Powers aud Stome, Inc, New York and Chicago TESS TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1928 RBM HE MADE IT WORK The thirteenth day of May will be the thirty-first birthday anniversary of radio, In that date in 1897 a rich young Italian, Guglielmo Marconi--then contemptuously called the "wireless crank,"--sent an intelli gible message 'across the Bristol Channel mn England, demonstrating that the mysterious electric impulse, which he and his precep- tor, Professor Rhigi, had partly trained, was no mere scientific toy, but could be used for practical communication across bodies of open water spanned by neither bridge nor wire, It was not many months later that ship-to-shore communication was a practi- cal success, Radio, most phenomenal of all modern marvels, was in full career, That historic event thirty-one years ago was not, of course, the very first germ of radio, Back in the first decades of the nineteenth century, more than a hundred years ago, the famous French physicist, Dr, Jean Baptiste Biot, had made what can now be recognized as the first recorded radio ex- periment, His broadcasting station was no electric giant, It was merely a small electric machine like those which once decorated of fices of physicians, His receiver was no in- tricate assemblage of tubes and coils, It was, instead, nothing more mysterious than a pair of frog's legs, He discovered that the leg of 'a frog jumps automatically when en. ergized by an electric current and that when his machine produced electric sparks the legs, suspended at the opposite side of the room, jumped, His writings do not disclose whether he saw in his discovery a future means of communication, After Biot came Heinrich, Hertz and Pop- off and Sir Oliver Lodge and Rhigi and a score of others, All before Marconi, But it was the young Italian who made the thing work, ATHLETES AND ATHLETICS Those who are inclined to deplore the modern tendency to unduly glorify a suc- cessful athlete and to overemphasize athlet- ics need not deceive themselves that such has not always been the custom, Canadians make much ado over profes- sional baseball and hockey. Millions have been expended on stadiums and there 'has been widespread dissatisfaction over the fact that football coaches earn more in three months than professors earn in nine, There is another popular superstition to the effect that college and high school athletics, league baseball, golf and horse racing are being taken too seriously, at the expense of aca- demic studies, home and business, Sports have reached a high stage of de- velopment on this continent and in some European countries, yet none seem to have even approximated the athletics and sports of ancient Rome and Greece. The Colosseum and similar arenas and amphitheatres of Rome and Greece have left their ruins to remind the modern world how ancient civilizations lavished their wealth on their athletics and athletes. The Olympion- ikae, as the victors of the Olympiads then were known, were showered with every con- ceivable honor and opportunity for living in luxury ever after. SUPPLANTING THE DAIRY MAID The dairy maid has virtually passed out of the rural scene in the United States, says an exchange. The bureau of dairy industry at Washington reports that the picturesque young woman so long associated with the production of butter is rapidly disappearing from the dairy farms. Instead of the old-fashioned dasher churn, which was followed later by the barrel variety, there is found today the cream separator and the milking machine. Farm butter is still looked upon in some sections as superior to that produced in the creameries--ihe industrial age's substitute for the dairy maid and milk house. But THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 24, 1928 from 1904 to 1920 creamery production in- creased 40 per cent and during the following six years another 60 per cent increase in production by the creameries took place. Throughout that period farm butter produc- tion fell off, The greater demand for milk in the cities has resulted in the shifting of the manu- facturing centre of butter from time to time. Increases in butter production by southern, westein and central states has largely compensated for the decrease in the New England states, The Northwest now holds the lead in this industry, but it al- ready sees in the South a real competitor, In twenty years the South has increased its creamery butter production 2,600 per cent. SUCCESS Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is, The most success. ful men are not necessarily the ones noisily attracting public attention, The best and most useful women are not the bright but- terflies of fashion on the stage, whose press agents incessantly flaunt their pictures and their petty doings before the publie, The unlauded men and women who are quietly attending to their own little duties, every day contributing sométhing substan. tial to general industry, prosperity and pro- gress, rearing children in habits of useful work and right living and supplying examp- les that elevate the moral and intellectual level of their little communities--these are the men and women of real influence and power, Success is theirs in the fullest measure. How shrunken and pitiful a thing, how hollow a delusion, is the shining so-called success of self-absorbed men and women, They have only the husks of life's golden grain, Like that soldier under Galerius who found a shining leather bag filled with pearls and cast away the pearls but carefully pre- served the bag, these self-absorbed ones are spurning true riches, real success, to hug to their hearts things that are empty and worthless, EDITORIAL NOTES A liberator is one who suppresses those who formerly suppressed his crowd. The vulgarities that shock people most in _ public are the ones they enjoy most in priv- ate, Communism will work, All we need is a world of people who had rather give than get, It isn't generosity that makes a free spender that way; he spends most of it on himself, Anything called "a necessity in every household" is made of tin and gets out of fix next day, Don't despair. If you can't run, you can sit on the fence and register scorn during the race, Those German philosophers were nearly right, War won't make a people tough, but grubbing to pay for it will, If a modern should invent a better mouse trap, the beaten path would be made by people asking him to make speeches, Bit of Verse THE HAPPIEST TIME When did you say is the happiest time? Did you say "In childhood's morn"-- When the air is rent with the merry shouts From the youthful hearts upborne? When did you say is the happiest time? Comes it swift with love's young dream? In the hour of youth, when the daily path Is bright as the sunlit stream? Did you say "It comes with manhood's pride And the consciousness of power-- With the arm of strength and the stronger will, Ambition's well-earned dower"? When the broad, rich fields, the dream of youth, With their harvest did abound, When the feet in the path had hardly pressed Ere the thorns grew thick around? Whenever we find that Inward Peace-- Oh, that is the happiest time! When we look no more with a trembling dread Toward heavenly scenes sublime. --Charlotte Talcott-Cox At a Glance If they give a job to you, Do it.

Bunce, Oakville, Died from Peritonitis After Operation Hamilton, April 23.--Conflicting evidence was given at the inquest tonight into the death of Mrs. Mar- garet Bunce, wife of David Bunce of Oakville, who died at the Gen- eral Hospital here on April 15 a few hours after being admitted. She was 37 years of age and the mother of four children, The jury returned a verdict that. death was due to virulent peritonl- tis as a result of an illegal treat- ment. Coroner Mecllwraith, who presided, made some startling ob- servations regarding the prevalence of the symptoms of such practice. "Unfortunately," he sald, '"'our hospitals are never free of women suffering from this train of symp- toms." Dr. Brown, Assistant Superinten- dent of the General Hospital, sald Mrs. Bunce was admitted at 3 o'clock on the morning of April 15, and died about noon the same day. He saw her first at 8 o'clock that morning, and found her very ill, He was suspicious of her mals ady, and asked her for a history of her {llness. Dr. Brown said he then asked Mrs. Bunce if "any one had done anything to bring it on," and she replied that some one had.
