Guy Burlingame who command the flying squad of Washington police that has been very successful in raids on stills, together with some of the apparatus they, have seized. The largest still shown had a capacity' of 7o0 gallons. G Now Peter Gnome heard of people going to county fairs and on vacations and holidays and of this and that and the other thing'. So he thought lie would do a bit In g of sight-see for himself! lie told them all about it when he got home at night. Of course m he put on his in- visible robe and went where there were children. I saw Lucy swimming under water, he said. She was swimming wonderfulat home ly, and seemed to undertlie water as on top of it. "Then I saw Muriel get a wishbone and when she pulled it with some one she got the top of the wishbone and came true. She wished for a special book she very much wanted as a present and that evening her daddy brought Tf home to her. Then I saw Mrs. Cucumber Green, who is the mother of Allie Baa. Allies clothes had just been washed and her stockings and jacket and cap and scarf and all were hanging up on the line. They looked so cunning hanging up on the line. Allie was In bed waiting for her clothes. Allie, you know, Is ayrag doll and Mrs. Cucumber Green Is the make-believplay name, of her mother. I saw Mnhalla who had just been to visit her cousins and had seen a bulldog, named Nellie. Nellie was white and pretty old and clumsy, but still Nellie was so affectionate she wanted to get In M'ahalias lap. She pushed Mahalia into a chair so she would hold her and then she snored so loudly that you could have heard her in another room. But Nellie was a wise, smart dog and a good watchdog, too. She knew the steps of every member- of the family and she knew strange steps, too. Then I heard two boys talking and how they did get the wrong words in tltte wrong places. But it seemed as though the words were having a game among themselves and were having a holiday and a change of scene and air by getting Into another than their right places. Then I heard the old clock strike that gets so weary when It isnt wound lip regularly. It loses, just as regularly as clock work, as the saying Is, five minutes a day, and it Is quite regular and exact' about this!.... . Then I saw a little girl named Teny and she had a little dog named Tiny. I saw a Teddy Bear sitting up in a chair beside a little girl and watching the little girl eating peas and potatoes and a chop. The bears a.cnis were stretched out as though to say that he loved the whole world and would clasp It In his little eager arms. There were two older Teddy Bears or at least they were bigger and they all had black eyes and they all seemed to look so pleased that It seemed as though they were smiling. Then I saw all the clocks being put in Meliys room before she went to bed, for clocks and their ticking keep the members of her family awake, but Melly says they put her to sleep. So all the clocks are put in Mellys room before she goes to bed. is a There r e g u lar proces-- . slon of. clocks at Mellys bedtime!

Most of them admit they sit up with their sets late into the r.iuht. Many othprs say that while they like to be neighborly they tire of the entire community dropping in every winter evening and then forgetting to go home." A plrni for the college to dramatize informational programs, Injecting Into them greater Interest and more humor; was made. Competition Is Keen. I know of no field Into which educational agencies have entered that offers Jteener competition than that of radio. The day has passed when the mediocre speaker can hold a radio audience. The lecture of long difficult vords and sentences must give way to the more friendly, natural dialogue presented by effective radio voices. Until educational institutions value the effectiveness of radio Instruction highly enough to adequately finance a competent staff, trained In the technique of broadcasting, they cannot expect successfully to utilize this new Invention, probably the greatest boon to education since the printing press was invented." The United States Department of Agricultures new policy of providing a staff of feature writers to weave timely Information Into dialogue material to be' broadcast by trained announcers was commended to the lege editors. by the I'nlted States Department of Agriculture.) (Prepared i Radio on the farip is yielding mure dollars and cents return on the investment, developing a more prosperous American agriculture and bringing about a better contented, understanding class of farmers than any othyr single scientific contribution of the age, Sam Pickard, chief of radio, United States Department of Agriculture, told the convention of agricultural college editors recently at East I.ansing, Mich. After visiting the principal radio stations and approximately 600 farmers on a farm radio survey tour through 20 agricultural states. Mr. IMckard stated that both college and commercial broadcasters are making an intelligent effort to anticipate the farmers problems! with interesting, helpful programs, and 'are winning large and faithful audiences of the most enterprising class of farmers. Practical Application. Concrete examples of how practical gained application of information through radio is helping the farmers bank balance were cited. In districts 60 miles from a railroad lie discovered farmers who had changed their farming to more profitable lines suggested by authoritative radio talks.

Why Straight-Lin- . e Frequency I U Wrong In the course of an article in the Radio Broadcast Magazine, Zeh Bouck, radio writer, points out frethat the expression straight-linquency Is incorrect. The right term Is straight frequency line, he says, for frequencies are not characterized by lines.
