WILL SOON SOLVE
RADIO MYSTERIES.
Greenleaf W. Pickard, noted radio
engineer, believes that it only will be
a question of time before scientists
will penetrate the mysteries surround-
ing radio reception. According to his
statements, scientists are almost con-
vinced that there is slight connection
between weather and radio reception.
Pickard also thinks it would be pos-
sible to counteract such bugaboos as
fading and static in the near future.
“One of the outstanding problems
today is the nature and the cause of
those atmospheric changes which pro-
duce such diversified effects as weath-
er, magnetic storms and disturbances
of radio reception,” says Doctor Pick-
ard. “The problem is meteorological;
if this earth had no atmosphere there
could be no weather; on an airless
planet there could be no’long distance
communication at broadcasting and
higher frequencies, and I think mag-
neticians will agree that the phenom-
ena of terrestrial magnetism would
be altered if atmosphere were re-
moved.
SUN EFFECTS ATMOSPHERE.
“The only known important force
which acts upon the atmosphere,” he
continued, “is the complex radiaticn
and emission from the variable star
which we call the sun. Changes in
this force are caused in two ways;
first by the movement of the earth
with respect to the sun, and second by
actual variations in solar relation. If
the sun maintained a constant radia-
tion ‘we should have only to consider
the earth’s rotation on its axis, which
gives us night and day, and its move-
ments in an orbit around the sun,
which by the changing angle of the
solar rays gives us the seasons. Ii
these movements were the only fac-
tors involved, weather, terrestrial
magnetism and radio reception would
follow the calendar to a far greater
extent than our measuring instruments
indicate.
“But in the scheme of things as they
are we find that weather does not go
according to the calendar, nor does ra-
dio’ reception. The visual evidence of
sun spots, faculae and prominences
tells us that the sun is periodically
disturbed, and measurements of the
light and heat received by the earth
have shown that this varies in general
correspondence with the visible
changes on the sun’s disk. Through
the work of Abbott and Clayton def-
inite relations have been established
between solar changes and weather,
which already have been applied to
weather forecasting.
“Less definite today is our knowl-
edge of the short wave and corpuscu-
lar radiation from the sun which
causes ionization and electrical cur-
rents in the atmosphere, and even
chemical changes. Our only direct in-
dices of these radiations are such
things as terrestrial magnetism, at-
mospheric electricity and radio recep-
tion, although over long periods they
are highly related to sun spots and
other visible changes of the sun’s sur-
face. And as radio research has not
vet become a pure science we do not
have such systematic records to study
as those gathered through years of
astronomical and magnetic observa-
tories.
: RECEIVING CONDITIONS.
“It is perhaps unlikely that any high
eorrelation between reception and
weather elements will be found. Solar,
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
“Down in the darksome fen the root lay
dead,
In its oozy bed lay dark and dead, and
then:
Up from the island of spice and palm
The south wind came strolling one day:
Her robe was of roses, her breath was
of balm;
She crooned on the margin a springtime
psalm;
She crooned, then went away.
“In its dismal grave the rootlet brave
Stirred ’'neath its noxious heap;
The sun and the wind and the grass drew
near,
They whisper each other,
For, lo! on the mere a lily is lying asleep.”
—Rhododendrons are being used ex-
tensively as Easter gifts. The beau-
ty of the flowers alone would recom-
mend them, but in addition they can
be planted out of doors in many places
soon after Easter Sunday and be-
come part of the shrubbery. No
plants are more gorgeous or effective.
Even when not in flower the evergreen
plant is attractive. The flowers in-
crease in size and beauty each year.
Madam Felix and Pink Pearls are two
exquisite varieties. Others are Abra-
ham Lincoln, Delicatisima, Roseum,
Elegans and Caractus.
The fuchsias grown in standard
shapes ars attractive and make stylish
Easter gifts. Fuchsias, or lady’s ear-
drops, are well known plants of easy
culture for the home or shady situa-
tion in the garden.
Azaleas have become nearly as syn-
onymous with Easter as the lilies for
gifts. The hardy varieties are being
used more and more at Easter time,
as they can be planted out and form
a high note of color in the garden
after serving their Easter mission.

