vibrate. There is no way
of fixing anything like that except
to use the tube where it would not
have any vibration"

Radio Furnishes Wedding March
200 Miles Away

Getting married by radio is not ex-
actly new, but to have your wedding
march played by an orchestra that is
200 miles away is decidedly odd. Yet
this happened a short time ago when
the strains of the wedding march
as played by the jazz orchestra in a
Broadway restaurant-was the musi-
cal accompaniment for young couple
going to the marriage altar in little
town in Virginia, a suburb of Wash
ington, D. c.. The music was broad

Fruit canned in this way is delight

nearly than that preserved in any
other way.
Preserving Tomatoes
If YOU are lucky enough to be able
to gather tomatoes in the fall try this
method of storing them so that you
will have fresh ones all winter.
Select smooth, ripe vegetables with
out broken skins; wipe clean and put
in a stone jar. Melt lard; let cool and
pour over the tomatoes, covering them
we'll. Put in cool place.

HEALTH in frozen form is the

by James A. Tobey in the April

1t is one of the most valuable
OF American nutriments and
should not be confined to the

Ice cream, properly made, is
simply a concentrated and re.
fined form of milk and milk is

GORILLA AND

GIN America we know some

as result of the labors of the

region worked by the Swedish
Expedition year or two earlier"
writes Prof. Herbert j. Spinden,
in the May number of The
Forum magazine, commenting on
the explorations of Prince viii.
liam of Sweden. This gorilla,
believed to be specifically distinct
from the gorilla Of West Africa,
first described by Du Chaillu, is
by all accounts a superb beast.
The chance that this backwoods
cousin of man has evolved in
different physical varieties on the
separate cones of the Birunga
range seems slight, but he may
have variable habits of life.

three stages. the acute. the conva-
