Martin Jaberg had charge of the program for the afternoon and read a very instructive paper on "The Philippine Islands" Mrs. Jaberg described the Islands as I i large archipelago of more than 3,000 islands near the coast of Asia? She gave a descriptive outline of it's size, which, when purchased from Spain by the United States, added 100,000 square miles of land to ilie United States possessions. Mrs. Jaberg also spoke of the tropical climate of the country and stated that he climate of the northern part near . Luzon, was best fitted for inhabits- i tian by white man. The commercial products of the country were named is sugar cane, tobacco, cocoanut, hemp and mineral resources. One subtopic entitled “The Philippine Women in Society.” was given byMrs. Harl Hollingsworth. As a cur"ent event, Mrs. Jaberg read a most nteresting letter received by herself tnd husband from an Indian boy whom they had tutored while teach ing on an Iridian reservation in Arizona. At the close of the program, the hostess served delicious refreshments The meeting next week will be a social meeting at the home of Mrs. Ed Ahr. with a pot-luck supper it the supper hour. o—■ Personal; Th’ way some fellers kin hit a quspidor only shows what they might have accomplished if they’d directed ther talents in th' right channels.

WILLIAM JONES t LEAVES PRISON • i r - fi One Os Four Sentenced In " Hawkins Case Wins A Parole j Leavenworth, Kansas, March 8. - - I ■ INS) -William M. Jones, 46, former 1 secretary of the Indiana Board of < Agriculture, was on hts way to his f Indiana home today accompanied by J his devoted wife, following ills release from the federal prison here J where he had served 20 months and f 2 days of a three year sentence imposed upon him for using the mails fl to defraud in connection with the 1 failure of the Hawkins Mortgage com- I pany In which thmiMnds of investors 8 lost more than 15,000,000. f Jones stepped from the prison, a; ’ ; free man. late yesterday and was re- r united with his wife at St. Louis ' The couple expected to reach Indian- < apolls today and arrive at Fairmount, ’ Ind., the Jones home, on Friday. t "How do I feel?" Jones asked as he f emerged from the prison wreathed in I smiles. “I never felt better In my t life.” i The order for Jones’ release was f ssued Monday but a delay in the de- | liverv of the order from Washington held up the release until late yesterday. ( Jones had been running the peni- , tentiary chicken ranch since his ar- ( rival at the prison. He had spent ( only a few days actually behind bars as the chicken ranch is outside and Is operated only by trusties. "I am going back to my far/n and it will soon be a better farm than -iver before,’’ Jones said. He owns a 200-a< re farm near Fairmount. "My only regret is that I didn't get out sooner so that I did not have to niss my weekly farmers’ social meetng which is held at Fainnonnt every Thursday,” Jones said. “The first thing I am going to do, however, when I get. home, is to go fishing. I lave been wanting to do that for a ong time. Then I’ll return and make ■nough money from that farm to put. ny five children through college.” Jones was the irst of the four men sent to the prison here as the result of lhe 'Hawkins Mortgage (’ompauv lebacle. to be paroled. The three >ther men involved in the case, who still are in the prison here are Morton S. Hawkins, elusive head of the lefunct company, Mord Carter, Indiinapoi'is banker and business man ind William M. Webb, of St. Louis, i briber Baptist preacher. Jones’ connection with Hie famous Hawkins ease was as president of the 'ndiana Rural Crerflts 4 Association which was absorbed by the Hawkins company. o RADIO COOKING NOW IS POSSIBLE, GENERAL ELECTRIC ANNOUNCES Schenectady, N. Y.—(U.PJ—Fryless ried eggs and unbaked baked apples ore stunts of radio looking made possible by development of a. new high frequency radio tub announced today it the General Electric Company’s aboratories here. Demonstrations which a few years igo would have been relegated to the realm of fairy talcs are being shown at the laboratories where a short wave radio, an innocuous looking vacuum tube five inches in diameter, set down in a wooden cage. Joes the work of a cook stove, and alectric warming pad, or an electric ighting plant. An incadescent lamp, pulled from its socket for the first i time, lights to full brilliancy without wires or socket; a copper bar lying on the floor, blisters the hand that picks it up, though the metal is sold, and a neon tube suddenly floods the room with its lurid red glow when merely touched by a spectator. The lube is surrounded by a network of wires, condensers, and electric meters. The tube operates as u self-excited oscillator on a wave-length of six meters, and is capable of radiating from It) to 15 kilowatts of high frequency power probably 5(1 times as much as any short wave t.ulic has heretofore been able to produce. The tube is coqneeted through a coupling system to a copper bar approximately three meters long, which const! 1 tutes the tuned aerial circuit, and is able to radiate into space the full 15 kilowatts generated by the oscillator. "This 6 meter tube lias nothing new Hi principle," naid'H. J. Nolte, who is actively engaged in high-power, vacuum’ tube’ development. “Very short radio waves have always been easy , to produce ut low power. Also, very ! high power has for some time been available at the longer wave lengths, j This is the first time, hovvever, that we have been able to combine Hie two, so as to get relatively large ' power outputs on the short wavelengths. This new tube Is a step in the development of shoft-wave radio transmlsHlon. on which wo have been Intensively engaged for several years. Al present we can generate the power. lint we have not yet devised a method of controlling its frequency within the close limits necessary for com inercia I opera lion." When asked wbal plans were underway for the future of the highpower short-wave investigation, L. A. Hawkins, executive engineer of the icscarch laboratory, said I bat Gc.mral Electric had no deliuite plaus for this I

