BROTHER AWAITED
 RELEASE IN ATLANTA

Atlanta, December 2S.-Expecta ton that Eugene V. Debs, socialist leader, would be released today from the Atlanta federal penitentiary, brought his brother. Theodore Debs; David Karster New York socialist. and others to Atlanta, but at the pen itentiary up to tonight 1t was said no official word had come, while Wash ington dispatches said the prisoner would be released Chris tmas day. Communication of his sentence, an- nounced today, will take effect then. 1t was stated.
 Debs had said some time ago that when he did leave the prison he ex- pected to go directly to his home In Terre Haute. Ind, and make his fu- ture plans there after a reunion with his family and probably some of his close friends. He was convicted in 1918 of violation of the war time es- pionage laws and was transferred to Atlanta in 1919, where he has re- mained with the exception of a trip to Washington last spring. That trip was made at the invitation of Attorney General Daugherty and Debs, having given his word to return here, made the trip alone.
 Prior to his Imprisonment Debs had lectured throughout the country between his campaigns as head of the national socialist ticket and asked recently if he intended to resume the lecture platform. he replied he might but he would not make his plans until he went home.
 As far as could be learned, no de- termination In his behalf was planned on his release here, but a group of friends, including his brother. his To- cal attorney. and others were ready to welcome him and to arrange for his trip home. Not even his brother saw him today, however, and J. F. Dyche, warden at the penitentiary. could tell him or newspaper men nothing throughout the day. and re- iterated tonight that no word had come from Washington. The order for Debs' release would come by mail if 1t followed the ordinary procedure. and 1t was expected 1t would reach Atlanta sometime late Saturday.

to the picking of the nuts before they are
ripe and to incomplete drying.
:: During the last five years many crushing
mills have been established in the Philip
pines, the Dutch East Indies, Australia and
French Oceania. Crushing where the nuts
are grown saves freight and prevents much
spoilage in storage and shipment: also. the
fresh copra yields a better quality of oil. But
there is much difficulty about containers for
the oil. Wooden barrels do not serve the
purpose well. Steel drums cost too much.
Tank steamers would serve for transporta-
ton, but the onlyaships Of that kind avail
able are those which carry Kerosene 10 the
Orient, and a kerosene flavor would lower
the market value of the coconut oil.
The cake. left over after pressing the copra
for oil, called "poonac," fetches a good price
in Europe, where great quantities CT it are
fed to dairy cattle. 1t seems to stimulate
milk secretion in the ow, and is believed to
supply fatty elements that enrich the milk.

What We Get From the C0c0nut

1MPORTS of copra, the dried "meat'' of
L the c%oconut, into the United States dur
ing the year 1921 are estimated at about
$4,000 long tons, six thousand nuts to the
ton.
Pacific archipelagoes produce 10 per cent
Of the worlds coconut crop, the Dutch East
Indies 16 per cent, the Philippine Islands Is
per cent, Ceylon and continental Asia IS per
cent, Africa 2 per cent and tropical America
. per cent.
The coconut crop fills a big place in the
worlds food supply. 1t contributes a highly
valued material for candy making, cake
making and other uses familiarJto the house
wife as well as the confectioner. Immense
quantities of copra are pressed for oil, much
of which is now utilized in the manufacture
of artificial lard.
Over $4,000, 600, 600 is invested in the in.
dustry, more than half that amount being
represented by land and groves. Neverthe-
less, it is in a very backward, state, the pro-
ducing trees, for the most part, receiving
little care or cultivation, so that they are
stifed by underground. Under such condi-
lions the average tree does not yield more
than twenty five nuts a year, whereas on
well managed plantations the output is four
times that many, and therefore comes nearer
to being profitable.
More than half the Pacific copra is of low
grade. rancid and so pervaded with favors
due to putrefaction and mold that expensive
.'renovating'' can hardly render Its available
for human consumption. The oil content is
only IS per cent Of what it should be, owing

Guiding a Vessel Through Fog.

ITO MAKE navigation safe in heavy fogs,
= to bring ships through, crooked chan
nels into harbor when the lights of light
houses are not visible--such is the object of
a wireless signal system newly invented by
Earl G. Hanson, of Los Angeles.
His idea is to employ a pair of cables,
permanently anchored to the bottom on
either side of a harbor channel or other
such water passage, but upheld by floats in
such wise that they Shall be sustained at a
depth of twenty feet or more below the sur
face.
The, cables, heavily insulated, are to be
run to a convenient point on shore, where
will be located a high frequency generator
and a low. frequency generator, operating at
frequencies sufficiently different to allow the
difference to be readily detected.
Looped along the sides of the ship will be
an insulated wire, submerged and serving
the purpose Of an antenna. The above

