At any rate. it was the general opinion that no time should be lost in starting the pro- duction of plays.

I Judging by the enthusiasm shown and the lively discussion which took piper. the Guild is going to get away to a 800d start and drairiattc art is dtue for a revival in this City. Apparently. there is no lack of tai- ent and there is. now. only the need for organization to bring this talent to the fore. Hope we: ex- pressed that the Little Theatre Guild will fill this need in this City. which in recent years. wflblblf ti"! to the late war. has been singularly lacking in the development of the anuteur theatre.

The interior of the station is a strange, Buck Rogers-lsh world. where. in certain locations. ftuc-r- escent tubes or even ordinary elec- tric light liulbs will glow myster- iously, although far from contact with any of the equipment. As compared with the tubes in a radio set. weighing two or three ounces, the tubes that transform the power in the main transmitter weigh 250 pounds each and are cooled by forced streams of purl- fied airr. There are oil switches, con- trolling electric currents of 350.000 volts, which stand l8 feet high. The main aerial has insulators nine feet long and l8 inches in diameter. each tested to stand a strain of 90.000 pounds and a flash- over voltage of 350.000 volts.

Our Court: declare and apply the law for all our citizens, thus touching every department of men's lives; but more fully and intimately than in any other calling they regulate grid govern all the labors and activities of our Profession. The Profession of Law is of that arduous character, which compels in its members a constant un- remitting application and the ex- clusion of diverting interests. Therefore, the Courts, and the characters and personalities the Judges who there preside, are a great and constant influence in the every clay lives of the mem- bers of the Bar.
