what to do.
Just as he was about to fare up IN
the height Of his rage she stopped hin,
with gentle request. "Will you do just

He glared at her speechlessly, and
while he glared she followed up her I'D

she counted ten before saying anything

He had to do Il: he was too as.

And suddenly the fit Of rage broke, as

The fact that the police OF Lincoln

taken into consideration by the

that such adventures would disap-
pear from the annals of crime, but
such isn't the case at all, however, the
scene of them is largely being trans
ferred to the big centers Of popula-
tion like New York and Chicago. To

FIRST RADIO CAR
VISITS RA Wins
PIONEER RADIO ENGINEER WITn CON
PLETELY EQUIPPED CAR IS
MAKING LONG TRIP

Indeed a pioneer radio engineer is
Thomas E. Clark, designer and
builder Of the Tecla radio receiving
apparatus. being used on "America's
First Radio Tour "a which was in
Rawlins Thursday last. and who las
not only been in wireless since
youth. but had the first wireless ex-
hibit in the world, exhibiting his
wireless sets at the National Elec-
trical Contractors convention. held
In Detroit. Mich. in July 1908.
In 1902 Mr.. Clark published his
first price list of wireless sets and
parts and as early as December.
1908, was designing and building
radio sets for the Signal Corps OF
the U. S. Army and Navy. BY 1907
he was making practical use Of his
radio telephone on Detroit to Cleve-
land lake steamers. keeping in con-
slant communication with them.
Mr.. Clark's interest in radio was
first aroused In 1893 when, as
trical Company of Schenectady. N.
Y. he was tent to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago. in charge Of their cleo
trical exhibit. While there he was
greatly interested by Nicola Tecla's
exhibit Of high frequency apparatus
and Immediately upon his return to
Schenectady he began experiments In
high frequency which terminated in
his demonstrating Of radio as early
1907.
Beginning in 1907, Mr.. Clark in
stalled wireless stations for numer-
u newspapers in the Great Lakes
region, including the Detroit Journ-
al. Port Huron Herald, Alpena News.
Bay City Tribune and the Saginaw
News. 1t was in 1907, also. hat Mr..
Clark carried on successful and ex-
tensive experiments in talking to
and from a moving train. 1t was
due to those experiments that he
developed his automatic radio train
control system which Is now being
tested on one OF the large railroads.
Since 1912 Mr.. Clark has been
designing and building small radio
receiving sets known as the camera
phone type and which are small
enough to carry as a camera yet are
complete enough to "pick up"
broadcasting stations clearly and at
long distance. One of these camera
phone sets proved to be the out
standing sensation OF the Detroit
Show held in April when twenty
four people listened in on one set,
and was demonstrated to be SO
simple in operation that a child
could easily operate it.
Mr.. Clark has also developed a
special loop mechanism by which
1t is possible to 'listen in" while
motoring. The receiving set on the
radio Car" which stopped here was
equipped with one of these newly
developed loops. making 1t possible
for them to pick up" any station
from New York to San Francisco,
while motoring from one city to the
next.

R. C. Whittier the lumberman

Mr.. whittier IL very much struck
with our western country and re-
ported a very hospitable welcome
both ON the part of the forest Of
ficers and local residents who showed
him the best fishing and described
to him the local industrial and
scenic features. He reported excel
lent roads and fishing, having tray
eled over the Lcramie-W Walden High
way and the Saratoga road a. far as
Encampment.
Mr.. Whittier investigated lumber
ing operations In the vicinity of
Forpark and Gramm. He Is the
owner and operator of a large saw
mill In Vermont and examined some
of our lodgepole pine and Is of the
opinion that as to quality for lum-
Der 1t compares very f~atorably with
the spruce of Vermont which q
kets at q price Of $4,000 per thous-
