The Wingham Advance, 1923-09-13, Page 4There are a'great number of an1a-
leafs •who own transmitters and they
09tri rrunicate with each other on the
:rshorter'' wave -lengths . under ?oo met-
airs- Some oftheir; transmitters are
;very efficient and some excellent re -
,cords h;ve been established at various
times, Last week an amateur in
.Texas was sending out a message to
"friend and a vessel near Ceylon
picked, up the message; very clearly
And identified the sender. 'l;liis is a
•little over 1100 allies 'and is a record
for amateur transmission,
Fadingis a troublesome feature of
radio which is very hard' to explain.;
A number of scientists who have been
studying this trouble have come to,
the conclusion that radio waves tri -
vel along lines 'of equal pressure, BY
the use of barometers and weather
,maps points of clear reception have
been plotted and it has been found
that the predictions, were usually true.
In future the radio fan Will require.
a barometer and daily weather chart
to enable him to predict periods of
"Fgoon
reception,

The ° Detroit Police Broadcasting
station "KOP" : is having : excellent
success int the recovery. of stolen cars,
This station sends out each dray a list
of stolen cars together with their num-
bers, Every listener is requested to
take down the details and to be on
the lookout for these cars. Substant-
ial rewards are sometimes offered. ,
No signals have been received for
some time from the McMillan ex-
pedition 'which left some time ago on
a tripto the: North Pole. Consider
-
'able anxiety is f„ felt for the safety of
• ;tbe,expiorers. They carried a power
ful_sach transmitter.'

Several radio'comass stations have
been in' operation. onthe Great Lakes
for some trine. Whenever the captain
of a ship loses his bearings during a
storm he instructs his radio operator
to send out the -pre -arranged signal
requesting a bearing. When the com-
pass station picks up this message,
,they advise the operator and he con-
tines to repeat certain letters. By
mans of delicate radio receivers the
compass station operator is enabled
to.calculateaccurately the exact lati
tilde' and longitude'' +of the ship and
this information is promptly supplied
to the captain.

TH.E WRONG HAND
Two ladies boarded a crowded
street car and were obliged to stand.
One of them, to steady herself, •took
hold of what she supposed was her
friend's hand. After standing thus
for a few minutes she looked down
and discovered to her embarrassment
that she was holding a man's hand.
"Oh," she gasped, "I've got ' the
wrong hand."
The man withdrew his hand, and
with a smile, heldout the other, "It's
all right, Miss;' he said, "here's the
other one."

SONGS WITHOUT SENSE
There has been a goodg deal of com-
ment:00 the lack of ense in the song,
"Yes, We Have No Bananas." But
we need ..not be overwhenlmed with
gloom > because 'of the popularity of
yerses .which ;mean nothing. The.
song's the thing. If the air is "catchy"
and easily sung it will achieve suc-
cess no matter what the words may
Hymn
be. "The Battle of the Repub-
lic"
Re
lic" is a,much finer poem than"John
Brown's Body," but the latter holds.
the field because people will not take
the trouble, to memorize, Julia Ward
Howe's fine patriotic effusion, .and.
also because the words cannot be
comfortably fitted into a singing line.
Laborious efforts have°'been made to
change the lines, "Here we go gath-
ering Nut's in -•May, on a cold and
frosty morning," into something that
will be scientifically correct; but the
children do not care whetherit makes
sense or not, and probably,the author
was equally indifferent, to the confus-
ion of the seasons. "A little non-
sense now and then is relished by the
wisest men". -The Globe.-

ALL THE C:HUta;CHES AT ONCE
The "Committee of One Hundred"
being the. aggressive organization of
Philidelphia Methodist Men lately
sent out 39 questions concerning the
church to about x,000' representative
leaders in the United States. The re-
plies were critical but on the whole
very much to the credit of the church.
Some testified that it was the one ins.
stitution in the world which had an
assured futufe; that it stood for the
best things in life. its influence was
working powerfully for the ultimate
freedom 'of the human race and that
it was gaining in spite of Sunday
golf, and every other attraction. It
is reported that the physicians were
among the most critical.
It is. 32 years since Rev. Sheldon
Jackson, the great missionary in Alas-
ka .saw the .commercial value of the
reindeer to the people there. Veni
son has become more valuable than
beef as a food and there are noHw over
loo herds with a total of two hundred
thousand animals, This has given
Dr. Grenfellthe idea of developing
the industry in. Labrador. He has
imported several from Lapland with
men skilled in their, breeding.
Dr, Sherwood and Mrs. Eddy have
been addressing large meetings of
students and • graduates in Cairo,
Egypt. While in China in the same
work he had an interpreter who is re-
ferred to as "being inspired." He
not only translated the message for
the native hearers but was t able to imi-
tate the very gestures, spirit and elo-
quence
lo
quence of the speaker. His name is
Mr. • Chu and became a Christian
while studying • engineering in Eng-
land.
There is stall a very active body of
Pontificia] Zouaves in Canada. Their
claim to' distinction is based upon ser-
vices rendered to. the Pope in 1860
when the Italian Government was en-
croaching upon the rights of the Pa-
pal States. But their history reaches
back to 1831 when a French regiment
was recruited from men from a fierce
African tribe in Algeria The present
members of the Canadian Zouaves
are mostly young men whose fore-.
fathers were among those whoa rallied
to the Papal Flag from all parts of
the world. Thus ' they maintainthe.
traditions and keep. alive the memor-
ies of their ''fathers' deeds. One of
the few survivors, Joseph Bussiere,
resides in Montreal..•
Dr. J. H. Jowett has so far recover-
ed in health that his articles in the re-
ligious press are re -appearing. Dr.
Jntton, the Scottish Presbyterian
who has been induced as successor to
Dr. Jowett in the Westminister Con-,
gregational Church, London, Eng.,
has come again to speak • at North-
field and other American conventions.
His pulpit will be filled by Dr. Harris
E.E. Kirk of Baltimore. The World
Conference of. Orangemen 'will- meet
in 'Winnipeg-. Rev. T. J.• Willianis-
Fisher M.A., L.L.D., deputy Grand
Chaplain of England and Rev,�Dr. ,
Ness, the Scottish Grand Master are
among the distinguished visitors.
The last meeting of the Archdea-
conry of Albany N. Y. was a real
mission and inay set an example of
aggressive work. Bishop Oldham,
Archdeacon Brooks and fifteen of the
clergy in automobiles visited every
church and mission in the • deanery
and organized a final rally of dele-
gates from all the villages and towns,.
At three points services were begun
where for years the work had becomes
dormant,

by demonstrations of approval and":'
when at the close of a moving peror-
