TEACHING EASIER
 THAN BAKING JOB
So Declares Man Who Changed
 From Latter Position

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 5.--UP)- Teaching business subjects is a lot easier than baking pies and cakes an dthat is reason Dr. Charles M. Thompson, dean of the school of commerce of the University of Illinois, quit being a baker and turn ed college professor, he frankly told fellow alumni at the annual Illini club banquet here last night.
 Dean Thompson began his bus mess life as a baker at IS. He mixed dough and burned his fingers on oven doors for 12 years before he got tired of it and quit.
 T quit being a baker and became a college professor for the simple reason l was tired of hard work, " he said in a sparkling after dinner address that featured the club pro- gram.
 Education is a means to an end an end of the physical toll which is rewarded by poor pay he said. ap- praising the economic value of high CT education.
 The technique of earning living in business or a profession cannot be learned, however, in the college classroom, he added, declaring that the resources of the individual are as important as mental cultivation.
 'The thing I try to impress on each student starting out in the world" he said, lis that no school can teach technique but can provide only fundamentals. The young man who wins distinction in any field after leaving college must think for himself and not depend on his class room instruction to provide the means of success"

WGY SIGNALS HEARD
 DOWN IN AUSTRALIA
37.79 Meter Broadcast Wave Found to Have Carried Over 400
 Miles.

Schenectady, N. T.. Feb. R-
 Radio signals, broadcast by the
 General Electric company on a wave length of 32.79 meters were heard
 and copied with 100 per cent ac-
 curacy by an Australian listener. 1 - 400 miles away, but were inaudible
 200 miles from this city, according
 to report made public today by en-
 gineers of the company. After a series of tests on voice and telegraph signals on wave lengths
 of 32.79, 65, 16, 109 and 40 meters, the engineers in charge have de- ducted that:
 Channels comprising wave lengths shorter than those of the 66.3 to 75
 meter channel will not give eco- nomical service at points within 100
 miles of the transmitter. The 663 to 75 meter channel, the S5.7 to 105 meter channel, and the 132 to 150 meter channel are ca pablo of rendering economical serv- ice at points within 100 miles of the transmitter.
 For daylight communication at distance not greater than 90 miles from the transmitter, the 1855 to 150
 meter channel will give better serv- | ice than the S5.7 to 105 meter chan
 nel. Similarly, S507 meter channel
 will give better service than that
 which can be obtained under the
 same conditions using the 66.3 to 75 meter channel.
 ! The foregoing conditions are re- versed when distance between 90 and | 200 miles are considered. In this
 case the 66.3 meter channel will give better service during daylight | than the S5.7 to 105 or 133 to 150 meter channel.

FIGHTING STILL
 BEING CONTINUED
Portuguese Revolt Is Not En- tirely Crushed

1 Lisbon, Portugal. Feb. LP)-Seri-
 ous fighting between government , troops and revolutionaries is under 1 way at Oporto, principal city of
 northern Portugal, where a revolt
 broke out in the Garrison Thursday.
 There have been numerous casual | ties, dispatches say.
 London, Feb. LP-Fighting was going on in Oporto, Portugal, in the l carly hours of this morning, indicat- i ing that the revolutionary movement which broke out in garrison there | Thursday Is not as inconsequential as at first indicated.
 Revolutionary headquarters" ac-
 cording to late, though meager dis patches reaching London. was sur
 rounded by troops loyal to President 1 Carmona. The government forces
 were described as trying to arrest the
 members of the revolutionary com mittee.
 One report from Vigo, Spain, re- ceived by the Daily Mail, which is
 not confirmed from any other source, is that the revolt has spread over all
 of northern Portugal, with every garrison involved except those at | Braga and Wanna.
 A general strike, with the possibil- | ity of railway communications being 1 interrupted, is reported to be under
 way throughout the southern and
 southeastern part of the country. but
 whether the two disturbances are in any way connected has not been l learned.
 The government of President Car mona, which came into power last spring after a military coup, at first
 minimized the present movement, saying the disaffection was confined to the Oporto Garrison. There
 were even unofficial reports that the revolutionaries had surrendered, but these were followed by an official announcement that they were still 1 holding out.
 The movement is aimed directly at President Carmona and his govern-
 ment, for communication had been
 received recently from a committee
 of "tfe rebcllious minority troops" in which the resignation of the gov
 ernment and restoration of the con- stitutional regime were demanded. Immediately the start of the
 movement became known Thursday, President Carmona, who also Is min-
 ister of war, proceeded to the Oporto
 region to organize the government troops. So far as appears from the meager and conflicting reports com ing out of Portugal, he is still there.

 While Borodin is a Russian, the Soviet authorities have pointed out that he has no official connection with the Soviet government.
