The government has established
two radio sending stations in Lake
Erie; one at the Detroit river light
and one at Buffalo. Other stations
have been placed in operation at dif-
ferent locations along the chain of
lakes. And in addition to this all of
the important broadcasting stations on
the lakes have been accurately be
rated for the benefit of the users of
the radio compass, so it is now
possible for a captain groping in the ;
fog in Lake Erie to listen to a little
jazz music from WCX and learn how
close his ship is to the Southeast
shoals. The signals from the goy-
ernment radio compass stations are ,
sent out on a 1,11110-meter wave
length."

Proud of R•eo.
The major was extremely proud of
his race and his character may well
he judged by the reply he made to
one who quarreled with him in poli-
tics. Ile was a warm supporter of
Jefferson and his principles, at a time
when the great Virginian himself was
ostracized by Philadelphia society be-
cause of his republicanism.
In reply to a man who attacked
him for being "a Jew, a Republican,
and poor," Nones wrote in a letter tee
the United States Gazette that he
gloried in his Judaism and declared
that he had no desire to change either
his religious or his political feelings.
"I am a Jew," he wrote, "and, if
for no other reason, for that reason
ant I a Republican." In those days
to be a Republican in politics was
very different from what the name
connotes today. Nimes, in his letter,
defended his people and asserted that
his poverty might have been caused
by too scrupulous honesty.
Hudson, Essex Meet Tests.
In many parts of the country Hud-
son-Essex dealers are demonstrating
in interesting and spectacular ways
the unusual strength of the Essex all-
steel coach. In one city more than
three tons of wooden and steel beams
were placed on the roof of the body
without in any way affecting it. After
this demonstration was over, in fact,
the body was remounted on a chassis
and is being used as a demonstrator
by the distributor.
In another city—located in the cot-
ton belt—a dealer piled two hales of
cotton on the roof of the car and
, drove around the streets. Inasmuch
as all Southerners know that a bale
'of cotton weighs more than 500
pounds, the sight attracted a great
deal of attention.
"Such tests as these," according to
Aaron DeRoy, Hudson-Essex distrib-
utor here, "are evidences of the Hud-
son-Essex claim that there is no auto-
mobile body made, at any price what-
ever, which is more solid, rigid and
,strain-proof than the all-steel Hudson
and Essex coaches. Not only are they
• built exceptionally strong and rigid,
but also they are so unitisf with the
, chassis that the whole structure is
' virtually one unit."