IMAGINE the Mortified establishment Of q
a bank, should see a strange looking and
formidable machine, cylindrical in form and
armed with huge claws, dash out of an
obscure corner and rush upon him with IN
intent Of obvious menace!
Gasping, he stands rooted to the spot.
The machine throws its clawlike arms about
him and embraces. him in d close hug, hold,
ing him helpless until officers Of the law
appear and effect his capture.
The machine here described is no mere
Pigment of the imagination. It is a con-
~trivance invented by Stanley Valinski, of
Homestead, Pa, and is called a man
catching tank, the purpose for which 1t is
designed being to grab and hold bank
robbers.
The tamil is an armored Matchbox, inside
Of which an armed Waterman is concealed
during the business hours of the bank. 1t
is provided with peep holes so that the
occupant can see what is going on outside,
and with a number of openings through
which he can thrust out a pistol. At the
top is a ventilator with shutters which
may be opened or closed by turning a knob.
The cylindrical steel box has a floor suf-
fciently elevated above it's bottom to leave
room for a small truck on four wheels,
which, operated by an electric motor, will
rapidly propel the tank, the steering of the
latter being done by the land of the man
inside gripping a handle conveniently
placed.
He enters the tank through a door on the
eido u,hSch ho an1ccoc oftov 1ip, MD ooo-,o,
with a steel latch. Then he seats himself

sure that he is following he exact middle of
the channel. If he were to get outside the
channel lhe' would have immediate warning
OF the fact, because he would hear only
one note.
The invention incidentally includes "
lamps, one green and the other red, both
OF which will show lights as long as the
ship is in the channel and between two
cables. IT she were to get out of the>chan-
mel one Of the lights would be exti4guished,
and the right and wrong directions would
be indicated by the lamp that went out. If
the green light went out it would mean that
the vessel was off her course one way /; if the
red. light, the other way.

and has nothing further to do except to keep
awake and look out from time to time
through the peep holes, unless one or more
robbers happen to drop in and start some
thing. The yentilator over his head fur
nishes him with plenty of fresh air.
Suppose the arrival of a couple of enter
prising bandits. They take no notice of the
tank, which is placed obscurely in an out
of-the-way corner, perhaps out of sight.
The robbers proceed to hold up the cashier
and the paying teller, demanding funds.
The hands Of the bank officers, of course,
promptly go up. But further proceedings
on the part of the hold-up men are quickly
interrupted.
The Waterman inside the tank, looking
through a peep hole, sees what is going on.
The first thing he does is to touch a button
which sends an electric alarm to the nearest
police station. Then he turns a switch
which starts the motor beneath the floor Of

corner toward the door of the bank steered
in the manner above described,-the object
in view being to get between the roopers
and their way of escape.
Fastened to revolving posts geared TO Two
opposite sides Of the tank are six enormous
steel claws-three, that is to say, on each
side. These are so operated from inside the
box as to be swung outward and apart, OF
inward and together with IN embracing
movement. One of the robbers, let us say,
attempts to escape through the door OF the
bank, but the machine, moving rapidly on
it's rubber tired wheels, is too quick for
him. 1t grabs him with its deadly hug anu
holds him fast.
In the meantime policemen, summoned
by the alarm, have started for the bank.
They rush in, grab the second robber, take
over the captive of the tank and the per

80 IHaaaH IlE11l''s,I,

LNOR the wireless telephone, a vacuum tube
1 that contains no ilament! A novelty in
deed. and most important to the future
prospects of conversation by radio.
1t is the invention Of DR.. Charles G..
Smith, of Medford, Mass, and it looks
rather like a giant irecracker made of glass,
with metal ends.
The standard sending tubes now used for
radio telephony are extremely pcrishable.
SO delicate is the flament contained in them
that, although theoretically expected to last
1000 hours, they do not in actual service
average more than 100 to 200 hours of con-
tinuous operation. And every time one of
them burns out it costs $50.
A wireless telephone station, to do bust
ness properly, must use a number of such
vacuum tubes. When Arlington (by the
Potomac) talked to Honolulu, a while ago,
about five hundred tubes were employed.
DR.. Smiths tube has no flament to burn
out. It is good for at least 1000 hours
operation-not theoretically merely, but in
real work.
Having nothing to burn 1t saves money.
Also, it economies electric current.
Use of a dlament sharply limits the
amount of power a tube can develop. No
stronger current can be passed through
than the flament will bear without burning
out. Thus, for the existing standard
vacuum tube the limit is fifteen -hundredths
Of an ampere at 1000 volts. Which means
that six such tubes must be used together
in order to. carry a total current of only
nine-tenths Of an ampere.
DR.. Smith has built a tube which, as a
single unit, will carry ten amperes. For
$50 he can make q one-ampere tube which
will carry more current than six tubes of
the, present standard type costing $3.50.
One way in which the Smith tube saves
electric power is by doing away with need
of power to heat a flament. The standard
tube now in use requires sixty five watts to
do this heating.
The new tube filled with %heliu1n) estab-
fishes magnetic control over the path fol-
lowed by the electrons, thereby setting up a
requisite intensity of conduction and vary
ing the cohductivity between the electrodes
with such nicely as to reflect the slightest
modulations of the human voice.
This novel invention has great possibilities
in the field of power transmission 1t
promises to provide an efficient, economical
means Of converting high voltage alternating
current into direct current (more con-
venient for transmission over long dis
~tances), and then turning it back again into

mentioned cables will be in effect antennae.
Without going into further details, it will
suffice to say that a wireless telephone con-
nected with the apparatus enables the navi-
gator to determine his distance from the
cables by the musical notes based on the
two frequenoies.
The notes will be different. As the ship
moves along between the two cables that
mark the channel, the notes heard through
the wireless telephone will be equally loud
when the vessel is in the middle. If she
tends to one side the musical note from that
side will become louder, and vice versa.
Thus the navigator has only to keep the
notes of an equal loudness in. order to be
