PRIVACY IN RADIO
NEAR, SAYS INVENTOR
Hisconception of Theory Holds
Back Science, DR.. De
Forest Asserts.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, January 20
-Waveless wireless, which will make
possible private radio comm unication
on par with the telephone, and
other important developments which
VIII revolutionize the science of radio
are possibilities soon, Edgar A. De
Forest, Minneapolis inventive en-
E1neer. announced tonight.
Mr.. De Forest has been engaged in
electrical engineering inventive work
for the past twenty years, and has
recently evolved the plan of a sys.
tenn that will bring about many
to the world
A miSconception exists, he said
that private radio service is limited
to code transmission and that party
to-party service on any other basis is
impracticable, if not impossible. Prog
ress has been limited by the erroneous
idea of waves" and wave propaga-
tion. Some of the latter day scientists
have disproved this theory. The late
DIR. Steinmetz said: There are no
waves." Others intent on their own
theory have ridiculed this idea, Mr..
De Forest claims
Cost to BE Nominal.
Inc IOTtHcOIllHP innovations or the
silent system of waveless wireless
will provide for a central station con-
tinuously active and with both send
ing and receiving elements, which are
identical in construction and operate
with perfect. current constraint with
out the use of pulsa tions or any al
formation effects whatsoever. Offices
and residences will be equipped with
a small instrument, the cost of which
will be nominal, and by an automatic
signal will be put in touch with the
party desired by q system of number
ing. The system, therefore, will be
limited to the two connected sta
tions.
The future of the science of radio
is so Uncomfortable. Mr. De Forest
said. that capitalists are not inter-
ested in it's commercial application,
and scientists have made few real ad-
vances during the last score of yea rs
to indicate their faith in It's future.
1t will remain for the younger gem
GRAFTON to apply new principles and
develop its possibilities, he said.
Standardization of radio equipment
is the first step in the advance Of the
science, Mr.. De Forest believes, and
toward that end he has designed sim
Slified coils and other apparatus, the
operation Of which is worked out on
a mathematical basis, rather than
through process of experimentation.

MASSACHUSETTS IS
PASSED IN NUMBER
Of SPINDLE HOURS

RALEIGH, N. c., April 2.-North
Carolina passed all states of the
union in the number Of active spin
die hours for the months of Febru-
airy, according to a statement issued
here last night by Frank Parker,
agricultural statistician of the state.
This distinction, according to Mr.
Parker's statement came after the
state had been recognized as having
the greatest number of cotton mills
and the largest yield of lint cotton
per acre Of the primary cotton states.
In making a record Of the greatest
activity of the spindles the state in
February passed Massachusetts, and
South Carolina.
Massachusetts has long been rec
ognized as having the largest num-
Der of cotton spindles," read the
statement issued by the state sta.
tistician. These amount to II, $685.
in place March ], 1924, while Nort1
Carolina had but 5,723,041. While
practically all Of North Cardinals
spindles were active only SOS, 160
were active during February in
Massachusetts. The average active
spindle hours in February showed
277, for South Carolina, 266 for
North Carolina and 122 hours per
spindle for Massachusetts. This
gives North Carolina 1920, 1924, 1913
total active spindle hours for Feb
ruary while Massachusetts had n
total of ,459 1888, 256 hours and South
Carolina 1886, $3.50 hours. These
three states distinctly lead all others
in active spindles."

Use of Alien Funds
For Farmers Market
Endorsed by Miller

WASHINGTON, April PRO
posed use of alien property funds
to finance a foreign market for
American farm products was en-
dorsed today before the senate agri,
culture committee by Thomas w.
Miller, the alien property custodian,
and by several senators and repre-
sentatives from cotton growing
states.
Colonel Miller said the bills under
consideration by the committee, in
troduced by Senator Dial, Demo
crat, South Carolina. and Repre-
sentative Lowery, Democrat, Mis-
sissippi, were based upon recon-
mendations made in his report of
January IA, 1924.
Estimating that sound" Ameri-
can claims against Germany will ag-
gregate $500, 100000, Miller told the
committee he still would have that
amount in trust when the provisions
of the Winslow bill authorizing re-
turn Of all trusts of value not eX-
ceeding $4,000, had been carried
out.
He suggested an alternative,
should the Dial bill fail, for crea-
ton of an "alien property trade in
vestment corporation" and for trans
fer of specific trusts to CONNER
Cial banks which would give bond
to protect the government. The
banks would then lend the money to
the alien owner for use in promot-
ing purchases in the United States.

