kilocycles Easily
Changed to Meters

Chicago, July 1.-'p)-Radio fans
accustomed to wave lengths and con-
fused by kilocycles need have no
trouble translating the new unit into
the more familiar one.
To turn kilocycles to wave lengths
merely divide 100000 by the num-
Der OF kilocycles at which a station
is operated. The result is the sta
tons wave length.
Thus a station operated at 1000
kilocycles has wave length Of 800
meters; station at GO kilocycles
has a wave length of ALT, and so
on. The more tilocycles the fewer
meters in the wave length.

that on Jan. 2S, Martin and Baum

home here, robbed him of a large
sum of money and then dumped him,
still alive, into Center lake with a
heavy weight attached to his feet.
The lake is being dragged.
