KANSAS Vol. X BISHOP CAREY MOVES HIS VAST AUDIENCE WITH CONSTITUTIONAL ADDRESS BEFORE THE KNIFE AND FORK BANQUET Big Affair Has Its Usual Compli- mentary Attendance. BISHOP H. B. PARKS HONORED GUEST. Dr. C. E. Brooks, Pastor, Well Pleased With His First Banquet At First Church. The Tenth Annual Knife and Fork banquet, held at First A. M. E. church, Thursday evening, March 27, had its usual high class program. The speaker of the evening was Bishop Archibald J. Carey of Chicago, taking for his subject "The Constitution." For fifty-eight minutes the speaker swayed his large intelligent audience with one of the greatest and most masterful addresses that has been heard at a similar affair in this church. The speaker showed where the Constitution of the United States in many instances utterly ignored the rights and protection of the black man. We have, under these conditions to set aside certain political preferment and support men who show a greater consciousness of human rights and liberty, said Bishop Carey. Fight all opposition, that is not in compliance with the constitution, said the speaker. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, who presides over the Fifth Episcopal district, introduced the speaker and Rev. W. T. Osborne, presiding elder of the Kansas City district, was master of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the Senior choir, Prof. Wise's choral club and the church orchestra, under the supervision of Professor Wise, organist of the Junior choir. The dining room, under the supervision of Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins was handsomely decorated in old gold and green, with hundreds of Sunflowers artistically arranged in rows around the walls and double green banners uniformly placed, with a sunflower in the center of each. Mr. Wilson Smith, headwaiter at the Savoy hotel, had charge of the dining room, having under him twenty-five waiters, wearing snowy white coats, gave high class service. This is the second banquet for Mr. Smith. The cateress, Mrs. Lulu Lyons, with her fine assistants, made everything move as though as it was a daily feed. The reception ladies in evening dresses were much admired. Mrs. Stoval-Morgan, the florist, furnished flowers for the occasion and disposed of hundreds of roses and carnations to the guests. Rev. C. E. Brooks, the pastor, was in his glory, as this was the first banquet he had experienced in First church. Messrs G. P. McNair and H. G. Dwiggins, managers, were happy and busy in seeing all were taken care of during the evening. In fact everyone seemed to be delighted with the evening's program and the excellent menu. Eight hundred and sixty-three were admitted to the auditorium and seven hundred and forty-six were served and plenty left. It was a great affair of social and intellectual feast. ENTERTAINS AT DINNER Mrs. Ida Egglestone, 610 Parallel avenue, entertained in honor of Miss Pitts and Miss Dorothy Simmons, of Fort Scott. Covers were laid for eight. Among the guests were Mrs. M. E. Jones, Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Kenneth Young, of Joplin, Mo. The honored guests will spend the weekend with Mrs. Caldwell on North Allis street. Rev. H. D. Bronson, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Temple, delivered a fine address to the Junior Allen League of the First A. M. E. church Sunday evening. The very timely address had a strong impression on the minds of the young people, as well as the older ones present. The usual large attendance was present. THE CIVIC LEAGUE MAKES GOOD In answer to the communication from the physical director of our public schools, the league at its regular meeting Tuesday evening decided to donate a cup as a prize in the track meets April 15 to 22. It was also noted with some degree of appreciation that work had been begun on the playground and pool at Third street and Edgerton avenue, and as was quite natural, the question was asked: "How fares the community house project?" It was reported that nothing had been heard from the suggestion lately made to the Mayor and Commissioners. To the effect, that they pay for the resurfacing of Washington boulevard, by charging it to the abutting owners, instead of out of the general fund—and that we pause—permanently—at doubling the capacity of tourist park out of the park fund—and use the amounts to be paid in those instances toward the project of the community house. We are still decidedly of the opinion that the suggestion is well in point. The League also decided to co-operate with the Business Men's Association, in bringing about a better economic situation. We were pleased to learn that the Universal Life Insurance Co., whose representative has been before us a number of times, are prepared to—and will in a few days, locate offices here—and that it has already started business. An open meeting and reception will be given the officers and promoters in the near future. The list for membership is still open—come while you may.