JESS SMITH WASHINGTON'S
MYSTERY MAN TWO YEARS;
CARRIED RIDDLE TO GRAVE

to the throne" than Charley"
Hughes or Herbert Hoover or a
number of other men that the ma
ton called great.
Instead of a small town merchant.
Jess Smith became a man of affairs,
a club man, man about town Up
to, the time Of his advent in Wash
ington, Ray Baker, Of Reno, had
been known as the most ultra
swell" dresser in official circles. Ray
was director or the mint and clothes
looked like a million dollars. There
were diamonds on his watch charm,
diamonds on his long cigarette hold
err and diamonds on his garter
buckles.
But Ray faded when Jess Smith
started to blossom out. He went to
the best tailors that the state OF
Ohio afforded and soon gave evidence
that while Washington Courthouse
was a small town it was no Hick-
Vile center by a long shot. One
day during the first summer OF the
Harding administration, Jess Smith
electrified all the other callers st
the White House offices by appear
ing there in a Shantung silk crea-
ton. The suit was the natural
pongee shade. The shirt was purple
There was a purple handkerchief in
the breast pocket. There was purple
socks and a Panama hat with purple
band. Main Street" was never
more respondent than then.
Loved Daugherty More
AS much as Jess Smith thought Of
President Harding-and through
Harry Daugherty he had met the
president-to-be long before he ever
dreamed of the White House-he
would have preferred to follow Har-
ry Daugherty to the uttermost OBJ
livion rather than to continue to
basl1 in the White House smiles with
out his friend.
1t was not Damon and Pythias
affair, this friendship. Jess Smith
did not place himself on the same
plane with Harry Daugherty. To
Jess there was no one on that plane.
Harry Daugherty stood above all
other men. To Jess, Harry Daugh-
erty was an idol
Smith was a much younger man
than the attorney general. He was
tall, robust, with rosy cheeks, a
DEOWn InuSLdCuS anu plSuLy VI bIO"n
hair. At the big hotel where he and
Mr.. Daugherty lived in apartments,
Jess Smith was great social ia
vorite. Many attractive women eyed
him as an eligible, They knew how
close he was to the White House.
They knew he had been included in
all of the Harding houseboat trips,
and the obscure Ohioan Of a few
months ago had become an extreme
ly socially desirable Washingtonian.
Despite it's tragic ending, life had
given Jess Smith at least two years
on the crest of the wave. He had
lived. If he thought his going could
have benefited his friend in any way,
his one regret would have been that
of Nathan Hale-that he had but
one life to give. And If a man can
be restless in his grave, Jess Smith
must be suffering tortures over what
is going on in Washington today.

Bryan Endorses Plan
For Government to
Pay Campaign Bills

WASHINGTON, April "A plan
to let the government pay political
campaign expenses was brought for
ward here by William Jennings
Bryan.
Recalling that President Roosevelt
once suggested some such arrange
ment, Mr.. Bryan said the senate dis
closures had prepared the public
mind for acceptance of the plan, and
advocated quick action so it could
be employed in the 1924 campaign.
The formal announcements of can
didates would be placed before the
people under the plan in a bullentin
issued by the government, and there
would be an additional appropriation
from the federal treasury amounting
to ten cents per voter, apportioned
among parties according to their last
recorded strength.
Thus, Mr.. Bryan said, parties and
candidates would be saved from
"obhgating themselves to the preda.
tory interests"
