citing news! If ever there was time for action,
this was it. AND ATwATER KENT Acted
A completely new receiving set was designed
to convert all the marvellous possibilities OF
the new tubes into better reception for the radio
listener at sUeTy point.
Tubes by themselves are just glass and
metal. 1t isn't merely the tubes that make the
new Atwater Kent 50 much better. It's the
way they are used-completely used.
Meanwhile Atwater Kent spent millions of
dollars on devising and purchasing new ma
chinery- Of it replacing machines which
themselves had been the last word m up-to-
dataness only short time before. =
Sets the pace fer an etlserss
On May LIST Atwater Kent announced
Screen-Grid Radio, told the public it was
sensational, perfected improvement, and that
it could be had in the widest possible choice
Of exquisite cabinets !.
Knowing that an Atwater Kent statement
can be taken at its face value, thousands
bought the first week and more and more
thousands have bought every day since then
and are doing it now.
That's the story of Atwater Kent Screen
Grid, the set that has revolutionized radio.
Our advice to anyone is: Break any engage
ment you've got and listen to it. It's just that
good! And it doesn't hum! 1

VTIHY does the Atwater Kent Screen

Here's the answer:
Screen-Grid is a new simplifying tube. 1t
solves problem that has held back the prog
ress Of radio for seventeen years.
This problem was: Hsw to make receiv-
Of the electrical energy within the set to "feed
back" and ruin tone quality.
And Why should radio need more power?
Because Power unIocks the secret Of bst3sr
performance at epsry point and puts Il at yosw
finger tips In the form Of Love!isr tone, more ter-
ible rolume, finer seleetivity and longer distance

As engineers racked their brains over the
puzzle Of forcing more power through . re-
ceiver without sacrificing tone, they discovered
that it could be done by completely shielding
some Of the simplifying tubes-shielding them
inside and outside, and thus preventing wani
ton imps Of electricity from straying Of the
road and causing trouble.
That's what Screen-Grid is. Now for the

A Century.Old Newspaper.

The Philadelphia Inquirer is n
hundred years old today. That is a
birthday worth observing. Anything
that has lived a century Is firmly rooted
and a newspaper that has lived a CEN
fury has accomplished something worth
while. The Star, in its seventy-seventh
year, congratulates the Inquirer and
wishes 1t many happy returns.
The Inquirer is not so old, as Ameri-
can journalism goes. For American
journalism is supposed to nave uttered
it's first faint cries in Boston in 1890
with the single issue of Public Oc-
currence. Both Foreign and Domestic"
founded by its editor to print the names
of all the liars in town, but suppressed
by the city fathers, doubtlessly because
of the great danger thus presented.
And there is still being printed, week
in and week out, the Portsmouth, N. H.,
Gazette, which is one hundred and
seventy three years old, The Newport,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-01

