WASHINGTON. - improvements in
w present-day methods of baking
bread in the field for the army over
the methods of only a year or two ago
were seen in a demonstration at the
Washington barracks the other day,
before a delegation of officials from
the war department Those present
were Gen. Henry g. Sharp, commits
sary general of the United States
army; Col. David L. Brainard and Maj.
Henry G.. Cole.
One of the feats performed was the
loading of an oven, capable of doing
The cooking for a hundred and fifty sol
iiers, on a wagon in seven minutes
and three seconds. This was about
one-third OF the time which a similar
demonstration in oven packing had
consumed two years ago, according to
the officials.
No housewife or French chef could
have turned out better dinner or
whittier, brown-crusted bread than did
the cooks in the open air with their
"take-down" ovens. in the opinion of
the watchers.

of erecting the larger plants has depended to
great measure on the success of those already
working This is evidenced by the Arlington sta
ton, which is across the Potomac from Washing
ton and near the military reservation of Fort
Myer.
From Arlington the north Atlantic ocean can
be covered and the naval base at Guantanamo,
Cuba, is within it's radius, as is also San Fran
cisco. This, it Is pointed out brings the canal
zone into direct communication with Washington.
The Pacific coast will be dominated by the station
at San Francisco.
At the Brooklyn navy yard the sailors who are
to take places In the wireless of the battle
ships receive training In their work. For this
branch of the service building 800 feet long, so
feet wide and two stories high has been set apart.
The course in wireless proper takes seven weeks.
The first week is given to the study of the
theory of wireless communication and the next
week sees the pupil at a sending key studying
and practicing the continental code. Messages
are sent by an automatic transmitter.
During the seven weeks of the wireless train
ing the pupil receives instruction IN making diar
grams Of transmitting sets and aerials and tries
his hand at repairing and overhauling the various
sets in use. At the end of the seventh week IL
he is able to send and receive fifteen words
minute he is stationed at receiving booth, where
he can have actual experience. Two weeks are
allowed for review before the final examination.
Before actual wireless work is taken up by the
students each one goes through short course In
the ground work of electrical equipment. He
starts at the blacksmith shop, where he learns to
build fire properly. Then he is taught forging.
welding and tempering iron and Steel and IN
structed in the use of soldering iron. In the ma
chine shop he practices the lathe. shaper drill
press, milling machine. emery wheel and bench.
Engine work follows for the naval electrician
is expected to be competent to repair any part OF
the ships electrical equipment. Simple, COM
pound. turbine, oil and gasoline engines are taken
apart ind assembled lined up and repaired.
Valves, condensers, air and circulating pumps are
mastered. There is also three weeks instruction
in the work OF interior communication and light
ing of ship which teaches the student how to in
stall and inspect the entire electrical equipment
of batteship The authorities OF the navy yard
believe that the student is not ready to take up
the actual study of wireless communication until
he has first mastered the details Of the machinery
that makes the electrical spark possible.
While everybody knows that wireless messages
are being sent. it is not generally understood how
this is DONE

ITO strip wireless of it's technicali-
ties and boil it down to the primal
constituents is not hard" said an eU
pert who has made study Of the
theory and knows the practice. 1T
is simply transference through space
of waves of electromagnetic energy.
When wireless operator presser
a key, a spark jumps between two
pieces of metal These two pieces of
metal are connected with long wires
called antennae, that are strung on
poles called aerials The energy from
this spark is spread on these wires
and diffused in waves
'These waves have definite length,
which can be determined partly
through the power of the sending sta
ton. The station that is receiving
these is able to put itself in tune to
receive wave lengths of the nature
sent out by the sending station and
exclude Others"
Wireless relies on electromagnetic
waves as the source of its commune
cation. These waves are sometimes
called Hertzian waves and we're made
use of for the first time in 1880 by
Prof. Amos Dolbear Of Tufts college.
He applied for patent on a wireless
system that had every essential of the
plan followed today. He got his pat
ent in 1886, which was two years be-
fore DR.. Hertz's discoveries.
