fact that they may be able to get as
good a view of Lindbergh, and in
most cases closer one, along the

ment grounds. No parking or automo-
biles will be permitted along the line

ton inevitable with such large
crowd trying to get away.

will be closed after 10 o'clock am. un-
til one hour after the termination of

Well Liked by Crew.
Col. Lindbergh is regarded as a
real good guy" by the members of

had ''chow." The young aviator was
perfectly at ease, and the men We're
equally at home at the plain board

the life of a sailor and the men were
eager to know about his wonderful

well, there were no formalities to
speak Of" said Roxford Couch, en-
gineman, of Lawrenceville, Ga, who
has been in the Navy for 10 years,
talking of the meal to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press.
"Lindy just walked down the passage
way, escorted by Lieut.. Lovette, who
introduced the 20 of us all around to
the colonel, and the fun began. He
seemed to be familiar with all the sea
terms, regarding chow at least. and l
lust believe he had about the best
meal with us since he left New York.
Though he didn't say so, l just know
he thought it.
"Why, you know. he called for sec
onds on the pork, and I certainly
didn't keep account of his other sec
ond orders, though I'm sure he ate
as much as any one of us. AS for
the jamoke (coffee), he had three
great big cups and several hunks OF
cake"
Splendid Reach at "Chow."
After the soup, the men agreed,
I.indbergh began reaching with
splendid reach for the punk--the sail
ors' name for bread. The men began
asking questions about his trans
atlantic flight, but the guest gave
modest answers and went into tech
meal details on questions put by the
enginemen.

posed Honolulu flight" Couch contin-
ued, but Indy wasn't keen about 60
ing into details about this, and coun-
tered by asking about the men on
watch, how they arranged the sched-
ule so AS to he able to get hot chow,
where they slept and how they liked
life in the Navy. The colonel told of
his parachute experience. His hand
reached for the creamed potatoes and
he remarked that the spuds-that's
what he called them-certainly were
good.
Before he left us he autographed
all our picture postcards of himself.
He certainly had the goods and we
Georgians certainly are for him."

CARELESS EXTENSIONS.
Proper Arrangement of Cord Urged
for Best Results.

Since extension cords have become
popular. especially with those who
like to have the radio set in one room
and the loud speaker in another, con
siderable carelessness has developed
concerning the way the wire is strung.
In many homes the extension cords
are longer than is necessary and one
finds them in a great variety of con
ditions, ranging from circles to actual
bends.
Just the moment an extension cord
is given a few loops it begins to act as
an induction coil of one sort or
another. Some very odd effects may
be noticeable in the final product from
the loud speaker. At any rate, it is
something to avoid whether the radio
operator notices any difference in the
reception or not.

Private Affairs Attract Fans.

One Of the things that bring radio
10 the home and close to the hearts Of
those who are enthusiastic about this
new art is the broadcasting of private
banquets and other affairs which the
general public otherwise could not
look in upon. There are many affairs
10 which the public is not invited, and
these are the ones that are serving to
put radio in a class by itself There
is a great deal to be learned from the
