the key up after each wrist action.
Having noted these preliminaries,
the beginner is ready to start.
A dash is held approximately three
times as long as a dot.
A dot is held just long enough to
get a short, snappy sound from the
buzzer.
Take the first letter—dot, dash.
Repeat several times. Listen intent
ly. Note the difference between th/
fff the club members from Monte
zuma and other nearby towns to get
to Americus over the bad roads.
Two selections sung by Mrs. Dan
O’Connell wereof particular pleasure,
her splendid voice showiny to good
adfantage in the large auditorium.
Mr o . W. D. Moreland and Miss Mar
tha Wheatley read the short descrip
tions concerning the pictures, which
added much to the interest. Much
credit is due Miss Wheatley fir her
untiring efforts in placing before the
Americus public pictures of such
rare beauty and value.
Because of some misunderstand
ing by the general public it was
thought that hte pictures would be
shown like painting from the walls,
and many would have gone to see
the slides produced from a projec-
dot and dash. Watch your position.
Don’t be in a hurry. You will
memorize the code soon enot ;h.
Make each character concise in it
self. Don’t leave any space between
the dot and the dash of the first let
ter.
Learn Slowly.
When you have learned the “A”
of your wireless ABC, take the next
letter. It is much harder. Stop
after each effort.
Don’t take more than four letters
a day. Be sure you know those be
fore you go on to the next group.
When you feel that you have mas
tered the alphabet, learn the code
, for the period, comma, question
mark and error. No need to bother
| about other characters.
Don’t expect to start plucking mes
sages out of the air immediately. It
will take a little time before you will
ibe sure of yourself. But once you
. get started, you will realize that
I there is lots more in the air—

VAILLIMER GILBERT
SAN FRANCISCO. April L—Sud
den wealth isn’t going to spoil the
fun of Vaillimer Gilbert, schoolboy,
16.
He’s-going right ahead with the,
same old wireless set he had before |
a SIBO,OOO fortune came along to in- ■
terrupt his happy, though humble,
course of life.
“Naw, 1 wouldn't buy one of them '
fixed-up sets,” says Vaillimer. “It’s
more fun to make your own. Well,
I can buy an audion now, maybe.
And perhaps I'll get a sending set.
But no matter how much money I
had I wouldn’t trade my outfit for a
readymade.” _
Unexpected.
Vaillimer knew little of his parent
age until the news came to him re
cently that a grandmother of his had
died and had left him her fortune.
She was Mrs. Amelia Ross Moore of
New York.
“I’m not worrying about what I’ll
do with it,” he announces philo
sophically “If 1 hadn’t got it I’d
never known the difference. I was
havin’ a lot of fun with my set when
the money came along and, believe
me, it isn’t going to spoil my fun.
“I’m not goin’ around buying
things—l get more fun out of mak
ing them.”
The boy hail been making his
home here under the care of E. A.
Crape, his foster father.
