THE RAJDJIEQ CLUB Edited by L. DAVIS, See.-treas. New oeeasious teaeh new duties, Time makes ancient good uneouth, He must ever up and onward, who would keep abreast with Truth. Xot many pupils in the sehool, know what the Radio Club is for. Many think that a few fellows meet every other Thurs- day night, for the sole purpose of listen- ing to some dry leeture away over their heads. This is absolutely what we do not do. iVe meet to hear speakers who show the beginners how to build their lirst sets, what kind to build, and just how to do it. As well as the dope for beginners. we have plenty of good, first elass information for the more advanced amateur. If any mein- ber of the elub should have a set with some trouble. that the operator eannot locate, all he has to do is to ask his fellow members. The advaneed amateurs of the elub aim to be of all the help they can to those new to the game, and this is the best kind of help to get, beeause every amateur has been through the mill. The average amateur loves the sport that Radio aiords, and is willing to help others to graduate from the ranks of the Broadcast Listener, to that of a real ham. 'Most people think, that all Radio eon- sists of is listening to niusie from some distant eity. That is one great division, but there is still a greater one, and the greater division eonsists of the above mentioned AMATEURS. Here is where the real sport eomes in. Imagine just sit- ting before a transmitter and ealling some- body a eouple of hundred miles away- then he answers your eall and you slip him the message-the reply eomes baek saying that he got it all 1-iglit. Wouldn't that make you feel good? XVell, there is the thrill the amateur gets, when he gets the goods aeross. Wliy' don't you join in with us? It is just as good a sport as football, and the1'e is no reason whv it shonldn't be classed in with the rest of the school sports. Our Radio Club is Affiliated with the Ameriean Radio Relay League, whieh is the greatest wireless organization in the world, but we shall let 3 O Y tell it in his own words: The A. R. R. L. is a eontinent wide or- ganization of Radio men and women, bond- ed together for the Relaying of friendly nnfssages from one station to another, P0- operation in Radio experimenting, and for the proctet-tion of Amateur interest in re- lation to Government Legislation. lts lieadquarters are at Hartford, CU11' net-tieut. The secretary of the assoeiation is also tliC eilitfii' of the otiiriill A. R. R. L. inagaziiie, Q. S. T. The League supports various departments, sueh as the Operating Dept.. whit-h arranges the relay stations into various routes to fat-ilitate the relay- ing of messages in their proper direction. Another is the Teelinieal Dept., eonsisting of several experts in Radio Telephony and Telepathy, who investigate all new eir- euits and apparatus, commenting upon them in the oiiivial organ. They also give teehnical adviee to any member, who may ask for their service. In short all real Radio men belong to the A. R. R. L. Now 3 I F will tell you some seerets about the Relay Division of our Club: This year the H. C. R. C'. has enrolled all the traliie handling stations of Hamil- ton. These relay stations, namely 3 O Y, 3 H T, it D B, 3 lf' X and ii I F. will deliver messages to any plaee in North America free of eharge for persons in the sehool. Messages should be made brief as possible. Herefto-fore, Hamilton has been ealled the Vity of Living Death by 'the amateur fraternity of Canada. But these stations expeet, this year, to kill that reputation by breaking all reeords in trafiie handling, and they will do it too. llil The following are the stations doing the good work: 3 0 Y-Spenee Allan, 2113 Herkimer St. H H T4H Riehardson, 92 East Ave. N. 3 D B-Jack Bain, 65 Garfield Ave. S. 3 C X-W.

Such is the fate, explained the Shade of Xvl'I Lfil. of those unhappy ones who lived lives ntade irresponsible by the motto 'Another time will do as well.' With :t ttuztking heart, I direetetl 111y attention to om- of these :tttlivtetl erea- tures, who, kneeling on tlte ground, his hands rlaspetl in sttpplieatiott, made plea in an agottized voice: How long yet, O All-Powerful, how long' yet must we pine?

I awoke ill a t-old swe:tt. Oh, how I cursed my gluttony! And how relieved was I to find myself alive :t11d on earth once tnorol Ill tltis world there is a goodly mixture of evil aml good, of beauty aml ugliness. And it is this very evil whieh makes us esteem the good, this very uglinests whieh causes us t0 reeognize tlte ltextutifulg so, too, do We appreciate the sweet wl1e11 we taste of the hitter.

And at the same montent I formed 21 most noltlt- and exalted rt-solution.
