LOCAL DENTIST GETS WIRELESS MESSAGES FROM ATLANTIC
In a test made last night by the Western Electric Company of New York City, radio signals were transmitted from the experimental station of that company, in New York City, call letters "2XB," on a wave length of 450 meters, unusually short for long distance transportation. These signals were what are known as continuous wave signals, produced by apparatus of recent development, and were of very low power.
At 10:25 o'clock, at the station of Dr. J. E. Waters, located at West Orange, these signals were heard quite distinctly, and part of the message copied. Interference by the high-power radio station at San Diego made it impossible to get the entire text.
Receiver is in Tree
This was done with the receiving antennae lying in a tree, due to the 100-foot mast usually supporting it having been blown down in the recent windstorm.
A report of the reception of these signals is being forwarded to the Western Electric company as requested in the broadcast message sent out by them. At least one other amateur station in Southern California is reporting the reception of the test signals, that of Lawrence Mott of Avalon.
Dr. Walters who is an Anaheim dentist, has had wide experience with wireless telegraphy. He was at one time an operator in the employ of the Marconi company. During the war he served in the United States navy as a wireless operator. He now communicates frequently with stations on the Atlantic coast.
Dance by Wireless Jazz
Asked today about the wireless music being sent out from Los Angeles, Dr. Waters said that these musicians furnish dance music for his home but that there is entirely too much jazz about it. He is of the opinion that the time will not come when the wireless instrument will replace the phonograph in the home or wireless.
Mystery of Ancient Violins Is Exploded
It has long been suspected that the master makers of violins in Italy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries knew of some remarkable gum which they employed in making varnish for their instruments.
A member of the Chemical Society in London, who has carefully investigated the subject, concludes, after showing that the varnishes exercise a decided influence over the tone of a violin, that Stradivarius and other famous makers probably used only such familiar things as turpentine, linseed oil and resin rather than some mystical gum. The resin was exidized with nitric acid. It is doubted whether the popular idea that age is advantageous rather than detrimental to a violin is well founded.
Disappearing Shops Planned For Theaters
In building a new theater in Auckland, New Zealand, disappearing shops for the building front are being seriously considered. The idea is to lower each shop into a well at night, thus making their roofs part of the floor of the theater vestibule. The building site has already been purchased.
In Paris the surplus of women is greatest between the ages of 20 and 29.

Asked today about the wireless music being sent out from Los Angeles, Dr. Waters said that these musicians furnish dance music for his home but that there is entirely too much jazz about it. He is of the opinion that the time will not come when the wireless instrument will replace the phonograph in the home as wireless causes too much interference and he believes that the government will not permit it to be used generally.
PROGRESSIVE RANCHERS
ARRANGE FIELD MEET
During the past two months field meetings of ranchers have been of almost daily occurrence in the northern part of the state, and similar field meets are to be held by the ranchers of the district.
Leading ranching communities, realizing that they have individual problems which they must solve for themselves, have formed community field gatherings, where the most practical tillage methods for that particular locality have been studied and decided upon.
The Northern ranchers have accomplished definite progress by making a study of their problems in a practical manner. Methods for increasing land production are being worked out; the ranchers are adding profits by better tillage of the lower soils, a method available to every farmer who has the proper power and implements.
At the field meet, to be held at Fullerton on the W. M. Nnepp Ranch, Spadra Road and Orangethorpe Drive, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec 17 the ranchers will see a special operation of the Holt Mfg.'s new small size caterpillar tractor. Not enough machines of this new model were completed in time to take part in the tractor demonstration at the late San Fernando Valley Fair, and some of the ranchers and orchardists who were disappointed at not seeing this revolutionizing tractor at work, have arranged for the firms that are represented in the "Better Farming Tours" to spend the two days with the ranchers of this district.
These firms include the Holt Mfg. Co., the Killefer Mfg. Co. and the Dixon & Griswold Co. The new Holt one-man caterpillar tractor can be operated at a nominal expense of fuel and lubrication. It is an entirely new design that has been built to meet the peculiar requirements of the California rancher and orchardist.
This is the first season for the small Holt caterpillar, and it already has engaged the favorable attention of many progressive ranchers who are seeking economy in operation, coupled Friday night, December 16, Perry's Paramount Players from Rutherford's will furnish the music at a dance to hold in Pressel's Hall. Art Rowland and Miss Louise Williams will offer the biggest attraction of the evening when they give an exhibition of the season's latest steps including the "Toddle and Double Shuffle."
