ECOkING A GREATER FACTOR IN PUBLIC EDUCATION
Short Wave Radio
Of InestimabIe Value

Radio has proven its worth as
a safeguard against fatal disas-
ters, in the air, on land, and at
sea. Not only does it serve as
a direction guide, but 1t keeps
the men who set forth on haz-
ardous expeditions, in touch with
the outside world, enabling them
to call for help when danger
turks nearby.
An impressive example of the
inestimable value of the short
wave radio. is its use. and almost
perfect tunctioning in the re-
cent submarine polar expedition
of Sir Hubert wilkins. The radio
was one Of the few scientific
devices used that worked con.
siStently and well. Except for a
threeday period, Sir Hubert was
in constant communication with
his bases.
There are two research sta
tions, one in England an ! one IN
Scotland, that are using a spe-
cial form OF short wave eppara-
tus in tracking storms. Radio
engineers in these stations have
achieved marked success in fol,
lowing a storm and predicting
quite accurately where 1t will hit,
and when. They can measure its
intensity before its arrival, and
can tell the direction of the
winds-where they come from
and where they are going.

Proves Boon
To Schools,
Colleges

The tremendous value Of radio
as an uplifting influence IN the
general culture and education Of
the masses is without parallel.
It's appreciation and use as equip
ment, by schools and colleges,
where it had its beginning as an
educational factor, exemplifieS
its important advantages.
At first its value, in proportion
to its cost was questioned. Now,
however, with radios inclusion OF
literatur9, music, science, art,
religion, and innumerable other
Illuminating subjects in its broad
c-ets, authorities consider it a
legitimate public expenditure.
The objectives of education as
set forth by the National Educa-
tia Association are as follows:
CD Health and Safety. (O
Worthy Home Membership, CD
Mastery of Tools, Technics, and
Spirit cf Learning, "a Faithful
Citizenship, (5) Vocational and
Economic Effectiveness. (6) Wise

include farming problems, gov
eminent activities, correct diction,
child study. music. art, adventure,
travel, and many others. In
short, every possible phase of
education and culture, and gen.
eral enlightenment. In these
subjects, experts, people who have
made exhaustive studies of them,
are employed. to give the public
the benefit of their profound
knowledge.

Searchlight Was Forgotten.

The largest searchlight in the world,
a General Electric arc light mounted
atop the City Hall in University City,
Mo-, again nightly plays its beams
across the greater part of Missouri and
part Of Illinois. This light, equipped
with an 80-inch protector and having
special lens five feet in diameter,
produces 250,000,000 candlepower and
is visible at distance of ITS miles on
clear nights. The searchlight is mount
ed on an electric elevator on which 1t
is raised through the roof when in USE
In 1904 E. G. Lewis, founder of
University City, had the General
Electric Co. place this huge searchlight
in the dome of the Octagon Building
When Mr.. Lewis left University City a
number of years later, use of the
searchlight was discontinued and its
existence forgotten. Recently, when the
city purchased the Octagon Building
for its City Hall, interest in the giant
searchlight was revived and it was
restored.

WET SNAKES
 BREAK DROUGHT

Chicago, CUP)-When mem- bers of the Bagesu tribe in Africa wish to break g. drought they get a snake drunk on beer; then if it rains too much they use the same method to bring back the sun shine, according to a story of oe legends and superstitions brought back from there by Wilfred D.. Hambly, who led an expedition for the Field Museum.
 The weird rain and sun super stition Is described in Hambly' s book as follows:
 When rain is needed the Ba- priest to a spring in which a snake lives. Nearby they construct a large trough, which they fill with to attack them, it gets drunk on the beer, and while In helpless condition it's fangs are removed. From the well 1t has left unguard- ed they fill pots with water. The water thus drawn Is believed to at- tract rain, which will continue to fall until stopped by the priest When 1t is desired to stop the rain the snake is again tempted to indulge too freely in beer, the wa tcrpots are then overturned. the rain ceases, and the sun shines to ripen the harvest.
 Among certain tribes snakes are regarded as the reincarnation of the souls of dead people. and treated with ancestral reverence There also are beliefs in the af- nnity of certain living peoples souls with those of snakes, where by the persons involved derive spe- cial powers, usually for evil doing"

FAMED PALACES OF MANCHUS IN
 CHINA RENTED
Peiping Trying Experi- ment in Forbidden City
 District

Peiping. (UP)-Several of the former Manchu palaces In this city are offered for rent on short or long leases. Some families already have leased palaces in the Nan Hai (South Seas) park, and write the address Forbidden City" on their stationery.
 Experiments with renting former palaces were begun last year, when the Summer Palace, favorite recre- ation ground of the late Empress Dowager in the suburbs of Peiping. was thrown open to foreign and Chinese tenants. It's success led to opening the Forbidden City, in the center of this ancient capital.
 Opening of the Forbidden City, declares Mayor Chou Ia Wen. is a definite move to make Peiping a great tourist center, and to in- duce tourists to stay long time. Rents have been fixed very low. so that at the present rtae of ex- change, apartments in imperial palaces are available at about $20 (gold( month. Entire palaces are available at $75 (gold).
 The palaces are one-story wood en structures, built around lovely rock gardens in pure Chinese style. They have been renovated, and have electric lights and running water. If the experiment sue coeds they probably will be fitted with modern plumbing.
 The Nan Hai Is one of the three imperial pleasure gardens here, covering more than 50 acres in the heart of the city. It has a beautiful artificial lake, with arti- ficial islands containing rock gar dens, and some of the palaces now offered for rent are on these islands. It's lotus pond is one of the most famous in China.

