EXTRA A reporter for a newspaper had been served with home-brew. On the same day he received for publication a wedding an- nouncement and a notice of an auction sale. In the evening paper the result was as follows:- A beautiful wedding took place at Pineville, at 12 o'clock sharp, on a bob- sled, nearly new, drawn by a pair of beautiful white calves. Music was given by a Gibson engine, guaranteed to go when in working order. The newly mar- ried couple were accompanied by two first grade milk cows, aged. The parish was decorated beautifully with chains, hay- forks, ropes and other articles too numer- ous to mention. Among those present were a pair of mongrel dogs, a pair of Persian cats and a hay-loader. After the newly weds were sold, they left on an extended wedding trip to China on two good bay mares with terms to suit pur- chasers. -G.S. A passenger asked a colioured train porter what time the train left for a certain city. The porter told her the right time. However, the lady was not satisfield and asked a white porter the same question, only to receive the same answer. When the lady had gone, the coloured porter walked up to the white one rather masterfully and said, Well, l suppose she's satisfied now, she got it in black and white. E :, :k :ic Marie Margaret Helen Marian Ball took a parcel to the postal wicket to be weighed. Clerk- If it would have weighed one gram more, it would have cost another 10c. Marie Margaret Helen Ball- Thank goodness I didn't sign my full name. H4233 Perfect description of Coyston, Tucker and Tremaine:-Two hams and an egg. 22123123 Henderson- What time is it? Stoakley- Time to shut up. We are under the impression that Lit- tle and Stoakley are going to open'up a 5th Ave. beauty parlour, but wanted to practise on themselves first. They ap- peared at school with frizzed hair and light hearts. It was a sight never to be forgotten. C. IC Forrn News The pen is mightier than the sword And personal jokes should be abhorred.

I'd like to race the swallows Up in the clouds on high, And listen to the humming of the motor Gerry. 102 as it roars, Away above the tree tops Where the great eagle soars.. Swifter than an arrow I would speed up in the clouds, And hide myself above them, Far from the staring crowds. Yes, I'd like to be a bird man, The proud eagle to outflyg And be the wind's companion In its playground in the sky. -Gerry Sch eider. n C. 1C SPECULA JOKES A. Wilson- How many controls on your radio? B. Mills- Three, my mother, dad and brother. Happy man- Shay waiter, find my hat. Waiter- It's on your head, sir. H.M.- Don't bot'her, then, I'll look for it myself.

i .EAER2gri'n, 5 PE Mildred Musselman facting as clerki- What can I do for you, Madam? Edythe Willard- Do you serve nuts here ? Mildred M.- We serve everybody. What do you want? Miss Williamson- Tell us something about Abraham Lincoln. Edythe Weber-- He was born in a log cabin which he helped his father build. PARATU5 Miss Ruddick- Who was it that laughed then ? Elsie Vingoe- Please Miss Ruddick, it was me, I was laughing up my sleeve and there was a hole in the elbow. P32321 If these jokes will not make you laugh put them in the stove and listen to them roar. -Gerry Schneider. f i ff llvl Hear ye not the hum of mighty working The Modern Aeroplane HE ae1'oplane of to-day is probably the most refined engineering structure of the time, and to the average per- son the principles of construction may appear to be very complicated. These, however, are not exactly new. A bridge builder thoroughly understands all the methods of bracing used. But a bridge, of course, is not required to be able to do a loop or dive through the air, and the strength required may be more easily calculated. If in an aeroplane the parts were made too strong and heavy, it would end up by being commer- cially impractical, and, if too light, would be very unsafe to operate, and therefore aeronautical engineers have to figure just the right proportion of strength to weight. Practically the machine has to be so designed that the load likely to be im- posed during flight is distributed evenly along the structure, and that where there is probably not much force acting on a certain spot, this must be made lighter than where a heavy load is applied, to keep the factor of safety the same in both places. Structural failure in an aeroplane is al- most unheard of to-day, and for a ship to lose a Wing after it has flown a consider- able time is not an indication of bad en- gineering, but of dreadful negligence in the maintenance of the craft. -H. Zinn, T 3. The Development of Television ELEVISION has made great strides during the past year. The early Tel- evision receivers used Scanning Discs of different sizes, whereas the present day receiver uses a Scanning Drum, which results in a more compact outfit. A Neon lamp is used to project the picture onto a ground glass screen in the following man- ner:- A magnifying lens at the back of the screen serves to enlarge the picture suffic- iently to be seen by four to eight people at a time, the Television signals are broadcast on a 'short' wave length so as 104 not to interfere with Broadcast stations as it requires a fairly broad wave band. To use a Television Receiver the Re- ceiver is first tuned in with the switch at the 'sound' position till the note is heard at its loudest, it is then switched over to the 'picture' position and the picture is framed by varying the speed of the motor. Television experimentation first began in July, 1925, when C. Francis Jenkins, who had experimented in Motion Picture projection, first sent Television pictures from his experimental station, W3XK, at Washington, D.C. -L OW 1
