UNCLE RAYS CORNER ER-Scentists Numbers Led to Rodio

In these days of many wonders
people have radios in their homes
Now and then one may stop to ask,
How did the radio come to be?" OF
"Who invented the radio?"
The second question has come to
me in letters from readers more
often than the first. 1t points to
the belief that one man gave the
radio to the world.
The fact is that the radio was
not invented all at once, or by a
single person. It came. step by
step. over period of more than
half century, then suddenly "blos-
somed." In this story, and in others
to come, I should like to tell some
thing about the adventures which
led to it.
At first the adventures were in
science. A young teacher at King S
College, London. thought out an
idea, but made no model. His name
was James Clerk Maxwell and he
was a native of Scotland.
Clerk Maxwell had studied elec-
tricity and also light. In those days
1t was believed that light waves
moved by mechanical action.
Maxwell did work to prove that
light is of much the same nature
as electricity. Working ION paper"
and making great use of numbers,
he tried to prove this point: "If
electric waves are sent through
space they will travel at the same
speed as light"
The speed of light is just about

Don't Take
Ny Word for 1t

Ambassador

This word, mispronounced "am.
bass-s -dore" Cthe last syllable rhym.
ing with bore, core, is the especial
darling of newscasters, commenta-
tors and radio "colyumists"
Yet the truth of the matter is, the
"-ore" sound in such words, as am
bassador, factor, conductor, sector
legislator, realtor, has no sanction
whatever. 1t is as unnecessary as
1t is pompous.
In these and similar words the

ary will attest.
Correct pronunciation: Am BASS

Capitals indicate syllables to be

Question: Which is the correct

Answer-"Fiance" is masculine
"fancee' Is feminine.

was playing with an idea" No
one at the moment, so far as Is
known, had any fancy about the
modern radio. Yet it was an idea
which had something to do with
leading toward the radio.
The next part Of our story took
place in Germany, 81 years later.
when a man named Heinrich Hertz
started to make tests with eiec-
tricity. Hertz had studied the idea
of Clerk Maxwell. He believed it to
be true and wanted to prove it be-
yond all doubt.
This scientist fitted up a spark

The agents grouped the sisters in a chapel where the holy sacrament was exposed, the report said, and suddenly one of the men jumped on a chair and began screaming that the sisters wasted their time in pray ing.
 "There is no God" he was said to have shouted, "for if there was a God we should hot be here"
 The report said that priests were continuing their work, in secret and at the risk of their lives in some areas.
 In its first section, dealing with the archdiocese of Gniezno of which Cardinal Hlond IS archbishop, the report relates incidents of persecu- tion and then says ...
 German authorities, especially the gestapo, prosecute the Catholic clergy, who live in terror and are continually threatened the Germans have shot the following priests There follow the names of 10 priests, the name of one priest is given who was said to have beenk beaten to death by soldiers with the butts of their rifles; or another who died under "treatnent"; of another killed by bomb.
 Dozens of priests are in prison where they are being humiliated, beaten and maltreated," continues the report. "A certain number of them have been deported to Ger many and there is no news of them. Others have been placed in concen- tration camps"
 Priests who are arrested are forced to do hard labor if they cannot pay for their food and lodging" in pris- on, 1t Is charged.
 The report continues: "At Bydgoszcoz (Bromberg) in Sep- tember about 5000 men were con- fined in 8 stable where there was not even room to sit down. There was assigned for their natural needs the corner of the same stable and the Rev. Casimir Stebczynski, par ish priest, was forced together with & Jew to carry away by hand human excrement the vicar Adam Musial, who offered to replace the venerable priest, was brutally beaten with a rifle butt
 1tSwas said that one priest at Znin was arrested in the street while giving extreme unction to a dying person. He was wearing his stole and surplice.
 His robes were torn from his body and the holy sacrament profaned," the report said.
 The report continues to say how Catholic marriages could not be celebrated because Nazis forbade a blessing of any but a civil ceremony, and Poles would not have these.
 By now there are entire districts in which the churches are closed, priests expelled, the faithful without sacraments," the report said, while in remaining territories divine cults and ecclesiastical life are being ex- tinguiShed."
 The report charged that the Ger. mans had begun campaign of ex- termination of Polish citizens such as Hitler foreshadowed in his book, "Mein Kampf," as a capital point of Germany policy ana, 1t was said, one of the causes and aims of Ger tnanys attack on Poland.
 This extermination is continuing without interruption and takes the shape of preverse sadism," said the report. We can not help but refer to this as one of the most serious er1ormities of all history.
