Dr. 'Alfred N. Goldsmith, scient
ist and chief: broadcast engineer
of the Radio Corporation of Amer
ica, baa adranced a norel way of
rating the power of the arerage
broadcasting atatlon in the United
States in terms of Its equlralent
In humau voices. From calcula
tions and measurements in ; bis
laboratory, he Is able to arrive at
the approximate amount of power

which Is expended when one car
ries on a conversation.
"The power of the human voice.
In loud speech or song Is only
about one-millionth of a watt.") he
"says. "This incredibly tiny
amount of power is yet sufficient
to be beard by the ear for a few
hundred feet. The ear Is. there-
! tore, a most sensitive Instrument
and. In tact. Is about as sensitive
as the eye Itself, so far as the
amount of power required to give
a definite sensation Is concerned.
"But we have desired. In radio
broadcasting, to extend the scope
of the voice of man from a few
hundred feet to hundreds of "miles,
or even thousands of miles, p So
that we have to produce an .ap
proximate one-horsepower voice,
or. as it is more usually called, a
tOO-watt transmitting station. It
should be considered that this
, means that we haye to Increase
the ' power 1 of the human voice
over fifty billion times. In other
words, if everyone on earth -were
to get together and shout at once,
the voice power produced would
still tall far short of the strength
of the voice of a broadcasting
station. Is fact, the world's call
.would be only about one-thirtieth
aa strong as that of the broad
casting station. It Is little wonder.,
therefore, that broadcasting eta
tions can be heard so tar under
favorable conditions."

: STILL AT ME
No Clue to Whereabouts of
Men Who Got Away From
Prison Flax Gang
No trace of the two trusty con
victs who escaped from the .flax
gang Monday morning has as yet
teen found since the men were re
ported seen In the vicinity of Au
burn hall late Monday afternoon.
Warden A, M. Dalrymple has call
ed in all but three guards who are
still seeking the missing men and
are kept busy running down re
ports. - '. '
Only three trusties who have es
caped, including the pair which
disappeared Monday, are still at
Liberty, Warden Dalrymple said
yesterday. Both of these two were
short termers while the other who
is still at large has but 31 days to
serve. - , ; . ' .;!. 5 .
An average of 160 ; trusties Is
maintained in order to continue
the activities of the prison, and it
is ether take a chance on the men.
who have nil signed special trusty
pledges, or discontinue all - work,
according to j Warden Dairy in pie.
A great ninny-of the men are! kept
busy at present spreading flax and
it 'is nearly impossible to hire spe
cial gun guards to watch oyer all
of them. In addition to all but
three trusty convicts who j hve
been returned to the penitentiary,
15 or 16 of those who escaped last
summer have been returned to the
institution, j
Several of those who have! been
returned would have completed
their sentences before the present
time, but have several months yet
to do, as they have forfeited all
good time and are being hold to
the maximum of their sentences.
Warden Dalrymple cited the case
of one trusty-who escaped in Oct
ober and whose time would j have
expired in December, He was re
turned after a short "vacation"
and is still in the institution and
found himself with 10 months to
serve, j v ; ! ,

' Cy 5. W. Straus, President American Society for Thrifi
Hoarding is as .unlike true t
! thrift as a pile of iron ore is
unlike: a - powerful locomotive.
The iron ore represents potential ,
strength and power. But it must
ibe put through certain processes
of ' ; preparation and ., become
(ACTIVE before
I its usefulness " is
ixnade available.
. Hoarded wealth
lis a dead weight on
business. Between
jthe miser and the ,
spendthrift there is .
little to choose
. i w h e n they f are
j placed on the scales
tof moral and social
(valuation.
The, hoarding
iprocesses grade up
iward from the ab-
! solute miser- to those who for
ivarious reasons ; hide away por
lions of their earnings rather than
Iplace them where they will flow
(through the! regular channels of
business, j. f
( Some interesting and rather
iamazing figures were compiled
irecently in the United States
Treasury Department. These
jfigares reveal that the amount of
money which may be termed as
Jhoarded in this country amounts
to $400,000,000 There are 8,000
persons who are definitely classed
: m St A SI A S
as misers witn Jfrw.uuy.uw nia-
r
den away, in secret places.
Among our f oreign population,
a treasury official estimates that
orac two million feoard $235,-
i .. . . i -i
000,000 of their earnings! In
rural districts, especially vhere
banking facilities are inadequate,
there is much hoarding. This is
shown by . the fact ' that when a
' bank is started in a rural locality
' i - 1 - m i . l 't
wncre no uanK cxisica ueiorc,
personal deposits
made up largely
from hoarded sums
at . once begin to
make their appear
ance. About
j $125,000,000 it is
I officially estimated
! is hoarded in rural
I communities.
I One of the great
i benefits which
j come r from thrift
j education -lies - in
j the fact that peo-
! Die are made to see
'how mere! hoarding of money
is not thrift :
Real thrift is the elimination
of waste. !And within this defi-,
nition hoarding must be consid
ered wasteful because the indi
vidual loses the rightful income
from his savings and business in
general loses the j benefits -, that
should come from these additions
to the legitimate j channels of
trade and investment. '
It is well to understand that
when the saving of money is car
ried to the point j of keeping il
continually out " of circulation
such habits come very far from
being within the rightful mean

Insane Patient Defendant
In Suit for Damages
Damages to the extent of $7".0ft
are sought from Nora Mollis, in
mate! of the slate Insane asylum,
for the killing of Eva ltradly in
Portland last April in an action
brought in tho . circuit court . by
Ray Hradly, administrator of the
estate of the deceased.
Mrs. .JJradly i nietj her death at
the hands of . Miss Ilollis when
the latter became violently in
sane.! Her insanity was said to
have developed out of a religious
fanaticism. She 'sought to get her
theorii-s before the public by gain
ing prominence through killing
her landlady, Mrs. Ilradly., She
reported her deed to the police
and was committed ito the asylum
as insaiie. It is said that she still
justifies her net as Justified by
the ! religious end which she
sought.
We believe , in strict discipline
