MARC0NI 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, 1t was not un- til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo Marconi took out his first patent that the mastery of air communication got It's first great impetus. His life his- tory is to all practical iptents the his tory of radio communication.
 Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, G. c. V. O., L. L. D., Disc. M. I. E. B., was born in Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874. His mother was Irish, while his father was of 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 a 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 postofice. Some further experiments were made in May, 1897, in the Bristol channel, wireless communication being estab- lished between Lavernock and Brean Down, a distance of nine miles.
 On the invitation of the Italian government Marconf afterward went to Spezfa where a 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 kpighthood. After return to England further experi- ments were conducted and on July 20 1897, the first radio company was formed and two permanent stations erected. Tn 1898 wireless reports of yacht races in Kingston were made and proved the usefulness and adapt ability to which the system lends it.

He was employed on important military mis- sions to England by the Italian gov ernment and after this service was transferred as temporary commander in the Italian navy. Marconi visited the United States in 1917 as member of the official mission sent by Italy. In 1919 Marconi was appointed pleni- potentiary delegate to the peace conference at Paris, and in this capac- ity signed the peace treaties with Austria and Bulgaria. He was after ward awarded the Italian military cross. te

self to commercial purposes. In De cember, 1898, Marconi installed ap- paratus to provide communication be- tween the South Foreland lighthouse and a lighthouse on the south coast. Tn 1899 Marconi read a paper on "Wireless Photography" before the h. stitution of Electrical Engineers in London. t.. ..sE.
 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 h the pres ence of the officers, good messages on the tape when at a distance of over 1,500 miles from the transmit ting station and signals at over 2,OOO miles. In December, 1902, the station established at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, under contract with the Ca nadfan government for transatlantic wireless telegraphy, was put into communication with the Cornwall sta tion at Poldhu and inaugural messages were transmitted to the King of England, the King of Italy and to the London Times. Tn October, 1903, the steamship Lucania published 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.
 MT. Marconi's work has been rec ognIzed by many governments and seats of learning; he has been dec orated by the King of Italy and the late ex-Czar of Russia as an honor ary doctor of many universities, in- cluding Oxford, Glasgow. Aberdeen, Liverpool and Pennsylvania, besides having received the freedom of the principal Italian cities. In 1914 he was elected a senator in the Italian parliament. He also holds many sci- entific awards granted by various so- cieties and institutions.

CHARM IN WOMAN
Something Average Person Finds
 It Hard to Define.
Secret of Attraction is . Riddle Un- solved Apparently Since the
 Creation of the World.

The secret of the attraction of some women for men has been sought for countless ages. The riddle is as old as the Sphinx and as unsolvable. ts
 History has been made, wars won and lost, noble deeds performed, and crimes committed all for the love of woman.
 What is the secret of the attractionf
 Beauty is the first thing that springs to mind. Yet 1t needs but little rehec- tion to show that beauty Is often the last asset of the fascinating woman at whose shrine is daily offered mascu- line worship. Brnlns, cieyerness, beauty, ready wit, musical voice may be possessed in bulk or alone by woman, and yet she may leaye men cold. ,stsse
 Natures law of compensation is im- mutable, and never more clearly shows man in feminine attraction. How rare ly is statuesQue beauty accompaniet by the charm and fascination that att tracts. A woman may possess the beauty of Venus, and cause no mascu- line pulse to beat the faster. Yet her almost ugly sister, irregular of fea- ture and without physical chnrm, may be never without man to pay her court.
 Strangely enough, 1t is woman her self who lays most stress on beauty. Rarely will she admit beauty in an- other woman. "She is very attractive, she is fascinating, she has charm, but she Is not really good looking, my Jdear," they will say, not realizing that they are according the highest need of praise. ......-.
 Beauty Is an accident, but charm and fascination are either beauty from within or else they come from con- scious creation.
 For 1t Is possible for some women to cultivate attraction. It Is the kind that can be analysed and defined in words, and it sometimes accompanies and Is sometimes apart from, the inde- flnable fascination known, for want Of a better word, as charm.
 Who has not seen the ordinary, ap- parently unattractive woman change under the stimulus of animationf Her face lights up, her eyes sparkle, her laugh becomes mischievous-she be- comes more beautiful than perfect beauty. Sometimes 1t is mere infiec- ton of voice, the allurement of wide mouth tip-tilted in infectious laughter, human sympathy in pair of ordinary eyes. The play of a hand, the turn of an ankle, the unruly kink of curly hair leach has in turn served to bind with unbreakable fetters masculine adora- ton which pale and perfect beauty has left cold.
 The French have a happily descrip- tive term for this type of irregular fas- cination which holds men in thrall- les jolies laides. Like the women 1t describes, 1t is intriguing-"the pretty uglies"-aRd 1t is the nearest possible definition of the elusive attraction which so many plain women possess. an attraction which leaves their more beautiful sisters envious and unsatis- fied.-Mula MacMahon. in the Conti- mental Edition of the London Mall.

