her menus include plenty of fresh

that a flawless complexion Is

MICHIGAN FORCES AHEAD IN
GRANGE ACTIVITIES

Few sections in this grange field
of the United States have seen such
noteworthy advance in the past
three or four years as in the state
of Michigan, where during that pc
riod a net membership gain of more
than 30% has been made, new or
ganizations have been numerous,
old subordinate units have been re-
viyed, and in all directions grange
activity has been spreading.
The grange in Michigan in very
real sense is the spokesman of farm
interests, and has made it's influence
strongly felt for many decades. It
has been particularly useful in COM
bining the energies Of the farm peo-
pie in cooperative purchases, main

President Taylor was military

When Lincoln was inaugurated

RADIO STATIC SlEUTHS
IN CANADA

When radios in Canada go mi.
rrrpK, listeners ask the government
at Ottawa to put snoise detective"
on the Job. This 'static sleuth, :"
writes James Montagnes in the Ro-
tartan Magazine, is specialist liz
tracing to it's source any of the CUR
giles, squeals, crashes, whistles, Or
other noises marring radio reception.
Canada says Mr.. Montagnes,
'Thas a corps of such radio noise de-
tectives, travelling about the coun-
try and in the larger cities, working
with 81 cars in all, equipped with
the utmost in sensitive and dlrec-
tional radio receivers, with labora-
tory apparatus to cope with every
type of noise which may bother a
radio listener.
''Simply explained, radio disturb
ances caused by faulty electrical
equipment travel from the source
along the power line, send out cleo
trical currents which are picked up
by the aerial attached to your re-
ceiver, and SO are heard in the loud
speaker.
s.The new Canadian Radio Act,
which went into effect in November
continues Mr. Montagnes, "gives the
noise sleuths power to enforce their
findings All radio nOiSe-making
equipment must be corrected or not
used And old-style interference
causing receivers may no longer be
used. The air must be cleared for
pleasant listening. Noises must be-
stopped.
radio noise seems to be as
elusive as fly. There is no let-up
in the number of complaints. AS
soon as one job is done there are
others which must be tackled. This
keeps nearly 100 men busy the year
round across the Dominion. But the
radio noise detectives have not
worked in vain The. official report
shows the noise level has gone down
despite the increasing number OF
super-sensitive receivers now being
used
'.Other countries are investigating
Canada's system. In the United
States, engineers of radio and elec
trical manufacturing concerns are
working on similar scheme OF
noise detecting to test new electri-
cal apparatus, SO that by the time
it reaches the market it will not
cause radio noises All the exper-
ience of the Canadian government
has been placed at the disposal OF
this trade body American public
utilities frequently call on the
Canadian service for help in solving
power house problems, because they
have heard that the radio noiss
sleuths can find trouble in a power
house or on lines which the best en-
gineers cannot trace. The noise
sleuths have saved power companies
thousands of dollars finding hidden
faults which the usual meters and
gauges do not show"
