4 STUDY SPORTS | BCAOOL THE JUNIOR BRITISH BIGGEST LITTLE PAPER IN THE WORLD WHI THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. HUMOR. PLAY WORK | TRAINING FOR TRACK THE RUNNER In sprizt running probably the thing of greatest importance is the start. Twenty-five or thirty years ago, funners started from a standing posi- tion, but this start has practically dis- appeared and to-day the popular form of starting is from the crouch. While waiting for the 'take your marks" command, dig two small shal- low holes in the cinders near the starting line, one hole for emch foot. The holes are dug one in back of the other with the rear one slightly to one side. They are far enough apart so that the sprinter, kneeling with the toe of a shoe in each hole, is not in a cramped position, A good way to get the holes the proper distance apart is to dig the front hole first, and then kneel down with the toe of the left foot in the hole, so that the right knee comes even with the instep of the left foot. The rear hole is dug where the toe of your right foot touches the ground. When you are commanded to "take your marks," kneel with your feet in the holes, and place your hands, fingers spread, on the ground about four inches in front of your left foot. Relax your body. Allow your right knee to rest on the ground. This position 1s shown on the left side of the picture printed here. At "get set" raise your body to the position shown on the right side of the picturd, Every muscle is tense as you wait for the command to "go. At "go", bring your right leg for- ward quickly and follow with a short step with the left. Get into your © stride immediately. 80 much for the all-important start which every sprinter should master. And now for the finish of the race. In a close race, about six or eight feet from the tape, some sprinters employ what is known to some as "'the Morton finish" to get them across the because J. W. Morton, an English sprinter, used it often in winning races. When you get within the proper dis- tance of the tape, which, as I say, is six to eight feet, give yourself an extra hard shove with your right leg. Turn your trunk so that you strike the tape with the left side of the chest. This, of course, is done vice versa if your stride should leave you on your left foot when you decide to throw yourself Into the tape. It worked properly the throw will get you across the line quicker than the ordinary method of simply run- ning into the tape. Do not attempt to throw yourself too great a distance, and do not bring your feet together as you shove off, TO-DAY'S PUZZLE Concealed in each of these sentences is the name of a country.

I'm hungry, See? And stuck-up rich folks don't care if I starve." "All right," said Hugh, "but I want to go along." He gave the boy a boost, and then the boy reached over and helped him up. Once inside they set to work and hungwily devoured whatever they could lay their hands on. So absorbed were they, that they forgot to be careful, and even chuc- kled aloud in 'their enjoyment. Then they both stopped and caught their breath. Some one was coming to- ward the pantry door. They turned to the window, but they had closed it behind them because of the draft, and now it stuck stubbornly. The boy looked at Hugh, white with terror. The door opened. They stood as though some witch had turned them into stone figures "Why, Master Hugh," sald the butler. "I didn't know you were "ere. Your mother has been looking fo~ you.' The stran- ger stared at Hugh, his face wearing a bewildered but strangely softened expression. Hugh. Hug a friendly came less sul "Whatcha look for?" asked How, Why, and What Why do ducks waddle? The duck's 'egs and feet are sawim- ming organs as well as limbs for walking, so they are set well to the rear of the body. This makes the balance of the bird on land ungraceful and causes the waddling action which is peculiar to ducks. WN mem, LEE VALLEY, April 156.--Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Leon McKnight, on Monday, April 10th, a son, The spring flood has gone down some, but the water is still high on La Closhe creek. A number of farmers lost their bridges. The roads are washed out, and the river road to Webbwood is impas- sible. The mountain pass is very muddy. The bridge on one of the main roads at Drake's creek has been moved out of its usual plabe., The mailman hadito turn back and go v through to Webbwood on Mr. George Waram's new road. Clifford Root and Clifford Coburn are home. They have been working for Mr. William and Leon McKnight this winter.

