In 1899 he married Baroness de Rosen. He achieved world-wide fame as a pianist and composer. During the World War he devoted himself to his country’s service, and became premier (PREE-mi-er) of Poland in 1919. His political career ended in February, 1921. Thence- forth, he dedicated his life to his music. In the first syllable of Paderewski use the broad “a” (ah). The third or r-e-w syllable should not be pro- nounced “roo”; it rhymes with chef, clef, for when the Polish “w” ends a syllable, it is pronounced “f.” Correct pronunciation: Ignaz, IG- nahts; Jan, yahn; Paderewski, PAH-deh-REF-skee.

UNCLE RAY’S CORNER A question about radio has come from a reader, who writes: “Sir James Jeans says radio waves travel twice around the world in about half a second. When they reach a certain height, they come back to earth, after rebounding from lonized gas high above the earth. “I gather from some data that radio waves do not ‘move through things that are in their way' but get around the curve of the earth as Jeans says. Maybe he’s right, Just as maybe you are right.” In reply, I wish to say, “maybe we are both right!” Radio waves do have the power to “move through things that are in their way,” as| I said in my article. That is proved | every day in the year. Radio waves g0 through the walls of houses and other buildings, and come out of the loudspeakers in our radios. Some one might say: “But the radio waves strike aerials, which are OUTSIDE the houses!” That is true in many cases, but in other cases the aerials are inside the homes. Small radio sets with built- in . aerials are growing common, (© 1840, by Fostaine Fox) and to reach them the radio waves must come through the walls of our homes. Radio waves differ in that way from light waves. A light wave is stopped by a piece of wood, or a block of stone, but electric radio waves can cut through them. Some radio waves (but not all of them) play a game of “hop, skip and jump.” They go upward, then bounce down again. A message from a short-wave radio station may not be heard at a distance of 100 miles. A person 100 miles away might suppose the message was too weak to reach him, but that probably would not be the case. Another person, at a distance of 1,000 or 2,000 miles, perhaps would hear every word! That sort of thing scientists until they found & way to explain it. Layers of ionized gas are believed to exist at heights of 60 to 160 miles. When rising radio waves strike this gas, some may get through it, but it seems that most of them are made to bounce back to earth. Rising short waves go forward Little Saturday Talk as well as upward. We are told that after they come down, they bounce upward and forward agsin. Cases are on record where short waves have traveled around the globe two or three times! Long radio waves also seem to do some bouncing, but they go more nearly straight up. This means they do not make big jumps. Radio waves which rise to great heights are classed as “sky waves.” There are other waves which travel close to the ground, and they pass through houses and buildings with little, if any trouble. These are called “ground waves.” Umete Rasy If you wish to join the 1940 Uncle Ray Scrapbook Club, send me s three-cent stamped enve- lope, carefully addressed to your- self.
