Improved Conditions
for Farmers Reported
Washington, May 10. Farm op
erations, hindered for many weeks
by wet and cold weather, made bet
ter progress in almost all agricul
tural sections of the country during
the week ending yesterday, the
weather bureau reported in its week
ly weather and croo review.
Winter wheat continued to make
satisfactory advances generally and
was much helped by showers. Con
ditions were favorable for field work
and germination in the spring wneat
belt, with the result that seeding
has- been mostly completed.
Oats . acreage ' was reported as
considerably .decreased because ot
unfavorable conditions for seeding.
Preparation of corn ground, the
bureau reports, made steady progress
in most northern . and eastern sec
tions, although there was further de
lay because of heavy rains in the
Ohio valley and the southwest.

with which she consoled herself,
"bome day the pain will go, and

it was a shock to her to find
letter lying wailing for her in the
nan. ana to recogiue jtetta dtacejr i
writing.
She felt cold at the opened it and
read tht lew penciled lines.
"I'm writing in a great hurry.'
Netta wrote. "My dear, I've had an
awiui time since we saw you a Ion
night ago. Pat has been most dread
fully ill, and still i; but I can't tell

Elizabeth went round at Mrt. Sll
cum the following morning before
iNetta was up. .
bha foreot what Netta niiiiht

she would not have cared. Koyston
was ill that was enough for her.

Mrs. bilcum exclaimed loud I v
when she saw her: "Law. miss!
What is the matter? But I'm that
glad to see you.
l here is nothing the matter,'
blizabeth said hurriedly. "I want
to tee Miss Stacey, that's all. Can 1
go up?" She" passed Mrs. Silcum
without waiting for a reply, then.
remembering turned and looked back
at her with a wavering smile; "I'm
glad to see you. too." she said. "V
come down and talk to you in
minute."
She flew ur the stairs to Ketta's
bedroom and knocked twice before
a sleepy voice bade her enter. But
when she opened the door Netta was
apparently fast asleep again.
Eliiabfth bent over, and touched
her shoulder.
"Netta I"
Netta sat up with a violent start
She looked pale and ill, and her eyes
were heavy from want of sleep. She
stared tor a moment; then laughed.
"You I Heavens I Is anything the
matter?" she asked.
"I got your letter, and I came in
stead of writing. Netta is he is
he very ill?"
Netta was fully awake now. She
flung her rough hair back from her
face and looked at Elizabeth with ac
cusing eyes, l hen she said abruptly
"What s it matter to you if he is?
"Nothing at least you wrote and
asked to see me,' so I came," Eliza
beth answered incoherently, hardly
knowing what she said. She was
very pale and her. lips quivered.
He is ill. very ill, Netta said
sharply. "They say he ought to
have an operation but he won't hear
of it says he can t fford it, and
stuff like that. They've patcheM
him up for the time being, but the
doctor says he'll get ill again if he
goes on dancing." She flung the bed
clothes back, and slipped to the floor
with an impatient movement. J. ve
overslept; here, talk to me while I
get dressed.'!
She began brushing her hair, ana
Elizabeth sat on the side of the bed
watching her dumbly. At last
Where is he? she asked taintly. ,
,"In his rooms. Of course. Where
on you think he is?" was Netta's
tan retort, "in a Park Lane nursing
home?" Her voice was bitterly sar
castic; she began tearing ruthlessly
at the tangles in her hair.. "He'd have
dted if it hadn t been for me, though
I say it, she went on with suppressed
savagery. "There was nobody but
his landlady woman to do a thing
for him, and she was no good. His
wife never went near him hateful
beast; I loathe herl She wrung every
shilling: out of htm, and now she
doesn't care what becomes of him."
She looked Elizabeth full in the eyes.
I m wondering if you re the same,'
she said deliberately.
Elizabeth gave a stifled cry and
soransr to her feet.
f If I'm the samel What do you
mean? she asked shrilly. .
What I say," Netta reiterated.
Pat loves you no, he didn't tell
me, she added with a mirthless
laugh, as Elizabeth would have
spoken. "I just found it out for my.
self. He loves you, and he's never
been the same man since you went
to the Senestis woman. He's never
said a word about you to me, but I
saw that day down at the inn, when
you were with farmer. lm not
such a fool but that I can understand."

Radio to Displace
Cable, Says Expert
Constant Interference Will
Make Wireless Unfit for
Phone Communication.
Will radio displace the telephone?
ibis is a question of a great deal
cf debate and is most frequently
answerahU in the negative, accord-
mg to I'rol. r. B. Urown, instructor
at ueorge Washington university.
Because of constant interference, it
would be out of the question to even
try to handle phon calls by radio,
stated Prof. Brown. However, he
tiaiea mat he believed there would
never be another cable laid to join
foreign countries In communication,
because of the certainty that wire.
less will soon supplant that means of
communication.
Radio Education.
"The field calls for radio engi
neers," declared Prof. Brown, "and
it is annarent that if the develonmtnt
of the art progresses as rapidly in
the next six months as it has hereto
fore it is doubtful whether the de
mand for these specialists can be met.
The designing of the apparatus and
the actual work of the installation
is a most vital consideration for
targe stations, as the equipment and
connections must be as nearly per
fect as possible." '
It is the belief of Prof. Brown that
oniversities throuehout the country
will establish special courses in radio.
SPARKS
If the very best is desired in a set
that employs variable condensers for
tuning, get condensers that have ver
niers built in. These are two-plate
condensers, mounted directly on the
main shaft and controlled by a sepa-1
rale arm. Rough adjustments are
made on the bis condensers, and
very fine regulation is made with the
verniers. The latter, before being
touched, should be kept in half way.
so that adjustments can be made
either way, as necessary.
Too much emphasis can not be
laid on the importance or the neces
sity of the right value of the grid
leak. If it is not correct the set will
howl unmercifully. Do not buy grid
condensers with the leaks already
built in. Buy a separate g;id con
denser, and either make or buy a
leak that can be varied easily, such
as the pencil-line type. If the set
does howl, try rubbing out some of
the lines, and if the set doesn't work
the way you think it should, try rub
bing some more on.

ADTEBTI8EMENT.
Hairs Will Vanish
After This Treatment
" (Toilet Helps)
You can keep your arms, neck or
face free from hair or fuzz by the
occasional use of plain delatone and
in using it you need have no fear of
marring or injuring the skin. A
thick paste is made by mixing some
of the powdered delatone with water.
Then spread on the hairs and after2
cr 3 minutes rub off, wash the skin
and all traces of hair have vanished.
Be careful, however, to get real dela
