fected by the order, officials said, but about six hundred would be used as counters and all others having annual leave to their credit will be given the benefit of it.
 Secretary Mellon in formal state ment said: "The statements to the effect that vast volume of duplicate bonds and other securities have been fraudulently issued and are in circula- tion are wholly without foundation. There has been no evidence developed of any such situation either in the bureau of engraving and printing or elsewhere in the treasury department"
 Following President Harding's declaration that the administration is conducting no drive on the civil service but Is driving for greater government efficiency through the civil service, 1t was learned that some influential ad- ministration leaders plan to take many of the higher paid positions out of the ironclad jurisdiction of civil service regulations.
 All positions paying $3,00O or $4,0O0 or over, positions of an administrative nature, would be placed in one group. Employees below the higher figures would be in the same position they occupy today.

 Early in 1901 telegraphic commu- nication was established between two points more than 250 miles distant and at the end of that year Marconi transmitted signals from Poldhu, in Cornwall to St. Johns, Newfoundland. In 1902 he received on board the steamship Philadelphia in the pres ence of the officers, good messages on the tape when at distance of over 1,500 miles from the transmit ting station and signals at over 2,0oO miles. In December, 1902, the station established at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, under contract with the Ca nadian government for transatlantic wireless telegraphy, was put into
 
 communication with the Cornwall sta- ton at Poldhu and inaugural messages were transmitted to the King of England, the King of Italy and fo the London Times In October. 1905, the steamship Lucania published n daily wireless bulletin from messages received from the Marconi stations. A powerful station at Clifden on the west coast of Ireland was opened early in 1907 for the establishment of commercial relations with the American continent at Glace Bay.

Marconi's work has been rec ognized by many governments anu seats of learning; he has been dec orated by the King of Italy and the late ex-Czar of Russia as ap honor ary doctor of many universities, in- clading Oxford Glasgow, Aberdeen, Liverpool and Pennsylvania, besides having received the freedom of the principal Italian cities.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
 Reflected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp. Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why 30 many applicants for insurance are re- iected is because kidney trouble is O common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.

MARCONI REALLY
 FATHER OF RADIO
Story of the Gifted Italians Work In Development of Air
 Communication.

While experiments along the line of radio really started as far back as 1927 and hundreds of scientists were Interested in solving the problems in- volved for many years, it was not un- til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo Marconi took out his first patent that the mastery of air communication got Its first great impetus. His life his tory is to all practical intents the his- tory of radio communication.
 Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, c. c. V. O., l.. l.. D., Disc. NJ. l. E. E., was born in Bologna. Italy, April 25, 1874. His mother was Irish, while his father was of a family whose mechanical ability was marked. After an edu- cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the young man interested himself in the problem of wireless telegraphy, start ing his research in 1895. He went to England and in 1896 took out the first patent ever granted for practical system of wireless telegraphy. by the use of electric waves. His early ex- periments in England were made at Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward Marconi saw w. H. Preece and at his request made some experiments for officials of the postofiice. Some further experiments were made in May, 1897, in the Bristol channel, wireless communication being estab- lished between Lavernock and Brean Down, distance of nine miles.
 On the invitation of the Italian government Marconi afterward went to Spezia where land station was erected, which was kept in constant communication with two Italian bat tleships working from a distance of 12 miles. For this success the Ital- ian government conferred upon Mar conf the honor of knighthood. After return to England further expert ments were conducted and on July 20, 1897, the first radio company was formed and two permanent stations erected. In 1898 wireless reports of yacht races in Kingston were made and proved the usefulness and adapt ability to which the system lends It.
