M. Fender, Orangethorpe-ave, when Mrs. Fender Invited in several relatives and close friends to help celebrate her husband's birthday. The roses in the Fender gardens are now at their best and they effectively brightened up the home with their gay colors and sweet fragrance. The dinner was served at 12, covers being placed for Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Fender and Peaks Sisters GIVE GOOD SHOW THEN VANISH THE Peake Sisters finally reached Cypress Saturday evening, stopping in the auditorium to greet their friends from the rostrum and to entertain them with songs and recitations. Their coming had been heralded by the Cypress-Hansen Community club for two months, and there was a reception committee which required every seat in the house and many more forced to stand. It was really astonishing, although satisfactory, how many friends the Sisters found. While they were removing their bonnets and stains of travel, Mr. C. L. Barnett and Mr. O. P. Bunyard "whanged" off a few old time tunes on the guitar and the violin. The music seemed to put pep into the hearts of the girls, for they came prancing onto the stage for all the world like "lively lankins" and did their stumps to the greatest delight of all. Mrs. O. P. Bunyard seemed to be a sister to the others—and to tell the truth, all of them looked very familiar—but she introduced them under names vastly different from anyone's in the Cypress-Hansen community. Be it said to the credit of the sisters that not one of them was a flapper, if bobbed hair constitutes this specimen, although they did wear fearfully and wonderfully made complexions and cheeks. The sisterly feeling was so strong that Mrs. John E. Pitts, of Los Angeles, daughter of Mrs. C. F. Huttenlocker, consented to read two numbers to help out on the program. The younger girls of the community assisted, too, if soiling popcorn and candy thrush the audience. A cake was auctoned off after the play which brought $7.50, and the total figure of net proceeds will pass the $70 mark. The money is for the use of the Cypress-Hansen Community Club the sisters generously donating their talent and will be spent Present at the pretty rites were Mr. and Mrs. Linden Collier, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Ford, Miss Maude Little John, Miss Rebecca Coltren, Miss Betty Durke, the Mesera Harry Beal, Allen O'Cottle Frank, Blanche and Harold Collier, all of Hollywood; Miss Nell Housley, Mr. and Mrs. Carr, of Anaheim, and Mr. and Mrs. Miller, host and hostess. R. N. District Meeting Six hundred Royal Neighbors of America are expected to attend the district convention of the order in El Camino Hall, Santa Ana, all day tomorrow.

Santa Ana will put on the work the class to contain several for Anaheim lodge. Competitive drills will make an interesting and pretty event of the day, this to be open to the public. Although Anaheim will not participate the camp will send many representatives to the all day meeting. DISTRICT LEAGUE CONVENES San Diego district Epworth leagues will meet Friday, Saturday and Sunday of next week in annual convention in Orange with Anheim having its usual large signified their intention of assigning their attention of attending. The district is compoised of all the Leagues from San Diego to as far north as Whittier.

