erfcd's Foremost Radio AHthOFitu


Many amateurs are using the loop
aerial form Of transmission over short
distances with great success.
This type of transmitter was devel-
oped just before the armistice for use
in trench warfare.
Using the small tubes which are
ordinarily found in the radio receiver,
and loops Of wire consisting Of three
or four turns on a square frame three
feet on a side, a transmitter can cas-
lily be built to cover a range OF three
to six miles.
The loop type Of antenna is direc-
tional. 1t throws the bulk OF lis en-
ergy in one direction. This charac.
teristic was highly desirable since 1t
would enable transmission up and
down the trenches with small fear
that the enemy would be able to pick
up enough Of the signal to be of any
service to 1t.
AS tried in France. the system con
sisted Of two identical outfits. Both
were tuned to approximately the same

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Eighteen hun.
bred miles westward from Capetown,
South Africa, is a tiny spot on the
map-it is Tristan da Cunha, as iso-
lated island in the South Atlantic. a
linely outpost Of the British Empire.
The islanders wants are simple
they are white people and good Brit

Motherland might at least arrange for
one mail a year from England When
the Rev. H. NJ. Rogers arrived there
last May to practice as missionary
and schoolmaster, he was told that
his boat, a japanese steamer, had
been the first to call in fourteen
weary months. Rogers told the
islanders Of Princess Mary's marriage
and other Tate news"
The population Of Tristan da Cunha
-140-- is greater now than 1t has
everA been. The people are neither
mentally nor morally deflcie41t.
Rogers parsonage was the first
wooden house ever erected on the
island.
The Tristanltes are largely stock
breeders and fishermen. but their re-
uoteness from civilization makes the
fight for existence a precarious one.

Chinese Aliens Brought Over

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Captain
Kid, while esteemed as a pirate, was
a novice at smuggling compared with
some modern followers Of the Lrofes
sion, according to immigration Com
missioner w. K. Husband.
In an exclusive interview with the
United News, Commissioner Husband
detailed the 1922 business efficiency
methods employed by operators en-
gagged in alien smuggling-methods
entirely absent in the days when Kidd
roalned the seas.
Smuggling Reaches Heights -
off the Florida Keys today, accord
ing to Husband, the smuggling OF
aliens has reached heights Of business
efficiency never reached before.
The biggest business is being done,
he said, in Chinese coolies, transport
ed to Cuba during war days to labor
as plantation hands for the sugar
growing and refining industries.
Chinese who are DESTROYS Of enter
ing the United States" said Husband.
pay we'll for an opportunity to set
their feet on American soon. The
current quotations in Havana show
an average price of a thousand dol
lars a head"
But the agreements and promises
of the smugglers are sometimes vi.
sionary.
Husband cited specific cases where
II was shown that on occasions the
smugglers secured a cargo Of aliens,
accepted the smuggling fee and guar
anteed each customer a safe trip.
Aliens Are Dragged
THE outcome Of these cases" Hus-
band said. was that the aliens were
drugged, taken a few miles down the
Cuban coast and beached in a tropi-
cal jungle. The smugglers assured
their clients that they were on Amer
lean soil"
A favorite landing place for the
entry of aliens is DEVILS Hole. of the
coast OF Tarpon Springs. Florida
Here the aliens are whisked ashore
and hidden inland until a favorable
opportunity arrives for the next
move. Motor lorries then take them
further inland to Georgia or to one
Of the Gulf states.

NOW, OGLE SAYS
Head of Operators Says Coal
Production Standard Will
Be Reached Soon.

Responsibility for the delivery of
coal to homes, institutions and utili-
ties rests with the railroads, accord
ing to Alfred NJ Ogle, president of
the National Association of Bitumi-
nous Coal Operators, upon his return
from the meeting Of miners and oper-
ators at Terre Haute. One hundred
and forty-seven mines in Indiana
were expected to resume operations
today, but a shortage of railroad
rolling stock is expected to block de-
livery. Mr.. Ogle said.
Prior to the strike, 125,000 tons of
coal were produced in Indiana daily,
but 1t will be several days before
mines opened under agreement can
be brought up to production stand
ards.
Despite the fact that Indiana
mines are in process Of reopening.

emergency committee, continued his
efforts to obtain 100 cars Of coal for
immediate shipment to relieve can

HouO Bodied Hair Girl
SoIUed Curling Problem,

"AIy worries began after having my
hair bobbed I simply could not keep
1t in curl, especially on damp days.
After reading about liquid silmerine in
all the leading magazines, I decided to
give it a trial. I applied it according to
directions and then put my hair up and
left it over night. I was so delighted
with the lovely curls in the morning and,
best of all, they stay nice all day. regard
less Of the weather. When my hair gets
straight again, instead Of giving it an
other application, I simply dampen it
with water before putting it on curriers'.
BY so doing, one silmerine application
lasts a week or ten days. l for one am
thankful for this miraculous liquid
silmerine."
This letter from a Pennsylvania en-
thusiast is one Of many which show that
liquid silmerine is equally efficaciOus for
bobbed and long hair. This harmless
liquid. obtainable at any drug or de-
partment store. is just splendid for
keeping any hair beautifully wavy, soft

He is a terrific man with the bat or at

walked once and smashed out two dou-

baserunner, one of his doubles was equal

single was good for a double. Smi and
Bur, the other two new recruits, took turns
about in holding down the left garden.
While Smi was out there, no chances
came his way but he did have three trips
to the plate and he slammed out two
beautiful hits. While Bur was out there
he had one possible. chance and that was
