A question about radio has come
from reader, who writes:
"Sir James Jeans says radio waves
travel twice around the world in
about half a second. When they
reach q certain height, they come
back to earth, after rebounding
from ionized gas high above the
earth.
Il gather from some data that
radio waves do not move through
things that are in their way but
get around the curve Of the earth
as Jeans says. Maybe he's right.
just as maybe you are right"
In reply, I wish to say, maybe
we are both right" Radio waves
do have the power to move through
things that are in their way" as
I said in my article. That is proved
every day in the year. Radio waves
go through the walls of houses and
other buildings. and come out of
the loudspeakers in our radios.
Some one might say: But the
radio waves strike aerials, which
are OUTSIDE the housesl" That
Is true In many cases, but in other
cases the aerials are inside the
homes. Small radio sets with built
IN aerials are growing common,

and to reach them the radio waves
must come through the walls Of
our homes.
Radio waves differ in that way
from light waves. A light wave is
stopped by a piece of wood, or a
block of stone, but electric radio
waves can cut through them.
Some radio waves (but not all
of them) play game Of "hop,
skip and jump" They go upward,
then bounce down again.
A message from short-wave
radio station may not be heard at
q distance of 100 miles. A person
100 miles away might suppose the
message was too weak to. reach
him, but that probably would not
be the case. Another person, at
distance of 1000 or 1000 miles,
perhaps would hear every word!
That sort Of thing puzzled
scientists until they found q way
to explain It. Layers Of ionized gas
are believed to exist at heights
of go to $50 miles. When rising
radio waves strike this gas, some
may get through it, but it seems
that most of them are made to
bounce back to earth.

A NEW DEFINITION
OF .SURPLUS.

Of "SlhPLlS"
Editor, The Times: Definition
of surplus" today seems to be
something the other fellow has
that you want at the least pos
sible cost to yourself.
The government, as a distribu-
tor to the unemployed, sets a
price on surplus products. II
pays for containers and harvest
ing or picking, but does not pay
one cent to the producers. Who
has been feeding the people these
last years, the government or the
farmer?
Then another big hearted
friend comes along looking for
some more surplus. The govern
ment has set the price so the
chain stores bive a few cents
more. II it were not for direct
sales and small stores the only
way a grower would make a
labor dollar would be to pick
all his crop and manufacture
the containers.
After a time the farmer turns
his pocket inside out. For what
is he searching Profit There
Is none.
Another branch Of the gov
ernment-one that would make
q pawn broker blush-appesrs,
informing the farmer his paw
ments are overdue and the gov
eminent must take over his
property and place It in stronger
hands. Speaking Of shell games.
there never was an equal 10
this.
In years past when our parents
pioneered in different sections;
when taxes were $40 and $40
per family. surplus was loaded
on the old wagon in the form Of
sorgum care. a few sacks Of
wheat or corn and taken to the
mill.

Of crops. the average person
thinks more Of the equality Of
