AS|A'S GEORGIA

 Of Russians

Washington, D. C.. Oct. 10,-With nearly all of the Republic of Georgia In the hands of insurgents seeking to throw off Soviet Russian control, that country, save in the capital. Tinis. and the Black Sea port, Batum, Is in much the con- dition that 1t was in its independent days following the World War. What the country was like before 1t succumbed to Soviet influence is told in a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society, quoting a com munication from Melville Chatter. Though one has penetrated fairly far into the East at Tifis," says the bulletin. If one expects vistas of Caravans, camels, and Rcbekahs-at- the-wel, he will suffer disillusion- ment in his first impressions. The Golovinsky Prospekt, which runs , through the heart of the Georgian capital, is as handsome bit of modern metropolitanism as can be found anywhere. With its restaur. ants and cafes, its jewellers, art shops and opera, it's vice-rega palace, the Prospekt, especially wher seen in the lounging hour, is un'

 The author of the plan is Sir Hen " Jones of Tasmania, who expects that the producers will not only ob- tain higher prices, but will receive additional money in the form of profits. which will be distributed by the company among the cooperative owners.

England Finds Her Greatly to t, .s.. Its Liking

London, Oct. 10.--The modern shock elders nowadays has staunch defender in Edward Carpenter, the poet and philosopher. who rcnounc- ed wealth and position half a cen tury ago to become a socialists pioneer.
 Four score years have given MT. Carpenter ample opportunities for '' serving the ways of women and he now celebrates his eightieth birthday with a raen in praise of the girl of the twentieth century. While l am overwhelmed at the inCapacity of the average man. have nothing but admiration for the modern woman, ' said Mir. Carpenter. "She is marvel lous product of the age,
 "I remember the women Of the last generation and their limited lives. Dabbling with water colors, doing a little embroidery, and hav- ing no opinions whatever used to be considered not only a suitable, but the only life for girl. In those days, if girl had opinions on any thing more important than her dress es, she was considered a freak by the other girls, and heavily sat on by the married women.
 The war offered the opportunity at the psychological moment for woman to find her freedom. Now all the problems that she has to face arise from the fact that she still is obliged to conform to certain stand ards that were intended for totally different creature, the woman of yesterday.
 "One of the most striking differ ences between this generation and the last Is the way in which women say what they mean with what used to be masculine diroctness. They once seemed to make point of say ing what they did not mean. l never knew why this was so.
 Altogether this is a hopeful age. Things are moving in the right di- rection, towards more freedom and a more sensible outlook. The curse of the age is lack of seriousness. believe women will do much towards putting the world straight again"

Present indications" Mr.. Sar-

of operating radio receivers in the

as follows:

SENDING Of FOG.
SIGNALS AIDED
BY TUBE SET
New Vacuum Transmitter
Seen as Marked Improve
ment Over Old Methods

Marked improvement in the send
ing Of wireless fog signals from
light ships and lighthouses has been
achieved through the development
by radio engineers Of a vacuum
tube radio transmitter designed for
this sort OF work. In tests which
have just been completed on light
ship 1OS. at Staten Island, the new
tube set showed superior efficiency
as compared with a typical spark
set, of the type which has been
used for a number Of years by the
United States Bureau of Light
houses
During the tests, both OF the fog
signal radio transmitters were ad.
Justed to about ten amperes in the
antenna. 1t was found that the
total power consumed by the spark
set averaged around 2300 watts,
which was nearly 50 per cent
greater than the power consumption
OF the tube set. the latter being
about 1850 watts.
This will have a direct bearing on
the question of fuel supply to light
ships and lighthouses, since the
power for these sets is supplied by
90 OAASAhO VA ANCI EcIIGTdLOTS, III
which kerosene is usually burned.
II the light ship or lighthouse is in
an inaccessible location, as is often
the case, a considerable saving in
fuel and other expenses can be
effected if fuel ships are not re.
quired to make the trip as fire.
quently as at present.
The tube set was shown to be
safer to operate and much more
simple than the spark sets hereto
fore in use, and the signals from
this set were clearer and better
toned, making them easier to read.
This set, the development of
which has now been completed by
the General Electric Company. was
particularly welcomed because of
its ,noninterference characteristics.
The spark sets heretofore used
have been the cause of many com.
plants from listeners to broadcast.
ing stations who have been annoyed
by interference originating with
these sets. This condition will be
remedied by the use of the tube
sets.
