By BROADCASTER

At a recent addition held for
a Would.be radio star at one of
Washington's major stations, the
following conversation was over
heard:
Announcer: "Well, I'm not sure
we can use you at this time.
Your voice is fair but your
technique could stand a little i'm
provement. If I were you I'd
brush up on the proper use of
the vowels." r
Vocal instructor (who came
along to witness the, triumph of
his star pupiD: "Oh, we have, sir.
Time and again have I stressed
the proper use of the vowels.
Why, we must have spent hours
working on the SIS along!"
All of which goes to illustrate
that of the various tasks which
radio men are called upon to
perform, perhaps holding an audi
ton becomes more ,distasteful at
times than any other.
Rudolph Schramm, leader Of
the Washington Gas Light Com
pany Orchestra, happened in last
summer on the Governments
broadcasting station in the capi-

tastes, Schramm decided to look
over the transmission plant.
Later he had cause to regret his
curiosity.
While examining an American
made ammeter, his hand touched,
ever so gently, an exposed cleo

DIAMOND DRILL |S USED ID PROSPECT
 PLACER IN NEVADA

LOVELOCK, New, July g. (P)- Pershing county started on it's first diamond drilling program re- gently when Paul Gunia of Pitts burgh, Pa, arrived and took charge of the outfit that will explore the placer ground owned by Harry E. Springer in Rabbit Hole Canyon, four miles southwest of Sulphur, says the Denver Mining Record.
 The Pennsylvania Drilling Com pany of Pittsburgh is the owning and operating company of the ma chnery and Harry Springer the resident agent. It is understood that the project is going forward on a cooperative contract between MT. Springer and the company.
 Location work on the property has shown good values. By means of the drilling method used, the ground will be explored to bed rock, Springer stating that they would be lucky to hit it at l20 feet.
 Advantages held out for the drilling method of exploration are numerous. It is said to be cheap Ter to drill a hole from five to three inches in diameter, getting sam |ples every yard, than dig an ex- pensive tunnel. Holes can be put in at any angle. The castings serve as the drill in soft ground. When boulders are encountered or bedrock hit, a diamond drill is put down thru the casing and tcuts away Instructions. Samples obtained are not mutilated but the nature of the deposit as well as its content can be easily learn ed. The diamond drill is studied with diamonds which do the cut ting. The drill alone is said to cost from $1,500 up.
 The type of exploration is said to be best adapted to the location of large bodies of ore. When a drilling program is started, as a rule if nothing is discovered in the first hole, the work is cut off short. The results of drilling de- termine the number of holes that
 will be put down.

We have in mind cheery outstanding and white haired man, 60 years of who seems to radate good cheer and knows how to build and how to teach Familiar with social welfare york; he has set bones and administered medicines to the native people at lglo0 Kashega and Egegk and has erected a modern school at Akutan; flown the Nondaton district in which region he successful in securing school and teach craze we'll other buildings
 By the of airpanes and radio he secured another school at Newhalen, which was very badly needed and which will great many natives from both up and down the Iiamna Lake country.
 In fact this have in mind seems to have wonderful insight as to the needs of these outofthe way places and apparently goes after what he wants in an energetic way that is both pleasing to the natives and to his immediate superors
 E. w. Hunnicutt is the gentleman referred to and who happens to be ill Seward today. He probably will blush when he reads this tribute but believe in say ing nice things about sincere felow-worker while he is in the land of the living instead of laying wreath over him when he passes on-and then singing a psalm He enjoy these few words now; when he's gone, what difference will it make
 Like good soldier on the firing line, Mr. Hunn cutt doesn't ask questions; an order IS just what the word implies and he steps into whatever task is as signed to him with vigor which would put many men half his age to shame For years Hunnicutt has been connected with the government in many and varied positions. and each and every. one he has filled to the highest degree of satisfaction to all concerned For years past he has been associated with the Bureau of Education recently transferred to the Bur- eau of Indian Affairs.
 For number of years Mr. Hunnicutt was actively interested in reindeer work in Alaska and it is sub ject which he never becomes weary; his investga- hons in this connection have carried him far afeld and his studies continuous So much so, that it is his desire to be transferred to that branch of the Feder al Department He has original ideas this subject and desires the opportunity to put them into practice
 This is the type of worker Uncle Sam wants, one who has initiative ambition and deep interest in his work. If it's reindeer work he desires; put him important detail. He'll make good, because back of this veteran years of practical experience the only thing of real value when the final summing up is made.

lmpromptu Review Pleases Congressman at c. M. T. C.

Camp Devens, Mass, July 10-The
citizens military training camp here
entertained two visitors of distinc-
ton to-day in rapid succession
amply demonstrating the fact that
the United States army is always
ready for inspection. Hon Edward
Wheeler Goss of the house of repre-
sentatives, 5th congressional district
of Connecticut, arrived at Devens
day at $50 a. m. Congressman
Goss, who is deeply interested in
the question of national defense and
who is member of the military af-
fairs committee of the House was
particularly impressed by the splen-
did work done by the officers of the
418th Infantry in training the CMTC
regiment. When escorted to the
parade ground by the camp COM
mander, Colonel John B. Schoeffel
he found all the infantry units bus
lily at work under their platoon and
company commanders. 1t was de-
cided to put the young citizen SOL
diers to real test and an i'm
promptu review was ordered. AS

inspection were Colonel F. f. Adams
of Darien, Conn, and Lieutenant
Colonel r. f. Rice and Major Har-
ry j. Beardsley, both of Waterbury,
Conn.
After luncheon at the officers
club, Congressman Goss visited the
camp swimming pool and witnessed
demonstration of life saving put
on by CMTC students under their
swim ming instructor, Major Jack
son Palmer, returning to the post in
time to see a formal infantry guard
mount demonstrated with all the
regulation ceremonies. Before leav-
ing for New York at 2:3O p. m. he
expressed his keen appreciation of
the splendid work done by the camp
commander, Colonel Schoeffel, and
the regular army officers at Devens
in intoxicating the principles of pat
riotism, discipline and fair play in
the young men entrusted to their
care.
At 2:30 p. m. Captain Adolph Won
