MARCONI TELLS
OF VACUUM TESTS

As the eIectron tube, or triode
valve. or valve, as It Is now generally
called in England, is able, not only to
act as q detectof. but also to gener-
ate oscillations, 1t has supplied US
with an arrangement which is fun
damentally similar for both trans-
mitter and receiver, providing US also
by q simple and practical method
with the means for obtaining best
reception and an almost unlimited
masniicatioE OF the strength Of sig-
nails.
A result Of the introduction Of the
triode valve has been that the basic
inventions which made long distance
autobiography possible have become
more and more valuable.
It has been 30 far our practice to
use q plurality of tubes in parallel
at our long distance srsuons. High
power has been obtained in practice
up to 100 kilowatts in the antenna
by means Of number of glass tubes
in parallel. and for the present we
are standardixing units capao:e OF
supplying four kilowatts to the an
tenna. in the numbers required and
sufficient for each particular case.

bulbs working on voltages Of 10000

I am told that no insurmountable
dificulty would be encountered II It
were desired to supply 500 kilowatts
to the antenna from Q number Of
these bulbs. The life Of the bulbs
has been very materially increased
and the four-kilowatt units are ex-
pscted to have life. which, based
on great number Of tests carried
out both in the laboratory and At

MYSTERY OF MARS
SIGNALS REVEALED

Further proof has recently come to
light that GugIielmo Marconi denied
direct attempt to communicate with
Mars by radio. in spite of reports to
the contrary based on the fact that
the great inventor had picked up
wireless signals on a wave length Of
$50. 900 meters.
During mis- recent trip to this coun-
try Signor Marconi visited the lab
oratories of the General Electric Co.
in Schnectady, n. Y. where he was
told by DR.. Irving Langmuir of wave
lengths transmitted on 10000 meters
as a test conducted during radio re-
searches.

Gentleman From Mississippi" with
Tom Wise in the leading role again
stepped into popular favor with its
presentation by the Garrick Play
ers. at the Garrick Theater. last
night.
Tom Wise. the guest star of the
Garrick Players. plays the character
which he made famous with the
original company several seasons
ago. "A Gentleman From Missis-
sippi," without Tom Wise would be
like peaches without cream and his
efforts last night were greeted with
merited enthusiasm.
The story is laid In Washington.
and deals with a newlyNel elected Sen
ator from Mississippi whose one
ambition Is to have a naval base
located In his State.
Other members OF the Senate are
interested in the project. but In a
financial way. The Gentleman
From Mississippi" learns of their
scheme and succeeds in thwarting
them. A thread of romance runs
through the piece.
The play was written by Harrison
Rhodes and Tom Wise aud the lat
ter offers a sterling effort in the
portrayal of the Mississippi Sem
ator. Gus A. Forbes as Bud Haines.

vincing in his role and gave a
splendid performance.
The production serves 20 present
John Kline, as a Senator from
Pennsylvania. and Kline enacts the
role in his usual creditable man
ner, which has long established him
as a favorite- Brandon SPeters,
George Henry Trader. Denis Con-
nell and Edwin Trusheim were en-
trusted with important roles which
they enacted creditably.
Ada Meade was pleasing as Mrs.
Spangler. a young widow. and gave
her usual finished performance. A
word also must be said of Ruth
Hoffman. a newcomer to the Play
ers, who offered a pleasing per-
formance as the daughter of the
Mississippi Senator and who later
falls in love with her fathers Sec
retary Teresa Crosson and Made
line O'Brien also aided in the sue
cess of the piece.
The play is refreshing and stands
foremost in the offerings Of the
summer season.

Navy Awaits Ratihcation.

The navy is not waiting for rati-
fication altogether, however, but has
already taken steps to release 40
900 of the men called up for serv-
ice during 1919 and 1920. whose
terms have not as yet expired. while
the number of employees at the
various naval stations and dock
yards is being reduced steadily.
Under an imperial decree, issued a
week ago, men whose terms Of
service would ordinarily expire on
November 80, 1928, are to be dis
missed on November 80 of this
year, while those whose, terms ex-
pire In November, 1924. may be re-
leased at any time after next Mo-
vomber, thus reducing their terms
from four years with the colors to
two.
1t Is expected that. while battle
ship construction must stop under
the naval holiday plan. there will
be increased activity shown In the
building program for the smaller

STEEL MARKET SAQUIET WEEK;
 OUTLOOK BETTER
By Associated Pres.

New York, November 25-As to new business. the steel market has been quiet this week, but the announcement by ths Steel Corporation that there will be no change in prices for sheets or tin plate for delivery early next year. was expected to promote greater activity. Mills are well supplied with old orders nd produce ton was active. Pig iron was dull and inactive with few more orders from individuals.
 Copper was active. but quiet Foreign buyers showed little interest but the small orders placed have been pretty well dis tributed for shipment to French. English nd German consumers, with occasional sales to Italy and Scandinavia Domestic buyers were also conservative. but de- msnd was sufficient to sustain quotations. and while electrolytic is still said to be available around 1S.37izc, some producers were holding for 14c. Most of the large wire drawers and brass mills are saiS fo have orders which will keep them busy for the next two to four months
 Tin was easier. with indications buying has been very conservative.
 Lead, easier at the west. with demand less active, and contract shipment back ward.
 Zine declined under increased offerings and n continued lack of export inquiry.
 Autimony was quiet.
