Static Noises Eliminated
 By New Radio nuention

several days ago. Miessner, who was a government 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 Major General Suuier's de vice and found to work perfectly. Dr. Cohen said. Signals were picked up with perfect clarity when static conditions were espe- cially bad.
 of transmission holds tremendous commercial possibilities, accord- ing to Dr. Cohen. who said that power companies had been CO., operating 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 atmosphere, espe- ciaily in summer, even the larg- est stations must shut down at times. The device perfected by Major Mauborgne and myself separates the static noises from the signal. grounds the noise and leaves the signal clear and dis tict.
 ''This is a new and radical de- parture in receiving radio sig nals. The method consists In re- ceiving the radio signal. passing 1t through. a very long coil. which drains off the interfering dis turbances and leaves the full strength signal without uoisAs."

made that a special commission of Russian experts be formed, which may be called in by the commission when 1t desires information.
 Russians Not to Accept.
 Again the Russians declare that they will not accept any such plan. as that would not be dealing with them on an equality basis. and 1t is difficult for tho delegations to find any plan appealing to both French and British and yet not offensive to the Russians,
 The afternoon meeting of the sub commission was chiefly an exposi- ton of the views of the powers which had not entered into the dis cussion at the morning session. Japan. Poland, Switzerland, and Sweden, as well as France and Great Britain, set forth their views. vis- count Ishii supported the British position that the Russians should participate in the mixed commission. He regarded the task of the Genoa conference as too important b be lightly abandoned, since 1t really concerned the reconstruction not only of Europe but the whole world He finally expressed the hope that the French would agree on some method of procedure.
 M. Motta, ex-president of switzer- land, preferred that the mixed com mission should he named by the con ference, but 1t might be possible to have the governments participating In the conference name tho commits sion outside of tho regular sessions. He favored having the Russians par ticipate, and said that Switzerland was enthusiastic about the proposed truce an expressed the hope that the truce would be a preliminary to lasting yeace pact.

 Underwood of Alabama,
 \ Scratic leader with .penaltz- 70 .ie American people In their ef-
 Is to secure knowledge. education and the advantages that grow out of educational development" He waa discussing a per cent increase in the present duty of 5 par cent ad valorem on ink which the Senate ap- proved.
 Tn this bill" Senator Underwood said. the majority are raising the taxes on paper of all kinds: they are raising the tax on printers ink; they raising the tax on everything that goes to make a book or newspaper. It may be said that it is only cent or two, that 1t Is onl va small amount, but when thA tax is Increased on every Item in bill which covers 1000 articles, A burden of taxation is im- posed to a point where men of moder- ate means In the United States are deprived of the advantages Of life which they are entitled to have be- cause prohibitive taxes are levied at the custom house for benefit of spe- ciai interests that are already pros pering and growing rich.
 Demand Prohibitive Tariff
 '1t seems that those who believe fin a protective tariff now have reached point where they demand a pro hibitive tariff, and so far as they are able they propose to build up . tariff wall so high that no impor- tations can come In. and that the American manufacturer may have monopoly behind the tariff wall and exploit the American people to his hearts desire"
 Senator Hitchcock. democrat, Me- braska, offered an amendment to con- tinue the Underwood rate, but 1t was rejected, Si to IS.
 Presenting official figures to show that American ink manufacturers not only dominated the home market, but exported large quantities of ink, the Nebraska senator declared that the proposed tariff was typical of the vices in the bill"
 Not For Protection
 He asserted that an increase in tho

 All that increasing ths rate will do," he said, will be to give H. cense and an opportunity to the ink manufacturers of the United States to increase their prices without any hope of competition from abroad to nave the consumers"
 Senator Smoot of Utah. ranking re- publican on the finance committee. defended the per cent increase, say ing that t was necessary because provision was made In the bill for in crcasing tho protection on the ingrsd- ients of ink. He gave 1t as his opin- ion that tho increase would not be borne by the ultimate consumer, but probably would be taken care of by loea, competition.
