terested in the moving and reaping machinery and was soon an expert repairer or Trouble shooter" Later he roamed down into the Panhandle" district of the Texas oil fields where he again applied his genius for me chanical invention to the mining machinery and oil well pumps. in addition to which he also worked as surveyor and "punched' cattle for variety.
 Mexico next attracted him and while there he received a telegram from his father. notifying him of his appointment as stenographer in the United States treasury depart-' ment at Washington. He incidentally had picked up stenography while on his cross-country tours. He became chief of the life saving service, now called the coast guard service, but private secretary to s. I. KimbaH, resigned in 1895 to take up research work, which led to his inventions.
 MT. Jenkins is typical inventor and he had an inventors hard luck. He got the idea about how to send pictures by radio years ago but he couldn't work it out. His mind be- gan to cloud after application in his laboratory day and night. He had to seek recreation. and as is character istic of the man, took up aviation as a mental relaxation. It was not until last May, while flying in his hydroplane high above Washington that the final perplexing problem in his invention became clear to him. The difficulty was the adjustment of the prismatc plates on his sending machine and the. solution came Hike an inspiration out of the clouds"
 
 Movies By Air.
 MT. Jenkins also claims that by the use of his new invention the day is not far distant when moving pictures can be sent in the same way as the present photographs. Imagine sitting at home, as one does now, listening to the radio and sec ing the latest fiye-reel thriller pro- jected on your own private screen.

GREAT SHIP BASES' T0 BE DEVELOPED. UPON TWO OCEANS
Stations Capable of Serving Entire Fleet in All Re- spects Will Be Con-
 Structed

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Devel- opment within a definite period of four continental and two advanced" fleet bases has been decided upon by the navy department as an in- tegral element of the national naval defense program.
 The bases, selected by special board on shore establishments, head cd by Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, will be given 8 certain priority" in development which has been de- termined after study of every strategic consideration.
 Under this schedule, they will be developed as follows:
 San Fraacisto-A base capable of serving the entire fleet in all re- spects."
 Puget Sound-A base equal to that at San Francisco, and to include existing naval stations of that sec tion.
 The New York -Narragansett base. to include stations now located in New York harbor, Long Island and Narragansett sound.
 Chesapeake bay, an all-fleet base to include stations on the lower bay.
 The outlying bases are the Panama Canal zone and the Hawaiian Islands, the board having excluded from it's recommendations "all shore stations in insuar possessions, where, under the limitation of armament treaty, the status quo must be maintained"
 o o O
 Completing Program.
 Limitation of specified types of ships under that treaty has been held by naval experts to necessitate certain notifications in the position given these bases in the general strategic plan of the United States and to require a re-drawing of plans for their development. Apparent de- cision of some foreign governments to press forward construction of the fast light ships, which were not lim- ited under the treaty, is said to have directed attention to the, importance Of completing the program for the Canal and Hawaiian defenses in or- der to balance the scale.
 Detailed plans and estimates of the cost for each base will be pre-. scented to the next Congress along with recommendations for a build ing program designed to bring the navy up to its standard under the 5-5-3 ratio.
 While completion of the fleet bases will be made the first consideration of the navy department, it was said officially today that preliminary work would be undertaken at the same time upon plans for the de- velopment of subsidiary shore sta- tions. These include the various navy yards, submarine and destroyer station. naval air stations for coast patrol duty, training stations, ord- nance, ammunition and fuel depots.

TAKE TWO MORE STEPS IN REFUNDING DEBTS
Finland's Loan To Be Negotiated
 On Basis of English Agreement

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The American debt funding commission, considering two foreign debt ques- tions today, negotiated tentative program for refunding the debt of Finland to the United States and put the recently negotiated agreement with Great Britain in the final stage preparatory to going into operation.
 Formal approval was given by the commission to the debenture which embodies the terms of the agreement with the British government and which already has been accepted by Congress. The contractual document will be submitted to the British government for suggestion as to date for the formal signing.
 Finland was accorded terms for the repayment of her debt almost identical with those given Great Britain.
 The Finnish government has bor- rowed approximately s10,000,000, but repayments have brought the amount down by almost $1,000.008 and the efunding program tenta- lively agreed on today calculates a refunding on the basis of $9,000,000. The difference of around $l50,o00 will be paid in cash.
 Dr. Axel Astrom. the Finnish min ister, who was present at today's meeting, announce dthat he would cable the terms of the agreement to his government. The Finnish par liament is in session and Dr. Astrom suggested that it probably will act before adjournment, two weeks hence. The settlement cannot be finally consummated, however. until it is accepted by Congress- which is not scheduled to meet again until December. 1t is the intention of the treasury. however. to go ahead with details of the plan and have it ready for the affixing of signatures if il iS annroyed

 MT. Rollins has made Senator Hi- ram SCnson of California very mad for Senator Johnson is said to claim a monopoly on the affection of ev- erybody in California, especially since he is tentative candidate for the presidency himself.
 II never heard of the man. said Senator Johnson.
 Senator Shortridge of California solemnly announced that Mir. Rollins was not included in the number of his constituents. Senator Borah, IN hen asked for particulars, declared that he had never met MT. Rollins.
 In yesterdays mail were cnaIn let tels addressed to every man and woman whose name appears in the congressional directory. In these were contained stamped postal cards with the suggestion that they be forwarded to others. Receivers were urged not ito break the chain"
 In the letters and on the cards the virtue of Borah was emphasized. The work was so thoroughly done that few hours after the deluge of let ters, everybody in official life was discussing the incident.
 Rollins argued that within a little while il the chain be not broken, ., Borah boom would be so well ad- vanced that it could not be headed with the result that the people will nominate the next President rather than the politicians"
