which a dozen patents are pending.
was perfected by Maj. Gen. George
o. Squier, chief signal officer Of the
Army.
A similar invention was announced
here by B. F. Miessner several days
ago. Miessner, who was govern
ment expert during the war. said his
work had been separate from the
government Investigations.
The draining coil was hooked up
for the first time yesterday with Maj.
work perfectly, DR.. Cohen said.
Signals were picked up with perfect
clarity when static conditions were
especially bad.
Stations Had to Shut Down.
The electric power line method of
Transmission holds tremendous COM
mercial possibilities, according to DR..
Cohen, who said that power had been
cooperating in the experimental
work fully.
eliminating static noises has been
one of the most serious problems in
radio development" he said due
to the electrical charges in the atmos-
phere, especially in summer, even the
largest stations must shut down at
times. The device perfected by Maj.
Mauborgne and myself separates the
static noises from the signal, grounds
the noise and leaves the signal clear
and distinct.
A Radical Departure.
This is new and radical departure
in receiving radio signals. The method
consists in receiving the radio signal
passing it through a very long coil
which drains off the interfering dis
turbances and'leaves the full-strength
signal without noises"
Maj. Maubergne explained that
radio signals received by the electric
power line method could also be
cleared of noises. Such signals may
be received from broadcasting sta
tien sending by the usual aerials,
from which the waves hit exposed
travel over the wires to the receiving
set, or could be received from a sta
tion also using the power line instead
of an aerial. The only additional
equipment needed for power line re-
ceiving is set of condensers, which
cost less than dollar, Mai
Mauborgne said.
DR.. Louis Cohen has been giving
graduate courses in radio at George
Washington University at various
periods for about ten years, it was
said last night by DR.. Howard L.
Hodgkins, acting president of the in
stitution. ...-
DR.. Hodgkins said that DR.. Coher
is regarded as one of the best radio
scientists in the country. and because
of his high qualifications and exper-
fences only gives advance lectures or
the subject. DR.. Cohen, he added
gives his course at the university
every two years.
For several months DR.. Cohen has
been out of the city.

Dr.. WiedtfeId Anxious to Aid
World Commerce and
Build Up Friendship.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 15.-Dr. Otto l..
wiedtfeld, newly appointed German
ambassador to the United States. ar
rived today on the United States liner
America.
The diplomat said he had no par
ticular message for Americans at TINS
time, except to tell them that he came
with the distinct idea of increasing
friendly feeling, between Germany
and America and covering up the
last traces of the buried hatchet.
Sees Quick Friendship Revival
"I am fguratively shaking hands
again with America for my country
he said. "and believe that is token
that our old acquaintance Will not oe
forgotten and that mutual respect
service and friendship will be quickly
revived"
DR. Wiedtfeld was met down the
bay bv the police boat John F. Hylan.
on which were 100 prominent New
Workers of German extraction, under
the chairmanship of Magistrate
Charles Oberwager. A band ABOARD
the Hylan played American and Ger
man airs while the America came up
the bay, with the reception committee
cheering steadily. even while the am
bassador was inside the dining saloon
declaring his baggage for the Gus
toms officers.
ntr,omof Greeted ns Friend.
At the pier Magistrate Oberwaser
made short speech of welcome TO
which DR.. wiedtfeld responded as
briefly The magistrate said tnat Ne"
York "as the mouthpiece OF welcome
greeted the new diplomat as Il friend.
He declared that the entire country
stood behind the committee in paying
honor to DIR. Wiedtfeld. because the
nation felt that with his appointment
and with the reopening of the Ger
man embassy a long step toward
world peace had been taken.
DIR. Karl Lang. who has been acting
as charge d'affaires for Germany, ana
Karl Kraske, consul general in New
York, went down the bay on the
customs boat and came up with thelr
new chief. These two made up the
only official welcoming party that
went aboard the liner.
Hopes to Bury Hatchet Deeper.
1T seems to me-" said the new am
bassador as he stood on the bridge
of the America watching the Statue
of Liberty, that my mission is more
social and industrial than political.
1 am here to do what i can to improve
conditions in Germany and America.
and in the world. Some of our CO.
temporaries say the standard of liV-
ing is not high enough for the times
in which we live. and if that is so,
1 hope to do my small measure to
change that condition.
Il do not dare to meddle greatly
with so many varied problems Many
of the worlds best brains have them
under their consideration. but 1 shall
do what can.
THE present economic troubles.
which almost every country in the
world has to face. are the natural
consequence of the convulsing de-
struction of the worlds commerce.
Only cooperation of all nations can
help to re-establish international
business, and it is to do my best to
that end that I am here, hoping to
cover up the last traces of the al
ready deeply buried hatchet."

And brush the years away.
The scenes of childhood hover near
And softly fill the room,
And visions sweet of scenes dear
Are hid in every bloom.

! see baby, too;
l see the Mothers dark brown hair
l see her eyes true;
hear her singing, hear her speak.

l see them playing hide and seek;
l hear them laugh in fun.
l see her tuck him in his bed;
/ see her kiss his lips
And touch the ringlets round his head
With loving finger tips.
| see her brush away his tears,
That used to at night.
She croons away the baby fears,
And then turns out the light.
The scenes speed on, the years have flown;
see wrinkled face.
The babe of memory has grown
A man stands in his place
And dreams once more of days gone BY
And then he knees to pray
For Mother, as he wipes his eye,
On this his Mothers day"
