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, tati cis another er trouble ore feature but nov that the cooler weather is setting in, static c -will be gradually •e,liinated. 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.' . o 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.

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.- -t 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.

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, The "Hector" with its - load, of Home -seeking Highlanders which en- tered the .almost unknown 'harbor.oF Pictou, Nova Scotia, 150 years ago has. been compared to the "Mayflower"' and its Puritan Liberty -loving settlers xs Who founded ` theNewEn la wo o g n: States.
