Witkowski Principal, School of Radio, International Correspondence Schools Associate Member, Institute of Radio Engineers I^tOß centuries man has battled . against the insects for suprem acy. To date the battle is still not won. Man has called science to his aid to develop methods which enable him to slay his insect ene mies by the millions, but other mil lions are born to threaten his ex istence by spreading disease or destroying his food supply. Radio’s short-waves, whose im portance in long-distance radio transmission is familiar to all radio enthusiasts, are the latest scientific । weapon which gives promise of bringing nearer man’s victory, at least on the food-supply front. As experiments continue the possibil ity increases that we may be able to develop what would be in effect a radio death-wave for marauding insects, and one that would operate on a wholesale scale. At the present stage of develop ment, an adjustable short-wave transmitter is connected to two condenser test plates. Plants bear ing the insects which are to be killed are placed between the two plates. The radio waves induce currents in the insects’ bodies which make them hot to the touch and kill them within ten to thirty seconds. Since the margin be tw’oen the frequencies which kill insects and plants is wide, the plants are not damaged by the cur rent. So far the death-wave for insects has been used only on a laboratory Ad No. 258 2 cols, x 100 lines iiF Where’s yoorV " CHANCE TO GET * i k REAL SHAVING J Ik VALUE J, f fcw Zk P^ v< (\ • Enjoy perfect shaving comfort and save money o TOy- ^r\' \ at the same time.

Hints to Cas’deners by Gilbert Bentley Flower Expert Ferry Seed Institute Soils Flowers Prefer GARDENERS will have better suc cess with their flowers if care , is taken to plant them in the most suitable soil available, for certain flowers have rather peculiar prefer ences. Even though you may have beds ' or plots of good, rich soil, there are I some flowers that will not do as ( well in it as they might in poorer soil. The rost satisfactory flowers for soil that is generally poor are nas turtium, love-lies-bleeding, Joseph’s coat, celosia, alyssum, California poppy, calendula, love-in-a-mist and hollyhock. ( Zinnia, petunia, portulaca, snap dragon, stock, heliotrope, marigold and salvia do best in a rich soil. Soil that is heavy and which con- . tains clay is good for sweet peas, , pansies, stocks, carnations, scab!- i osas, snapdragons and most of the popular perennials. In general, a heavy soil retain:; more moisture and is cooler than a light soil. Plants that like a heavy soil also ' like cool, moist weather. Flowers that prefer a light soil include petunia, portulaca, celosia, hollyhock, love-in-a-mist, annual phlox, calliopsis, nicotiana and all the climbers. This type of soil is good for the varieties that like warmth and do not require much water. For flower gardens that are par tially shaded, calendula, balsam, mignonette, pansy, vinca and many of the perennials are advised. The following, which require com- ■ paratively little moisture, can be ' grown well in gardens which dry out quickly: Carpet of Snow alys sum, African daisy, cosmos, petunia, portulaca, kochia, sunflower, ver bena and vinca. They will often . thrive during drouths. tn . : cl Word. “Hunk” i The member for the Buncombe dis : 'net in the congressional discussion , of the Mir. ouri Compromise (1820) | persisted in long speeches despite the boredom and-impatience of his fellow members.

Os all the colors, yellow with its tonal range is to be outstanding. This means it will be featured in uphol stery fabrics, in wallpaper, in paint and in draperies. A logical choice, yes, for it is cheery, warm and grand to live with during the dull winter months, i * I Even your new fall window shades will be in color. A tone I called chrysanthemum yellow is the newest one on the horizon. When hung at your windows it gives your rooms a rich warm glow that la extremely pleasing; then too, it seems to bring the sunshine in doors even on grey days with the result that your home is a more pleasing, hospitable place to live in. We’ve had another tip from the decorators —hang two shades al your windows they say—one so inside color harmony, the secom for outside street uniformity—and thereby save as much as 43 per cent heat. This last is a substantial item to consider when the winter snow and cold set in in earnest. Be sure your cloth shades are ng on new rollers—-of well sea ed wood—only then can you be your shades will hang straight ue, and will work smoothly ilently.
