‘FAVORS FOR THE FOURTH

 

 

It's time to think about favors
for the Fourth.

Really. when all is said and
done. candy favors are the easiest
to choose. The shops are full of
appropriate and very attractive
candy favors. A bit of red. white
and blue ribbon or a flag converts
a cake of milk chocolate into a
highly patriotic favor. But there
are some candy favors expressly
made for the Fourth.

There are various little nose-
gays made of red. white and blue
gum drops—the blue is a difficult
shade in candy. but it is fairly well '
accomplished. There are boxes of
candles wrapped in red. white and
blue tinfoil and arranged in the
design of a flag or an eagle. There
are chocolate figures of various
appropriate sorts. All these make
appropriate tabla favors. and are
especially enunciated where there
are children.

Lyrics of Life

DOUGLAS MALLOG'I .i I

THEY‘RE WELL

I tip-teed to her room Just now:
Her hands were folded on her
breast.
The peace of sleep lay on her brow.
And her lovely limbs possessed.
And then. I thought. how greatly
blessed
We are. who have no grief to
tell.
When. looking on our loved I
rest.
Our hearts may say. "Thank
God. they're well."

For I. like you. have sighed for
fame.
Have wished a little verso or
two
Might win a little more acclaim.
That I a better verse might do»
And I have sighed for wealth. like
you.
Have sighed for wealth who had
my wealth.
Who had my wealth and never
knew,
For God my love had given health.

I might have gold and fame and
lands.
And yet how lonely I might be.
But looking on their folded hands.
I know how good God is to me.
Perhaps a path of poverty
You need to walk. I cannot tell.
But tip-toe to the doorway. See.
They're all asleep. Thank God.
they’re well.

Common Errors—— in English and How
to Avoid Them

' “HE" USED WRONGLY FOB

“ HOULD not a Christian com-

S munity receive with open

arms he who comes out into

the erd with clean hands and a
clean heart?"

In the foregoing sentence the word
"he" should be “him." It is. speak-
ing in the language of the gram-
marian, in the objective cue. the
object of the verb "receive." and so
such should be put in the objective
form of the personal pronoim “be."
which is "him." not “he." If the
clause. “who comes out into the
world." etc.. is omitted. the errorrbo-
comes apparent at once. You would
not say. "A Christian commule
should receive he."

Similar errors are the following:

"He would not believe we boys.’
instead of "He would not believe us
boys.”

“The spoils belong to be who has
gained the victory." insteed of 'to
him."

A RADIO COLUMN
a, mom sows!

 

Now. that Uncle Sam is the
owner of two mighty sirshipo.
the Shenandoah and the 23-3.
the dazzling dream of s flight
across the frossn wastes of the
North Pole has been taken out of
the pixoanhole where it was but
early in the year.

Recent reports from Washington
quote the Secretary of the Navy as
saying that the Polar flight will
be started next spring. provided
the plan receives the approval of
the President. The safe arrival of
the ZR-3 has eliminated the argu—
ment that the Navy could not af-
ford to risk its only airship in so
haurdous an undertaking.

The Navy wants to make the
flight. and its confldenee in the
success of the venture has been
strengthened by th e recent
achievements in radio communica-
tion in the Far North—notably the
success of Captain Donald A. Mac-
Millan in keeping in touch with
the outside world while his little
ship was frozen in the Arctic.
Likewise the Canadian government
steamer Arctic. in a recent VON.
to Etch, Greenland. picked up on-
“N Programs transmitted on short
waves from station KDKA in Pitts-
bursh. Pa.

Radio guided the Z'R—S safely
out of the path of storms in the

long flight across the ocean. and
it marked the way for the Shenan-
doah across the continent. It is
the one thing that makes the Polar
flight more than a fantastic dream.

 

Once again an amateur has set
up a new radio long-distance mark
to shoot at. H. Johnson. who
operated amateur station I-SF at
Short Bosch, Conn. reported to
the‘ American Radio Belay League
a few days ago that he had oom-
municsted with Ivan O'Meara ,It
Gisborne. New Zealand. 9. 000
miles away. Communication was
in both directions.

The best previous distance rec.
ord was made by W. B. Magner.
of San Pedro. Calif. who commu-
nicated with Frank D. Bell. of
Waihemo. New Zealand.. 8.000
miles distant.

wide mouth. and a good cork to
fit it. Thrust two wires through
this cork. one at each side. Fill
the bottle about two-thirds full of
the phenolphthaloin solution. so
that both wires dip into it. Add
a grain or two of common salt to
the solution.

Now if you connect the termi-
nsis of the circuit to be tested
with the two wires projecting from
the bottle. a red color will sp-
poar in the phenolphthalein solu-
tion around the wire that is con-
nodsd with the negative pole.
When you shake the bottle this
color will disappear.

If you have a potentiometer
connected across your dry A bat-
tery. don't forget to disconnect
the battery when you have finished
listening in. Otherwise there will
be a considerable drsin through
the potentiometer winding. This
is especially important if the
potentiometer is of comparatively
low Nuance.