 Radio enthusiasts have Increased tenfold within the last few months, it appears from a survey conducted by the Associated Press and covering the central west, Kentucky and Texas. At virtually all points from which re- ports have been received, there are thousands of radio sets, particularly for purposes of telephony, where at most there were hundreds before.
 While the sets are used chiefly for pleasure and experience, they are be- ing put to practical uses in many cases. Numerous farmers are receiv-

ing market anda weather reports, and police are receiving bulletins. Ser mons, concerts, health talks-and style talks are transmitted. Universities and professional operators are coop. erating.
 Approximate figures are reported from various states and centers in- dicating the present number of radio sets. According to A. L. Benson of St. Louis, division manager of the American Radio Relay league, about 9O,OO0 radiophones are used in four states as follows: Iowa, 23,000; Mis- souri, 25,000; Nebraska, 22,0O0; Kansas, 10000. In St. Louis alone there are some 2,2O0. The radiophones chiefly carry concert music, but in many localities farmers have installed them to receive market reports.
 Correspondence from Texas reports 263 stations in Dallas, ranging in size from A K. W. to 20 watts, and almost equal numbers in other cities. of the state. "r-
 Cleveland, Ohio reports probably 15- 900 radio enthusiasts, 1000 sending stations in greater Cleveland, virtually all amateur, and 10000 receiving sets used almost nightly. These estimates exclude commercial sets. Cincinnati reports 500 sets. .-y.z =. ..." .' r-
 Indiana has 4.500 amateur radio sets and Indianapolis 1000 radiophones.
 Wisconsin has nearly 1,500 stations, and the number Is said by Malcomb P. Hanson, University of Wisconsin opera tor, to be increasing at the rate of five day. Nearly 1000 sets are reported in Milwaukee and vicinity.
 North Dakota has d number of re- ceiving stations and a few fairly powerful telegraph and telephone send ing stations. The North Dakota Agri cultural college Is planning to install a 100-watt service for farmers. The vacuum tube is displacing older equip ment in the state.
 Marked growth Is reported at Omaha, Neb., by two radio clubs, which have been in existence only six ; months. The University of Nebraska and Nebraska Wesleyan, cooperating, | send to amateurs in Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Colorado and Kansas.

THE COST OF RAILROAD TREsPAssINS

During the period of which the Interstate Commerce Commission has record, l40.42 trespassers on railroad property have been killed and i5l,969 injured.
 During the past four years l2.- 2l7 trespassers were killed; of these i.l49 were under l4 years of age; l.076 were under 2l years and over is: 1,542 were itinerant unemployed; s,45O were other adults generally residing in the vi- einity of the place of accident.
 Railroad trespassing means using railroad tracks as a highway or for any other purpose not by license, permission or invitation, and is an invasion of property rights.
 Railroad trespassing is forbidden by law because 1t is dangerous.
