Germans Using Radio for Newspaper
Messages; Find 1t Speedier, Cheaper,
And Removes Load from Land Wires

BERLIN, Dec. 27.-An innovation
in wireless news transmission.
which might perhaps be advan-
tageously copied in the United
States, has passed the trial stage
in Germany and is regularly being
used by the government telegraph
service. namely, the simultaneous
transmission of news agency press
messages from one central station
to the newspapers in various cities
subscribing to the agency service.
Instead of loading the land wires
in all directions with messages of
identical text, each message requir-
ing the time of separate operator
and occupying the line for just that
time, the news material of the press
agencies is now flashed out in all
directions by a single telegrapher
and picked up by stations located
in the principal cities.
Three of the leading press
agencies now are utilizing this
service, the messages being trans
mitted by special apparatus from
the main telegraph Office in Berlin
to the sender of the big wireless
station at Koenigsweusterhau
near Berlin, and aired" immedi-
atefy. Special receiving stations
are provided for this new press

Whirlwind Finish
Begun by Cupid in
1920 Campaign

Cupid got a flying start yester-
Gay in his campaign to shoot as
many arrows as possible before
January /, 1921.
He hit the mark 5s times yester-
day, and the government is just
sss richer as a result of that many
marriage licenses being issued.
Only four more days remain for
bashful swains to be hooked by dar-
ing maids before Leap Year draws
its last breath next Friday night.
Col William A. Kroll, who issues
the licenses, announced yesterday
that no man who has been drawn in
the meshes of matrimony by a de-
signing woman-who wants a home
and a husband-will be allowed to
put up any argument or fight whffe
the license Is being issued. He must
stand still while the preliminary
ceremony is going on.

EDWARD w. GOSNELL.

IND you ever wonder. as you
saw truckloads of mail sacks
scoot from mail trains around
the platforms of Union Station, how
the particular letter addressed to
you gets away from the thousands
of others in the mess?
Machines have been invented to
do much of the handling of mail, but
there is yet to come the contrivance
that will displace the human mind
and the quick eye in the business of
sorting.
For this work the City Postoffice
has humber of expert distributors
who sort the bundles of letters into
channels which eventually land the
mail in the particular section of the
city to which 1t is addressed. When
a distributor becomes an unusually
fast worker he is known as a spe-
cial clerk.
Edward w. Gosnell, of Tenth
street southeast, is one of the post
Offices speed men. Though the daily
record is not compiled, the office gets
line on the rate of handling
through frequent examinations
taken at various sub-stations.
On his last examination Gosnell
banded $50 pieces of mail in twenty
minutes, with only two errors. max
ing his efficiency mark 99.7. This is

Travelling Man
Most Divorced,
Survey Shows

II absence makes the heart grow
fonder." how would you account for
the fact that divorce statistics show
that the man who stays at home is
less likely to be divorced than the
man who travels?
Prof. Rudolph NJ. Binder. head of
the sociological department of the
New York University, who has just
grouped the divorce statistics ac-
cording to geography as well as ac-
cording to kinds of individuals,
states that one out of every nine
travelling statesmen gets divorced in
this country, while only one farmer
out of ninety-two wins that sort of
freedom.
Prof. Binder says that the West
ern States have a greater per cent
age of divorces, while north central,
south Atlantic and north Atlantic
districts follow in that order. His
investigation, he said, shows that
childless couples are divorced more
frequently than those with children.

FRIENDLY oyERTUREs.

So intent was Alison for a mo-
ment on the vision of freedom from
her in-iaws that she forgot the
fact that she and Larry were sepa-
rated beyond hope Of reconciliation.
Tardy remembrance brought a
shrug of resignation.
1t was too late to save the last

happiness! Fannie would be Of

dying"
Both Jane and Mrs. Osborne
opened their eyes wide in amaze
ment.
The latter murmured perfunctory
words Of sympathy, but Jane, the
irrepfessible. said:
How serious-going to d.

done, Is it?"
Perhaps not" was the quiet re-
ply. but my husband and / have
no unfriendly feeling toward one
another In fact. we have come
very close to adjusting our difficult
tics in the past few months"
1t was Alison's turn to stare at
her mother in amazement. She hao

ated the suggestion of such a rec

1T is hard to forget utterly, when
you once loved someone" Mrs. Ath-
erton went on softly. looking at
Alice Osborne's beautiful, impassive
face. Especially when you realize
that there perhaps were extenuat-
ing circumstances; that alien infiu-
ences brought to bear at a psyche
logical time did much toward de-
stroying your romance"
Alison turned her face away
toward the window. There was a
sorrowful resignation in her moth
er's voice which brought tears TO
her eyes.
She wondered how she would feel

The Sphinx Apple.


Now what I have to propose,
said Judge Menefee, conceding an
lndulgent smile to his interrupter,
''is this: We must remain here, per-
force, until morning. We have
wood in plenty to keep US warm.
Our next need Is to entertain our
selves as best we oan, in order that
the time shall not pass too slowly.
l propose that we place this apple
In the hands of Miss Garland. 1t is
no longer a fruit, but, as I said, a
prize, in award. representing a
great human idea Miss Garland,
herself. shall cease to be an in
dividual-but only temporarily,
am happy to add"-(a low bow, full
represent her sex; she shall be the
embodiment, the epitome of wom-
an-kind-the heart and BRAIN 1
may say, of Gods masterpiece of
creation. = In this guise she shall
judge and decide the question
which follows:
But a few minutes ago our friend,
Mr.. Rose. favored us with an en-
tertaining but fragmentary sketch
of the romance in the life of the
former possessor of this habitation
The few facts that we have learned
seem to me to open up a fascinat-
ing field for conjecture, for the
study of human hearts. for the ex-
ercise of the imagination-in short,
for storytelling. Let us make use
or the opportunity. Let each one
of US relate his own version of
the story of Redrutn, the hermit.
and his lady-love. beginning where
Mr.. Roses narrative ends-at the
parting of the lovers at the gate.
This much should be assumed and
conceded-that the young lady was
not necessarily to blame for Red
ruth's becoming a crazed and world
hating hermit. When we have done,
Miss Garland shall render the Judg-
ment of Woman. AS the Spirit of
her Sex she shall decide which ver-
sion of the story best and most
truly depicts human and love inter-
est. and most faithfully estimates
the character and acts of Redruth's
betrothed according to the feminine
view. The apple shall be bestowed
upon him who is awarded the deci-
sion. II you are all agreed, we
shall be pleased to hear the first
story from Mr.. Dinwiddie."
The last sentence captured the
windmill man. He was not one to
linger in the dumps.
That's first-rate scheme,
Judge" he said, heartily. BE a
regular short-story vaudeville,
won't it? 1 used to be correspond
ent for a paper in Springfield, and
when there wasn't any news
faxed it. Guess 1 can do my turn
all right"
