experiment in Youngstown in conjunc-
ton with radio station WKBN,
located on top of the Y.M.C.A.
Building. Sixteen birds were released
from the roof of the building early in
the morning when the station was off

vicinity of Youngstown, but also some
from out-of-town lofts. The sixteen
birds circled but few minutes and
then we're all off in an eastward direc-
ton.
One Cleveland bird got home in two
hours. with an average speed OF sixty
miles an hour. One Pittsburgh bird
reached home in two hours. So minutes,

To determine definitely whether or
not radio waves have any effect upon
the behavior of carrier pigeons addi-

formed. scientifically conducted with
all of the precision which would be
followed in the scientific laboratory.
Measurements of the intensities of the
electric field, previous records of birds
used, the exact number of minutes
spent in circling with the radio station
on and of the air, the familiarity Of
the birds with the territory - all
these are important items. Various
birds should be used for controls.

the situation has never occurred to
him. OF all her services to him this one
is certainly "Cissie's" best. He regards
his career with dignity. common sense.
When you ask him if he thinks he will
get on with Greta Garbo with whom he
is now working on Anssa Kmsnino. he
says simply. "Of course. that is my
job"
He wants to be great actor, hopes
never to get a maudlin role. But star
dom last summer was a far less press

kittens under Stage Is. To get them
he crawled through a ventilator hole,
ruined his clothes and sent the studio

Though Freddie has decided to be a
cowboy in his spare time. wherever he
goes anecdotes of his sweetness and
his gallantry spring up which remind
you persistently of the legend of an
other gifted boy who also created hap
piness for the tired hearts of men. You
remember young "Wolferl" Mozart
who jumped on the Empress lap and
kissed her. and promised to marry the
little Archduchess Marie Antoinette
because she so kindly helped him up
when he fell on the polished floor.
When Leonebel Jacobs had finished
Freddie's portrait, he did not, to be
sure, offer to marry her. But he did
put his arms around her neck and kiss
her, assuring her that he was grateful,
that the long sittings had only seemed
like a minute, that she painted the
incest pictures he had ever seen.

but he was really tremendously pleased.
The scenery across the continent, ex-
cept for the lack of cowboys, he found
superb. On the last night of the
journey he suggested to his good
friend God that He might keep in
mind the matter of his getting the

Once down to work there was little

When carrier pigeon is taken from
its home loft and transported to diff
rent station. these sensitive nerve
fbers must cut through the earth's
magnetic field with certain definite re-
actions. quite independent of the
method of conveyance and depending
only on the distance and direction in
which the bird is transported.
When the bird is released he scars

circles until. let US say, the minute
electrical reactions give him the ieel.
all unconsciously, of the earth's mag
netic lines Of force. In his homeward
fight he thereupon follows such path
as will reverse whatever effect has
been produced in his nervous system
by the outward transportation. May
not some such mechanism take him
back sufficiently near to the environ
ment of his loft for his other scAses to
carry him through to his destination?
This, of course. is purely hypoth-
esis born of speculation and not yet
sufficiently sustained by experiment
for US to state any definite cofsclu-
sions. Such a hypothesis. however.
may prove very fruitful in guiding ex-
periments which should soon enable
us to say whether or not there is any
likelihood of it's being correct.
To come back to the possible effect
of radio station upon birds homing
intentions, we need only to add that
the electrical field of powerful broad
casting antenna might very well so
seriously disturb the nervous mechan-
ism of the bird that the directions
recorded by its subconscious gal

confused bird. therefore, is long de-
layed in his return fight OF perhaps

New York. One of the men present
at that time told me that friend of

For Alma Matters Glory.

The intimacy Of relationship between
scholarship and sport in the educational
institutions of this country has just been
illustrated by student strike at Glouces-
ter, N. j. Five hundred pupils walked
out of the high school on Monday to
enforce a demand for shorter school
day. Quite in accord with modern prac-
tice, they walked out first and explained
their position and demand later. The
explanation was that the schools foot
ball squad, which lost by humiliating
score to the team of nearby town on
Saturday, was handicapped by the lack
Of time for practice. So the student body
demanded that the hours for class ex-
4ercises should be shortened by an hour
and eight minutes daily, in order that
the pigskin pushers might have more
chance to tougher themselves and learn
signals and otherwise prepare for the
real battles of life. The strikers were
somewhat weakened by the stern attitude

tration and gradually returned to their
class work, while parental influence later
brought to bear served to reduce the
ranks of the obdurate to handful. The
strike, in short, fizzled, and the prospect
is that the Gloucester foot ball squad will
have to get along as well as 1t can with
the shorter time for practice.
Whether the sixty-eight minutes that
were demanded by the students for the
sake Of the foot ballers are more profit
ably spent on the Latin, algebra, history,
science and literature that comprise the
greater part of the curriculum of the
high school is hardly to be considered
question solely for the determination Of
the students themselves. OF course, they
are possibly better judges Of the value of
the prestige of victory on the field as
against more thorough training within
walls. Values have gone rather awry in
latter years and there is no telling just
what the adolescent ratings in educa-
tional work actually are. Rivalry for
held glory is certainly one Of the most
potent factors in the course Of juvenile
training, affecting virtually the entire
student body and not confined merely
to the participants. The problem of the
educator is to find a way of persuasion
that is not drastic or harsh to convince
the student body of the futility of grid
iron triumphs as factor in preparation
for the foundation for successful career
in adult life.
