By James W. Egan How wonderful is the rain! Tt has stimulated the languid crops; put a damper on the menacing forest fires, and wash- ‘ed the wicked little microbes out of the orone. More than that, It has greatly de- Greased crime tn Seattle, say police Officials. If April showers bring May Mowers, then August rain makes the city good again. . And it tan’t entirely the crooks can't afford to coppmbreiaa, may ing; that human error has sea sonal aspects, Luke S.

The latter variety of crime falls off in warm weather, but murders and suicides seem to increase. And, ef course, insanity. That old joke about » person going crazy with the heat isn’t a joke at all.

EXERCISE BY DR. RK. H. BISHOP EMEMBER how weak you felt after you been laid up with that broken leg or sprained ankle? You weren't able to get any exer- cise; your mus cles became soft and flabby. Moderate exer cine ts absolutely necessary to keep you in good cond! tion, to throw off body pulsons, to sive vigor and an appetite It Is not necessary to go tn for cross-country running, or football or any other strenuous sport. Morning will keep you toned up and ready for a full day's work. When the alram clock rings, hop out of bed, stand tn front of the/man's attention and affection ts ai-| open window and. stretch the mus cles thoroly. A few simple exercises may be gone thru. Anyone can stretch his arms and legs in various ponitions without detailed inatruc tions, A few deep breaths and you are ready for whatever the day de mands. If you are within walking walk. Walking is the commonest and the cheapest form of exercise and |within the reach of everyone. The chief good of walking comes from the fact that it must be done tn the open air. Because of this tact it might well be considered the ideal exercise. | When you are walking, however, do it s0 aa to be of distinct benefit | Walk with a full stride and gwing the arma. EMPORIA, K: Vitam Allen | White resigns editor of Judge because magazine advocates return of light wines and beer. BY PAUL F. GODLEY America’s Foremost Radio Authority An antenna nine miles long! That's the size of an aerial used on reception. But it is only 15 feet high. It 1s of the type known as the “wave-wire” antenna, used in long distance reception because it comes nearer eliminating static interference than any other form known, } Like any of the long-wire type of { antennae, it receives best only from | those directions toward which it | points. By properly absorbing energy { from the wire at one end, the wire | | | | receive from one direction onby. This is accomplished by the use of a re- sistance and an earth connection, When but one wave iength long, | the wire is quite directional in its x characteristics, When two ‘ea lengths long, it is decidedly more : directional. The longer it is, the { more desirable it becomes as an an tenna designed to receive but from one fixed station.
