HI RADIO OUTFIT WILL TAKE MESSAGES
AT RATE OF Oi!E THOUSflFJD WORDS IV1IK11TE
It is not so very long ago since Jim 1
the village telegraph operator learned
.to take twenty words a minute." This
stamped Jim as an expert in his dav
and soon he was in the Hoyt's Corner
station of the valley railroad at a sal
ary of $55 a month. That was Jim's
future. Ftohi the village operator he
went to the big station and from there
to the trainmaster's office. Many of
our noted railroad presidents rose from
Jim's humble station and many of us
have at one time or another toyed with
the keys -and wondered what kind of
ears Jim had to make sense out of the
strange clicks which came in over the
wire.
Then came the dawn of a wireless
age only a few years back. Remem
ber the sensation when somebody an
nounced that wires were not needed
US record the dots, dashes and sent
ences? Then on came Marconi and
Cary and a number of others and soon
w had transatlantic communication
by wireless. History repeated itself
for the Jims of another generation be
gan all over to do what Jim did as a
boy. They bought toy radio outfits
and rigged up wireless apparatus on
roofs and quickly we' were again a na-
: tfon of operators. The war interrupt
ed all thi3 amateurish delight and all
kinds turned in to use wireless as a
practical means of communication. It
was greatly improved and much was
learned from fields of foreign develop
ment. Now comes the super achievement!
Wireless wave words "at the rate of
1000 per minute. Try to talk a thous
and words a minute; see if you come
nearer to fifty than you to one hun
dred. No human being can receive
messages at the rate of a thousand
words per minute. They had added
some five, ten or fifteen to Jim's rec
ord of 25 but that is the limit of hu
man capacity.
In a great plain on Long island, near
New Tork, they are going to build a
plant on a plot ten miles square.
When completed the work will cost ten
million dollars. It will be possible to
si'gnal around the world from this
plant. It will be five times as power
ful as the famous station at Nauen or
the French station at Bordeaux. The
General Electric company of Schenec
tady which designed much of the ap
paratus is also credited with the re
ceiving instrument which makes pos
sible the record of 1000 words a min
ute.
The Instrument Is partly a photo
graphic apparatus. A light weight mir
ror flutters in electro-magnetic tune
with the minute electric impulses com
ing from the big steel towers out in
the field. The oscillations vary Just
as Jim used to vary his dots and
dashes. The mirror then reflects a
beam of light on a moving sensitized
tape. The tape goes through a de
veloping fluid and then just as on a
stock broker's tape you read off the
message. , There is a word in dot and
dashes on every inch of the tape. The
you farmers

you farmers who rent
should know about
and buy a farm of your
own on easy terms.
Cleared and uncleared lands at $150 to $250 per
acre. Land that adjoins improved ranches now in
bumper crops of cotton, wheat, melons, etc.
The water supply has already been proven to be
adequate to meet all and any requirements necessary
for farming.
All pumps electrically driven.
Cheap labor, available at all times, and a wonder
ful market together with the best of soil and plenty
of water opens the way to independence for you.

day when atmospheric conditions are
best suited for wireless. Ihis is Be

ELECTRICITY WILL

The law of cooking all egg mixtures
is slow cooking at a moderate tem
perature. If we try to hurry the pro
cess the result will be a loss in quan
tity, a loss in digestibility and a loss
in attractive appearance.
When the white of egg is heated to
134 degrees, fine threads appear in it;
it becomes semi-soh'd and is easily
digested. If heated to 160 degrees, it is
a tender white jelly, easily digested. If
heated to boiling point, 212 degrees, it
becomes a tough jelly and is less eas
ily digested. If fried to 300 degrees, it
becomes hard, horny and very indi
gestible. Every one knows how scrambled
eggs are usually prepared. A lump of
butter is dropped into a pan and wh
it is sizzling hot, two eggs slightly
beaten up with a little liquid are
turned into the pan; they are then
stirred round and round very rapidly
and dished up. Is it any wonder that
the eggs have a raw, underdone taste?
They should be cooked slowly at a
moderate temperature ;with an electric
grill the temperature can be regulated
as there are three degrees of heat pos
sible, and the grill should be put on
low heat. Do not stir the eggs round
and round but move the spoon or fork
back and forth in parallel lines.
Scrambled eggs are easily prepared
in the shallow pan of electric grill; for
each egg allow one tablespoon of liquid
which may be water, milk, cream or
soup stock. When creamy, turn on to
hot buttered toast and serve.

"LIT UP" BK JUICE
For years tenis has been one of the
most popular out-of-door sports in
California. The natural attractions of
the game itself and a climate that per
mits its enjoyment on an average of
350 days a year has been the cause of
this popularity. Of late, ways and
means have been sought to increase
the capacity of the now over-crowded
courts.
Some five years a&o, George Billings
of Mill Valley installed the first over
head electric lighting of tennis court
in California at the famous Mill Val
ley shell court. This installation was
a decided success and enabled many a
tired business man to enjoy his favor
ite sport during the cool evenings.
.Other courts in California have been
similarly lighted with success, but the
real tryout has come with the stand
ard overhead installation on two of the
public courts in Golden Gate Park, San
Krancisco. It is the intention to give
this installation a thorough tryout and
if night tennis playing becomes popu
lar with the public the other eighteen
asphalt courts in the Golden Gate Park
group will be similarly lighted.

While her mate was hdrstfn-; the
mastodon oi stalking some piehistorio
wild beast to its lair, the prehistoric
woman with a bundle of twigs caie-Icpf-iy
brushed the piled up debris1 from
the cave-home leaving plenty of dirt
behrnd. That was prehistoric clean
ing. J-ator generations t"ok greit?.- care
with the home cleaning' until in grand
mother's day carpets were swept and
rugs shaken and beaten in an honest
effort to clean house. Such house
cleaning days were a vast improve
ment over the bunch of tsv::gs in the
hands of the cave woman, b it in spite
of the toil of later days, grandmother's
house was never really as clean as she
imagined it was. All the sweeping
merely gather up surface dive, while
bating stirred up the dust and dis
seminated it into the surrounding at
mosphere. Sweeping done the old way
was the hardest kind of work. Dust
ing was doing the work twice.
Consider cleaning the new way with
the modern electric cleaner. You can
push it around with one hand and still
not be tired. It is simple to operate,
merely connecting a cord to any con
venient outlet and turning on electric
current. Klectric cleaners are such up-to-date,
efficient cleaners that clean
ing day has been reduced to clean."ng
hour, almost. N
The electric cleaner is the funda
mental household help in the modern
household. It is the housewife's first
lieutenant to the war on dirt. A truly
industrious cleaner is not satisfied with
merely cleaning carpets and rugs. It
comes with special attachments for
cleaning upholstery, portieres, mat
tresses, moui.Mngs. It will aerate pil
lows and bedding. It will do high dust
ing, so it is no longer necessary to
mount a step ladder to dust mouldings
and little ledges on which the dust
gathers thickly. Digging out corners
is now . done by pressing an electric
button -while applying a long-handed
suction tool to the offending- spott so
that -one no longer stoops to conquer
dirt. Cleaning with a powerful air suc
tion gets all that deeply imbedded dirt
that brooms and brushes would not
budge and away it goes into the bag.
Such ease and speed in cleaning make
for cleaner, better homes everywhere.
