HANCoCK's BIRTH


nm Jan. %. 1877, John Hancock,
" an American patriot of the
Revolution, president of the Cont
mental congress, a signer Of the
Declaration of Independence, and
the first Governor of Massachusetts,,
was born in Braintree, Mass.
A graduate Of Harvard, Hancock
served for many years as one Of the
selectmen of Boston. He first at
tracted wide attention when he de-
livered bold and eloquent address
on the fourth anniversary Of the
Boston massacre.
Appointed a representive of
his state in the first Continental
congress, Hancock became its chair
man and then president. He re-
signed this position in 1z77, but re-
manned a member of congress.
In 1870 he was a member Of the
constitutional convention Of MaSsa-
chusetts and upon the adoption of
the Constitution there was elected
first Governor Of the state, in which
position he was retained by annual
elections until 1785.
After an interval of two years. he
was again Governor from 1887 until
his death.

Bell Telephone Laboratories
Devise Special Radio APP
parctus for Ai1pLdnes.
CPECIAL radio apparatus for use
- in airplanes has been developed
by the Bell Telephone laboratories.
The new apparatus IS described
by Francis M. Ryan, in charge Of
the development Of aircraft sppa-
ratus for the laboratories, in a re-
port to the Engineering Foundation,
New York.
THE high speed of airplanes and
their great dependence on weather
make it necessary for pilots to have
reliable communication with the
ground stations" Ryan says. Radio
installations in airplanes present
many difficulties not met elsewhere.
First, it IS necessary to reduce
generators, transmitters, receivers,
antennas, and other apparatus to
light weight. small volume, and
minimum interference with the
planes operating meters and con-
trolls.
The apparatus must be absolute
~ reliable, as it is usually out Of
reach Of the pilot, and repairs dur
ing fight are out Of the question.
due to the noise on most planes,
mouthpieces of special design are
necessary. In the hand-type micro
phone developed for this use. the
rubber mouthpiece is held tightly
over the lips, and practically all
noise is excluded from the trans
nitter.
The closed cavity into which the
speaker talks is so shaped as to
avoid serious distortion of speech.
In some planes it is possible to en-
ploy transmitters with much less
shielding"

CINE.
ANY one who has heard the noise
caused in a radio receiver by a
vacuum cleaner or a violet-ray ma
chine will appreciate how necessary
it is to shield the ignition system of
the planes motor" Ryan cortin-
ues. Shielding should include the
magnetic. the low-tension magnetic
circuits, the high-tension leads and
the spark plugs.
I'm addition to the shielding, it is
also necessary to bond electrically
ali metal parts of the plans to avoid
noises in the receiving equipment
from intermittent contacts between
metal parts of the plane.
If transmitting equipment is in
stalled, bonding is necessary to pro-
tect against possibility of high volt
ages between adjacent parts pro-
ducing sparks or arcs.

Watch and Wait

1T was the authors intention to
l. note down all this material and
then present it as full, complete
and authentic picture Of the past.
But one day the weedy little clerk
came into his apartment with a
sappy look upon his face. He con-
fessed that he had fallen in love
with the girl in the tobacco store
around the corner.
So, in all sincerity, I advise Cla-
rissa K. not to worry. These dreams
of hers will find in time an airport.
Perhaps it never will be the third
vice. president. But I am told that
when the moon is in the proper
quarter any pleasant young bond
salesman may become, almost with
out warning, D'Artagnan himself. 1t
has been done.

Some Of the ex-soldiers can read

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HB BEoSS

The imagination of the story
writer or of the casting director
never moves on much beyond the
potentialities of humankind. Man
has only to create something and
presently nature will initiate it to
perfection.
Goethe wrote of Werther and
presently young Germans Of his day
were shooting themselves all over
the place just because they had
caught the habit.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was written
and twenty years later there wasn't
bloodhound in the country which
could look cake of ice in the face
without leapinga on it and beginning
to bay.
Even the artists who make our
comic strips seriously have affected
conduct. In the beginning, I be-
ieve, it was a mere fiction that any
body hit on the head with dull,
blunt; object calculated "Blugl" and
saw stars.
But the other day I met an actor
upon whom a sandbag from the
flies had fallen during rehearsal. He
assured me that he most distinctly
exclaimed "Blug!" and that before
his eyes there danced planets at
play.

He Is Genuine

A FEW years ago, DR.. Albert
IN Einstein, of whom very few
ever had heard, came out with his
theory of relatively, which he ad-
mitted not more than twelve men
in all the world could understand,
yet the plain people from Warsaw
to San Francisco accepted it with
out question.
His praises were being sung by
men in the street everywhere before
trained nathematicianS could
check up his equations, Or scientists
could verify his experiments.
1t wasn't the mans genius, but
his genuineness, that the people
felt, and they felt it by means of
an agency which we yet have to
discover.
Skeptics will tell you that 1t was
just another case of the sucker
complex, such as opened the door
for Ponzi, $40 Per Cent Miller, and
Luck Box Barker, that it was no
more than a bunch, and that for
all the crowd knew, Einstein was
just as likely to be a fake as the
real thing.
The only answer to that is, he
wasn't a fake, and neither was
Lindbergh nor Byrd.

Red Hunts in the Past

The persons who will have the most cause for sor-
row If Congressman Fist's proposals for outlawing
Communism not adopted will be the Communists
themselves. Any wise Communist knows that nothing
would help his cause more than the reign of terror
which would follow the adoption of F1sh's program
The history of the country affords ample proof of
this. We have had two famous periods of red hunt
ing These the alien and sedition laws of 1889
and the Palmer inquisition after the World war
In the first instance, Jefferson the leader of the
reds" Of that period saw clearly enough that the
Federaiss had sowed the seeds of their own ruin by
these laws He understood that the inquiston would
end in the confusion of the Federalsts who passed
the laws and in the increased power and prestige of
the prosecuted
Therefore, in famous letters to Archibald Stuart

part of the Observation-Disclosures who were being
hunted down. His argument that his party should
give the Federasts plenty of rope to hang themselves
The results were just what he predicted. The per-
secuon failed The failure helped to put the Federal
lists out Of the running as major political power
Jefferson, Burr and the Democrat-Republicans won
the election of 1900 by great majority. The red
hunt collapsed in ignomnous failure, carrying down
its authors to joint oblivion.
Wilson, Palmer the election of 1920 and the eclipse
of Palmer are close enough to that extended

trated on the short-term Government
issues and has forced them to new high
prices and to o level where yields are
from q Of per cent to per cent less
than that now placed on the proposed
Government 16-year loan. The sub
scriptions to this loan will be the first
test of the willingness of institutions
and private investors with respect to
their attitude toward Government issues
OF long-term character.
In view Of the fact that nearly $780,

debtedness fall due on June IS and are
acceptable In payment for the new
obvious that the balance remaining for
public subscription is so small that 1t Is

Not all of the holders of the short term
certificates OF indebtedness will substi-
tute an l8-year bond for them, although
the rate of return on the latter is much
higher than that on their present hold

Of this has been given recently in the

an evidence that the Treasury officials
believe money will be cheap for q long
period and that they intend to do as
much Of their refunding as Is possible

This Is not consistent with the argu-
ment that the rate on the new bonds

NEW YORK, June "A volume OF

were for the cheaper lines in the ready
to-wear fields.
Price reductions averaging Is to 20
per cent greeted electrical Appliances
buyers visiting the New York market
at the opening Of the week to inspect
new merchandise for Fall. The reduc-
tions were surprise to most buyers.
A widely known toaster, for instance,
was listed at SIS which compared with
the former quotation Of Sc.
