CABLE AND RADIO
APPARATUS MADE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-That a
number of messages may be sent
over submarine cables simultaneous
" through the use Of alternating
current, and that the trunks OF
growing trees may be utilized at
times in the place of sending and
receiving antenna for radio appa-
ratus, was disclosed by experiments
conducted in the research labora-
tories of the army signal corps dur
ing the past year, according to the
annual report of Maj. Gen. George
o. Squier, chief signal officer 10
Secretary Baker, made public today:
Interesting experiments suggested
by Gen. Squier's recent discovery
that uninsulated conductors might
be used under water successfully also
were conducted, the report says.
Much of the report was devoted
to various phases of radio telegra-
phy, progress in which Continues to
be nothing short of phenomenal"
Gen. Squier said. with suitable APP
paratus, messages may be transmit
ted and received practically between
any two points on the surface of the
globe and the speed of this form OF
communication operates to place any
two points on the earth's surface in
practically instantaneous connec-
ton"
Difficulty was experienced during
the year in obtaining and Keeping
men for the signal corps, due to de-
mand for workmen trained along
these lines in civilian life. the report
said. Despite this. however, it was
stated, considerable progress was
made along experimental lines, radio
operators were trained and sent to
the Western aerial forest fire patrol
and the Alaskan military cable ser
vice and particularly good success
was met in developing the army's
carrier pigeon service. ..3-
Among the achievements of the
corps chronicled in the report were
the design and completion of a cav
airy radio pack set for field service
and the completion of an army OBJ
servation plane radio telegraph and
telephone set with range of 80 to
100 miles telephone and 200 to $50
miles telegraph, in addition to the
designing of large number of minor
parts calculated to improve existing
communication sets.

BILLION IN UNCOLLECTED TAXES
Treasury Expert Says Internal Revenue
Bureau not Equal to Task.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The treas
ury department estimates that more
than a billion dollars is outstanding in
unpaid taxes because of the governments
inability to audit the returns, DR.. Thomas
S. Adams of the treasury staff, testified
yesterday at hearing on taxation before
the house ways and means committee.
Because Of the complex nature of pres
ent revenue laws, DIR. Adams added, the
internal revenue bureau has been unable
to complete the checking up of tax re-
turns for 1917. He saw no immediate
hope of making the audit current with
the tax returns filed.
The task of auditing the tax returns
and of tracing evasions and other causes
of failure to pay all taxes due, DR.. Adams
said, had become so s~tupendous that the
internal revenue bureau sees no way out
at present.
The treasury representatives state
ment was made in connection with ex-
PLANTATION of his opposition to a general
sales tax. He believed that while a gem
eral sales tax would weld great returns:
tine administrative burden entailed would
be too great to carry.

Now Has Profit Sharing Plan-Nen Get
ting Highest Wages Ask Division That
VIII Give Smaller Wage Farmers Equal
Dividend With Themselves.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. l5.-The
| Golden Rule is the divine law governing
human relationships, accepted by all re-
ligions and proclaimed by all prophets
and teachers of every creed, and is the
only workable, industrial and economic
law in the universe today, according to
Arthur Nash, former minister and pres
ident of the A. Nash Clothing Manufac-
turing company, of this city who has in
jected the Golden Rule into the con-
duct of his business. Recently the 500
employees of the company, actuated by
the spirit of the Golden Rule, agreed to
surrender their jobs for a month. either
January or February, so that unem-
ployed wOrkmen in the clothing industry
could be given employment. In June
1916 the company was incorporated with
a capital stock of 100000 and Mr.. Nash
as the prime mover and principal in
weston was elected president.
In July 1919 the company moved into
more cOmmOdiOus quarters on the
| strength of a loan of $4,000 from a
/ aim AAAs "a SAAAtd liz - u
together and told them of the loan which
he said was negotiated on the basis of
his confidence in them. With the Golden
Rule proclaimed as the governing law
of the business, Mr.. Nash submitted a
profit sharing plan to the employees.
Their confidence in Nash was such that
the employees refused to accept the plan
but said that they preferred to have
their pay each week and were willing to
leave it to- the management to figure out
what they could pay in weekly wage.
Wages were thereupOn increased from
| time to time. At the end of 1919 the
company found that despite the wage in
creases and the enormous expense of NOV
ing and %equipping the new plant it had
made a net profit of $4,000 on an in
vestment of 100000.
The actual condition at that time was
that the company was paying higher
wages, selling its product for less money
and earning a larger profit than any of
its associates in business.
Mr.. Nash says that these figures were
submitted to the employees and that he
felt chagrined because it was his belief
that an unjustifable profit was made off
the labor of others. At the meeting. Mr..
Nash said hat wages would be in
creased from 10 to 20 per cent. Later
the profit sharing basis of arriving at
a just wage as the only solution of the
problem. was adopted.
BY the plan presented to them the
profits were to be divided among the help
on the basis of salaries earned, twice
a year.
The employees who earned more than
$50 a week, petitioned the company to
distribute the workers share of the pro-
fits on the basis of time worked instead
of on the basis of wages drawn. The
petition stated that this would give those
earning the smaller wage an equal divi-
dend with those making larger sums.
This meant that the cutters and the off
pressers earning from $50 to $50 a week
petitioned that the poorest paid help re-
eeiye the same dividend that they did.