One Daily Fact For Listeners

Spider Web Coils are cells for
inductance or for coupling. wound
in a certain manner that resembles
somewhat the shape and character
of a spider web. They do not
differ much from other kinds of
coils in most of their electric prop-
erties. but they have the advan-
tage of a flat shape that enables
two of them to be placed close to
gather. like two dinner plates.
There are also some other elec-
trical and mechanical properties
that are of more interest to the
professional radio ensineer than to
the: ema‘tteurn . b i

o m e a we col you
take first a w; cardboard or
flbor three or four inches in diam-
eter. In this you cut an odd num-
ber of radial slits. reaching from
the edge of the disk part way
toward the center. The wire is
then wound around the disk in
circles concentric with the disk it-
self. It passes through the slits:
over one segment of the disk made

i by the slits. than underneath the
next segment. than over the next
one. and so on. '

This produces. you observe. a

thin. flat coil of wire shaped more
or lose like a pancake. The elec-
tromagnot fleid produced by such
a coil extends outward from the
coil, not along its edge. but from
its center.

WINIFRED

INIFRED has the fanciful
"white

interpretation of
stream". It s o u n d s
strangely reminiscent of forest
glsdes and pagan elves. but it is
by derived from Welsh re-

gion. According to legend. a
Welsh nun named Gwenfrewi was
)ohoaded by a furious prince called
Caradoc. because she refused his
addresses. After the fashion of
most Welsh saints. she caused a
well to spring up over the place
of her‘martyrdom.

This wall does not flow continuv
ally. but it has medicinally values.
and its stones are said to be red-
veined with tho blood of the
saintly nun. She was called by
the English St. Winifred. and as
Winifred. or Wenefred. was ac-
cepted by Wales in place of the
somewhat unpronouncabie Gwen-
grewi. Indeed. her popularity in
Wales was so tremendous that she
become almost the national Welsh
name.

which is frequently confused with

terchangeably with it. Winifred
has never gained the vague here
that she has in England But
Winnie. the diminutiVe. is popular
in America. which loves contrac-
tions and endearmcnts. Curiously
enough. none of the European
countries have adopted the name
or placed the stamp of their in-
fluence upon it. It remains purely
a product of the British Isles.
.Freda is another contraction which
is Donulcr in this country. Whether
the German Frieda is allied with
this is an open question with
etymologists.

The beryl is Winifred's talis-
manic stone. It assures her amia-
bility and gives her inconquerable
charm. according to an old proph-
ecy. It is said that no one wear-
ing a beryl will lose in litigation.
It also awakens love in married
people. Friday is her lucky day

THE SUMMER BREAKFAST

HOT day is started pleasantly
A if the breakfast table is at-
tractive.

If you have some sort of porch
where the breakfast table can be
spread, you are fortunate, for an
outdoor breakfast is an ideal begin-
ning to a summer's day. Some not
pretentious country houses are made
with a small flagged arbor contain-
ing chairs and table where breakfast
is served. You know you can buy
goodvlooking enamel metal garden
chairs for three _or four dollars
apiece and a card table will serve as
well as anything if need be.

Of course if you use a. card table
a small linen cloth that covers it
gives the most attractive appear-
once. If you have an enameled
garden table in good condition. then
dailies look well. or indeed you may
serve the breakfast without any
table covering at all. If you can af-
ford to haxe special china for the
garden breakfast choose some of the

 

Iihcapor peasant pottery in leaf

green or soft yuellow Both in shape
and color it is appropriate for gar-
den use.

In hot weather a breakfast of
fruit crisp toast and coHee—-the cof-
fee hot to the point ofyscaldlng~
would be almost sure to tempt the
laggard appetite. Of course there
one many people who prefer a
heartier breakfast even in hot
weather, but well cooked cereal and
eggs. rather than any more elabor-
ate dishes, will make the best hearty
summer breakfast.

WH V

IS A PERSON DEVO’I‘ED T0
PLEASI'RE CALLED A
“SYBARITE”?

HE present meaning of the
T word "Sybarite" is "a luxuri—

ous person. an epicure." one
who makes a fetish of comfort
and luxury and thinks far more of
them than he does of the larger
things of life.

This term comes to us directly
from the name of the city of
Sybaria. situated inssouthern Italy.
near the west shore of the Gulf
of Taranto. Syharis was founded
by the Greeks about 730 B. C. and
became a very poweer province.
commanding four neighboring
nations and being capable of
placing an army of some 300,000
men in the field. In time. how—
ever, the Sybarites or inhabitants
of Sybaria became proud and
domineering. noted for their ef-
feminacy and self-indulgence. It
is reported that no trade which
entailed the making of a noise was
permitted to be carried on in the
city and Seneca tells the story of
a Sybarite who complained that
he had slept badly and that. upon
examining his bed in the morning.
“he had found a roseleaf doubled
under him. which had causeed him
extreme pain." Finally. Sybaris
was overthrown and never re-
gained its former glory. though
its name persists to this day
through the medium of the word

 

 

5—“Man. proud man. plays such
fantastic tricks before high
Heaven. as make the angels
weep."

6—“A little philosophy inclineth a
man's mind to atheism. but .
depth in philosophy bringeth
men’ s minds about to religion. "

commonwealth."

And turn delight into a sacri-
flee."
