Smallest Visible Things.
Few persons would gue*.s that the
smallest things visible to the eye are
the stars. Yet Divers was no doubt
correct in declaring that such is the
case. Great aa many of the stars are
In actual magnitude, their distance
is so immense that their angular
diameter becomes Insensible and they
approach the condition of geometrical
points. The minute disks that they
appear to have are spurious, an effect
of irradiation.
Words to Be Avoided.
There are two simple words In our
language that have caused more mis
ery than all the plagues of history.
They have broken lifelong friendships,
set brother against brother, separated
lovers and caused children to weep.
These poisoned words have sent Inno
cent persons to the gallows and have
turned the debutante Into a deml
mondaine. Think well before you let
them pass your lips. They are “They
say."—Exchange.

75th Performance,
“Rose of Stamboul”
Having; passed its seventy-fifth per
formance and m w mi its way towards
the century mark. “Tlte liose of
Stauilioul" lias settled down at tlie
i Century theater. Manhattan, with all
I indications pointing: to its eclipsing the
popularity during; the long; runs to
its credit in Vienna and Heflin. This
gorgeous" Hering of the Messrs. Slmhert
with its spectacular settings, colorful
atmosphere, picturesque hullets, tttne
! ful music and unrestrained merriment
! is drawing; capacity audiences at
every performance. The vocal op
portunities enjoyed by Tessa Kosta
land Marion Green in the Vienese score
are proving; popular with theatergoers,
while James Karton, who completes
the trio of stars appearing; in the piece,
is being; acclaimed the peer of fun
makers on the American stage. The
big; ballet featuring; Ntira and Zita
Lockford continues to stand out as a
feature of the richly staged perform
ance.

The Quarter at Church.
An instance of momentary success in
tlie collection lias been noted when
the minister published tlie following
soliloquy in the congregational calen
dar: “I am '-.’5 cents. I’m too small
to buy a quart of oil; I'm too small
to buy oue-half pound of candy; I’m
too small to buy a ticket to a good
movie show; I'm even too small to
buy a box of undetectable rouge ; but
most people think I'm ’some money’
when I come to church.”—The Chris
tian Kegister.
What It a Picture Frame?
Picture frames are frequently too
ornate. The simpler they are tlie less
they attract attention from tlie pic
ture itself. They should become a
part of the picture and not a separate
picture in themselves. Color, how
ever, may be used to advantage and
any simple wooden frame may Ibe
painted In oil paint to match some
tone of the picture. Ordlnurily tills
is better than to have the frame
harmonize with tlie woodwork of the
room.
HELLO GIRLS MAKE HATS
In the Chelsea and Watkins Central
Office, says The Telephone Review,
they know how to make hats. In fact,
there has been an epidemic of hat mak
ing, for like other spring fevers It Is
catching. Just to watch the pretty
"hats” which enter and leave the
building every night and morning
would make any girl envious. All the
latest shapes and shades appear—the
turban, the rolled sailor, the broad
brimmed hat, the latest thing in wing
brims—the hat of taffeta, the hat of
silk, each one distinct and perhaps
handsomer than the one before (until
I the one before reappears).
In order to forestall a regular stam
pede on the Chelsea and Watkins Cen
tral Office girls to find out how they
make thfe hats, we shall give a few
hints that we gathered on a recent
visit.
A number of girls under the guid
ance of Personnel Assistant Miss I. M.
Helbig formed a small class and pro
cured an instructor, a skillful milliner
with all the tricks of the trade at her
scissor’s end. One night each week a
class meets—usually a new group of
girls every two or three weeks in or
der that as many as possible may gain
hat-knowledge as well as get that hand
made Easter bonnet. The girls arrive
with paper bags filled with crinoline
shapes, pieces of silk and taffeta, or
yards of straw, all of which disappear
during the course of the evening as
the scissors snip and t^ie needle makes
headway. Miss Helhifc often assists
the girls in the purchase of materials,
and advises in regard to shape, amount
of material, color, etc.
For turbans, Just a head band, a
little stiffening in the brim and one
wiring make the foundation. The ma
terial should be used on the bias.
When making rolled sailors and
hats with stiff brims, it is easier to
work with the orown and britn sep
arately. The frame may be eut so
that tlie material may be sewed to the
crown and the brim before it put to
gether. The material Is also used on
the bias, pulled tight or folded as re
quired. The frame may be cut so that
the material may be sewed to the
crown and the brim before it is put
togelher. The material is also used
on the bias, pulled tight or folded as
required. In order to get the right
lines the material Is always pinned on
securely before a stitch is taken. A
soft crown may be substituted for the
stiff crown, and Is made by sewing a
piece of bias material, reinforced by
light flannel around an oval top.
Ornaments, quills, a bunch of flow
ers, complete the process of transform
ing a few odds and ends—pieces of
silk, etc.. Into a handsome Easter crea
tion, which would catch the eye and
arrest the attention of the most un
observant young gallant.
TELEPHONING TO SEA
Ship to Shore Telephony Demon
strated by Bell Engineers.
Ship-to-shore telephony has arrived. |
On March 5th, says The Telephone
Review. President H. B. Thayer of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company answered the ring of the
bell on his telephone in his home at
New Canaan, Conn., and out of the
! instrument came a voice saying "Hello!
This is Captain Bind.” “This is Mr.
Thayer of the Telephone Company," I
was the reply. "I am at New Canaan.
Captain, I understand you are 300 or ,
100 miles at sea." “Yes. we were 370
miles from Ambrose Bight at 7 :30. We
expect to dock tomorrow evening at
seven or eight.”
So ran the talk between the head of
the Bell System at his country home
in Connecticut and the Captain of the
“America" out in the Atlantic.
The Bell System’s radio telephone j
station at Peal Beach was the trans
mitting station for the demonstration
and the receiving station was at El
beron. The “America” of the United
States Shipping Board Fleet was
equipped with a wireless telephone set
made by the General Electric Company
and installed by the Radio Corpora
tlon.
The wire circuit used was operated
on the four-wire principle between
Walker Street and ttie radio stations
; and on the ordinary two-wire principle
1 from Walker Street to New Canaan.
A hybrid coil and balancing network
| such as are used for all telephone re
peaters established the union between
the two and the four wire circuits.
Interest in the demonstration was i
widespread even during the prelim- j
lnar.v tests which were overheard night
after night by thousands of radio ama
teurs.
Passengers on the ship clamored to
speak with their friends on shore and
their friends in turn wpre equally anx- 1
Ions to communicate witli them. The J
Deal Beach station was flooded with j
telephone calls from people who ;
sought to talk with acquaintances on
the ship. One of these requests came
from Chicago.
Both the possibilities and shortcom
ings of ship-to-shore communication
were brought out. At various inter
vals Intelligible communication with
the ship was prevented by Interference
from spark stations, and the elimina
tion of such interference Is one of
the problems still awaiting solution.
Another limitation which developed
hut one which Bell engineers already
have done much to eliminate Is the
lack of secrecy In conversation.

Popular opinion summoned delegates to the