AGAINST THE IRISH
Raids In Dublin Now Involve Whole
Street TO Avoid Capture Of Of
ficers by Sim Feiners.

DUBLIN, Dec. 15.-Searches for ev-
ldence against the promoters of Sim
Fein OutrageS which are conducted by
the police military authorities are among
the notable features of life in Dublin.
They usually take place in the daytime
or in the early morning hours.
In making them, the authorities had
committed some blunders. The military
motor trucks used to drive up in front
of q suspected house and stop there while
the Searchers entered the building. The
trucks were left in charge of only a few
men. This proved tempting to Sim Fein
attacks which frequently surprised those
on guard.
No risk is taken row.. The whole
street, no matter what its importance,
is cleared of all traffic for a distance on
both sides of the suspected house and the
searchers can thus do their work without
apprehension of being taken in the rear.
The fact hat Il house is raided i'm
plies no reflection on it's owners. Some
Of the most respected of Dublin Union
lists have had their premises extensively
searched. There have been several
searches in Sackyille street, Dublin's
principal thOrOughfare and the starting
point or junction of all its extensive
street car system. A raid there meant
that the street cars were held uD all
along the line and thus citizens half a
mile or more away would learn that a
raid was in progress. While the search
was going on, armored cars would dash
about and prevent entrance to the area
within the line set by the authorities.
The results indicate that the govern
ment at last is obtaining information.
An incident which indicates that the
government agents are not the only ones
who are collecting weapons under the
decree that arms must be surrendered
occurred the other day at one of Dub
Inns most fashionable clubs. There
were two old revolvers in the club room.
The police heard of them and notified the
club that they would have to be sur
rendered. A few days later two men
appeared and demanded the revolvers
which were surrendered to them. After
they had gone, the club members looked
at the receipt given for them and found it
was signed Mutt and JEFF"

The earliest ray of opening day
Delights us after slumber,
And glorious Moons nave made us
glad
More times than we can number;
But there's an hour of softer power,
A time still more inviting
The ancient, friendly, kindly hour
OF early candle lighting.
The day has passed, it's dusk at last,
And though the night is falling,
From out its shades no griffs adj
vance,
No hippoeamps appalling;
It's calm around, and every sound
Is soft and %unexciting
The playthings that were lost are

Oh! what can stand in any land
Against a day completed
A day of duties well-performed s-
And old man Satan cheated
Our tasks behind, comes peace of
The mornings fears requiting: q
The breast is calm. the heart is kind.
At early candle lighting.
Twas everywhere the hour of. prayer
Amidst these hills and valleys:
Twas then that those whose names
we love
Convened for heavenly rallies:
With what delight did Pastor Wright
Announce that Brother Whiting,
Would meet the class on Thursday
night
At early candle lighting.
The voices rang of those who sang,
BY many fireside places;
The steps in lovers lane were proof
OF happy feet and faces:
Oh! restful hour of pensive power.
None, save the sightless, Sighting;
The ancient, kindly. friendly hour a'

WHEN SHIPS HAD FIGUREHEAD
Designers Of High Degree of Skill Put
Their Best Efforts Into Their
Composition.

For many centuries. down to the be-
ginning of the nineteenth, the orna-
mentation of vessels, especially men-of-
war, was prOfuse. intricate and florid.
On the United States line-of-battle-
ship America, launched in 1882, and
presented to France, the figurehead
was female figure crowned with
laurel, representing America" The
right arm was raised, pointing upward.
On the left arm was a buckler with a
blue ground carrying IS stars. On the
stern of the ship under the cabin win
dows appeared two large figures in bas-
relief representing Tyranny" and

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been, very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jeeted is because kidney trouble is 90
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