The appearance of Sir Knights and drill teams in their white uniforms and shoes to match, stepping to the military music by the First regiment band brought hundreds on to the street, although it was windy and chilly. Col. Chas. Carroll was in command. Brigadier General Thos. Kennedy of Kansas City, came up Saturday and met the local companies in the evening and gave an address and stayed over to the annual sermon. The general stopped with Col. and Mrs. Chas.

YOU COME TROOPING RIGHT IN ON MY FRESHLY SCRUBBED FLOOR— HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I ASKED YOU TO WIPE YOUR SHOES?— O' YOU MEN!!! (Copyright, W.K. U.) MONROVIA COLLEGE AND IN DUSTRIAL TRAINING SCHOOL. Monrovia, Liberia February 10, 1924. We have learned with deepest regret that President Crews, who organized our Monrovia College and Industrial Training School and directed it during its first year with efficiency and credit to our denomination, is leaving for America. As trustees of the College we wish to give this evidence of our appreciation of his services. It is a matter in which we take just and pardonable pride that in the short existence of Monrovia College, by virtue of the tireless efforts of Professor Crews, the institution has forged to the front and for organization, discipline and adherence to modern educational concept leads the colleges of the city many years older. Upon the leaving of Bishop Brooks for America, he assured us he would return, bringing a man fully competent to organize and conduct creditably an institution of learning. We had previously urged upon him to bring only such a man, one who could safeguard the interests of African Methodism from an educational standpoint. But in President Crews our fondest anticipations have been excelled. Coming from Wilberforce University, the cradle of African Methodism—and having done his graduate work at Columbia and Chicago Universities, having added to this preparation an experience covering eleven years as a teacher in such standardized schools as Allen, Western and Morris Brown Universities and St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, he came to his work with a preparedness that brought about a revolution in many phases of education in this republic. A transformation could be noted in the children after a very few months as regards deportment, attire, everyday use of English, studiousness and school spirit so much so as to distinguish Monrovia College students from others. Gentlemanly, christianly, positive and yet kindly, considerate of those of lowly station (perhaps more so than of those of exalted rank), a disciplinarian guided by the standards of school administration solely and not public caprice, working zealously daily from 5:30 a. m. to 6:00 and later in the evenings, he contributed as we are persuaded no other man would have done to the firm establishing of our denominational school. We have listened to his annual report and are impressed with the enormous extent of the accomplishments of his administration, the clarity and comprehensiveness of the report, his honest and faithful administration, the wisdom of the recommendations and in them every one we concur heartily and fully. We would that he would remain with us; we regret that circumstances require, in his judgment, that he relinquish the work for the present but as he goes he and his good wife carry our prayers and sincerest wishes ADVOCATE CITIZENS GIVEN INTEL LECTUAL TREAT AT BAPTIST CHURCH JUDGE HARRISON SPEAKS TO AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE AT METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. A fine and appreciative audience listened to a scholarly address by Judge Harrison of Chicago, Tuesday evening at Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Ninth street and Washington boulevard. Judge Harrison has but few equals as a platform speaker and an audience never goes away without being benefited by his logical words of brain food. He has spoken in this city a number of times and he never grows old to his come back audiences. An elaborate banquet and reception was given in the lecture room of the church after the address. Ex-Mayor Harry B. Burton introduced the speaker. COLORED FRATERNITY HONORS COLONEL YOUNG. (Lincoln News Service) Washington, April 4.—More than 1,000 members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity and their friends paid tribute to the memory of Colonel Charles Young, deceased member of the organization and one of the outstanding military figures of the colored race, at services held last week in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University. Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, U. S. A., retired, told of the military record of Colonel Young. He related his service from his graduation from West Point, through the Spanish-American war and the Philippine disturbances until his retirement in 1917 and his death, January 8, 1922. Alston Burleigh read a poem to commemorate the dead hero, and other appropriate tributes were paid by those who revered the memory of our greatest soldier. for happiness, health, prosperity and success in their future endeavors and we shall hope for his early return to again assume command of the institution which owes, next to Bishop Brooks, its existence to him. For bringing President Crews to us we are grateful to Bishop Brooks and to the great African Methodist Church of America which has produced him and to whose interests he has been unfalteringly true, guarding always jealously her interests.

