SAP POWER OF
WIRELESS WAVE
Experts Find Lost Energy
Is Not Due to Earth's
Attraction AS Sup
posed.

F'1inging messages through the ether
for thousands of miles by wireless
has been accomplished only by the
solution of numberless problems that
have arisen and been solved since the
early days Of the epoch-making in
vention.
One Of the battling problems Of
wireless, especially in long distance
work, has just been solved. however,
and this solution, like so many 9TH
ers in modern applied science, has
been made by experts of the Federal
Government. Electric ether waves Of
very great length are required to car
ry messages to vast distances, and in
the production of these much electri-
cal energy must be expended. Up
to a certain point the use of long
waves has contributed to the ease of
operation Of the plant, reducing re-
sistance; but there has then come an
inexp1icable change to rapidly in
creasing resistance, causing great
waste Of energy. Observers thought
they had satisfactorily proved that
this costly and wasteful absorption of
energy was due to the earth, since
certain experiments at sea had shown
very low resistance. If this were true
nothing could be done to lessen loss
es at land wireless stations.
Radio experts of the bureau of
standards were not satisfied with this
explanation and by a series Of expert
ments at. the bureau in Washington
have proved that the lost energy is
Slapped away not by the earth, but by
wooden masts usually employed to
support the sending wires and by trees
and buildings near the station. The
experts built a small system Of sending
wires or antennae with one end close
to the branches of a tree and tn 4
other end in the open, provision be-
ing made to switch off the portion of
the wires near the tree. While the
absorption on the unobstructed end
was negligible, it was enormous when
the tree end was also switched in. At
the same time it was proved the earth
did not absorb the energy by building
a miniature antennae very close to
the ground, where loss, if from that
source, would be easier.
Much interest has been taken all
over the country in the experiments of
the bureau. It is probable that the
work of the Federal experts will lead
to a considerable improvement in de-
sign of existing and future antennae
with a marked increase in wireless

DEFENDING WIFE,
IS FATALLY SHOT
BY NEGRO ROBBER

Philadelphia, March 27-Harold
Ellis Yarnall. secretary-treasurer of
the Midland Valley railroad and prom
inent socially, died early yesterday
from a bullet wound suffered while
defending his wife from the attack Of
a negro burglar at their home here
Sunday night
Mr.. and Mrs. Yarnall had just re-
turned from a day spent at their
country home at Media when Mrs.
Yarnau encountered the burglar in
their room. She grappled with him and
at the same time screamed for help.
Mr.. Yarnall who was in his bath,
rushed to his wife's assistance and
hurled the negro into the hallway.
The assailant then drew q revolver
and fired, the bullet entering Mr.
Yarnalfs groin and penetrating the
liver. Despite his fatal wound he con-
tinued to struggle with the negro and
succeeded in forcing him backward
down the stairs. After firing another
shot the burgler made his escape
through an open window. A hand bag
continuing about $10a in cash was the
extent Of his booty.
Mr.. Yarnall, who was 81 years old,
was a graduate of Haverford college
and Harvard university.

Two narrow escapes from drowning
and sensational rescues Of children
from the icy waters of the Housatonic
at Stratford enlivened the otherwise
pleasant Sunday occupation Of the
towns residents.
While watching the preparations to
put overheard a housebOat near Be-
dell's shipyards, Helen Tompson, four
years old, tripped over a bow line and
fell into the water. Her skirts buoy

swiftly moving current bore her ra-

Nearly 500 feet distant, standing
upon small dock were a dozen
youths, among whom Joseph Ken

his excitement over the predicament
Of the girl he slipped from the dock
and plunged into the river before the
outstretched hands Of his companions
could grasp him.
Kennedy, somewhat Of swimmer,
made efforts to keep himself closely
to the shore and was aided in regain
ing the dock by two other companions
who jumped into the water with a
rope.
In the meantime the Thompson girl
was floating, in an apparently dazed
condition. AS she passed a boat upon

within her skirts had almost exhaust

Powell, divesting himself of his
shoes and coat plunged into the river

Failed to Report
Hurt, Compensation
Denied Applicant

The denial Of the petition for COM

292 Wilmot avenue, one of Bridge
ports best known carpenters, alleged
to have been~injured while at work
on the Remington Arms & Amm0ni-
ton Co.'s buildings in 1915, presents
a new phase Of the Workingmen's
Compensation act that should be close
ly observed by all classes.
It teaches this lesson: Irrespective
Of personal stoicism to pain, even the
slightest pain or cuts when following
in the course Of occupation at q fac
tory or place where the employer pro-
vides free medical advice, should be
reported and attended to by the COM
pany's MEDICAL advisers, even though
1t be for the purpose Of record at
later date"
Schneidewfnd who applied for COM
pensation related to Commissioner Ed
ward T. buckingham today that he
was employed by the James Stewart
Construction Co. in October, 1915. A
small piece of planking was thrown
upon his right large toe. Though in
severe pain he did not report the mat
ter to the hospital where he had pre-
viously been treated free. In June,
1916, the toe began to swell and later
became so aggravated that surgical
treatment was resorted to. Until a.
few weeks ago he had not declared to
the company or anyone else that he
had received his injury at the time
his petition recites
Because of his failure to accept the
free medical advice against his own
opinion at the time Of alleged injury

Blumenthal Company
Sued For Failure to
Deliver Promised Dye

The scarcity of dyes and the diff
Guilty of procuring them because of
war conditions, is shown in suit
brought against the Sidney Bluemen-
thai & Co., Inc, Of Shelton, by the
Dye Exchange Corp. of New York.
In papers filed in the superior court
the New York concern asks for $1,000
damages.
It is claimed that on March s of
this year officials of the Bluementhal
Co. said thdy had 1000 pounds of a
dye known in the trade as Berlin
direct green" They were willing to
sell this at 81 pound and the plain
tiff closed the deal. Then the Dye
Exchange sold 200 pounds to a Pater-
son, N. j., company at profit and
took other orders. After that the
Bluernenthal Co. refused to deliver the
dyes, the complaint states. This caus-
ed a great financial loss to the plain
tiff. The suit is returnable to the
April term.

other "left overs for the hens, SO
that a considerable portion of their
feed consists of what otherwise would
be carried eff the place by the gar
bage man.
Although Of less Importance than
the eggs, the supply of poultry for the
table furnished by the home flock is
an item that can not be overlooked.
AS has been pointed out, in a flock of
twenty-five which the owner is perpe-
tuating, there will be approximately
twelve or thirteen cockerels, almost
all Of which can be used best for
food. Half Of the hens must go each
year also, so that allowing for losses
and for birds reserved for breeding,
there still will be enough appreciably
to affect the butchers bill.
