iowAN IMPROVES WIRELESS
Former Fort Dodge Resident Discov-
ers That High ToWere kre Need
less for Wireless Messages.

Fort Dodge.-San Francisco papers
are announcing the discovery BY Rob-
ert Woolverton, federal wireless ex-
pert, that the immense high towers
are no longer needed in wireless.
Why the middle west is more than
ordinarily interested Hn the an,
nouncement is that Mr.. Woolverton
is an Iowa product, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. r. Woolverton of Fort Dodge.
The western papers proclaim that
Mr.. Woolverton's invention Is the
most wonderful since the invention
of wireless by Marconi. 1t will revo-
lutionize the wireless business be-
cause it will do away with the expens-
sive high towers heretofore thought
necessary for transmitting messages.
This part of the equipment was ex-
tremely expensive as well as the
cause Of much trouble because 1t
caught static currents. The discoy-
cry will also affect the new wireless
telephone industry.

STATE SCHOOL FUND
Nearly Half Million More Than
Appropriation for Last Year
INCREASE IN TUITION FEES
State Educational Institutions Valued
At Nearly Ten Million Dollars
To Be Increased During This
Year About Half Million.

Des Moines.-The three state edu-
cational institutions will have s2.s29.-
AIS for operating expenses and new
buildings for the year 1876, an in
crease of s447,675 over the previous
year, according to a report issued by
the state board of education.
On July l., 1915, the value of prop
erty at the state university at Iowa
City, the state college at Ames and
the State Teachers college at Cedar
Falls was nearly sI0,0O0,00O. To that
amount $4,000 will be added dur
ing the coming year in the shape Of
new buildings.
Although the institutions will have
nearly half million dollars additions
revenue for the year 1876, the
amount provides only for the expan-
sion OF the colleges.
The legislature allowed increased
appropriations tor support OF the edu-
cational institutions, but it cut down
the grants for new buildings. The
state college support fund was in
creased from sS05,400 to $780, 900;
state university from $594,70O to
$766, 800; teachers college from $685.
$50 to s293,300 The total support for
the three institutions in 1914-'15 was
S1,625,250. II has been increased to
S2,0S9,S00 for 1876.
The state university shows a big
increase in tuition fees this year. Re-
ceipts from this source in 19l+15
were $4,000. For 1856 the fees nus
far are 100000. The teachers col
lege tuition fees this year have in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000. Fees
for the state college remain $4,000.
The most of the increased revenue
for the present fiscal year goes for
collegiate support. The authorized in
crease in expenditures are: State
college, from $4,000 to s505,000;
state university, from S454,700 to $780,
coo; teachers college from $130,750
to $141,750.
Ames is given an increase from $751;
500 to $4,000 for the short courses
and is allowed $4,000 for summer
sessions. The state university Is
granted $4,000 for summer courses.
1t had none in previous years.
The report shows the value Of the
property as follows: State college at
Ames, s4,160,OO0; state university at
Iowa City, S4,29S.00e: teachers col
lege. $1,205,000. The total is s9,663,00O.

For those who like wide embroid-
cries some new flouncings have been
made In which the patterns are fine
and pretty and both the material and
the work durable. Here is one of
them showing a fiouncing with the
surface not too much covered with
embroidery, and lacelike but strong
border salong the scalloped edge. It
is woven with a wide beading along
the straight edge, set between rows
of hemstitching which is made by ma
chinery in the top Of the fiouncing.
Beadings play an essential part in
the construction of edgings. fiounc-
ings and Insertions Even the least
expensive underwear is designed with
reference to lingerie ribbons. which
add much to its attractiveness. Since
the lightweight muslins have come in
to general use for underwear, many
garments are cut on the simplest lines
and adjusted to the figure by means
of ribbon run through beading. This
simplifies both making and launder-
ing.
Many of the new founcings have
a dotted surface with a small dainty
embroidered pattern along the we'll
finished scalloped edge. They are, In
better taste than the large patterns in

mand. too, for narrow durable laces

Claim DAMAGE To War Horses.

Shenandoah.--Too rough treatment
before the horses reached the battle
fields is alleged as the cause of a
suit for $4,000 damages that Oyiatt
& Gibson, horse buyers, have brought
against an express company.
The animals were shipped by ex-
press to Buffalo, Y. Y, to be sold to
buyers for the European countries
looking for cavalry horses. That the
shipment was delayed, the car in
poor condition, and the animals mis-.
treated, are some Of the allegations
made In the suit.

NORWAY.


The Norwegian steamer Dram
mensfjord arrived from Sandefjord
and reported having been chased by
German submarine in the North sea
between Bergen and Kirkwall. Cap
tain Stensmark said he escaped by
driving his vessel at full speed and
sending wireless calls which brought
British patrols. The submarine gave
up the chase.
Women are now voting on an equal
fty with men for the first time in Nor
wegian general elections. There are
10000 new electors on the rolls. Press
forecasts predict the women's vote
will bring large gains to the socialist
representation in the storthing. max
ing that the strongest single party,
although the government expects to
maintain itself by combination Of
three political groups. The social
list platform is devoted largely to an
antimilitary propaganda. The gov.
eminent program includes q grain
monopolyl old age pensions and re-
strictions OF almost prohibitive char
acter on the sale OF alcohol In liquor.
The Norwegian storthing unanimously
agreed on June IL, 1913, to extend fe-
male suffrage so that all Norwegian
women would have the right to vote
at national elections without regard
to the amount of their income tax.
A bill passed in 1907 granted the wom-
en- OF Norway the franchise to the
extent that those who paid their taxes
for the year preceding, or those whose
husbands had paid for them, we're
qualified to vote at any election. This
enactment added about 100000 to the
electorate.
There Is no rising hum of war talk
In Norway. II not actually tabooed,
conversation about the war is at least
in bad form. From Norway the war
seems to have receded to remote
distance and whatever disturbance
she feels is expressed In a lower key.
People in this country are most inter-
ested In internal politics. They are
discussing the development of Nor
ways water power. the question of
national defense, the liberal and con-
sentative parties and the election.
New shipyards are to be built at
Jarlso, near Tonsberg, for the con-
,struction of ships of displacement of
5000 tons or more. Most of the ships
of this size owned by Norwegians were
formerly built abroad, especially in
] England. The country has been pay
ing about 100000 year to foreign
shipbuilders, while the receipts Of
the Norwegian shipyards have been
only about $3.000,00G a year. The
capital stock of the new company is
$4,000.
During the first part OF the summer
the drought seemed to cripple the
crops beyond recovery in the eastern
part of the country, especially in the
highlands north of Lake Mjosen. Now
a different story is tole from this part
of the country. A report from Lille
hammer lated September says: I'VE
have perfect summer weather nova
days. The grain is ripening and is
being cut under the most favorable
circumstances. The prospects are
far better than was thought possible
some time ago. Everything points to
- little more than average crops.
There will be at least as much grain
as last year, little less hay, but more
straw. The frost has done no dam
age. It seems as II Gaustad. the
Dovre region, and the Lillehammer
country will get bumper crops Of
grain and hay"