(Washington, April 4.—On March 19 the Senate confirmed the conference report on the Interior Department appropriation bill, in which the Senate amendment for $500,000 for construction of a new medical building and equipment at Howard University was eliminated. This action apparently places the last hope for the medical building fund squarely dependent upon the bill introduced by Senator Phipps, and in view of the fact that Congress is expected to adjourn by June 1, it is doubtful whether the Howard Bill can be pushed through at this session. Already, the machinery of Congress is clogged with unfinished business, and the opinion is frankly expressed at the Capitol that no new legislation may be expected to pass during the present session. THE WOMEN'S CITY MISSION. The Baptist Women's City Mission had a nice meeting at King Solomon Baptist Church Friday and Mrs. Bohannon presided, and the Missionary made another good monthly report. The next meeting is at Eighth Street Baptist Church. CHICAGO QUINTET OUTGLASSES LINCOLN HIGH Wendell Phillips of Chicago Defeats Lincoln Basketeteers 23 to 13.

MIDNIGHT STARTS NORTH WITH THE DUCKS AFTER SPENDING THE WINTER IN THE SOUTHLAND Will Attend National Race Congress at National Capital St. Augustine, Florida, April 3. Here I am back in this place, and before you can say scat I will be in another place, but you must put it down that this old man has been riding some since he wrote you that last letter, and he will be ready to ride some more, for he is going to South Carolina just as soon as he gets through trying to hear and see the Masons of Florida. I was in Louisiana when I wrote you that other letter. If you will recall I was way out in the country—out with Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Reed, and honey I had some big time out there, and Sunday night the people crowded the church to see and hear me say a few words and make a few scattering remarks, and when I got through I beat it in a hurry to another part of the world. I shall ever feel indebted to the teachers in that community. When I got through with the city, I made my way to Alexandria, La., where I was met at the stable by the Rev. Dr. J. R. Campbell, president of the Lampton college, one of the institutions of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and one of the men who claims that the Lord had called him to be a bishop, and while I may doubt him, I will not question the wisdom of God, and I will drop it there and will let Louisville, Ky., tell the story. For if God wants you, no one can block God's plans. I hope that all will be well. Next found me headed for a city called Shreveport, in the state of Louisiana. You see that something had happened there. Dr. Griffin had disappeared and they were looking for his body, dead or alive, they wanted to find out what had happened to him. He was a leading physician, and I mean all that is implied by leading. He had him a hospital and was dong well. One afternoon there came to him a call to come at once. It was about 7 o'clock, and the voice was that of a female woman. He got himself together and made the trip. About 11 o'clock there was another call and this time informed his wife that her husband was in trouble and it would not be safe for her to remain in the hospital, and the next morning they found his hat, his automobile, car carriage, but failed to find the doctor. Such is life, and there we have it and just where I am not prepared to say. Is he dead? No he is not dead. Then where in the hen feathers is he? Time may reveal it. It is another novel in the racial life, and you will have to wait to locate the hero or heroine. It is either one or the other. I have so often said that this world is full of damphules, and I am not getting far away from that. But there was a big time in New Orleans, and a bigger time in Shreveport, and you will rejoice with me that it is all over. Reaching the city I found Grand Master Henry Stewart Davis, of the Mosaic Templars of the world, awaiting my arrival, and he met me over to the Calanthe Temple, and I feel you would like to know something of this wonderful building. It is another monument erected to the race. Will you wait 'til I tell you about it? Of course you will, for you know I am going to tell you as much as I think you ought to know and you can't make me tell you more. But I am going to let you have some information. The Grand Court of Calanthe in Louisiana, like the Grand Lodge, is a factor in this country, and is doing its share to put the race on top. At the head is Mrs. Cora M. Allen, Grand Worthy Counsellor, and she is the Supreme Worthy Inspectrix of the whole shooting match. She is a wonderful character. She has held the position at the head of the order for the past 24 years and has been elected each year in succession. Now this is a recommendation within itself, and now that it is over, she has been do- --- --- THOS. KNAPPER Associate Editor MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Society Editor. MRS. F. L.

