SHOWS NEW RIVAL OF x RAY.
Inventor stanley Gives DemOnstrR-
ton Before Experts.

Charles r. Stanley, an electrical en-
gineer, who for the past fifteen years
has been experimenting with the Y ray.
gave "A demonstration to newspaper men
and others last night at his Office at
1916 West Eighty-sevCnth street of what
he calls the Stanley ray.
The demonstration was mean to
prove, to quote the letter of invitation
which Mr.. Stanley sent "a the various
newspapers, that hhe Stanley ray lis
not only more powerful than the ordi-
nary y ray. but is absolutely harm
less. In the opinion OF eminent en-
perts in y ray work from one OF the
leading medical schools of the country.
AS we'll as specialists fro mManhattan
who were present. the chief impression
made upu them by the demonstration
was Mr.. stanley's fearlessness and very
evident feeling of confidence in handling
his apparatus.
The Stanley ray, its inventor main
tains, differs from the ordinary cur
rent of the y ray in the matter of
frequency, or. to put 1t in Mr.. Stan
ley's own words, 'rectihed high fire.
quency e~Xcitation.' As for microscope
demonstrations, Mr.. Stanley's ray
showed that II could do what the ordi-
nary y ray is capable of doing.

SEES CHOICE OF EVILS
IN UPBUILDING MARINE
Irving r. Bush Discusses Sub
sides and Government
Ownership.

irving T. Bush. president OF the Bush
Terminal Company. said yesterday ina
any solution of the merchant marine
problem meant a choice OF evils.
with greater first cost. higher wages
and more exacting laws" he said. we
cannot build and maintain a merchant
marine unless VI pay for 1t In some
way. There is apparently a choice OF
these courses open for us. First: DO
nothing and let the lowest bidder carry
to the worlds markets the goods we
produce. This has been our policy. and
IL we can forget our national pride ana
eliminate the dangers OF war there II
much to he said in its favor. doubt
IL We can do the first or afford the sec
ond. The choice left Is betwecn GOV
eminent ownership and Government AID
: Government ownership means ulti-
mately a Government monopoly oil
American deep sea The ne
ginning may be modest, but private
capital cannot and will not compete with
public ownership. II is a step toward
state socialism. I am neither COMBAT
ing nor advocating such a step. ] am
suggesting that We recognize just where
we are going before we start. If we
favor such q step there Is no field where
less Injustice will be lone than In our
foreign shipping. for little American
capital Is invested in 1t.
at will at least assure that some
ships will be built and operated under
the American flag.
THE third method-Government aid
to private enterprise-is not smooth sail
ing either. The people don't like sub
sides. They smell graft. While they
want ships. they wish to be certain that
nobody is feeding at the public crib
and that Uncle Sam Is getting his
moneys worth. The only subvention
plan which might be shaped to meet
these objections is n subvention by the
Government to equalize the cost OF
building here and abroad so long as a
difference existed and the cost OF oper-
ating under our or a foreign fiag-leaN-
ing to a Government body the determi-
nation OF when and how much subventlon
he paid. This will put us upon an
equality with other nations, but IT does
not guarantee that ships will Toe built.
III Uncle sam tackles the job by
direct ownership. don't let us fool our
selves as to how much 1t will cost.
Forty or fifty millions will be a flea
bite. This amount of money Will build
fifty or sixty moderate sized modern
vessels. England alone has over four
thousand in foreign trade. We want
ships. not toys. and II our merchant
marine is TO he anything hey ond a play
thing. its cost will mount up into the
hundreds of millions. and become a
great Government department hlled
with possibilities of extravaganza. po-
litical favoritism and mlsmanagement.
These may not come, hut the danger is
there"

1t was rather a discouraging situation

recession abroad producers must now
readjust their predictions as to the price
