thing that Joan wanted to do. When
the baby was dressed, undressed and
bathed, Joan wanted to do the same
thing with baby doll.
The day after Christmas Nancy went
over the toys and took away many of
them. Some were too old, some were
all right so far as age was concerned,
but there were too many of them. Joan
never missed them. Aunt Nancy
tucked them out of sight in a closet.
During the Winter when days dragged
she planned to bring out first one and
then another as a surprise for Joan.
Nancy had stumbled over too many
toys the year before to err again In
the same way.

have shown fairly uniform state Of
solar radiation in the last few
months. indicating possibly that the
sun spots are at the climax OF
periodical intensity.
Important observations have been
made by scientists during the present
abnormally active state of the sun.
The many disastrous storms Of the
last two years, with millions of dol
lars in property loss and heavy
death toll. peculiar behavior of radio
signals and other phenomena, have
been attributed by some scientists
to the powerful rays with which the
sun bombards the earth in the sun
spot cycles.
DR.. l.. w. Austin, Of the United
States Bureau of Standards, who is
conducting a study of solar activity
radio signal strength. and daylight
atmospheric disturbances, in relation
to radio, said:
The observations show with con-
siderable certainty that there is a
general increase in signal strength
with increasing sun spot numbers.
There also appears to be a posi-
BILE periodic relationship between the
sun spot numbers and daylight sig
mails, in which. in the case of most
stations observed. the signals are
nearly in opposite phase to the
periodic changes of the sun spots.
'sThis is in agreement with results
OF studies in the broadcasting band.
While the work thus far must be con
sidered in the preliminary stage, II
seems probable that the revelations
OF solar activity and radio phe'
nomena viii be found to be as worthy
of study as those OF solar activity

course is chosen, the bases would
be established somewhere along the
South Atlantic coast OF the United
States, in the Azore Islands and In
France.
Each flight would be made with
one or two passengers, it being
one of the primary purposes Of the
tests to determine whether pas
sengers can be carried safely and
economically across the ocean.
Flights would be made in two
or three hops in both directions
across the Atlantic but no flight
would be started until weather
conditions were perfect.
Risk Reduced
Thus the element or risk would
be reduced TO a minimum and the
feasibility of transatlantic flying,
under conditions that must be OBJ
served if such flights are to prove
commercially successful. would be
fully demonstrated.
Other proposals for capit2lizing
the interest in aviation, which has
been created by the recent long

of promoting a judicious airport
building program was given ex-
tended consideration.
The question Of providing boys
