Shenandoah to Have Greatest Air Radio

ASHINGTON — The moat powerful radio transmitting station ever taken aloft will be on board the navy dlrt-

gible Shenandoah when she joins the Atlantic fleet to co-operate tn war maneuvers and later crosses the continent for similar work with the Pacific fl«-et. According to officers, the set will have a greater range than the wireless of any of the world’s passenger ships. The set is now being completed tn the radio division of the naval experimental and research laboratory tn Bellevue, near here. To make toom for it the engine was removed from the control car of the Shenandoah during repairs made necessary by her runaway flight, and an entirely new aftersection designed to replace the old motor cabin. An effective sending range of 1.000 miles was the minimum requirement set for the navy’s radio engineers when they were told to build the new wireless plant. That was the least they were to do. What they hive done, according to the giant airship’s offiqfrs, is to turn out a set that un ter the most favorable" transmitting conditions will have an ether reach of between 4,000 and 5.000 miles. Compared with the 400 or 500 mHe

Urge Education for “Back -to - Nature”

DUCATIONAL forces throughout the country have been called f upon to enlist in the out-of-doot program mapped out at the ses-

sions of the Out Door Recreation conference called by President Coolidge. This was brought out by the resolutions submitted by the committees appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, who presided at the Washington sessions. With the appointment of an executive committee the organization became a permanent body. The membership of this committee Is: Chauncey J. Hamlin, New York, chairman. Dr. John C. Merriam, California, vice chairman. Dr. George E. Scott, Illinois, treasurer and chairman finance committee. Dr. Vernon Kellogg, California, secretary. Walter F. Martin, Washington, D C. John Barton Payne, Illinois. Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin. New York. Charles Sheldon, Washington, D. C. Mrs. John D. Sherman. Colorado, president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. George Shiras 111. Michigan. James E. West, New York.

U. S. Pours $75,000,000 Into Road Funds

IHE agricultural appropriation bill signed recently by the President provides federal aid for the fiscal year 1925 which be-

gan July 1. The bill authorizes the secretary of agriculture to apportion to" the states immediately the $75,000,000 authorized by the post office appropriation act of June 19, 1922. and appropriates $13,000,000 to be immediately available, the remainder to be made avallalfle in later appropriations. The apportionment is made to rhe states op the same basis as for preceding years, except Hawaii is for the first time admitted to a share, which is on the same basis as for the states. This has been provided for in an act of the present session of congress. Illinois receives $3,203,867.99 of the fund. Since 1916 a total of $540,000,000 has been made available by previous a ts of congress, and the bureau of public roads, which administers these funds.

Slight Decrease Is Noted in Employment

ECREASES of 5.2 per cent In I employment and of 2 per cent In the pay roll totals for this year were found by making a

comparison of employment reports compiled by the United States Department of Labor from a survey of 5.772 establishments in 46 Industries taken In April. 1923, and the same month this year. The statistical reports cover 2.045,195 employees in April, 1924, and show their earnings amounted to $54,934.432,' while in April of las* year there were 2.158.055. whose earnings amounted to $56.043,735. Gains In employment were reported In only 13 of the 46 Industries. Gains in the earn Ings of employees were reported In 20 Industries. “The iron and steel Industry gained 8.7 per cent In the number of employees and 1745 per cent In earnings." the departmental report states. “Among Industries which gained both tn numbers of employees and pay roll totals were the cement, sugar refining, electrical goods, automobiles, book and

War Heads Planning New Joint Air Board

EOItGANIZATION of the joint aeronautical board has been agreed upon by Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary of

the Navy Wilbur, in order to prevent duplication of effort and to effect more complete co-operation and co-ordina-tion in the development and employment of the army air service and naval avintlon. Under the new precept approved by the two secretaries the joint board will investigate, study and report on all questions affecting jointly the development and employment of the army air service and naval aviation referred to it by the secretary of war. the secretary of the navy or the joint army and navy board. The aeronautical board also will be charged with originating consideration of such subjects when, in its judgment. It is necessary, and of recommending whatever it considers essential to establtoh sufficiency and efficiency of cooperation and co-ordination of effort. All recommendations of the aeroMUtiral .

range of the dirigible’s present set. these figures are impressive. Longdistance sending will be taken care of by means of a tube transmitter, operating on a wave-length range of 500 to 1.500 meters. For shorter ranges the new wireless equipment Includes an auxiliary transmitter with a minimum range of 500 miles. This transmitter operates on comparatively Imy power by resorting to high frequencies. It works at 3.000 kilocycles on a 100-meter wave length. A six-kilowatt generator, driven by a special gasoline motor, supplies alternating current for the main transmitter and direct current to replenish the plant’s storage batteries and to light the ship. The batteries also furnish “juice” for starting the generator motor. In case this breaks down in flight the batteries have sufilclent reserve power to operate the auxiliary transmitting set for some time in addition to keeping necessary lights burning. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Shenandoah’s new equipment Is her radio compass. So far as is known It is the first radio compass to be installed on a llghter-than-air ship and Is said to be without counterpart in all the radio world.

