HONOR SHOULD BE AMERICAS
Washington Man Really Was the FIRST
to Demonstrate Possibilities Of
Wireless Telegraphy.

A dentist living In Washington. ID.
c.. invented. patented and demon
strated wireless telegraphy before
Marconi was born. Had II not been
for the attitude Of big newspapers and
the stubbornness and lack OF vision Of
congress, this country today would be
enjoying the honor. distinction and
credit OF presenting wireless telegra-
ply TO the world. The name of this
comparatively unknown inventive gen.
lus is Mahlon LoOmis. Back In the
sixties and seventies he eked out a
modest living by plugging molars- and
making "store" teeth for the politi-
clans and social leaders Of Washing
ton. Doctor Loomis called his discov-
cry "nerial telegraphy." His first pub
lie demonstration was made I'm 1866
from the two peaks Of the Blue Ridge
mountains la Virginia. some IS miles
apart. From each peak an ordinary
kite was elevated, connected with an
insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end TO telegraphing appa-
ratus. The operators of each party
were provided with telescopes, with
which they could sight from one sta
tion 10 the other and read the signals.
When all was In readiness message
was sent by the doctor along the wire
OF his kite, and was received at the
station OH the other mountain top just
as though the two kites had been con-
nected with wire In the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
were kept up until the fact was thor
oughly demonstrated that telegraphlng
could be done as readily without as
with connecting wires.

WILL. IMPROVE
It's SERVICE
STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
PLANS ON IMPROVING IT'S
LABORATORY SERVICE

Lansing, Sept. Increased labor
atory service for physicians through
out Michigan, thus aiding in the con-
troll Of disease, will be made possible
October /, when the bureau of labor
atories of the state department Of
health moves into its quarters on the
top floor Of the new state office
building.
With 1852 specimens examined
during the fiscal year ending July /,
the bureau Of laboratories averaged
81 specimens to every physician in
the state though the practice Of many
doctors is of such a nature that It
does not require laboratory diagnosis.
Last year S1,GlS tests were made, an
average Of - to every physician,
compared to total of 3S,706 for the
preceding ytar and an average of o
to each physician.
Throat swab examinations showed
the largest increase during 1920-21,
diagnoses for dphthcria numbering
57,565, compared to 23,056 year ago.
Every phase of laboratory procedure,
according TO the annual report, re-
veals like increases with the excep-
ton OF gonococci smears which de-
creased after disqualification at state
expense was discontinued. The upper
peninsula laboratory, located at Han
cock, ran 1000 specimens a year ago
while this year II completed 8,054
"Michigan's new laboratories will
not be surpassed in equipment and
scientific convenences by any state
laboratories in the country" declares
DR.. X. NJ. DIN, commissioner of
health. Besides being fitted to give
physicians more adequate service it
VIII now be possible to carry on
scientific research which will event
ually save thousands Of dollars and
lives for the people of the state"

FIRE STATUS.
Reduction in Personnel Urged
New Equipment Needed
Many Arguments Are Given

By Special Correspondent.
SOUTH ANBOY. Jan. 15-At a
recent meeting of the common coun-
ell the chief OF the fire department
made a recommendation that there
be a reduction of SO per cent. in the
personnel of the fire. department
This recommendation has met with
much approval and a great deal of
disapproval. Excellent arguments
have been advanced on both sides.
That the present condition of the
fire department Is outrageous is ad-
mitted on every hand. Not that the
men of the companies are to blame.
Practically every member of hve
companies Is anxious to see things
cleaned up" There Is a great deal
of dead wood" in some companies.

wires.

one can tell, but everyone is anxious
to see the matter settled. In his
annual message the mayor recon-
mends hat a committee from each
