In practically every instance where reception is obtained at great dis. tances, the question uppermost in the mind of the fan is, “How far is that station from here ‘When a fan reaches out to distances of over 500 miles with a small set, or over 1,000 miles with a large set, it is not the quality of the music or what s being said that Interests him. The music may be very poor in quality and the speech garbled, but he strains his ear to catch the call lefter and location of the station above the neise. and static that may be com- ing in. When he does get the call and location of the station he loses all tnterest in the program and begins to figure out the distance over which he been receiving.

The mathematical shark usually measures. the distance between : the home station and the distant station, in - inches, and divides that number by the number or fractior: of an inch to every 100 miles on the map, getting his answers in 100 miles. Still others clip out the. scale of miles and make a direct measurement on the map between ihe two points and thus eliminate all calculation: Today I am showing you how to g0 a step further and eliminate all lost motion and mental effort in find~ ing the distance between your loca- tion and a distant station.

The master of ceremonies, when the real enjoyment of the evening was over and the time for speaches had come. announced, in professional style, that proceedings from now would he broadcast. The first on the program was a Baltimorean, rather @ pompous chap, manifestly an ad- mirer of his own voice. When he was in the midst of his little speech a workman strolled up to the speak- ers’ table and proceeded to remove the microphone. The toastmaster in- terrupted, and said to the electrician “What does this mean” Why are vou interfering with the broadcasting?’ The warkman replied: “Broadcasting, nothing! It ain't never been con- nected!” Tt was a put-up job. The Baltimorean admitted he had been fooled. said his folks would be dis- appointed, because they were all noti- fled to listen In, and then he sat down The man {s a manufacturer of mat- tresses.

Flanagan, D. D. S, Hy- attaville, Md., observes, though not for the first time on record, that it is “funny how great minds flow in the same channel” It isn't my tow- ering intellect that he refers to, but that of John W. H. Crim, former United States Assistant Attorney General. Crim, as quoted In this column, refuses to admit there is any such animal as radio. Dr. Flanagan writes me: When I read Mr. Crim's observa- tions, I reached into my desk and drew out the card which I am in- closing. It's no good to me now— you have stolen my thunder. It was written about a month ago. This is what's on ft: he radio is the greatest won- der of the age—the greatest in all history. It Is so eimple and vet 80 incomprehensible.

Belleve me, boy, e s good stationery or book store for about 10 cents, and locate your town on the map. Using your town or city as a center, make a serles of concentric circles—that {s, a serles of circles, one outside of the other, using the same center. The radius of the first circle should be equal to 100 miles on the You can get this distance from that comes with the The radius of the second circla should be 100 miles more, or 200 miles. The radius of the third should be 100 more miles, or 300 miles. The rest of the circles should be drawn in the same way, the radius of each succes- sive one increasing by 100 miles. If every circle were drawn with the same size line, it would be neces- sary to count the number of 100-mile intervals between your location and a distant station every time you wanted to use the chart. To eliminate this, make each fifth line darker than the rest, as shown in the illustration. It is then a simple matter to de- termine the distance between your location and any other point in the United States, because each heavy line interval represents 500 miles and each light line interval represents 100 miles. For points In hetween you can easily guess the smaller distance or you can make dotted éircles at 10 or 20 mile intervals to give you more exact locations.

BALTIMORE, April 11.—Because of the heavy losses being incurred by Baltimore in the tugmen's strike, the Association of Commerce is making efforts to settle the difficulty between the companies and members of the| Motor Pilots' Association. Lighterage companies say that while operations are slowed up, they are generally handling all necessary business. A heavy burden has been thrown on the railroads, thousands of tons of material being switched through and around the city which ordinarily ie carried directly across the harbor. The Bethlehem Steel Company and other big industries generally report raw material re- serves and believe they will be able to get more materials by rail if the strike is not settled before reserves are exhausted.

She had taken these la curities in exchange for others in a |l reorganization, and at present the bonds are not paying interest, nor is the preferred stock paying dividends I advised her to sell, on the ground that she needed income and could not afford to hold securities on which there was no return. She was & woman of small means, largely de- pendent~for her living upon income from investments. She thought per haps the advice was good, but ob- jected that if there were any « o of payments being resumed with year or two, or if, as she put it market is likely to advance would be better for her to hold on There is no adequate reply to that argument except to say that neither I nor anybody else knows anything | about the market price a vear or two henee or even six months ahead, to put it conservatively, If we did know we could all speculate and all get prices de rich without working, a highly de- being firs sirable condition, but ot likely to be achieved in this world. All I could| tell her was that ghe must do one of two things, either continue to spec late—for that is what she is doing now, although she owns the securi- ties outright—or to sell at the ma ket price and reinvest her funds some sound security \ But how foolish it untrained in business attempt to match her wits ggainst those of the traders stocks or bonds. Disaster is sure to follow. If you are going to speculate, you must do it at your own risk, with the bene- fit only of such counsel as you can get, but never with any assurance of success. Those who prefer to take this course should not go to an in- vestment man for advice.