TWIN BOY DIES Alfred, the 18-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ruiz, of 215 West Santa Ana-st., died Saturday night and was buried this morning after very brief services at the W. S. Huddle Funeral home. The baby was one of twin boys born April 1. ON BIRTHDAY FEAST and fun was the order of the day yesterday in the homo of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Fender, Orangethorpe-ave, when Mrs. Fender invited in several relatives and close friends to help celebrate her husband's birthday. The roses in the Fender gardens are now at their best and they effectively brightened up the home with their gay colors and sweet fragrance. The dinner was served at 13, covers being placed for Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Fender and Mr. H. J. Fender, San Diego; Mr. and Mrs. Lon Harling, Riverside and Flarence, Evelyn and Howard Harling, and Mr. and Mrs. Fender, son and daughter. The beautiful birthday cake had unipityten candles, at least that is what Mr. Fender counted aloud, and it was just as good as it looked. The menu had countless other things and a happler company seldom is seen. The Fenders have lived on the ranch on Orangethorpe for 16 years and their large circle of friends from about that community join with the relatives in wishing him many more birthdays just as pleasant. The guests were loathe to leave at 8 p.m., after partaking of sandwiches and tea. West Side P-T. A. The West Side Parent-Teacher Assn will meet tomorrow at 3 p.m., in Intermediate school, which it hoped every member will attend. Mrs. J. V. Kelsey, Garden Grove, will be the speaker. Special music will be on the program. The most economical little salesman is a Class Ad in this paper. Canadian National Railways Now Furnish Radio Programs To Passengers On Their Trains, From Nine Stations Of Their Own EXPERIMENTS now being carried out by the Canadian National Railways promise to prove great value in the development of apparatus which will carry a definite warning of the approach of trains in front or in the rear of a moving or stationary train. This railroad has long maintained a system of radio entertainment for passengers, broadcasted from the company's own nine stations, and it was noted that receiving sets aboard train gave off a peculiar humming sound on the approach of other trains, and that experience has led to a series of research experiments for the purpose of obtaining practical results from this discovery. To Develop Radio Signals It was an official of the system who strengthened that Mrs. John E. Pitts, of Los Angeles, daughter of Mrs. C.F. Huntlecker, consented to read two numbers to help out on the programme. The younger girls on the community assisted too, in selling popcorn and candy through the audience. A cake was auctioned off after the play which brought $7,50, and the total figure of net proceeds will pass that $76 mark. The money is for the use of the Cypress-Hanson Community Club—the sisters generously donating their talent, and be spent in buying chairs and other conveniences for the new clubhouse. Cypress would galdly claim the sisters as its own, but they seemed to vanish after the show and not trace of their whereabouts was learned Sunday morning. At Oklahoma Picnic Mrs. W. S. Huddle was among the large picnic crowd passing Sunday in Sycamore Grove park. It was the occasion of the annual summer Oklahoma reunion and Mrs. Huddle met many friends from her former home state. Ms. and Mrs. Charles Barr were also of the jolly crowd. COUNTY RESERVES All Orange-co Girl Reserves are invited to a banquet and social evening to be held tomorrow evening in the Anheim high school beginning at 6 o'clock. As considerable friendly rivalry is anticipated it is expected there will be large delegations from all the triangles. This is the first event of the kind in the county and is creating much interest. Railroads have accomplished a great deal pioneer work in radio, experimentation is being carried out by its radio department under direction of W.H.Swift, Jr., far back as October 30, 1902,a successful wireless test was conducted by means of which signals sent from a station were received on board train running at the rate of six miles an hour.The signals were sent from St.Dominique,a main west of Montreal on the main to Toronto and Chicago,and was received on a special train which was carrying members of the American Association of General Passenger Ticket Agents That particular periment was brought to success der direction of Sir Ernest Erford,famous scientist,the proxior of physics at McGill UniversityMontreal. It was years afterward,however TWIN BOY DIES Alfred, the 18-months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ruiz, of 215 West Santa Ana-st., died Saturday night and was buried this morning after very brief services at the W. S. Huddle Funeral home. The baby was one of twin boys born April 1. The other baby, Albert, is also in a discouraging condition of health. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Brewster, of Huntington Beach, passed the weekend in motoring about San Diego, Tijuana, Coronado, and interesting points enroute. A. J. Bridgewater, of Escondido, was the guest over the weekend of his cousin, Mrs. A. Chapman and family. They enjoyed a motor trip yesterday to points of interest in the community. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Myers and family enjoyed a drive in Trabuco canyon yesterday. They found man wild flowers in bloom and the children brought home-pretty bouquets. Mrs. C. E. Harbeson and children were weekend visitors in Batbog at their beach home. Mrs. Harriet K. Boyd is anticipating a visit from her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Welcome M. Ward and little son, of Santa Paula, who are motoring to various points during Mr. Ward's vacation. They will probably arrive Wednesday, having planned to spend the time prior in Riverside and other interesting places. Departures over U. P.: T. S. Nicholson, Ames, Ia.; and Mrs. N. Hampton, Salt Lake City. Mr. and Mrs. Guy F. Perkins and wife of Anaheim office of the Standard Oil Co., went to Sar Di-ero over the weekend, bringing back with them Mrs. Perking sister, Mrs. J. E. Row and baby who are spending a few days with the Perkins. At the sanitarium: W. T. Bell, Circleville, O. To Develop Radio Signals It was an official of the system who first noticed the unusual behavior of the receiving set when another train drew near. He succeeded in tuning the apparatus so that on the approach of a train in either direction it "will fairly yell," to quote his own words. In checking up similar experiences, it was soon discovered that the receiving sets were affected by approaching trains using electrical headlights, and it is now the purpose of the radio engineers to perfect a device that will carry such a warning signal to the driver of an engine. The yane of such apparatus placed on a station were received on board train running at the rate of six miles an hour. The signals were sent from St. Dominique, a state west of Montreal-on the main road to Toronto and Chicago, and received on a special train which carried members of the American Association of General Passenger Ticket Agents. That particular periment was brought to success derer the direction of Sir Ernest Rutherford, famous scientist, then professor of physics at McGill University Montreal. It was years afterward, however before there was a definite application of the principles then shown be practical. The war stirred the ventive genius of men in every country, and peace brought thoughts new applications. In 1920, during progress of the Canadian National Exhibition, at Toronto, a special constation of radio telephony staged for the benefit of newspapers, the first ever given in the minion.

