TWO METHODS OF APPROACH.

The difference between these two
methods suggests the probability that
the problems are going to be approached
differently in the two countries. The
business Of naval invention has always
been largely one Of adaptation: of taxi
Ing things from whatever source. and
making them At into naval require
ments. A good illustration Is the wire
less telephone. Much Of experimental
ton with this device has been conducted
by this and the other naval countries; ;
1t Is known that conversations have
been conducted at distances up to 100
miles: nots 30 we'll known, but a fact.
that tho telephone sending and receiving
apparatus can easily be employed with
much Of the radio appliances now COM
monty used. Yet the wireless telephone

men here or abroad. for the very prac-
tical reason that 1t doesn't do the busi-
ness any better than wireless telegraph.
and that the latter has the important
advantage Of being easier Of adaptation
to codes. Naval communication by radio
must necessarily be in code during war
time. and to q large extent at other
times.

CAMPAIGN OF ADVER-
TlSING SUCCESSFUL

The first Portland advertising cam.
paign of the Hood River Apple associa.
tiOn is coming TO a mosI successful
closing. To date the association has
sold in Portland alone l9 cars:of one
variety of apples = the Yellow New
town. Ibis is the greatest amount of
one variety Of apple that has ever been
sold in this market and has already de-
mOnstrated TO the promoters the posi-
bilities Of increasing the consumption
of apples in the future, says the Port
land JonTnal.
The fact that il was the Yellow
NeWtown variety that broke the record
for. sales in the Portland market makes
the performance all the more wonder
ful. Red apples are favorites there and
generally in the United States. For
some reason unexplained the American
public's taste has run more to the red
fruit than to the'green or yellow.
at was wonderful showing for the
Portland market, says +. A. Clark,
selling. agent Of the association. 1T
shows the power of printers ink
coupled with good merchandise. We
are proud Of the record. We have
planned such a campaign for some time
and finally decided to try it close to
home, but the success here has shown
US that If II can be worked in Portland
II is a good plan for other sections.
In the future about 90 per cent of
the apple crop of the Hood River sec
tion will consist of Yellow NeWtowns
and for that reaosn we desired to open
up a better market at home for this
variety. The war abroad gave Us the
chance desired and we are indeed graft
fled at the success achieved.
