by force of seven men. The new
building is expected to add mater.
tally to the interest which will be
felt in this seasons camp, as no
adequate mess facilities have been
available in years past. Work will
be entirely completed before the
opening of camp on June 10.
Comfort for the boys is assured
by placing flooring in the tents. The
swimming pool will shortly be in
readiness. The camp committee is
making every preparation possible
for the success of the camp this
Year, and it is anticipated that 200
boys will be there during the six
weeks it is open.
Col. Phillips, who had visited the
site for the first time, today com
mented enthusiastically on his trip.
q was much pleased to note the
suitability of the location, its adap-
tation to the requirements of such
an encampment, the beauty of its
surroundings and the opportunities
il affords for the instruction and
amusement of our boys. The ar
rangement of the camp and its dis
tance from all traffic makes it pos
Sible to keep them under constant
and personal supervision, and re-
moves all danger of accident or in

seems to us, that attempting 10
broadcast opera from the stage OF
"a theater is doomed to failure.
There can be no question as TO
the fine spirit Of the sponsors or
the thirteen Chicago performances
that have been entrusted to the
wave lengths. Nor can there be
any question of the painstaking
way in which the National Broad.
casting Company utilized every re.
source OF science and invention to
further the effort. The fact stands
without question. 1t seems to US.
that the accoustical requirements
OF radio broadcasting and produc'

auditorium filled with people are
opposites and can no more be
brought together than the North

NO HELP TO MUSIC

We believe such broadcasts neither
do Justice to the music OF the great
master composers or the voices OF
the singers. All we get from them
il the satisfaction Of hearing g. noise
in loud speakers made by the Chi
cago Opera Company, the stage
hands, the audience, the broad
cast devices and whatever else ap-
pears to be doing that sensitive
microphone might detect. MusicAlly
and artistically both from the
standpoint OF voices and instrument
tation, the weekly performances OF
the Cesare Sodero Company in the
National Broadcasting Studios are
far better opera than the very best
that could be heard from stage
without either tie fine vocal equip
ment OF the magnificent orchestra
and leadership to be found in the
Chicago organization.
We appreciate the effort Of the
DaIlSite Company ana the broad
casters in the series Just ended. II
it is all the same to them we'd much
prefer thei devoting future efforts
to something else. better adapted to
broadcasting-or better yet, let them
bring the Chicago company into the
studio once a week to broadcast an
act of current production from
there. The cost of such proceed
ing would not be much greater, IL
any. and the results would be OF
benefit to opera and to listeners.

WAISTLlNE OF VENUS
MEASURES 1851 MILES

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 4--Prof. Frank
E. Ross Of the University of Chicago
has returned from California, where
he took some pictures of Venus.
The pictures show Venus without the
usual drapery of clouds which here
tofore have baked astronomers efforts
to get accurate data on the changes
in the Venus figure. Prof. Ross found
that Venus Is 1861 miles wide at the
waist line. and that she Is 2 per
cent plumper than previous estimates
credited her with being. The study
indicated TO Prof. Ross that Venus re-
quires 80 days to make complete
turn
Prof Ross used the big telescope at
Mount Wilson Observatory and en-
ployed new and special equipment.