r. T.. Mercury, another weekly. Is one
hundred and seventy-one years old.
The Hartford Courant. founded as a
weekly, but turned a daily many icng
years ago, is one hundred and sixty
five years old, older than the Nation
itself, while u own near neighbor, the
Alexandria Gazette, is nearing its one
hundred and fifty-fifth birthday.
But the century mark passed by the
Inquirer is doubly interesting In that
the Inquirer was a pioneer in what we
now like to call modern journalism"
Its birth "a concurrent with the birth
Of an era of newspapers which set out
TO give the news of the world, rather
than the opinions Of the editors or the
dogma of the parties they served as
tools. The birth of the Inquirer ante
dated the New York Sun by four years.
The year the Inquirer was born Will
liam Cullen Bryant took the editorship
Of the then twenty-seven-year-old New
York Evening Post. The Inquirer was
six years old when James Gordon Ben
nett started his New York Herald and
thirteen years old when Greeley's Tribune
took its place in the armament of
Journalistic stars. The early years of
the Inquirer are thus identified with
that period of newspaper history made
famous by such names as Bryant,
Greeley, Dana and Bennett. Its one hun
dredth birthday marks the beginning of
a series of centennial anniversaries to
be celebrated in the next few years by
newspapers that have lived and grown
strong-the Sun and the Herald Tribune
of New York, the Boston Transcript,
the Detroit Free Press, Philadelphia
Ledger, Baltimore Sun, New Orleans
Ficayune and Milwaukee Sentinel.
II was in Philadelphia that the first
daily newspaper was published and it
is only within the last few years that
this earliest of American dailies lost it's
identity through merger with the Public
Ledger. The American Daily Adver-
tiser, established by Benjamin Franklin
Bache in Philadelphia in 1774, became
Poulson's Advertiser in 1902 and the
North American in 1882. ten years after
the establishment Of the Inquirer. -Four
years ago the North American was
bought by the Public Ledger, leaving
the Inquirer as Philadelphia's oldest
surviving newspaper. Like a human
being, a good name becomes a news
papers greatest asset. Unlike a human
being, a newspaper does not necessarily
lose strength and vigor as the years
roll owe the hill. The Inquirer has
kept a good name for a hundred years.
May its strength wax as another cen
fury begins to wane!

ton was at prohibitive cost.
In 1884 Prof. Dumas of Paris pro-
duced an improvement on the Davy
arc, but even his cost Sc a minute to
operate. Other experimenters attempt
ed to develop 1t, until IN the Winter Of
1845-46 the Place de Ia Concorde OF
Paris was Illuminated with it. by a
Frenchman named Delenil.
Later came what were known as the
Jablochkoff candles - two cylindrical
pencils of compressed carbon, side by
side. but separated with insulating
kaolin, which became ~incandescent by
the current from the carbons. The
kaolin candle soon burned away. but
this is what suggested to Mr.. Edison
the need of finding a substance which
would not burn away-and that is what
he did find. when he 1nclosed palm
fiber in a glass vacuum, like our pres
ent bulb.
OF course, the electric incandescent
light is not the only invention by Mr..
Edison, but 1t Is the most revolutionary
of the age, and n that is indis-
solubly associated with his genius.
Between 1872 and 1876 he invented

which he called 'etheric force"-the
later foundation for wireless teieg-
raphy. While Graham Bell invented
the first telephone, Edison is credited
with the carbon telephone transmitter,
making telephony a commercial art.
In 1877 he invented the photograph.
In 1888 he invented a method of con-

which is known as the Edison effect"
the foundation principle On which
all radio lamps or tubes are based. Be
tween 1881 and 1887 he took out 800
patents, including an invention OF
wireless biography by induction to
and from trains in motion.
He has invented the monograph and
the alkaline storage battery: in 1914
the telescribe, combining the telephone
with the dictaphone.
During the World War, Mr.. Edison
worked assiduously with the Navy De-
partment, producing some AZ inventions
of very great value, such as means OF
detecting positions of guns by sound
ranging, quick turning of ships. UNDER
water searchlight, etc. He devoted his
whole time during the wal to patriotic.
defensive and offensive inventions. He
is still active in his enterprises, al

