Transatlantic Wire
less Tests to- Begin
TOday-Everyone Set

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 6--Amateur
wireless stations in each state and in
practically every city Of the country
are ready today for the first extern
sive trans Atlantic wireless tests
ever planned. These will begin to-
morrow at p. M. Eastern Standard
time, and close Dec. 16.
In all, between $4,000 and 10000
stations will transmit during the
tests, whSlh will be under the auspi-
ces of the American Radio Relay
League. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 stations will '1isten-in."
To date there is no authentic rec
ord Of an amateur STATEN having
been heard across the ocean but it is
predicted by Major e. H. Armstrong.
former chief of the U. S. Army radio
research division. who is cooperating
with the amateurs in the tests, that
fully twelve stations Will be heard on
the other side.
Hiram Percy Maxim Of Hartford,
Conn, president of the Radio League,
believes if the experiment Is success
full it will mean that amateur COM
munication between this country and
Europe will become matter of every
day occurrence, and that the non
commercial operator in any part Of
this country or Canada can forward
messages to friends across the ocean
at will
Paul Cooley, well known wireless
inventor, who five years ago perfect
ed the regencrative receiver for anna
teur use, is now in England, cooper
ating with 500 British stations which
will attempt to catch the messages
from America.
Mr. Cooley is acting as the repre-
sentative of the Radio League over
seas, and will be in touch with anna
tours in France and Holland, as we'll
as with those in England. One re-
ceiving station he took with him has
been installed near London, another
in the north Of Scotland.
Stations at Hartford, where ma
tional headquarters Of the League are
located. at Brooklyn, N. Y, Savan-
nah, Ga, Cleveland, Chicago, ST.
Louis. Denver, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and Roswell, n. NJ. are
among those considered most likely
to meet with success.

in this town. After Rev. Frank w.
Sanford was committed to the At

was sold in order to secure money to
keep the colony going. Many of
these farms were purchased by
former Shilohitcs. During the last
year or two the colony has rapidly
dwindled and today only a handful of
the faithful remain. Mr.. Sanford is
in Boston or vicinity, and Mr.. Hol-

GREATER PART OF
HORSES IN u. S.
NOW ON FARMS

Chicago, Dec. 6-Data compiled by
the Horse Association OF America In
dictates that there are more thar
100000 horses and mules in the
United States, seventeen millions oil
which are on farms and more than
100000 in cities, according to the
annual report Of Wayne Dinsmore
Secretary of the Association. made
here before the annual meeting OF
the Association recently.
In speaking of the value Of horses
and mules as compared with automo-
bile trucks, Mr.. Dinsmore said:
"As a result Of studies. other sur
veys made, and definite statements
with cost figures furnished to us by
firms who own and use 81 LIT head
OF horses, we are now in position to
say positively that on hauls WITHIN
horses working radius. /. e., the dis
lance a team can travel in a day,
horses furnish more economical serv-
ice than motorized equipment.
"On local delivery work, from
store to store or house to house, the
evidence is Overwhelmingly for horse
drawn equipment. Ice companies
coal companies, groceries, bakeries,
milk companies, and all others whose
business involves frequent stops and
delivery work, agree emphatically
with the great packing companies
whose verdict is. ON all hauls under
20 miles per day, the horse is the
most economical.
i. In speaking of horses In the cities,
Mr.. Dinsmore said:
"Our Investigations in cities during
the past year show that competition
will force all cities to develop
abundant terminals and team tracks,
and this factor will inevitably lead to
increased horse use. Boston, with
many wharvcs and team tracks, has
very few hauls that arc not under
two miles for the round trip, and
Boston moves her enormous ship
ments of wool. leather. fish, vegeta-
bles, fruits. etc, at very low cost.
Seventy-flve per cent of her mer-
chandise is horse drawn, and she en-
joys the distinction of having the

To Improve Brand
of Music in Army

Washington, Dec. 6-Army music
soon will compare with that of the
best orchcstras and bands of the
country. Popular music will be sup
plemented by the classical master
pieces and a superband and orchestra
! will be created from army musicians.
| General Pershing already has or
dered the establishment here Of the
Army Music School and Walter Dam
rosch. conductor of the New York
Symphony Orchestra, has pledged
| him assistance in work of organiza :
ton. Both are determined through
| the school to elevate music in the
army
| Tho object Of the school, as out
| lined in the orders issued by General
/ Pcrehing, is to give courses of in
! struction in music, both practical and
| to student handsmen. to advanced In
| strumentalists (soloists), and to STU
! dent hand leaders, to standardize and
! perfect land music, ana to supply
| trained personnel therein to meet, as
| fully as possible, the needs Of the
| service"
| The first move to better army mu-
| sic was made by General Pershing
| soon after he took over the Office of
| Chief of STAFF. One of his first act
ions was to transfer the school from
Fort Jay, New York, to Washington
and direct that it be reorga nized as a
'super-ban1,' comparable only to
| the splendid band which was organ
| lied in France"
| Washington. Of course" he said,
| would be the only place suitable for
! its organization"
| These statements were contained
in an exchange of correspondence be-
| tween the General and Mr.. Dam
rosch. The latter first was opposed
| to the removal of the school from
| New York, believing students would
| have better advantages to hear good
music and study it in New York
! than in Washington He later re-
| in making the school all that the
General proposed. 1t was Mr.. Dam
rosch who organized the famous
'Persing's Own" at Chaumont, head
quarters of the American Expedition
SIy Forces, which won great distinc-
I'm am >ng the military bands Of the
Allied Armies and later was sent to
tour the United States during one of
the Liberty Loan campaigns.
The movement to improve music in
the Army has as its objective the ul-
innate graduation from the school of
enough men to give each regiment a
highly trained musical organization
able to compete with the best bands
and orchestras in concerts. for the
pl,blic's entertainment as well as that
Of the Army. Thus, General Perish.
ing hopes TO find another tie between
the army and the people Of the coun-
try. to give each a better and more
intimate understanding Of the other
and to blot out any impression that
the military and the citizenry must
move in different circles.
First evidences Of the success Of
the school were exhibited recently
when the students were used to wei.
come the various armament confer
ence delegations. The school band
was called upon to furnish music for
the receptions at the Union Station
and attracted attention in every in
stance by the perfection with which
it played.
