Washington.—New investigations in-
to possibilities of the short-wave, high-
power vacuum tube give hope of pro-
ducing radio waves which will do the
family cooking, provide wireless illu-
mination for homes, reduce pain and
cure disease, according to Dr. Willis
R. Whitney, director of the General
Electric research laboratories.
Simplified mechanisms and a reduc-
tion in the cost of producing large vol-
umes of radio energy are problems
now facing solution.
With these problems disposed of,
control of the new power immediately
will open up lines of advance in indus-
try and therapeutics hitherto closed
to science, Doctor Whitney stated.
In experimenting with the tube, it
was found that by placing a wire over
a table at a distance of a few feet
from a radiating aerial, which was a
copper bar about 10 feet long, a sau-
i from the bar was soon cooked thor-
I oughly. The tube from which this pow-
er was produced was 2 feet, long and 5
inches in diameter.
Different applications of this tube
have been under investigation. For
generations heat has been known to
be useful in alleviating pain and cur-
ing some diseases. Recently medical
research has indicated that fever tem-
peratures in the human body are de-
structive to certain disease germs.
The new vacuum tube produces this
heat, causing blood temperatures to
rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in 15
minutes.
Doctor Whitney stated that as yet
the high-power, short-wave tubes are
being used for experimental purposes
: only and the task now before the in-
prac.
tical usefulness at a reasonable cost
and discover- their possibilities for
service to the world.
Mrs. Myra Oliver Dougan
Who will conduct the NEW7S COOKING SCHOOL has a select-
ed Extra Fine Bread for demonstrations in the school.
“When a town is favored with a Bakery that turns out a high
class product like Extra Fine Bread, it is my opinion that the
housewife can practice greater economy by buying her bread
from that bakery, said Mrs. Dougan.

Many Theories About
National Flag Design
There are various theories regard-
ing the origin of the design of our
national flag, and most historians do
not consider the Betsy Ross legend as
trustworthy. It is true that Washing-
ton’s family coat-of-arms contained
both stars and stripes, but these had
been used in other flags before 1776.
The Grand Union flag, the first to float
over the navy, consisted of 13 stripes,
aitematelj’ red and white, with a
union bearing the crosses of St. George
and St. Andrew, signifying the mother
country. Some historians believe that
the stripes were taken from the flag
and the.stars from the colonial banner
of Rhode Island. Others maintain
that the idea of the flag came from
the Netherlands, as Franklin and
Adams,, who were sent to that coun-
try to borrow money for aid, told the
Dutch that America had borrowed
much from them, including the ideas
represented in the flag. Another claim
is that the stars were taken from the
13-starred constellation Lyra and sig-
nified “harmony.”

■or O. F. Metz, T. D. Kimbro,
JE. J. McLeroy, Smith Sanders,
iHon. T. O. Davis and John W.
Lynch, will swing into action
[immediately on an educational
program which will have as its
objective the establishment of
a well organized and success-
ful Boy Scout council in Cen-
ter.
The appointment of this com-
mittee and the resolve to or-
ganize a Boy Scout movement
in Center grew out of a meet-
ing presided over by Hon. T. O.
Davis at which Boy Scout Ex-
ecutive Walter D. Bryan of
Marshall explained the plan to
incorporate Center into the
Last Texas Area Council which
embraces 17 counties and
lwhich now boasts a member-
ship of 1,450 boy scouts.
\ Considerable enthusiasm
marked the initial conference sage in a glass container suspended
(which is expected to develop[
into a series of pep meetings
to which a large number of loc-
al fathers and boys will be in-
vited. Center is perhaps the
largest city in the area without
a scout troop and the organiza-
tion of a sccessful unit will be
assured if the citizenship will
back the movement and help
th£ Baders put it over.

Sometimes Folding Bed
Surprised Its Occupant
One of the earliest manifestations of
a congested population in New York
was the folding bed, writes Henry Col-
lins Brown in Valentine’s Manual.
This ingenious piece of furniture was
designed to camouflage its real purpose
by assuming during the daytime vari-
ous alien shapes, such as that of a
wardrobe, desk or chiffonier. But the
only one who dwelt in a state of illu-
sion was its owner. Everybody else
knew it was a folding bed, but the
etiquette of the times forbade discus-
sion of the subject.
It was perfectly obvious that the
bookcase in the library of an over-
crowded apartment that had the ca-
pacity of Doctor Eliot’s five-foot book
shelf was a folding bed. Likewise
that the large cheval glass in front of
an apparent cupboard concealed an-
other of the genus, but these innocent
fictions were taken as a matter of
course.
There was one type of folding bed,
however, constructed with weights,
that , had a disconcerting habit when
its equilibrium was disturbed of fold-
ing up like a jackknife, to the intense
amazement of the occupant. For a
stout gentleman to find himself sud-
denly awakened and standing on his
head in bed was only a small incon-
venience compared with the imminent
danger of asphyxiation that the situa-
tion afforded.
