Eufure OF Radio

Lee De Forest, radios pioneer,
who has been associated with radio
for a quarter of century, and the
inventor of the vacuum tube, has
written an essay, THE Future of
Radio
First Mr.. De Forest has no fears
that television will ever supplant
talking pictures, though for the for
mer he has high hopes. The two, he
says, have totally different ends:
Just as the phonograph industry
has joined hands with radio X so
must television and the motion pic
ture join hands in the future.
Mr.. De Forest believes that the
story of radios future is far from
complete. He says, There are SO
many fields to which radio technique
can be applied geology, for the
location of mineral deposits; in ag~i-
culture, to accelerate plant growth
and for exterminating the insect
pests: in diagnosis and medicine,
because of the peculiar curative
of certain high frequency;
in surgery, because of the proved
value of the radio knife, which
sears its way through flesh, cauter-
izing as it goes; in fine measure
ment in the laboratory"
When one reflects upon the po-
tentialities and possibilities of sci
ence in this and various other fields,
one must realize that the men and
women and children of the future
not only may enjoy incomparably
better material conditions, but will
be delivered also from age-old
Affections Of disease and know not
at all Of the familiar common afflic-
tiOns of the present; will have the
advantages Of improvements in the
matter Of health care and protection
unknown to the present and all past
generations-ma rejoice in endur-
ing wholesome days of existence,
blessed with innumerable inventions
which shall make the work and
living of people generally joy in
stead of a struggle and a burden

that one medicine could do what
Konjola did for me. l am indeed
grateful"
Though Konjola works quickly
six to eight bottles are recommended
as fair trial. Many people are
benefited within a few weeks, but it
is better to take this medicine for a
longer period to obtain the best re-
suits.
Konjola is sold in McConnelsville
O., at the Danford Pharmacy, and by
all the best druggists in all towns
throughout this entire section.

must halt and marvel. In 1912
when the Woolworth building rear
ed it's proud head into the blue,
folk throughout the world gasped.
Sixty stories high, What would
happen next? For years no tourist
visited New York without seeing the
Woolworth building. Over that
length of time, thousands upon
thousands of persons have held their
breaths while express elevators shot
them up to the top. At soc apiece
they have paid large sums to reach
a sightseers' gallery. The Wool
worth building, in all its Gothic
dignity held sway until last year,
when the bank of Manhattan, top
ping it by 10 stories, was built.
Swiftly followed the Chrysler build
ing, II stories, just completed, done
in the modern manner, its shining
silver helmet looming sentinel-like
over the roaring Forties. And now
the towering skeleton of the Empire
state is being pushed up to the
amazing height of 1914 feet III
inches, the equivalent of 102 stories,
and 249 feet higher than the Eiffel
tower in Paris 1t will have IS
stories of Offices On the top will
be a giant mooring mast for dirig-
ibles. When completed, it will be
at once the largest and the tallest
building in the world. Within it's
walls will be housed a population
that would do credit to a fair-siZed
city. Twenty thousand persons will
enter it at o'clock in the morning
and pour out of it at o'clock in
the afternoon. On the eighty-siXth
floor will be built large observa-
tion gallery, which will be 104S
feet above Fifth avenue and will be
los by 65 feet. large enough to
hold several hundred persons. The
imagination falters before the con-
ception of this Gargantuan struc-
ture More than 100000 bricks.
more than $4,000 tons of steel, and
100000 cubic feet of stone will be
used. 1t will take IS miles of wa
ter mains to service the building
and 100000 feet of electric
light and power wiring.
Five thousand bags of cement.
$50 cubic yards of sand and 500
bags Of lime are used daily as the
building rises at the rate Of story
every "a hours under the intensive
and maryelously co-ordinated work
of 5000 men. In appearance the
building is as striking as in other
respects. Shining panels of Allie
gheny metal stretch skyward, and
contrast with the massive stone
walls in such a way that the walls
appear like giant pillars This was
not accident. New types of con-
struction have been developed to
meet the peculiar problems of
strength and beauty required for
SO mammoth structure. There
are 6400 windows. 1t was neces-
sary to find some treatment which
would provide an impression of
solidity There was also the ele-
ment of cost-window openings are
expensive.
The solution was reached, which
makes this the first building to have
the windows flush with the outer
walls, the theory being that the
outer shell is treated for what it is
"a wrapper. and not load-bearing
structural element. Sixty percent
of the structure is made of metal
The steel frame alone weighs in eX-
cess of 5000 tons-more than
most ocean liners. Alfred E. Smith,

Lone Scouting Is Suitable For
Rural Boy

For many years the Boy Scout
program was made Obtainable only
for boys living in large cities-in
places large enough to insure suf-
ficient support for its being made
successful. In a few years after the
introduction of the Boy Scouts of
ize that the boy who lived in a
small community or on a farm
needed the benefits of the Scout
program and could make as much
use of it as the boy in the city.
Accordingly officials tried to
adopt measures by which the Boy
Scout program could be given to
the rural boy A few farm boy
troops We're formed, but were not
successful and soon disbanded. Al
] this the directors began to realize
| that the Scout program as given to
the boy in the city would not be
I equally successful with the boy in
the country. When this discovery
1~as made, plans were Immediately
formulated in such way as to mod
/ ify the Boy Scout program, but
slightly, and yet have it more near
/ ly suited to the farm boy. This new
program which was the result of
modifying the Boy Scout program
in a few respects, is known as the
Lone Scout program. Therefore the
division of the Boy. Scouts which
deals mainly with the rural boys is
known as the Lone Scout division
of the Boy Scouts of America.-H.

price, 75c, is only about enough to
pay expenses. He will sow 200
acres this fall. She also tells us
that the grass hoppers riddled one
field of his corn. We had wondered
where all of the grass hoppers had
gone. In fact, we had thought the

THESE RAFFIA MATS ARE SMART.

RAMA mats for place doilies or for
hot dishes can be embroidered on can
vas. The usual ways have been to
fashion them in basket weave or to
crochet them. Both of these methods
are excellent, but If a woman prefers
to embroider rather than to crochet or
do basket weaving she can use her pre-
ferred craft and make beautiful mats.
The work can be fine or coarse or a
mingling of both kinds of stitches. A
straight stitch that extends over two.
three or even more rows of holes can
be used effectively. Embroidery de-
signs can, therefore. be followed rather
better than croSS-stitch patterns. The
latter stitch should not be employed. It
uses up material without getting any
better results. In fact, star stitch or
double croSs-stitch would be needed to
cover the foundation evenly, while the
straight or gross Gobelin stitch does
this with stingle stroke of the raffia.
These raffia mats can be made with
plain, Manufactured centerS and Dor
ders in fiat colorS. These are not by
any means as interesting or decorative
as the mats with designs carried out in
the borders and over the entire center
or field or with motifs scattered over
the surface.
There Is folkcraft or peasant style
in these mats that rather calls for gay
colors and plenty of pattern. They are
well suited to Summer cottage use and
