HAD NEW TELEGRAPHlC IDEA
German System Of Communication In
Warfare Was Something Of an
innovation Then.

During the war the scientific world
was much Interested by the report that
the German army was using method
of communication known as "teleg-
raphy through the ground" Suisse
quent investigation by the Interested
nations appeared to show that the
method was compromise between
wireless and one-wire telegraphy.
The two communication stations
were not connected by wire. A wire
was placed along the fighting front
with both ends extending into the
ground, and current from Rhum-
korff coil or kindred apparatus was
conveyed along 1t. Installed parallel
to this wire, and some distance In ad
vance of it was similar wire, In
which current was induced by the
first, thus permitting the sending OF
signals.
The method is thus broadly similar
to wireless, except that the ground
forms the medium, instead Of the
air. One would imagine, however, that
although the method has the advantage
that there are no intervening wires to
be cut, 1t would be a very simple sys-
TEN to tap.

New York,s Sanitary Districts.

New York has four square miles OF
sanitary districts with over 100000
population per square mile. The New
York city 1920 census committee, DR..
Walter Laldlow, executive secretary,
has issued the following statement:
1.-THE permanent map for the taking
and tabulatlng Of the population of
New York on which the census OF 1920
was enumerated has 3,427 sanitary dis
trlct areas. Slxty-sIx OF these In 1910
whose acreage tOtaled 1896 then had
population Of 1,29S,657, an average Of
453 persons per acre. If the whole area
Of New York In 1910 had been popu-
lated as densely as these 1866 acres
the equivalent Of the whole population
Of the United States, and then some,
as In 1910, could have been packed
within the limits of Greater New
York"
This number Of persons per acre In
cOngested districts Is now reduced to
302, the statement adds.

SYDNEY. N S., Feb. 23.-The heaviest

Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. say
seasoned mariners, because Of unusually
warm weather last summer.
During such summers say the seamen,
huge masses of ice break away from the
northern glaciers, find their way into the
Arctic current and drift south. Next
May or June "growlers' that started out
on their journey late last summer are
due off the Grand Banks and the eastern
coast of Newfoundland, and the sealing
feet Is looking for trouble.
The heaviest ice in many seasons has
been encountered this winter in waters
hereabouts. Cabot Strait, from Gran
berry Head to Newfoundland. has at
times been jammed by solid barrier
OF drift ice. In the port of North Sydney
the ice reached a thickness of one and

NAVY YARD CONVERSION
OPPOSED BY DENBY
Believes Plan Would Not Help
Unemployed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Conversion of
navy yards into Industrial plants for the
purpose of obtaining contracts from
other Government departments could be
accomplished only at the expense of prt-
vately owned factories. and, therefore,
would not be of value to the unemployed,
Secretary DENLY declared tonight In a
letter answering suggestions laid before
him recently by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor. as head of q delegation repre-
senting "furloughed," navy yard en-
ployees.
To several thousands OF these em-
ployees were given leave without pay as
a consequence of the naval agreements
reached at the Washington arms con-
ference.
''It is difficult to see," Secretary DENLY
said. "how the national unemployment
situation will be in any way alleviated
even If it Is found feasible to compete
in the open market with industrial plants
on the outside AS to this have very
serious doubt, for I know of no indus

liberalty is shown employees, thereby in

Americans should learn to play more.

Church of the Ascension, Fifth avenue
and Tenth street, declared yesterday in
his sermon on Must the Movies Coz"
The sermon was broadly a defense OF
motion pictures and wholesome entertain
ment. but DR.. Grant did not say spe-
ciflcally that the movies ought not to
go. He blamed the survival of puritani-
cal monastic doctrine for much OF the
conflict over amusements. and recOm-
mended more tolerance and a cultivation
OF play not only in the arts but in
science and other activities.
"a certain murder and sensational
happenings in connection with the photo
play world have brought on the produc-
ers of motion pictures severe criticism
Of the public" he said. THE criticism
not only affects a great business OF
popular entertainment but indirectly af-
fects even cities and whole communities.
Perhaps we may say to ourselves that
there is too little fun. too little entertain
ment, too little amusement-too little Of
these things to shut off this new. rela-

play. In Boston people were so annoyed
that they sent back those from Wollas-

Boston IL they attempted to play. In

There Is little likelihood of red re-

though the latter color has held the

for more than two years. The majority
OF dresses sold or sent to America re-
