Now. as a matter of fact. it is not
quite courteous for your friend to
go further than to ask your conn-

she should not tell you matters con-

UN G Mr. Tibbets walked slowly

past the parsonage, giving a
sldelong glance at the vine-
hum,‘ veranda. The glance revealed
a pleasant gathering of empty chairs
-—nothing more. He sighed heavily
and quickened his pace. Just then
the humorous face of the parson
himself popped over the hedge, he
was holding a garden trowel in his
hand.
"How do you 'do. Ralph?” he said
quickly, thexi, “looking for Eve?"
"No—yes—no—bf course I am, sir."
he ended with an awkward laugh.
“Is she at home, Mr. Spencer?"
"i believe she is." admitted the
Reverend Mr. Spencer with a muddy
finger on his lip. “I don't mind tell-
ing. you, Ralph, my boy, that she is
in the orchard picking up apples and
-—hum! the boy has gone—impetu-
ous very, these young people of
today!" and the clergyman dropped
down to his task of digging around

By the time Mr. Spencer‘s thin
knees had reached the sod, young
Mr. Tibbeis had squeezed himself
through a thin place in the hedge,
sealed the orchard fence and was,
speeding toward his adored one. A
gallant young knight he might up-

cheeked apples. Overhead was. the

"Lo. Evie.“ saluted Ralph nearing

impolitcly. turning another page.
"How are you. Tibbs?"

the grass. his wistful eyes on her
indifferent face. “My new care has
come. Eve—u on ‘t you come out with
me after supper?"

Eve managed to look interested.
"You didn’t tell me that you were
going to buy a new car, Tibbs,” she
reproachéd him.

“Wanted to surprise you."

"“‘hat make is it?"

He told her. describing its splen-
dors in detail, adding, “you‘ll come.
won't you. Evie?“

"Sorry. honestly I am, Tibbs, but
I promised to drive out to the cliffs
with June Drake—he asked me
first." '

“That's all right. “Eve. Julian has

ting up and shaking himself vigor-

laughed ruetully as he went off.

“Ralph. my dear. I am so glad that
I caught you in time! We want you
for supper—fried chicken and peach

my dear."

"Thank you. Mrs. Spencer—I ought
not to-—-but it's surely tempting.
Father is going to the lodge tonight
and will not come home from the

"I know it. dear. and you are

the more because there was a suspi-
cion of tears in his gray eyes. "Come
along with me, and telephone to
Miss Smith and your father."

Miss Smith “as housekeeper for
the Tibbetses, father and son.

Supper was a happy meal at the
parsonage, and when it was over
Ralph had to remember that Eve's
sweet smile and merry quips were
{or him as her brother—«not the
lover he could be. Awkwardly for
him June Drake in his big car came
noisily to the gate sndpicked up
Eve before Ralph could get away.
He went moodily home slouching
across the smooth black roadin the
early duel: Suddenly; a racing hum
grew louder. a glaring light blinded
him. something struck him viciously.
and left him behind. lie did not
know that the car stopped, that
someone cried piteously over him as
he was carried into the parsonage
and up the” stairs. Followed :1. long
period of unconsciousness broken by
sounds~soft weeping—voices.

"Am 1 dead?" he asked icebly, and
somebody kissed him gently. It com—
foriod him to think it was Eve
Spencer—but in his delirium she was
alunys riding away with the other
man. Then he awoke to blindness-
his father was there sometimes—the
person—Mrs. Spencer. His rather
told him the blindness was only

ting in a nurse.

The nurse was a quiet. soft little
thing who spoke in whispers as she
waited on him. 0: course he knew
that Eve was off riding or dancing
with June Drake, but he liked to
think that Eve was his nurse. "Do
you mind if I call you ‘Eve'?” he
asked one day. Her tears fell on
his white face.

"Tibbsy dear, I am Eve!" she
whispered. putting her face down to
his. "an you ever forgive me for
treating you so-you see I didn’t
know—who it was that I really loved
—-untll—-until you were hurt?"

He sat right up in bed, seeing her
as a. dim shadow beside him. "Who
is it—that you found you loved?" he
asked humbly. expecting as always
to hear the‘name of some other man.
He could hear it better sitting up—
facing the fact. "Who is it that you
love?” he repeated.

«-Why._you, or course!” and to
prove it Eve kissed him. and then
only then. did Tibbs realize‘that he
had come into his own at last.

tween radio and earthquakes

is the contention of 8. Paris
scientist and writer, Monsieur
Robert Lenier. On every recent
occasion. he says. when there was
a heavy earthquake shock in any
part of the world. the shock was
accompanied by an unusual
amount of static. It is proposed
that records be kept hereafter or
heavy static bat-ages so that they
may be compared with the records
of earthquakes on the scientists’

We have heard a great deal in
recent years about the vast stores
of useful power supposed to be
resident inside the atoms of mat-
ter. “As soon,” said the scien.
tists, “as we learn how to get this
power out men will not have to
work any more. " I have said
things like that myself.

But it seems we were all wrong.
Now comes Sir Ernest Rutherford.
probably the world’s greatest au-
thority on the atom. and says that
there probably is no recoverable
power at. all inside most of the
kinds of atoms. Only the atoms
of radium and other radioactive
elements are likely. he says, to
contain any Quantity of power.

So there goes our dream of get-
ting some variety of trained atoms
to run our radio sets instead of
batteries.

In this same instrument—it

Ernest has some interesting ideas
about what was true on earth a
few millions of years ago. There
used to be, he suggests, a vast
number of atoms like radium;

In the course of time all these

atoms have given up all their»

and itsrradioactive follows are so
,scarce . because .they, too, are
mostly gone. What radium we
have is the pitiful surviving rem-
nant of a once plentiful and pow-

" The earth must have been an
active place to? live in in those
days. With most of atoms of its

THE RADIO Pm

One Daily Fact. for Listeners

The Prevention of Static is
something that has never been ac-
complished with any real success,
although many of the very best
radio engineers in the world have
worked on the problem.

Since static is due, in large part
at least, to electric discharges in
the atmosphere. we cannot hope to
stop it at its source. No one
dreams of controlling or prevent-
ing a lightning flash that may have
a potential of ten or twelve mil-
lion volts. Our only resource,
then, is to try to make a radio re-
ceiver that will not pick up any of
the static.

This, too. has proved to be prac-
tically impossible. The chief way
that we have for keeping out all
the electric impulses that we do
not want in a radio set is to tune
the set very accurately to the
wavelength of the impulses that
we do want. Then other wave-
lengths Will not get in.

But this does no good for the
static problem. The radio waves
sentgout by a lightning flash con-
tain all wavelengths. You may
keep some or them out, but there
will be one that is just the same
as the wavelength that you are
trying to receive. That one will
get in and bother you, no matter
what you do.

You can save some of the bother
with static by using a. short an-
tenna or a. loop.

 

less signal strength. This may be
worth doing in the summer when
the static is especially bad. but no
one calls it a real solution of the
static problem.