Tuesday, April 1, a glowing success given by all auxilaries of the church. Mrs. Catherine Weeden, sponsor. Mrs. Mayme Butler, chairman. More than four hundred persons enjoyed the program of music, conducted by Professor T. H. Reynolds, the choir and the Reynolds Harmony Quartet. The following persons made five minute talks: Revs. D. B. Jackson, S. W. Shannon, Rev. Baker, Rev. Jackson, Prof. J. P. King and the imimitable Rev. Geo. McNeal. Also Rev. Prince, J. E. S. S. Morandu. Responded to by the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, D.D. The talks were inspiring and were given well deserved praise to pastor and members for their splendid achievement in the work of the church and the auxiliaries of the church. The affair was an enjoyable one and reflected credit on the promoter, Mr. C. M. Weeden and all participants. A neat sum was realized for the sinking fund, and everybody is happy for a splendid repast was served. The baptismal services on last Sunday was a record breaker. The Holy Spirit was with us throughout the day and the concensus of opinion is that the pastor was never heard to better advantage in two remarkable sermons. Twentw-four persons put on Christ through the most sacred ordinance of baptism and there was great rejoicing. The B. Y. P. U. was highly entertained. Group 5 giving an excellent program, assisted by other talent. Special mention is made of Mr. James Spaulding's solo, "Teach Me O Lord" (bass.) Duet by Mesdames Black and E. W. Jackson. The violin solo by Master Paul Mobiley was surprisingly good. Madame Georgia L. Jackson sang Burleigh's "Go Down Moses," in a faultless manner. All the little folks were good in their renditions. The city B. Y. P. U. also rendered a great program at 3:00 p. m. All in all Sunday, March 30 was a red letter day. A hearty welcome awaits all who atten dour services. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. E. M. Mosley, Pastor. The Mt. Olive Baptist church members and friends met early Sunday and enjoyed a good service. The cool March-like weather prevented many who desired to be present, from being in the service. The pastor's text, St. Matthew 14, 2 "And said unto His servants, This is John the Baptist, he is risen from the dead and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him." He instructed his hearers on the lives of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, being spiritual examples of Righteousness for mankind. Much good was gained from his discourse. The night services were better attended. The pastor preached from St. Mark's writing, subject "The Mission of the Church." Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned." All enjoyed his discourse. Two additions to the church. The B. Y. P. U. had a great session Sunday evening. Many good pieces were rendered and the attendance was good. The sick members, Sister Jefferson and Sister Brown, are convalescing, and will soon be able to be with us again. We pray for all sick members. Our Mission Circle is doing great work for our sick members. Meet the sisters every monday evening at 7 p. m., and help them. Come to church and help give glory, honor and praise to God.

Clark Insurance : His name is not Mr. ‘Henpecked, although it might well be, for he turns over his pay envelope every Saturday night to his wife, who daily doles him out car fare and Tunch money. It is she who buys him his clothes, and as she likes to be well groomed herself and his salary is not large he suffers as a result, For a while he needed some new shirts. The cuffs of the old ones were beginning to get frayed and the collar bands jagged his thin and sensitive neck. But his pleas were without avail, says the New York Sun and Globe. The shirts were good enough for a long while yet, he was told, and he did not have the courage to take the law into his own hands and step into a haberdasher’s the following Saturday, break his envelope and purchase some him- self. Still something had to te done. The next .morning, taking his bundle to the laundry, he hit upon an idea. Instead of leaving it at the regular place he deposited it with another concern notorious for its ‘mishandling of clothes. When the | bundle was returned the next week it was found that his shirts were in ribbons and his wife perforce had to buy him a new set. SAY IF YOU WANT HAIR Go to 1209 North Ninth Street To—Mme. C.

They were born and molded amidst great volcanic upheavals. The ice king may govern the glaciers, but here the fire king has reigned. The Monts Dore are one long chain of linked volcanoes, now as dead as the mountains in the moon. Nearly sixty gaping craters may still be counted. Even the Monts Dore and the Cantal hills, whose cone-shaped summits, the highest in Auvergne, stand out so impres- sively in the distance, are but the -time-worn ruins of huge volcanoes. All the country round about bears lasting traces of its dramatic past: Beds of lava hidden by the fresh green turf; dark “cheires” of slag and cinders; basaltic pillars like the famous “Orgues de Bort”; giants’ causeways; odd dykes that might be dusky Druid stones; ‘“sucs” and “puys” that might be the pustules of a fever-stricken earth—such are the features which give this central region a strange individuality that has been further intensified by the hand of man.—Boston Transcript.

