TALKED DISTANCE $500 MILES
Without Aid of Wire-Voice Trans
mission is Wonderful.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Long dist
anCe wireless telephone communica-
ton was accomplished for the first
time to-day when experiments, eX-
tending over several months, culmi-
mated in successful transmission Of
the human voice by radio from Ar
lington, Va, 10 Mare Island, Cal,
$500 miles away.
The experiments were conducted
under direction of Capt. Bullard,
chief Of the navy's radio service, in
cooperation with the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company and
the Western Electric Company. Sec
retary Daniels, announcing the re-
suit tonight, predicted that fur
ther development of wireless tele-
phony would make great changes in
long distance communication, both
for military and naval service and
commercial usage.
Successful operation Of device
for automatically transferring to the
! radio telephone conversations origi-
! mating on wire circuits also was ac-
| complished. President T. n. Vail
and other officials of the American
| Telephone and Telegraph Company
| at New York, talked easily with the
! Mare Island station, the conversa-
| ton travelling over an ordinary me-
tallic line from New York to Arling-
! ton and thence by radio across the
| continent.
! THE fact that the voices can be
started on a land wire and automati-
cally transmitted to voice radio
| transmitter," said Secretary DAN
icls, "holds out hope that persons in
land should readily be put in touch
! by telephone with others at sea
through some central transmitting
station"
The Navy Departments formal
announcement follows:
"Secretary Daniels is pleased to
announce the successful outcome of
experiments which have been carried
on for the last few months by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company and Western Electric Com
pany in cooperation with radio sta

Only in Packages in Florida.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 30.-At mid
night tonight the Davis package law
went into effect throughout the State.
Under its provisions saloons will not
be allowed to serve patrons at the
bar, the law prohibiting any drinking
on the premises. Only sealed pack
ages will be sold, Of not less than
half pint quantity. A number of
bar-rooms in this city closed to-
night, not to reopen unless the test
case being brought before the Su-
preme Court to test the constitution
ality of the act should set aside the
law. This test case is brought on the
claim that an act designed to be reg
ulatory is in effect prohibitory: also
that it is uncOnstitut tional owing to
the fact that all of the ground cover
ed in the act is not specified in the
title Of the bill, which was passed at
the 1915 session Of the Legislature.
Hotel bars are affected JUS the
same as saloons. There is some ques-
ton as to whether clubs, which sell
only to members, will be allowed to
operate. The law provides that sa-
looms must close from p. m. to 7

McLAURIN TO NEW YORK.
Presumably to Consider Matters i'll
Cotton Situation.

COlumDla, sept. 3O.-SenalOr JOnn
l.. MCLaurin has been called to New
York, presumably for a conference on
the cotton situation. 1t will be re-
membered that in August he suggest
ed in q letter to President Wilson
that the allies be extended a credit
for the purchase Of supplies in this
country. Senator McLaurin said he
had reason to believe that the Ger
mans were buying cotton here; that
it was Uncomfortable that a nation so
far-sighted would permit England to
munition of war. Even if peace were
declared tomorrow and England had
the surplus cotton, she could compel
the continent to buy it at large
profit. 1T would be a singular con-
dition, when we remember the situa-
ton last fall, to see foreign govern
ments competing in our markets for
cotton.
Asked what made him say Germany
was buying cotton, he said, "Well l
think it better not to say too much; ;
business people don't want their af-
fairs paraded in the newspapers
1t is magnificent the way the farm
ers are holding. The present advance
is due to cheap money. Low prices in
the fall have come heretofore from
the contraction of credit. This is the
first time that we have had extension
Of credit just when needed, at the
crop marketing period.
Direct Sales.
Col. ThaCkston said that Gin the
development Of the State warehouse
system we have just reached the re-
ally Zig thing in it-drect sales Of
cotton from the farm TO the con-
Sumer. This means a stable price
for cotton and standardization Of
grades. The commissioner has done
q great work in providing negotiable
security which enables the gradual
mark citing of the crop, but, after all,
borrowing money on cotton is a mere
temporary eXpedient; the main thing
is to sell advantageouSly. We do not
grow cotton to warehouse; we grow
it to sell.
My plans at present have not been
formulated, and | prefer to say moth
ing until after more mature deibera-
ton and a more thorough acquaint-
ance with the plans of the Federal
government. ! will say, however
that the result can only be achieved
by the cooperation Of the individual
farmers. The organization of the
farmers for marketing purposes is
the foundation. I believe that the
success in securing credits at this
unusual time for the advance of cot
ton prices at the marketing period
is such lesson that the farmers oi
the South are prepared now to &C
further. 1t inspires them with con
fidence. and teaches them the value
Of combined effort.
"There is no reason why, with the
machinery which Mr.. McLaurin ha:
perfected, to wit, the State ware
house system, that the farmers O
this State cannot organize and con
troll absolutely the sale Of this year:
cotton crop"

not be extinguished and then there will

Ignition occurs in strange WAYS:
