The Chronicle has never clamored for a strictly passenger service into Durham at noon. We lay no claim to knowing anything of railroading. But we do ask that an effort be made to bring the noon mail train in on time.

The railway officials, we think, learned that Durham has a complaint on the train service that has been meted out to us, especially in the delivery of our noon mail. The Durham dele- gation learned most decidedly that the running of a big railroad system is not all beer and skittles. W Returning from a trip to Palmerston last Friday, E where a round table conference was held with C. N. R. officials in an effort to secure better mail service gor Durham and community, the four local represen- tatives of the Board of Trade talked of many things. Principally, of course, the conversation dealt with the courtesy of the officials interviewed, and gradually worked its way to a discussion as to why such “get together” meetings should not be held by the resid- ents of Durham and the country surrounding. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Durham delegation Went to Palmerston with but little idea that they would get what they went after. It was a more or less pessimistic bunch. Returning, it was different. Then the discussion was in a more optimistic strain. There are times when we misjudge the other fellow for no other reason than we do not know him. We :may have misjudged the C. N. R. at times and thought it was just another octOpus whose only only thought was for dividends.

Careful studies have been made, and it has been deter- mined that certain storms will affect signals differently on diiferent wave lengths. Researchers have concluded that fairly accurate forecasts can be made ‘ of such storms, accompanied by predic- tions of the kind of radio reception to be expected within certain periods. I B. J. Grigsby, president of the Grigs- by-Gruno Company, of Chicago, testi- fied before the Senate Interstate Com- merce committee that the patent sit- uation in the radio industry was be- coming intolerate and that a combine was seeking to dominate 'the industry and create a monopoly. Dr. D. L. Hazard, assistant chief of the division of terrestial magnetism and seismology of the United States coast and geodetic survey, so announced in Washington recently. , Magnetic storms difier from rain, snow and windstorms which make themselves known physically. They rage just as terrifically, but their pres- ence is not apparent to man until he either turns on his radio or uses other devices which detect their presence. A proposal that reports of daily mag- netic disturbances be transmitted on ,short waves along with the weather ‘forecasts and seismic activities is to be made next August at the Stockholm meeting of the section of terrestial magnetism and electricity of the Inter- national Geodetic and Geophysical Society. . .