JO EXPLAI NED By FE. H.LEwis INSTRUCTOR MEW YORK. Y.M.C.A. RADIO ScHooL a a -- rey CAPACITIVE REACTANCE. A direct current of electricity as from a battery or direct cur- rent dynamo will not flow in a circuit containing a condenser. This is because the dielectric is an insulator and prevents current flow. An alternating current will not actually flow through a con-: denser either, but it will appear to, since it is flowing to and fro on either side of the dfelectric. The dielectric may be compared to an ejastic partition in a pipe full of water. If a pump causes the water in the pipe to flow in one direction, then the other, the elastic partition will stretch in the alternate directions a certain distance. There will be a back pressure of the partition upon the pressure exerted by the pump, which is equal to the pump pres- sure at every instant. If the par- tition is sufficiéntly elastic, it will stretch without breaking, so that the water moves to and fro under the pressure of the pump without passing through the partition. The alternating cdrrent flows in a cir- cuit containing a condenser in a similar manner and appears to be flowing through the condenser without actually doing so. An alternating current is one whose strength periodically in- creases from zero to a maximum value and decreases to zero in "first one direction, then the other. The alternations of current are due to increases and decreases of electrical pressure in alternate directions. A condenser in the circuit is alternately charged and discharged as the current changes. The back pressure of the conden- Among the many devices avail- able for reproducing the radio concerts with large sound volume the Vocarola occupies a promi- nent place. Like many very ef- ficient devices, it is quite simple. The horn itself is of metal, shaped somewhat like an automobile horn, and has a metal screen over the large opening. The horn is with the editor by mail? She examined her nails. She read two hymns. She got some satisfac- tion out of rubbing an itching knuckle, She pillowed on her shoul- der the head of the baby who, after killing time in' the ner as his mother, was so fort as to fal] asleep; She read the introduc- tion, title-page, and acknowledgment of copyrights, in the hymnal. She tried to evolve a philosophy which would explain why Kennicott could never tie his scarf so that it would reach the top of the gap In his turn- down collar. There were no other diversions to be' found in the pew. She glanced back at the congregation. She thought that it would be amiable to bow to Mrs. Champ Perry. Her slow turning head stopped, galvanized. Across the aisle, two rows back, was a strange young man who shone among the cud-chewing citizens like a visitant from the sun--amber curls, low forehead, fine pose, chin smooth but not raw from Sabbath shaving. His lips startled her. The lips of men in Gopher Prairie are fiat in the face, straight and grudeg- ing. The stranger's mouth was arch- , the upper lip short. He wore a brown jersey coat, a delft-blue bow, a white silk shirt, white flannel trousers, He suggested the ocean beach, tennis court, anything but the sun-blistered utility of Main Street. A visitor from Min lis, here for business? No. He wasn't a busi- ness man, He was a poet. Keats was in his face, and Shelley, and Arthur Upson, whom she had once seen in Minneapolis. He was at once too sensitive and too sophisticated to touch ess as she knew it in Gopher Prairie, Wit} restrained amusement he was analyzink the noisy Mr. Zitterel. Carol was ashamed to have this spy tor"s maundering. She felt respon- - | sible for the town. She resented his gaping at their private rites. She flushed, turned away. But she con- tinued to feel his presence. oy e How could she meet him? ser upon, that of the source or electromotive force is constantly equal to the latter. If one in- creas€s and decreases the other does also, and both are in step with each other. Since'there are opposing pressures, the current will not rise and fall in step with the applied pressure, but will at- tain its maximum value in each direction BEFORE the pressure. The current is then said to "lead" the pressure. Also, since the cur- rent does not rise and fall in step with the pressure changes there must be an effective resistance caused by the condenser. This af- fective resistance does not choke back the current, but assists it. If we call the effective resistance in this case "reactance" it is seen that the reactance under consid- eration has just the opposite ef- fect of inductive reactance. We can call it "capacitive reactance." Capacitive reactance may then be used to nullify the effect of in- ductive reactance in an alternat- ing current circuit. In the case of inductive reactance an increase of reactance means a decrease of current, providing the applled pressure remains econstant. An increase of capacitive reactance, however, causes an increase of current under the same condi- tions. Capacitive reactance dkcreases with an increase of either con- denser capacity or frequency. The converse is also true--that is that capacitive reactance fin. creases with a decrease of either condenser capacity or frequency. Compare this with variation of in- ductive reactance.

The horn does not, of course, give the blasts of sound that an au. tomobile horn does. Instead, a very interesting telephone receiver is connected to the small end 80 that the strains of music or the words of the speeches are repro- duced and sent through the horn to the listeners without distortion. This telephone receiver has a cor- rugated diaphragm of metal, which accounts for the agreaable lack of distortion, at least in some measure. It is very ruggedly con- structed and will not get out of order as quickly as a delicate mechanism. And yet it puts out sound in large Yolume. The Vocarola is connected to a one or, preferably, a two stage amplifier by means of a cord and plug in the usual manner. The cord is sufficiently long to allow of placing the horn at some little distance from the radio set. With it the whole family and the eve- ning guests as well may be ene tertained. If the user is not lo- cated too far away from the broadcasting station the volume of sound will be Jarge enough to provide fér dancing in a large sized room, Will readers interested In these radio articles kindly communicate a a MAIN STREET The Story of Carol Kennicott By SINCLAIR LEWIS must!

She pictured, and ridiculed, herself as walking up 'to Mm and remarking, "I am sick with the Village Virus. Will you please tell me what people are saying and playing in New York?" She pictured, and groaned over, the expression of Kennlcott if she should say, "Why wouldn't it be reasonable for you, my soul, to ask that complete stranger in the brown jersey coat to come to supper to- night?" ' She brooded, not looking back. She warned herself that she was probably exaggerating; that no young man from the Great World bear the pas- could have all these exalted qualities, Wasnt he too obviously smart, too glossy-new? Like a movie actor. Probably he was a traweling sales- man who sang tenor and fancied him- self in imitations of Newport clothes and spoke of "the swellest business proposition that ever came down the pike." In a panic she peered at him. No!