First Radio Program On Train But it was an event in the summer of 1923 that definitely led to the establishment of radio as a part of this railroad's service. A party organized by a Brooklyn newspaper were on their way across Canada on a special train. Since the members were influential citizens of New York and New Jersey, it was decided to attempt, as a novelty, to broadcast a message of welcome to Canada as their train left Montreal. A receiving set was installed in the observation car, and W. D. Robb, vice-president of the railroad, delivered the address into the microphone. The experiment was successful beyond all anticipation, and in that moment the radio service of this railway system came into being. Radio Train Service A Success A group of radio engineers was organized, and they, in collaboration with Robb, planned and carried out the necessary program of development. Provision was made for broadcasting trains were equipped with receiving sets, and on New Year's Eve, 1923, radio train service became an established fact with a broadcast program from Montreal, the speakers being Sir Henry W. Thornton, chairman and president of the system, and S. J. Hungerford, J. E. Daltryple, and W. D. Robb, vice-presidents. This broadcasting service was gradually extended until today there is a chain of nine stations stretching across Canada from Moncton, New Brunswick, the most easterly, to Calgary, in Alberta, the most westerly. With in a short time a tent stall will be added at Vancouver so that no spot in the Dualalon will be neglected. The reach of the service. All of these stations arrived early equipped with the latest and the ones at Ottawa, Moncton, CNRA, rank with most on the American continent, CNRC, has achieved for distant reception, ticularly effective in remote Pacific.

A special trans-atlantic broadcast from this station, designed solely for Great Britain, was made the first week in February and was received in every part of the British Isle. One important feature that needed remedy was found in the fact that each of these stations was forced to take different call letters, none of which related to the Railway. It was learned that the call CNR, embodying the initials of the Canadian National Railways, had been assigned to Morocco. It required the co-operation of the Canadian government, the British Foreign Office, and the French government to persuade Morocco to relinquish these call letters. To these letters was added a fourth to designate the location of the particular studio. Thus Montreal is CNRM and Winni- the method of placing the antenna benefit of passengers. the reach of the service. Besides the stations referred to, others are now in operation at Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Whimilpeg, Regina, Saskatoon, and Edmonton. Radio Stations All of these stations are thoroughly equipped with the latest apparatus and the ones at Ottawa, CNRO and Moncton, CNRA, rank with the foremost on the American continent. Calgary, CNRC, has achieved a reputation for distant reception, being particularly effective in remote parts of the Pacific. Reports have come in from listeners to the Calgary station in New Zealand, the Fiji Islands, and Apia, in Samoa. The Ottawa station has been heard throughout the United States and in Mexico, Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Moncton has already bridged the Atlantic, having been heard many times in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

In the case of Moncton, it was necessary to avoid a conflict with the call letters of Montreal, and the station was designated CNRA, the "A" symbolizing the Atlantic region, of which that city is the headquarters. Radio Proven Worth Radio found still another use in railroad work recently when a surveying party was sent out toward the Peace River country in Alberta. This party kept in regular communication with the construction engineers at headquarters by radio, thus effecting a valuable economy in time and work. By ordinary means it would have taken two weeks for a message to reach the party in the field, several hundred miles north-west of Edmonton. Programs There is a definite policy maintained in the radio service of this railroad. While programs must contain a fair proportion of entertainment, that feature has not been allowed to predominate. Educational matter and news chronicles are given special considerations so as to keep those aboard train in touch with the happenings of the day. The radio service has also enabled the obtaining of a greater degree of personal touch between the executive officials and the employees at large. The Canadian National Lines serve the nine provinces of Canada and possess a mileage approximating 23,000 miles, the largest of North America and of the British Empire. There are 110,000 employees and the difficulty of maintaining communication over such distances and with such a large force is obvious. In order then, to address the entire staff at intervals, Sir Henry W. Thornton, K.B.E., president, and other officials have used the radio to great advantage. But the greatest result from the system is yet to come. If a practical device can be put into operation to warn engineers of the approach of a train on the same track, any remote possibility of collision will be avoided and numerous lives saved. Even with the best regulated systems some opportunity will always present itself for a disastrous train wreck of this sort. Radio has proved in timable value in saving the lives of those on shipboard, and if it can contribute to the greater safety of railroad travel, it will rise to great heights.