 Naturally, most of the collection consists of French money, from coppers up to 1,000-franc notes. Five franc notes,/ which are worth about 20 cents, are in the ma jority.
 Many American coppers find their way into the collection riate. along with the nickels, dimes. quarters and dollar bills. Next to French and American banknotes those from Belguim are most numerous.
 Money from England, Italy, Switzerland and Germany is very frequent, while the currencies oi Sweden, Bulgaria, Rumania and Portgual are seen. but less ire quently.

BRITISH FIND EXPORT TRADE
 SLIPPING AWAY
Contendedness and Post
 War Dehation Blamed for Situation
By ARTHUR F. DEGREvE ryutsod prcss Eeaff (JOFreSDOndent)

fUnIted Press Stan CoFrespondent)
 London-After backing content edly in the sunshine of profitable foreign markets for many years, Great Britain has awakened sud- denly to the fact that many have slipped away from her and others are threatened.
 The disastrous upheaval cannot be attribute dto one cause, and enither, said a well known econo- mist here, can a single cure-all be prescribed. Much of the blame Is attributed to the position in which industry found itself after the early postwar deflation, which prevented speedy, efficient ration alization.
 Banks found foreign investments more alluring than home offerings. The industrialist, firmly convinced that his market was secure Tor all time an dthat the slogan British and Best" was all that was neces- sary to sell his goods. ignored the increasing competition of other nations.
 old Methods Used.
 Antiquated marketing. sales and distribution methods were main- tained and no efforts made to modernize them. Meantime the United States, under the guidance of President Hoover, then Secre- tary of Commerce, began an at- tack on foreign markets. The hrst to fall was South America, which in 1913 imported 28 per cent Of It's products for Great Britain.
 Although it is still good GUS toner of Britain. the percentage of local manufacturers share of the business has dropped approxi- mately 10 per cent. The general strike of 1926 further paralyzed industry, and since then British trade has continued its downward slump.
 A slight improvement was noted for May, when the total exports value was placed at $169,500,000, as compared with $163,000,000 during April 1890. However. there was a serious drop in May. as compared with the same month of the previous year.
 Fluctuations shown.
 The following table reveals the fluctuations in British trade in re- cent years:
 Exports Imports 1928. .f653,046,909 f1,241.361,909 1928. 723,579,089 95,598,313 1929.. 72s,349,322 f,220,766.300 1930.. 570,952,946 1,044,840,194
 Imports for the first five months of 1891 totaled approximately $1.746,674.725, whereas exports to- taled $848.620,590.
 The continued depressed in the iron and steel industry was em- phasizde by figures for May 1931. Theyl showed exports of 168,000 tons, as compared with 309,000 in May, 1880. However, the value of new ships and boats exported dur ing May, 1881, totaled $12,265, ,000 an increase of $3.455,000 compared

schools remain closed due to the infantile paralysis epidemic, the teachers will receive their annual pay but this will not start until school has commenced it's sessions
 This was learned today from school authorities questioned rela- tive to when the teachers would start to get their remuneration: There will probably be a school year as is prescribed pS law as va cation days during the year will be eliminated from time to time.
 "It, is impossible to give any teacher any pay until we find out how many of them are working and which of them are on the pay roll" said one school official today
 Many of the teachers who are on vacations will not return until the schools are officially opened.
 School officials spiked the rumor that teachers lose several weeks pay by the postponement or the opening. ,u

with the same month of 1890.
 Strife in India and civil wars in China have dealt a serious blow to the textile industry. Exports of cotton piece goods to India during May totaled 36,100,00 square yards, 3,100,00 square yards less than in April. Exports in woolen and wosted yarns have shown a tend ency to improve; however, no gains are anticipated in exports of artificial silk tissues, which are 40 per cent below 1890.
 Rc-cxEorts Less.
 The value of re-exports in May was $18,500,000 nearly 37 per cent lass than in May, 1930. Coal ex- ports have been greatly reduced by increasing use of oil and hydro electric power, and in addition. Britain lost her Scandinavian coal markets to Poland and Germany.
 That Britain is fully awake to the critical position of her foreign trade Is shown by the determined fights she is waging to regain some of her lost industrial prestige. The drive, indirectly, is led by a mem- Der Of the royal family, the Prince of Wales, who, accompanied by his
