Bargain in Radio
Messages Expected

London, July IA. p. by Ma1l.)
Another great step in the develop
ment of wireless telegraphic trans
mission has been realized, says SEN
ator Marconi, who has returned to
London after two months expert
mental cruise in his yacht ELECTRA"
A system has been evolved by the
italian inventor whereby wireless
messages are transmitted with a
minimum of electrical power and at
very low cost.
1--WE have transmitted messages
up to a distance of 1880 miles, not
amount of power and energy, but
faster and more cheaply than with
the ordinary system of long distance
wireless" said Senator Marconi.
when the new system is adopted it
will mean that a power station for
long distance work can be erected at
much less cost than at present. l
have telegraphed on this system
from Cape Verde Islands, off the
African coast, to London. To send
messages clearly and more rapidly
over those $500 miles took less power
than message from London to Paris
by the ordinary methods.
Senator Marconi explained that
these advantages were gained by the
utilization of waves that have not
before been used. Given the rieces-
sary mechanical element, he said.
messages could be sent clearly seven
times faster than thoSpresent rate.
and that the public and the news
papers would ultimately have the
benefit of much cheaper commercial
charges. His opinion is that wire

IT gradually blends in with the radi-

colleagues are quite aware that they
must restrain their radical ardor
somewhat if they are to gain votes

Tliteracy Fight Aided
Ry 6. G.. Summer Schools

Columbia, S. c.. July ia. P
The summer school idea. in modified
form is being used by South Carolina
in this States fight to wipe out illit-
eracy.
Vacation boarding schools for mon
and women who have lacked educa-
tional opportunities have been arranged
for this summer by the state depart
ment of education, in cooperation with
the authorities of Lander College for
Women at Greenwood land Erskine
College for men at Due West full
months course in elementary subjects
is offered at each institution at a
cost of $3.50 to the student. which in
cludes all expenses except transporta-
ton and laundry.
Pupils whose education has equalled
that of an average sixth grade pupil
are not accepted for enrolment, nor
are boys and girls under IA years old.
Thcpupils live in the college dormi-
tories and eat in the college dining
halls, and in fact, according to Miss
Will Lou Gray, state supervisor of
adult school work. lead the same lives
that are led by the college students
during the regular terms.
Eighty-nine girls and women attend
ed the first opportunity" summer
school, which was conducted at Lander
College last summer. The course Of
fcred this summer at Erslline is the
first made available to men and boys.
The ages of the Lander students
ranged from Il to 81 last year, the
average age being Is years. Many of
the women came from the cotton mill
villages, and not few of these had
their expenses paid by the manage
ment of the mills in which they worked
for the remainder of the year.

tie seven-year-old son with his les

dents said last year. when explaining