{ very bright, fiery red single flowers,

| dercrusen and Professor Walters are

among the best and most popular
plants sold at this season.
INTRODUCING PEOPLE.
—The man should be presented to
the woman—never the woman to the
man, except in the case of a bishop
or some very distinguished member of
the clergy. All women, too, both old
and young, are presented to the Presi-
dent of the United States. The low
of courtesy demands that a woman
shall say whether or not she wishes
to make a man’s aquaintance. It is
the man’s privilege to seek the ac-
quaintance of a woman, and her pre-
rogative to consent or not as she
pleases.
The form of introduction is:
“Mrs. Dalton, may I present Mr.
Ball 2”
If Mrs. Dalton is the hostess, and
Mr. Ball has been brought to her
house by a mutual friend, she offers
her hand to him or not as she pleases.
Mrs. Dalton, when Mr. Ball is pre-
sented, will smile and if he stands be-
side her for a moment where she is
talking. awith -others, include him in
the conversation. If she is seated at
the tea table, she will rise, but she
will smile cordially and ask him, per-
haps how he takes his tea.
TEA MANNERS,

Arrive any time between the first
hour and twenty minutes before the
last hour named on invitation. Door
will be opened by servant or meni-
ber of the family. Have ready one

FARM NOTES.
—Every summer has its dry spell—
that’s when the dairy cow needs su-
dan grass pasture to fall back on. The
wise farmer will have it.
— Sweet corn can be protected from
the corn-ear worm by keeping the
silks dusted with three parts of pow-
dered arsenate of lead and one part
flour of sulphur.
— Clover, Alfalfa, and all other
legume hay crop help cheapen the cost
of feeding dairy cows and of produc-
ing milk. Where soils are suited to
their growing, one or more legumes
always should be included in the crop
rotations of dairy farms.
— This is the proper time to prune
climbing roses, say Pennsylvania State
College landscape architects. Re-
move all old, hard shoots and pre-
serve the younger ones which are more
vigorous and which are the ones that
produce the most flowers.
—Wounds on apple and pear trees
when two inches across or less will,
if properly made, heal satisfactorily
without any treatment. For larger
wounds cover with grafting wax or
white lead and raw linseed oil, darken-
ing it with lampblack if the white is
objectionable.
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
| premises, and before re-establishing a
| flock move the quarters to a new lo-
| cation if possible.
Watch
Elimination!
Good Health Depends Upon Good
Elimination.
ETENTION of bodily waste in
the blood is called a “toxic con-
dition.” This often gives rise to a
dull, languid feeling and, sometimes;
toxic backaches and headaches. That
the kidneys are not functioning prop-
erly is often shown by burning or
scanty passage of secretions. Thou-
sands have learned to assist their
kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water and the occasional use of a
stimulant diuretic. 50,000 users give
Doan’s signed endorsement. Ask
your neighbor!

—Long-tailed lambs brand the
sheep-man as careless in his methods |
of handling his flocks. Our good :
shepherds dock the young generation |
of wool and mutton producers early in
life so they will not have to carry
around 2 useless and unnecessary
piece of anatomy. They also castrate
the ram lambs in the mutton flock.
— Members of co-operative live-
stock shipping associations when mar-
keting hogs can profit by observing all
of the “hot-weather hints” listed by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as necessary for best results.
The list includes the following sug-
gestions:
1. Haul or drive your hogs into |
shipping station in ample time to al-
low them to become rested and cool
before loading.
2. Insist upon bedded
with sand.
3. Wet down the bedding and interi-
or of the car before loading.
4. Give only a light feeding before
shipping. Heavy feed means more
body heat generated.
5. Load not more than one hour be-
fore the train is to depart.
6. Load slowly and carefully. Aveid
excitement, and do not beat or bruise
the animals.
7. Load not to exceed 16,000 pounds
in a standard 36-foot car during warm
weather.
8. Have the cars drenched at every
available point immediately after the
train stops.
9. Use ice bags suspended from the
car roof whenever possible, Six bags
to a car will suffice.

vegetable growing States, accordin 1
to the State Department of Agricul-
ture.
Home grown vegetables are produced
in every ‘ county of the State, both in
private gardens and on general farms.
Vegetables are grown in green-
houses in more than 30 counties. The
extent of this vegetable forcing in-
dustry is best appreciated by the fact
that Pennsylvania ranks third among
all the States in the receipts from the
sale of greenhouse products.
Truck gardening is common near all

