RAILROAD STRIK AS PEACE
AGREEMENTS COME ROMUNl
RADIO IN INFANCY
Advance In Invention Must Come
Before II Is Satisfactory
IAssociated Press1

London, Sept. lit has become
apparent that the wireless telephone
is still In its infancy. and that a
considerable advance In invention
must be achieved before 1t becomes
really satisfactory as means OF
broadcasting or for other purposes.
This is the conclusion of the Radio
Research Boards sub committee,
whose report has just been issued.
eve consider that the develop
ment of adio-telephony for long
ranges is in an extremely elemen-
tary stage and we see no line Of de-
velopment which would be likely to
lead to its establishment on com
mercial basis within measurable
period" they say.

bly, land an appropriation In 1927
and perhaps begin work on the first

Seventeen years ago the legislature
voted for a state oil refinery when

Reeds idea is purely his own
barring, of course, few friendly
discussions which he may have had
with Fred Trigg or Dick Hopkins.
The program Is the general frame
work of the Non-Partisan League
legelislative plan In North Dakota n
few years ago. Reed conceeds as
much and admits 1t is a swing 10
state socialism. The program was
presented without knowledge, con-
sent or endorsement of Republicans
active In the state campaign. 1t is
merely the extra bit of work which
the utilities chairman has cut out for
himself for next winter.
Davis Has a Scheme
Some days ago Jonathan NJ. Davis
sat thinking about Legislative mat
ters. So he thought 1t would be a
fine thing to stir up a joint debate.
Consequently he issued an interview
inviting Billy Morgan to meet him
for public discussion of state taxes.
1t might be equally interesting II
the two candidates could get togeth-
or for speeches ON the Ten Com
mandments, the Gollen Rule or some
similar serious issue on which there
Is keen division Of sentiment. Both
platforms declare for state economy.
Anyway, a governor has about as
much to do with the passage Of ap-
preparation bills as John McIee, the
state house guide. Both Davis and
Morgan who have served in the leg
islature, know it. The governor may
veto an appropriation bill or an item
In an appropriation bill. But he
couldn't change one IL 1t was to give
him the presidecy. Strange how Mr..
Davis memory regarding these mat
ters must have slipped. Or was 1t
Just campaign hOkum?

Harmony Is supreme and because
Of 1t the national headuarters Of the
Legion look to Kansas for much

In closing his talk Mr.. Bolles
urged the Legion to get into politics.
This is in direct contrast with the
speech made along the same line
Monday by Gen Wilder S. Metcalf,
state commander. Mr.. B0lles quail
fed his statement by saying he
means the Legion should get into the
right kind Of politics. The way to
get into the game is to pick out the
candidates who best represent the
attitude OF the Legion and support
them. Party lines, the speaker said,
must not be drawn In the Legion.

OSCILLATION GENERATION NY
CONDENSER DISCHARGE.

Oscillations are nothing more or
less than a very high frequency al
ternating current. Oscillation gen.
GRAFTON is then. the production or
generation of very high frequency
alternating current in an electrical
circuit.
Suppose that a condenser, a COLI of
wire and a spark gap are connected
In series with each other to make up
ap electrical circuit in which alter
mating current will flow when the air
space between the spark gap cleo
trodes becomes conducting path
The condenser is given Il charge of
electricity from some source outside
OF the circuit under considera ton
when 1t is charged the opposing
plates of the condenser are of op-
posite polarity. and there is a diff
ference of potential between them
IL this difference of potential is high
enough 1t will overcome the resist
ance of the air space between the
gap electrodes and spark will take
place in, the gap. The air space be-
comes conducting and the circuit is
closed. The condenser then dis
current of electricity flows This
discharge takes place in an extremely
short period of time, but during the
time the current flows back and forth
maLy times until it finally ceases
when the condenser is completely
discharged. If the current flows back
and forth in opposite directions alter
nately it is, of course, an alternating
current Its frequency will depend
