RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

KANSAS CITY. June 23.--Con- solidation of the railroads of the country into small number of systems is a rational and juctifia'ble step full of promises toward the solution of the trane- poriation problems, President Hard ing declared in his second prepared address on his western and Alaska trip, delivered here last night.
 If the system of consolidations will not afford the solution then our failure will enforce costlier ex- pertinent and the one great com mitment which I hope the United States will escape
 This commitment, government operation. the President said, would be "colossal blunder which would destroy initiative and infest us with political corruption. create regional jealousies and impose incalcuable cost on the public treasury"

Kansas, 10000. In ST. Louis alone
there are some 200. The radiophones
chiefly carry concert music, but in

MARC0NI REALLY
FATHER OF RADIO
Story Of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development Of Air
Communication.

While experiments along the lin,
OF radio really started as far back al
1927 and hundreds Of scientists were
In 'erested In solving the problems In
volved for many years, 1t was not un.
til 1895 when Senatore GuglielmO
/ Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery of air communication got
its first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his.
tory of radio communication.
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, G. C.
V. O., L. L. D., Disc. NJ. l. e. E., was
born In Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874
His mother was Irish, while his father
was Of family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After an edu.
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem of wireless telegraphy, start
ing his research in 1895. He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for a practical
system of wireless telegraphy, by the
use Of electric waves. His early ex-
periments in England were made at
Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. H. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials of the postoffice. Some
further experiments were made In
May, 1897, in the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
lished between Lavernock and Brean
Down, distance of nine miles.
On the invitation of the Italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where a land station was
erected, which was kept in constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from distance of
II miles. For this success the Ital- |
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor Of knighthood. After
return to England further expert |
ments were conducted and on July 20,
1897, the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt
ability to which the system lends IT.

services at the disposal Of King Vic
tor and was given the rank of lieu
tenant in TIE Italian army. He was
employed Oh important military mis-
sions to England by the Italian gov
eminent and after this service was
transferred as temporary commander
in the Italian navy. Marconi visited
the United States in 1917 as member
of the official mission sent by Italy.
In 1919 Marconi was appointed pleni-
potentiary delegate to the peace
conference at Paris, and in this capac-
ity signed the peace treaties with
Austria and Bulgaria. He was after
ward awarded the Italian military
cross.

wireless world, who has received
about all the honors possible for the
scientific ro~'d to hestow npon him

AN OLD JOKE OR TWO

| Miles Cannon and former COVER
nor D. w. Davis were at BlackfoOi
recently, and while Cannon wat
speaking he told of the wonderful
growth of the coast cities, and said
that in Southern Oregon they were
driving along the road and came to
sign that read: LOS Angeles city
limits"
The Scott caravan that crossed the
continent from Brooklyn, New York,
to Bull, Idaho, was made up of 100
percent people who were not farmers
and knew nothing of pioneering.
When they were settling upon their
claims, one man and his wife went
shopping among the Bull farmers
for a milk COW, and on being shown
fine large one. the lady asked how
much milk the COW gave. On being
told, fourteen quarts a day." she
said quickly, ooh we don't need so
large COW as that; we can only use
a quart of milk day, and a smaller
COW will do for u.s.
1t is said of another Scott caravan
settler that he drove around in his
car till he found and bought
heifer. He was told that she was
broke to lead, so he hitched her be-
hind his car and assumed that she
would be able to keep up if he drove
rather slowly. The story does not
say just how fast he drove, but it
says that while going up a hill the
COW went down and naturally,
choked violently while stopping the
car. The man got her up and tried
again, and she soon went down again
The man turned back and took
the cow to the man he had bought
her of and demanded money back,
saying he had bargained for sound,
healthy one, and did not intend to
have this fainting heifer put off on
him.
There is always a little for city
girl in the country to learn, as well
rs for a country girl in the city,
and somebody tells this: The city |
girl was having dinner with her
hum on the farm, and when the
lice rich cream was passed to her
The said, "Your papa keeps a COW
doesn't hep And then when the
honey was passed to her she said,
Does your papa keep bee?"

self to commercial purposes. In De
cember, 1898, Marconi installed ap
paratus TO provide communication be-
| and lighthouse on the south coast
In 1899 Marconi read paper on
wireless Telegraphy'' before the In
stitution of Electrical Engineers in
London.
Early in 1901 Geographic commu-
nication was established between two
points more than $50 miles distant
and at the end Of that year Marconi
transmitted signals. from Poldhu, in
Cornwall to ST. Johns, Newfoundland.
In 1902 he received on board the
steamship Philadelphia in the pres
ence Of the officers, good messages
on the tape when at distance OF
over 1900 miles from the transmit
ting station and signals at over 1000
miles. In December, 1902, the station
established at Cape Breton, Nova
Scotia, under q contract with the Ca
madam government for transatlantic
wireless telegraphy, was put into
communication with the Cornwall sta
ton at Pntihu and inaugural messages
were transmitted to the King OF
England the King of Italy and to
the London Times. In October, 1903,
the steamship Lucania published a
daily wirc'ess bulletin from messages
received from the Marconi stations.
A powerful station at Clifden on the
west coast of Ireland was opened
early in 1907 for the establishment
of commercial relations with the
American continent at Glace Bay.