Investigation. "The proposition was to build a high-power tube of this type,” he said, "and our time has so far been taken entirely with the development of the apparatus Itself. Vacuum tube technique had to be Improved considerably before It was possible to design and produce an oscillator which would give the large power output we were seeking. We had not studied the applications of the new tube at all. except to make a record of the interest ing sidelights which its operation has brought out. The demonstrations indicate that many of the high-frequen-cy phenomena may be worth investigating, and it is likely that in the ■ future applications will suggest themselves, as they always do when a new Held is entered.” hi the radio cooking a wire was suspended over a table at some distance from the radiating aerial, and parallel to it. A sausage, placed in a glass tube, was hung from the end of this receiving aerial, and In a few minutes began to steam. On being removed, it was found to have been beautifully cooked by the high frequency currents induced in it, although no flames or other visible means of heating were applied. A fry-less fried egg was also prepared in the glass tube, and served hot to the spectators. An apple was impaled upon the end of the receiving aerial, and in a short time, was thoroughly baked to the core.

D. Perhaps because of this early start, or by reason of the fuvornble ’ location of the province in regard to Industrial cities of northern Europe. Friesland farmers have grown prosperous through many years of furnishing their neighbors with butter and cheese. - ■ o Getting a Squatter’s Right Starting at the bottom of the ladder Is all right; ft’s camping there that's wrong.

A sensational report was printed by the Daily Express that Mies Mackay and Hlnchcllffc would hop off on a non-stop trans-Atlantic flight for America, but i fter developments indicated that the flyers planned to head towards India. Thel Daily Exi ress published a circumstantial account of the plans for a trans-Atlantic flight, but there was no confirmation from either Miss Mackay or Captain GOITRE NOT A DISEASE Milwaukee Doctor Makes Remarkable Discovery — Milwaukee, Wis. — It has been I brought to light by scientific research that goitre is not a disease and is not to lie terated as such. Dr A. A. Rock. Dept. 699, Box 737, Milwaukee, Wis., ti prominent goitre specialist for over 24 years, has perfected a different method of treatment for his patients that has proved remarkably ■successful. This same method is now being used stir a home treatment lof goitre cases all over the country | with astonishing results. The doctor states that’ goitre is a condition which grows worse with neglect ami ■ recommends immediate attention no ' matter how small the growth may appear. He strongly opposes needlit ss operations.
