ters Join With Others in Air Communication
(By L. Armstrong Kern)
Sitting in an easy chair with a pair
of telephone receivers on one's head
and, while puffing away comfortably'
at a pipe, listening to a concert or a
church service 500 miles away by
wireless telephone is the latest diver-
sion offered the students of the Uni-
versity, thanks to experimental work
being conducted by the Westinghouse
company in Pittsburg.
The Westinghouse company in that
city has for some time past been mak-
ing a practice of sending out music
from their radio 'phone set and any
station within a considerable radius
is able to "copy" it as was evidenced
by the fact that the radio station on
the engineering building hears the
signals of the eastern telephone set
regularly and with considerable in-
tensity.
Holds Church Service
But in addition to entertaining half
the country with mere music, the
Pittsburg station regularly, every
Sunday night, establishes connection
by land telephone line with one of the
local churches and transmits the en-
tire service, the wave length used
being about 330 meters., The eastern
religious service was heard in its en-
tirety here last Sunday night for the
first time and, although the distance
covered is considerable, IMhe music
and preaching were both quite plain.
Efforts were also made recently to
hear a radio concert given by a Sche-
nectady stringed orchestra broad-
casted from that city through the sta-
tion of the Union College Radio club.
The concert was a part of the experi-
ments which the college is conducting
along the line of wireless telephony.
Nearby interference, however, pre-
vented this station being heard on
the campus here, though some Ann
Arbor amateurs state that the signals
were very strong at their sets.
All these experiments being con-
ducted throughout the country mark
merely another step in the present-
day advancement which radio has
been making, both in amateur and
commercial fields.
Set Records
Among amateurs a number of trans-
mitting records have recently been
made, notable among which have been
the communicating with Scotland by
a New York amateur and some long
distance records made by another ex-
perimenter on Long Island who,
though limited like all others in power
and wave lengths, was "copied" off
Pernambuco, S. A., 3600 miles.
It was this latter station which was
also heard loudly all the way from
New York to London by an Atlantic,
vessel and which was read plainly by
another boat off Gibralter. Notable
also among amateur transmitting
achievements is the case of the mes-
sage which was sent through four
stations from Hartford, Conn., to San
Francisco and a reply received back
in Hartford, all in six and one-half
minutes.
BELGIAN CONGO FIELDS SHOW
HEAVY DIAMOND PRODUCTION
Washington-Two hundred thous-
and carats in raw diamonds came out
of the Belgian Kongo fields in 1919
and the rate of production is expected
to continue in future, Consul Messer-
smith at Antwerp, has reported.
Owing to the state of the diamond
market, however, efforts to establish
an agency for direct sale of raw
stones to Antwerp cutters have met
with opposition, he said, on the
ground that no further raw stones
should be marketed until conditions
improved.
(By E. . I.)
Young wife over phone: Hello, is
this you, dear?
Erring husband: Yes, darling, who
is this?
Notice: Will the one-armed man
who removed Si Hawkin's left mitten
from the counter of the general store
kindly return same or call for the1
other mitten.?
The following was received by D. D
(see column title) recently, it evi-
dently being the belief of the writer
that this was a question and answer
column:
"Dear D. D., if a cat swallows a ball
of yarn, will its kittens be born with
sweaters on? Sincerely, Curious."
CLOTHES AND THE MAN
It is the fashion now I guess to talk
about the styles of dress, so thence
I'll shove my pen; the co-eds bare
have had their share so at their de-
fects I'll not stare, but turn instead
to college men.,
It used to be that color schemes oft
blue and red with fancy seams would
be the heighth of style; a checkered
vest with three inch checks would
captivate the fairer sex and win an
approbation smile. But times have1
passed since that was true, we'vex
jilted other habits too, that graced
the days of yore; the former "dia-
monds in the rough" are now one-
horse fresh-water stuff, and college
romance is no more.
The college is a grinding mill, each
new class with a tragic will dumps1
in its high school clothes; then theyy
take out their college suits, a campus.
trade mark, top to boots, a fashion
everybody knows. Each wears his
slouchy hat crushed in, we wonder
where it might have been but for two
propping ears; angora muffler, knee-
break pants, four-button coat, all
these enhance the campus-treading
steers.
In Asia Minor or Japan we recog-
nize the college man, his outfit tells
the tale; two words describe it best I
guess, it is a studied carelessness at-
s E _
tempted by the male.
The styles of days of old recall de-
signs upon the Tap Room wall, a
glaring natty dress; but at the prsnt
it would seem they've reached the op-
posite extreme, collegiate in sloppi-
ness.
STATE OF MINNESOTA SUED
FOR COIlTTING TRESPASS
Washington-The unique charge
that a neighbor state was committing
a physical trespass on her territory
was presented to the Supreme Court
in the original suit in equity instituted
by the state of North Dakota against
Minnesota. Operations of the Minne-
sota state drainage project based on
the Mustika River, North Dakota as-
serted, so increased the volume of that
river that it was unable to carry the
water off, and as a result, in 1915-
1916, extensive farm areas ix North
Dakota were inundated to the "grave
distress and financial impairment" of
the owners.

Spectacular Sensational Success
"PAYING THE PIPER"
A Rhymed Review
By Russel Holman
Dancing through the Broadway nights,
Worshipping the money god;
Wasters 'mid the gay white lights,
Ill they knew the path they trod.
'Til Dame Fortune sneered good-by,
Seized their gold and turned away;
Then from black and stormy sky.
Dawned a brighter, saner day.
Such. in brief, the vivid tale
Picturized with all the skill
George Fitzmaurice brings; don't fail
To come and feel its trenchant thrill.