The American Nature association of Washington Is leading in this campaign. and In co-operation with Mrs. John D, Sherman, the newly elected president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, the association is carrying on a campaign of education to this end. Mrs. Anna Botsford Cornstock. the leader In nature study in struction in the United States, directs the nature study lessons for the association. In commenting on the work of the conference, Charles L. Pack, who is chalrmas of the committee on state parks and forests, says: “The call of President Coolidge came at an opportune time. As never before, millions are now getting into the out of doors and closer to nature. These millions must be educated, not alone to the wonders of nature, but as to the direct bearing nature has upon their daily lives. Extreme need of education to halt the destruction of nature’s wonders is shown by the estimates that predict three million automobiles will be sold in 1924 and only twelve million books. That means only one book to every twelfth family. It also means that thousands of newcomers will take to the road.

reports the status on May 31 as follows: Completed, 32,099 miles; under construction, 17,000 miles; approved for construction, 2.518 miles, and $33,106.126 available for new projects. Practically all of the old funds and the entire amount of the new funds have been or will be expended on the federal aid highway system of tne United States. This system, provided for by the federal highway act of 1921, consists of approximately 170.000 miles of roads, and has been designated by the states and approved by the federal government. At the beginning of 1924 It was estimated that 60.000 miles of the system had been surfaced, about 8,700 miles graded, leaving 110,000 miles to be surfaced. Some of This work had been done by the states independent of federal aid. To surface the remaining 110,000 miles by 1934 will require an annual program of 11,000 miles.

job and newspaper printing, and sawmills and millwork. These Increases, however, are considerably smaller than those In the steel industry. Referring to the wages and hours In the Iron and steel industry, the federal review states: “While the eight-hour turn has been adopted as the Standard working time for ail employees in some entire plants and In certain department divisions in other plants, the twelve-hour shift still prevails to a large extent. Some employees also work seven days a week. “In the United States the total number of children from ten to firteen years of age reported as engarsd in gainful occupations in 1920 was IXMiO.858, representing 8.5 per cent children in that age period, as compared with 1,990.225 or 18.4 per cent in 1910; 1.750J900 or 18.2 per cent in 1901; 1.503,771 or 18.1 per cent in 1890. “This increase was general throughout the country »»d was more marked for boys than for girls. Only six states showed an increase in the number of children gainfully employed."

or joint plans for the tactical or strategical employment of aircraft or for the location of air stations, will be addressed to the joint army and navy board for consideration and recommendation to the secretaries of war and of the navy. So far as practicable, development of new types of aircraft, aircraft motors and aircraft accessories, or of weapons to be used from aircraft, will be assigned to the army or navy and carried out only by the service to which assigned. < The aeronautical board is specifically charged with the development of plans to prevent competition in the procurement of material both at home and abroad; consideration of ail projects for experimental stations on shore, coastal air stations and stations to be used jointly for the army and navy or for extensive additions thereto and also consideration of all estimates of appropriations for the aeronautical programs of the army and navy before such estimate, are submitted to can

The peasant blouse, such as forms part of the picturesque country club or afternoon frock in this illustration, is of purely middle-Europe origin. Its embroidery is done by the peasantry itself, these finely-worked blouses havIfig found their way to American fashion centers in groat numbers. They are accorded a prominent place among summer modes. There is a flavor of Spanish Influence in the little bolero and the wide gracefully knotted sash. Rumor has it that the bolero is coming back into fashion and it is a fact that some of the advance fall suits show this tendency. Perhaps this Is the outcome of the sleeveless vogue for the jacquette without sleeves Is prominently featured this season. Particularly does this costume illus:rate the tendency to use two fabrics n the making. Outstanding among

LITTLE FELT HAT POPULAR

midsummer costumes are those which stress white with color. The fact that the broad sash ends are bordered with the same fabric as the bolero, which, by the way. is navy plalded crepe, relates the entire into an ensemble costume. Bright silk prints are especially selected to combine with white or pongee solid shades. There is always a little coatee, perhaps In mandarin straight lines or sleeveless as some of the three-piece suits include. At any rate the same gay fabric used for the Jacquette is repeated on the white one or two-piece dress, in preferably Belts Are Broader Belts, especially those with sports costumes, have ceased to be a mere .string of leather and have broadened to a width of at least two Inches. The buckles usually are of Moyenage design.

a border placed around the skirt hem. Seasons come and seasons go, but the vogue for the little felt hat flourishes alike midst winter’s chilling blasts or under torrid summer skies. What a field for designing the felt bat offers to nimble fingers and creative genius! The hat in the center of this group is literally banked with queer looking flowers, themselves cut front

pieces of gay-colored felt in grotesque shapes. By the way, the latest news from Paris confirms the vogue for the felt shape trimmed in contrasting felt. In regard to the felt chapeau shown to the left above: It is very cleverly designed, in that a half circle is cut out from each side of the crown, falling at each side over the brim, forming a sort of wing effect. Novelty silver ribbon is inset so as to till in the open spaces at each side of the crown, with a finish of ribbon binding. A cravat of the ribbon encircles the crown and colorful wooden beads contribute their share of charm. Slashing felt is a favorite treatment and its effectiveness is demonstrated in two models here shown, in the one instance rows of ribbon are run in and out in checkerboard design and in the other drapes of soft silk are inter-run through the slashes.

tying out a chrysanthemum pattern supply the decorative feature of the off-the-face felt shape In lower rightband '•orner. Wee cubes of shiny brown galalith are placed in geometric pattern on the hat to the left. Notice its high crown, for this foretells the fall millinery tendency..
