Some of those are still worn, but
the pendulum is steadily swinging
over to the rods with a purplish
cast.
For many years lavender was
regarded as particularly suitable
for the white-haired woman. To-
gether with gray and white it was
looked on as the only really suit-
able color for an old-time grand-
mother to wear. For somelreason
or other it came to be regarded as
fit tor half-mourning. These things
doubtless did much to rob lav-

cndcr of its appeal to younger
women. Mothers rather hesitated
letting their young daughters have
frocks of the color. "it seemed
3 old. "
Now this prjudice sews to have
been overcome. At any evening
assemblage of well- dressed women
nowadays you will see an inter-
esting sprinkling of those dressed
in the lavender type of colors.
Count noses and you will see that
they are for the most part young
or middle-aged. The older woman
chooses a color with a .bit more
vigor.
The grandmother of today con-
sulting her dressmaker regarding
a new evening frock says: “I really
am a little too old to wear lav-

tats to wear emerald green or
flame color.

ion among radio engineers that
the amount of static last sum-
mer has been far below must usually
experienced. Men who have been in
radio work fifteen years or more tell
me that they‘ remember no summer
in which the other over North
America was so clear of disturbance
as it was during 192i. '
This curious flct is variously ex-
plained. The Gulf Stream always
comes in handy to explain any
weather mystery and the lack of
static has been blamed on it—to-
gather Willi the cool summer. the
ice of! Greenland and "nobody knows
how many other misfortunes.
THERE is a consensus of opin-
The plain truth about it is prob-
ably that the receiving sets that we
have now are much better than
they ever were before. Accordingly.
static bothers us much less than it
used to.
It is barely possible, however. that
there really was less static and that
this had to do with what seemed to
have been'a comparative dearth of
thunderstorms last year. In certain
areas at least throughout the whole
country there seem to have been
fewer electrical stoma than usual.
This. in turn. may have been due
to the fact that the water of the
North At tic Ocean was found by
the ice pa l boats to be a few de-
grees warmer than usual. Also, the
scientists found that the heat of the
sun's rays was below normal last
year by some two per cent. The
cause was unknown. but there was
‘no reason for alarm. It is probable
that the heat sent us by the sun is
subject to these‘ minor variations
from time to time. It is only re-
cently thslt the scientists have kept
records accurate enough to detect
such small changes.
It is not surprising. however, that
things like this—the amount of solar
heat or the temperature of the,occan
-—will have thglr effects on radio.
In his recent book, “The Depths of
the Universe." Dr. George E. Hale
describes the remarkable discovery
made by him and his Associates at
Mount Wilson Observatory that the
sunspots are really great magnets.
From each spot there goes out into
space an intense mdgnetic field.
Anything that happens in the sun
or to the light and heat that it sends
cusispretty sure to affect theelec-
trical conditions on earth in some
manner. ‘
Dr. Bureau. of the French meteor.
'ological ofilce. has urged' that one
of the best ways to study these little
known things about the weather
will be through the radio sheets
that they produce. especially static.
Perhaps the day will come when the
scientists will lament the fact that
there is little static because that
will deprive them of the information
that static :will then be bringing
them.
But that time has not come yet.
This year I hear no'lietener raising
his voice to complain because a
static has been less severe than
usual.
F————‘
THE RADIO PRIMER
One Oily Fast for Listeners
The Ohm is the unit of electrical
resistance. It is dell ed by the
scientists as the reels co offered
mean a great deal to the person who
is not a scientific specialist. Let us
see Just what resistance and Ohms
mean in plain everyday language.
Think of water flowing through a
pipe. There is some friction about
it. If the pipe is small or if some
iron rust or something has accumu-
lated inside it the water owe slowly.
No doubt you have h the experi-
ence at home of the water pipes
getting filled up inside with a lot
of rust so that water flowed out of
them in a more trickle instead of a-
good-sized stream.
This friction inside the pipe might
.bs thought of as a resistance to the
flow of water through the pipe.
Just so there is an electrical resis-
tance to the flow of electricity in
wires. You might have a unit of
resistance in pipes: say. the resis-
tance offered by a pipe of a certain
size. a. certain diameter. a certain
length. etc.
That is what the ohm is. It is a
unit resistance, selected by the en-
gineers so. that they would have
some way of specifying just how
much rssis ce is elicited by wires
or other can uctors to the now of
the current»

SHALL I CALL OUR LAN-

RITING aliettsr to the New
w York Herald. Thomas W.
Moore makes a declaration in
favor of callingCour national lan-
guage “American" instead of “Eng-
lish." He says:
"To y there are as many rea-
sons w American editors, authors,
actors and publicists should declare
name independence as there were
reasons in 1776 for declaring politi-
cal independence. It- is proposed to
secure popular, literary and official
use of the word ‘Amerlcan' as the
name of our national language.
"In 1840 the Americans who spoke
our language began to outnumber
all who spoke it. or spoke ‘near
American' elsewhere. From statis-
tical equality we steadily ascended
a. scale of preponderance, until now
our language are geographically
American. and of that 71 per cent.
at least 90 per cent. are nationally
American. The American percent-
age of the whole has steadily risen."