MIDNIGHT. {Continued from Page 1.) ing some real good, for they have erected a building in the state which cost just $156,000, and believe me when I tell you it is one of the finest buildings in the country, and I think the only one erected by the Court in any state. This is because there has been a remarkable woman at the head. She finished the high school and then the academy, and then out into the world. They have a membership of 7,000 and the building, including fix- tures, cost just around $200,000. It is four stories with a roof garden and subway. In the building is the Stand- ard Life Insurance Company; Liberty Life Insurance Company; H. S. Smith Commercial college; Dr. Sol Powell; Dr. J. M. Johnston; Green & Green Real Estate offices; Universal Grand Lodge of Masons; Windham Brothers Construction Company; Penny Rock Drug Company; Headquarters Frater- nal Progressive Union; three lodge rooms, and the offices of the grand court officers—that is Mrs. Allen has her offices with T. C, Rankin, the clerk and bookkeeper; Mrs. Mattie Carter, secretary and stenographer, and then next door is the well fur- nished office of F. E. Smith, the re- corder of deeds, and I tell you it is worth all the trip to see this. From Shreveport I made a trip fo Texarkana, and I had a fine time there, because I called at the home of Mrs. S. A. Mathes, and then I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Virginia Adams, the stenographer; Mrs. Carrie Mallad, the trained nurse, and Mrs. Duckie Kennedy, the hair dresser and the like. All were delighted to see and talk with me, and then from there I made my way to Beaumont, Texas, found Dr. C. B, Charlton waiting for me at the stable and toted me to his house, That is to say we went to call on Dr. A. W. Williams, the pas- tor of the A. M. E. church, and found him ready to shake my lily black hand and make both of us welcome. There was a big wedding going on in town, and we delighted to see this. Dr. Wil- liams, after I had talked with his wife, hitched up his automobile car carriage and toted us out to Dr. Charlton's. , Next found me on the rest, and started the next morning for New Or- Jeans. I will not be able to tell you much about my New Orleans trip this time, because I am right here at the Florida Normal and Industrial Insti- tute, Prof. N. W. Collier, an able teacher, president, and associated in the work is one of the strongest wom- en in the race, Miss Sarah A. Blocker, a native of Georgia. If you remember I have told you about this school before. It was at one time located in Jacksonville, Fla., known then as the Baptist Academy, but the white people got them to move down here making heavy donations. It is here and they are building up a wonderful educational plant for the race, A new building will be dedicated next month, but it will be in April when you read this letter, and I must say the 24th of this month. The build- ing cost just $35,000 and is indeed a fine building. The school is doing fine work, I wish you could drop in here and see them dedicate the building, for they are going to have the best of the country here. The governor, Hon, C. A. Hardee, is to be here and will speak, and then there will be the superintendent of education for the whole state of Florida, W. A. Corthon, the State Supervisor of Negro Educa- tion, J. H. Brinson, and Dr. Robert R. ‘Moton has been invited to make the principal address, but they have not heard from him yet. John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union, and many others have been invited to be here. I ‘will tell you about them later. Information comes to me that the National Race Congress will meet in Washington, D. C., April 29, and they are getting ready for a great big meeting believe me. It is going to be a great meeting from start to finish. Here I am here in the school, and I will be gone for a few days, if I do not have to go to bed. Let me hear from you. A letter will reach me at 1341 Third Street, N. W. Washington, D.C. I will bring this letter to a stop. J. O. MIDNIGHT. CHAMPION MONARCHS TRAIN. ING AT HOME, Manager Wilkerson Signs Some High Up Players. The Kansas City Monarchs wil train at home this spring, as mos of the regulars have been playing winter ball in Cuba and Californie this winter. Manager Jose Mendez has arrivec from Cuba where he won two pen ants in the split season of the Cubs Winter league. Mendez had a pickec club from the National Negro leagu playing with him at Santa Clara Cuba. The National Negro league still i: at war with the Eastern league anc many players are