A length ot 85 feet and an opening of 12 feet square are the measurements of the world's largest liora for broadcasting" music received by radio. This giant horn la in successful daily operation st Idorn park, a, * > public amusement resort In California. The broadcasting capacity of this huge Instrument is suAlcient to carry radio music throughout an' area of approximately 29 square miles. In addition to the general Interest In Its sheer size and amplifying range. It . Is of absorbing Importance to the . radio erpert because of the fnct that, through the use of Its electro-dynnmlc reproducer," such, true tones have been .r produced ns to eliminate what Is technically known as "distortion." ) OneJhousandfm of clear alratdha spruce lumber went Into the construction of thls>-born. ' The.engineers who built it werp confronted with dillH'ulties of design anil erection, owing to its giont" size. If is Quipped with .a lure type of radio reproducer and power amplifier. . Of., course the construction of the horn was more or less in the nature of a snectncnlar "stunt" on the linrt of the amusement, park, put the basic idea is' nevertheless impressive; . It Is Just another indication of a far-reachJrig Influence which, warrants attention. . ' " n EVEREST TOP STILL UNTROD r . - .<?

Thousand* 6t Americana who love the study of old London were, interested In tlA neujs story that the "Wor. . shlpful Company of Apothecaries," which for 800 years bos had Its shop, had let the property pass into' new hands It was stated that "almost nfcit door to Water laqe was the Black- . friar's theater^ where-Kbakeepeare and Burba ge playtd." The assumption of a head writer that "9hakQ?peare may have patronized, tiiq 'place" was lnaccurotd. Shakespeare died In 1016. -The Innd on which the shop was built was not acquired. till 1033. The' building then erected una destroyed la the great lire and rebuilt In 1786. But It Is possible that, Shakespeare did have the services of the Apothecaries somewhere, for they yvere Incorporated by James I, In 1006, ten years hefor^ Ids death, observes the Brooklyn Kugle. Clashes between, the Apothecaries and the College of l'hyslcinns, Incorporated In 1318, and the Barber She goons. Incorporated In 1340, led to the ileal decision of the house of lords In favor of tile Apothecaries In the ease of Hose vs. the College of Physicians. apottrfectfry consists not merely of compounding nml dispensing, but also In "directing and ordering the remedies employed In the treatment of diseases." Litter;-Jaws have somewhat modified this principle. But the upothecary's shop, commonly known as a "chemist's" shop In London, Is today very different from what was known' in the time of James I.' II sells a lot uf things' that are not drags. . . ! And here in America, where In magt_ of our states a druggist who advises a glveft remedy is technically gnljty of "prnctlcingmediolne without a license,*' the Oeinoral/zatidn of the trade has gone much farther. Two-thirds of the profits from the qaverage retail stand come from candles, cigars, soaps, cosmetics, soda wat6r, camera supplies, a hundred and one little luxuries. Drag as drugs puy a fine profit when they are sold, but the sales .Are small. Of course patent medicines still have* a considerable following. -It would be hard to find from Maine to California a single drug store that deals exclusively In . drags. Also there is some reason for the optimistic reflection that the batlltub and sanitary living have made fewer, drags essential to human camforC. ^ SlflWCf Opulence.