disturbances and magnetic storms are {and gloves in hall or dressing-room.|ready market because of their fresh-
world-wide events, whereas weather
is rather a local matter. Analyses
of weather elements over tne whole
surface of the earth indicate that there
gre areas of positive correlation with
sun spots, and also areas of negative
correlation. Although I have not yet
collected and analyzed reception from
any such collection of receiving points
as would fairly represent the earth as
a whole, I have found a bad night |
for reception in Newton Center is in
general a bad night anywhere in the
United States. And I have also found
that European reception of distant
Broadeasting reception agrees well
with my own measurements.
“There is some basis for the as-
sumption that reception is principally
affected by corpuscular radiation from
the sun, perhaps in the form of alpha
particles. Maunder has found that
magnetic disturbances seem to arise
fram restricted solar areas, not neces-
sarily including sun spots and to go
out in definite directions, or rather
shafts of several degrees diameter,
which rotate with the sun. When such
a shaft strikes the earth a magnetic
storm avises. Such lines of influence
are not, Maunder thinks, necessarily
radial, but may flow in coronal stream
‘lines. I find that in general, recep-
tion is most affected when a spot or a
group- of spots is near the center of
thé solar disk—that is, when they are
most: nearly facing the earth, although
there are exceptions.
“Rut the secrets of this universe
vield rather to observation than pure
speculation,” concluded Doctor Pick-
ard. “When we have sufficiency of
this right kind of data we can frame
explanations.”
—Warld: Oil: Production. The whole
world! produees 3,000,000 barrels oil a
day, and the United States’ share is
2,000,000 barrefs:
Standard Oil Company of Californ-
ia, alone exported more than 120,000,-
000 barrels in 1926. In 1916, Los
Angeles exported 770,000 barrels, and
in 1926, 42,000,000 barrels, by the
Standard Oil Company alone.
The magnitude of this industry is
indicated by the El Segundo plant,
which has thousands of employes and
scores of tanks for holding crude oil,
many as large-as 3,000,000 barrels, the
top of each covering nearly 20 acres.
The refining industry produces lu-
bricating and fuel oil, and a list of by-
products- reaching into hundreds of
articles of commerce.

to dining-room where waiters will of-
fer napkins, plates and whatever is
served. If tea is poured by friends of
hostess, guests help themselves to
napkins, plates and refreshments, ask
for chocolate or tea, and usually stand
while eating. Or men escort ladies
to dining-room and serve them with
refreshments. :
Introductions are not necessary at
formal teas. Guests may address each
other. Hostess performs initial in-
troductions at informal tea and guests
introduce each other.

When there is no dancing, a guest
may leave in twenty minutes. When
there is dancing, guests may remain
throughout the hours named in invi-

A guest may. leave a formal tea
without saying good-by to her hostess.
At an informal tea she bids her hos-

For Women:—Long-sleeved after-
noon dress or ensemble costume with
hat. Light-colored gloves and match-
ing silk stockings with suede, kid,
satin or patent leather pumps. A fur
neckpiece is always in good taste.
For Men:—At a formal tea, black
cutaway coat, waistcoat to match;
dark gray striped trousers; whily
shirt; black and white, or gray four-
in-hand tie; black calfskin or patent
leather shees, with or without gray
spats; gray or black silk hose; black

In view of the interest in and im-
portance of the vegetable production
in Pennsylvana, the State Department
of Agriculture has published two bul-
letins which contain the latest infor-
mation on producing vegetables either
on a small or large scale. Bulletin
No. 396 entitled. “The Pennsylvania
Vegetables Forcing Industry,” de-
scribes the production of vegetables in
the greenhouse and under cold frames
while Bulletin No. 408, entitled, “The
Vegetable in Pennsylvania” discusses
the growing of vegetables in gardens
and on truck farms. These bulletins
can he secured free by addressing a
request to the Department of Agri-
culture at Harrisburg.
—Recently pathologists of ¢
United States Department of Agricul-
ture examined the glands taken from
319 tuberculous hogs which had orig-
inated in modified accredited areas—
areas in which bovine tuberculosis had
been practically eradicated. The or-
gansim was not found in all glands,
but of the 136 in which tubercle bacilli
were found, 60 were infected with the
bovine type, 45 with the avian type,
and 31 with both types.
Such facts as these demonstrate
that the avian type is causing many
retentions of hogs from modified ac-
credited areas, says Dr. J. A. Kiernan,
of the bureau of animal industry, in
charge of tuberculosis eradications.
This fact should stimulate a greater
activity against the disease in poultry
flocks, he says. Avian tuberculosis
exists only to a limited degree in the
eastern and southern states, but it is
causing great losses in the middle
western or corn belt states. In fact,
in many counties greater financial
losses occur from avian than bovine
tuberculosis, and there is every reason
to believe that it is spreading rapidly.
The field force, in its regular work
with cattle during the past 15 months,
has inspected 202,538 poultry flocks,
of which 12,301 flocks, or 6.1 per cent,
were found to be infected with tuber-
culosis. More than 16,450,000 fowls
were included in the flocks inspeet-
ed. This survey included work in
those states known to have only a
light infection as well as those known
to be extensively infected.
The best method of combating avian
tuberculosis may or may not have been
worked out, says Doctor Kiernan, but
that fact should not prevent proceed-
ing with the present method until a
better one has been devised. Where
infected flocks are found the owner is
urged to dispose of the entire flock,