jumping from one league to the other. Rube Currie who has been with the Monarchs fou years has jumped to the Philadelphis club. All of last year’s players excep! Currie have reported and several oth- er promising players will try for the club. Jack Marshall, who has been with Rube Foster’s Chicago club for sev- eral years, has been released to the Monarchs, William Morris of Oak- land, Cal., another pitcher who has been pitching winter ball in Califor- nia against the big leaguers, has beer signed. The following players have report- ed for practice: Pitchers, Bullet, Re- gan, Plunk Drake, Jose Mendez, Wil- liam Bell, Clifford Bell, William Morris and Hop Bartlett; catchers, Frank Duncan, Henry Williams; in- fielders, L. Hawkins, George Sweatt, |Walter Moore, Newt Allen, Newt Jos- eph, Dewey Creacy; outfielders, John Donaldson, Wade Johnston, Hurley McNair and Heavy Johnson. Bart Portuonda, the crack Cuban third sacker may join the club. Por- tuonda has been playing in the East- ern league since leaving the Mon- archs. * ‘The Monarchs will play several ex- hibition games before opening the season in Chicago, May 1. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) “I am a Republican” makes a goo campaign slogan.” aes A unit of the Ninth Battalion, Ohi National Guards, is being organize in Cincinnati. In one of the plants of the Cleve land Hardware Company there ar 442 colored and 557 white workers. Colonel James T. Brewington, Jr. of Chicago, is a candidate for the po sition of Republican State Centra Committeeman from the First Sen atorial District. Messrs. Fred M. Eu Dailey and the McMahan brothers, well known col- ored contractors and builders of Knoxville, Tenn., have organized a Home Buildérs’ Association. Some of the Colored politicians ap- pear to be getting off the reserva- tion. Surely this is not because the State has no candidate for the Presi- deney this year. President Coolidge has politely in- formed the hysterical members of Congress that they were sent here to legislate rather than to investi- gate, and that the people of the coun- try demand a reduction in taxes. Sure! that’s what we want. The holding of race conferences should not be discouraged. Some of them may eventually follow up their “talk ” and resolutions with a piece of real constructive work. It is doubt- ful, but stranger things have hap- pened. ‘Crocodiles Shed Tears | to Lure Their Victims SEG] Phone Feiler 427 Washington Bl ; g@iace| Dr.M.D.Shields | i 2 : Dentist me) | Pyorrhea Specialist : Conductive Anesthesia - : Best Materials Used | tae : = : .

The expres- ston Is applied to those who falsely | arouse the pity or charity of men. | Erasmus, in his “Adagia,” recounts a legend of the Third century to the effect that crocodiles wept in order | that they might make the river banks slippery and thus cause their victims ‘to fall in, later using additional tears to soften the skulls of those who had ‘slipped and make them easy to mas- ‘tleate, _ as late as 1565 we find a similar | statement to the effect that “in a’ cer- ‘tain countree large snakes called crockodiles slew men and ate them, weeping.” There is a certain basis of truth in all these bellefs, because crocodiles do eniit loud and plaintive noises, some- thing like the howling of a dog, but so far as is known thls Is not done with any Intent to lure prey within thelr reach. ee REAL ESTATE * When Better Homes Are Sold the Old Homestead Will Sell Them The Old Homestead Realty Co. 529 State Avenue.

Shortest Electric Wave Is Only Ten Meters Long | Complete electric waves only ten me- ters long, belleved to be among the shortest ever produced, have been de- veloped by an electric oscillator in- vented by J. P, Barton, a sophomore stuilent at the University of Minneso- ta. ‘The electrical engineering depart- ment is beginning experiments to de- termine whether this current Is prac- ticable In radio communication, The waves compare with ordinary lengths of from 100 to 24,000 meters used in radio communteation, while wave lengths in power transmission are frequently several thousand miles long. One advantage of the short waves is that they can be used more effec- tively in classreom demonstration than longer ones can. The Burton oscillator generates pro- nounced “standing” current so that at one point on a wire several amperes are measured, while a few feet away no current is perceptible. Another of Its freaks Is that short circults on the wire do not seem to affect It. Waves from the new oscillator have the unusually high frequency of 30,- 000,000 cycles per second.