age-born February 10, 1847.
Scientists will celebrate his achieve

Privilege of Choosing Books
Debated as Important Issue

be left" The Flint Daily Journal con-
cludes that "the reader who depends
on some one else to choose his literary
diet fails to get other books OF equal
and perhaps superior merit"
On the side Of the book-club plan
the Atlanta Journal says that, past
question. the clubs quicken interest IN
reading" The Topeka Daily Capital
argues that this method has revived
interest in literature, which had been
waning and the Springfield Illinois
State Journal offers the judgment that
ANY method or device that makes for
added interest in the products of an
industry must eventually beneht all
those who deal in the products, and the
frightened booksellers may be scared
before they are hurt"
"What is the poor reader to do?" asks
the Kansas City Journal-Post. He can
no longer take the imprint Of a pub
Usher as a guaranty. It seems that just
anybody can have. a book published.
3 8 Perhaps more publishers ma
solve the problem by going back to the
custom of the men who looked upon a
book as an offering sponsored with
pride. B" Meanwhile the book
clubs render a service. The
winnowing is helpful, even If not per-
fectly done, and from the very nature
Of the task perfection cannot be ex-
pected. The readers are entitled TO
some help in their extremity"
Pointing to the Nations new and
profitable awareness of books" the Bal
timore Sun states: THE whole present
quarrel is probably beside the point of
beautiful letters, anyway. Most per-
we believe, will be inclined 10
regard it as a strife which will not de-
eide the fate of letters. but will settle
a few points in practical economics and
competition. Between the growth of
rich markets. the strategy of business
and the birth of national literature
there is a vast. wide space, into which
neither book clubs nor publishers have
as yet set any very impressive feet"
we will welcome almost anything
that will at least partially restore the
reading habit" says the Tulsa World.
while the Worcester Telegram asks.
why worry about Standardization. at

cerned?" The Woscester daily adds.
I'VE have Standardization because peo-
Pile want to have things like those pos
by other people and because
people want to 90 things done by other
people"
THE book clubs seem to show" &C

that the public will buy more books IL
It can buy them more cheaply. It also
shows the possibility of marketing more

reduce the deficit growing out of the

the fact that the Democrats we're ut

which will be a center of Democratic

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

no dispute? Hell, they say, is both hot
and cold.
The secret of bearing hot weather,
whether in the District of Columbia
(which is not hotter than any place
else) or elsewhere, lies in dressing as
lightly as possible, eating rs lightly as
feasible and keeping as clean as possible.
Every one knows these rules (Who
doesn't know everything nowadays?),
but most of us forget them at the very
time they are most needed. Cleanliness
is. indeed, akin TO Goodness in Summer
and is the rule least likely to be for
gotten, because there is nothing so re-
Ireshing as a shower on a hot day, un-
less it be W showers or three showers.
AS for clothes-or lack of them-thc
women do better than the men. Perhaps
this is why they are more healthy, we
are not sure. 1t is difficult to be certain
about anything. Statistics can be pre-
sented TO show one thing one day, an
other thing another.
AS for the rule of less food, Nature
takes care of that, in a measure, by
lessening the appetite. But it is here,
as in all of the standard hot-Weather
rules of conduct, Nature directs plainly
headStrong man.
x X v *
The mental end of Summer, however,
is more important than its physical as
poets. 1t is not only the time of u n
burn for men and 'suntan" for the
ladies, the day of automobile races and
the open season for tennis and bathing,
but it is. above all, the time for deter
mining to live as happily as possible.
1t is amazing how many persons
there are who seem to refrain DELHI
~erately from being happy.
They are perpetually looking ahead,
as they say, but in reality looking be-
hind, since they refuse to accept the
here and now.
Americas Walt Whitman first called
the attention of mankind to the need
for living in the here and now. With
loud voice he insisted that What we
needed was a divine belief in ourSelf
and our country and a determination to
be as happy as possible as We go along.
Such thoughts as these may seem
threadbare until n looks around at all
those who need them most. Many a
young man has found tonic qualities in
Whitman's so-called verse, and many
an older man has come to himself In
Summer.
Hot days and nights are made to
order for reading. Trying to forget the
heat, as some people say, by getting
into a whirl will but make one remem-
Der it the more.
A good book and very light clothing
will do more to make m comfortable
in Summer than a lot Of more spec
tacular stunts which only serve to in
cas- the blood pressure.
The delights of conversation are APP
propriate to Summer. too. Table talk
should be, and is, INDUCED in more at
this season than most others.
The ancient delusion that hot weather
was made for light reading and friv-
olous conversation is going the way OF
many another ancient mistake.
Summer is the time. above all, for
the reading of serious books and for in
dulging in sensible conversation The
two help make life in Sumner as men
tally free and open as homes.
