in the home is reflected in them by
unprecedented refusal to recognize
authority and a tendency to become

"In this school we always have
had boys who were pickpockets,
gamblers, gangsters or truants. But
this year we have a new type-the
boy who thinks he can do just what
he pleases when he pleases.
"The effect of radical propaganda
upon the boys at home has been the
most startling phenomenon. A short
time ago received letters from two
officers in Siberia containing pleas for

the mother made a half-frightened

Last spring, when for two months
penny lunches were temporarily
discontinued, Miss Jones and her

troll the children at noon. Fighting,
bad games and immoral practices
became so rife that in desperation
the teachers themselves cooked and
served the MONDAY lunches.
AS one possible explanation of
the cause of this years increase in
revolt against authority among her
boys, Miss Jones remarked that
about so per cent of them were Of
Russian extraction and largely from
homes where both parents are away

still need to be made before any of
these things come to pass, but what
has been accomplished already JUS
titles the predictions that have been
made"
When the Lackawanna began its
trials with wireless communication
some doubt existed as to the pos
sibility of using the rails fo1
grounding the electrical current.
A ground wire was easy to place at
every wireless station, but "hook.
ing up" a moving train in the same
way was a different thing. So the
scheme was adopted of sending the
ground current to the rails, and il
worked with entire success.
Another early problem was
whether using the electrical current
supplied by the dynamos on the
trains would not dim the lights in
the coaches, but this, too, was solved
without interfering with the com
fort of passengers.
In the days before the war high
aerials were considered necessary
for the sending of messages, but
this, it has since been demonstrated,
was mistake. Now the transmits.
sion waves can be sent with equal
facility from low equipment, and
the obstacles to communication
caused by tunnels and low bridges
have therefore been overcome.
"In time" said Mr.. Graf, you
probably will see signals set by
wireless, just as they are now by
electricity travelling through wires"
The handling of freight trains
will be greatly facilitated by the
use Of wireless, the Lackawanna
engineer said. At present a
through freight train must make
many stops between its starting
point and destination in order to
receive orders concerning right of
way and the cutting OUT Of cars.
These stops are not only expensive,
but occasion delays which, in many
cases, are not necessary.
Elimination Of the unnecessary
stops by the employment of wireless
telegraph or the wireless telephone
will, it is explained, result in more
economy in operation as we'll as in
reduction Of delays. Railroad Off
Gals know that each time a train
is stopped and started again there
is certain amount of additional
strain on the drawbacks and equip
ment, which will be avoided under
the new system.

tied the conductor, a man named
Simrell, discovered three tramps
riding on the tank Of the locomo-
tive, where they were hidden from
the sight Of the fireman and the
engine driver. AS test of the ap-
paratus he instructed the wireless
operator on the train to send a
message to Binghamton, about
thirty miles away, telling the divi-
sion agent Of the presence of the
tramps.
The agent was on hand when the
I train arrived at Binghamton and
took the three tramps into custody.
Che men were greatly surprised
when told of the means employed
to capture them, but, it is supposed,
consoled themselves with the rehcc-
ton that they were the first of their
kind to be caught in just that way.
The first train order by wireless
was sent on the Lackawanna sys-
tenn on October 29, 1918, from
Scranton to Binghamton, and
marked the first time in the history
Of railroading that such thing was
accomplished.
"The equipment to be installed
when the road is returned probably
will be similar to that in use before
the war;" said Mr.. Graf. "Before
the war the apparatus was in the
forward part Of the train. On top
Of each car was an aerial consisting
Of a quadrangular closed loop, sup
ported at each corner by insulators

car. The aerial was raised only

100 per cent. In the subways in
New York and in the Hudson tubes
the train dispatcher sits in room
and keeps in touch with the move
ment of trains by flashing lights.
When two trains get dangerously
close to each other he can send a
signal which will cause one of them
to stop.
"The same thing, in my opinion,
can be done by wireless. The dis
patcher can sit in front of board,
on which the location Of each train
will be shown by wireless telegraph.
If he sees trains getting too close
together for safety he can send a
wireless message, which will stop
one of them anywhere, out in the
country, miles from a regular tele-
graph station.

four coaches were thus equipped,
the connection between them being
made by plug and a socket, the
arrangement being flexible so as to
accommodate itself to the move

the roof Of each car was about
sixty-five feet long and was COM
posed of twisted bronze wires.

The Lackawanna proved years

ing purposes was entirely practical

lar wire communications were cut
off by storms by handling train or

they had been handled on the land
lines. On one occasion such a
storm had crippled wire communica-
ton for radius Of about 200 miles

When the United States entered
the war the Lackawanna had made
much progress in the use Of wire
less telephones and telegraph in
connection with the operation of its
trains. Towers for the transmits
sion of ethereal waves had been
erected at Buffalo, Binghamton, Ho-
noken and Scranton. Two fast
trains had been equipped with an
tenns for the receipt and transmits
sion OF messages-telephonic and
radiographic-and great manv
communications had been sent with
entire success, the officials said.
Trains We're Equipped
Soon afterward the government
found it necessary, for war pur-
poses, to prohibit all private use Of
wireless, and the antennas on the
towers and trains were dismantled
and nothing further was done to
complete the experiments. Earlv
last November the ban on private
wireless operation was lifted, and
since then the Lackawanna and. it.
Is reported, some of the other bio
roads have been making preparations
to resume the trials.
In the case of the Lackawanra
the antenn@ on the towers have
been replaced, and as soon as the
road is returned they will also be
restored on the trains.
Wonderful strides in wireless
communication were made in the
war, and we hope to be able to
benefit by some Of this" Mr.. Graf
said. Before the road was taken
over by the Administration we
found no difficulty in talking from
Ia moving train to a fixed station.
We found it equally easy to send
wireless messages or radiograms.
"By taking advantage of what
was learned in the war VIC can now.
l am convinced, install wireless tele-
phones and communicate between
moving trains. Before the war we
. did regular commercial business
in wireless telegraph, but whereas
the maximum distance for messages
was about forty miles then it will
he about 400 miles at least now.
That is to say, / believe message
will be sent that distance from NOV
ing trains to fixed station, and
conversation over the wireless tele-
phone will be carried on for half
that distance, at least"
AS an illustration of the value OF
| wireless installation on trains Mr..
/ Graf cited several incidents which
took place before the war. During
a test the conductor of train
equipped with transmission appa-
ratus became i'll when the train was
thirty miles east of Scranton. In
stead of stopping at the first STA
ton and sending telegram for a
relief conductor to take charge at
Scranton, David Sarnoff, inspector
in charge Of the apparatus ON the
train, sent a radio to that city ask
ing that a man be assigned to re-
place the i'll man, and although the
train was going fifty miles an hour
the message was easily received at
its destination. On another occa-
sion a wireless was sent ahead ask
ing that another coach be added
when the train arrived at Scranton,
end this also went through without
trouble.
Soon after the installation had
been made on the Lackawanna Linn

necessary connections could be made
from the trains through the regular
telephone centrals in the towns.
