JENKINS TO SHOW
RADIO PHOTO LETTER
Washington Inventor to Take Part
in Radio Exposition to Be
Held in November.

demonstration of his latest creation
the radio photo letter-at Wash
ington's radio show de luxe to be
staged at Wardman Park Hotel No
vember 20. 21 and 90. under the di-
rection of Alfred L. Stern.
The inventor and his force of as
sistants will start work this week
on plans for the event, which prom
ises to be one of the sensational fea-
lures of the season in radio. Sending
apparatus will be installed at the
Bellevue Naval Experimental Sta
tion, and Mr.. Jenkins is certain OF
the support of officials at that in
stitution, all of whom are deeply
interested in the work.
While nothing definite as to the
nature of the message has been dis
closed or the identity of the prospec-
tive sender and receiver, 1t is under
stood that high Government officials
will be the principals. Mr.. Stern had
an interview with Secretary Hoover
of the Department of Commerce prior
to the latter's departure for the
West. and received assurance that
should he return in time he will
witness or. IL possible, take an active
part in the experiment. Solicitor
DAVIS OIL the oepartfHent Oh SoHl
merce was one of the first to accept
the invitation Of the management OF
the show to be a guest on the eve
ming of the demonstration.
Local radio dealers and jobbers are
evincing a keen interest in the ex-
hibit of sets and apparatus that will
be staged in the Wardman Park lob
by. The west wing. where the scene
will be set, will be shown to even
better advantage by an exhibit of
choice chrysanthemum blooms that
will be provided as an added fea-
ture through corporation of the ex-
hibitors with prominent local florists.
There will be ~ exhibitors.

that will handle the Amateur Set Build
ing contest reports that he is ready

partment Of the National Electrical

Ashes Are Now in Demand

Ashes. usually considered as one of
the least useable of waste products,
are in reality much in demand in the
making of fireproofing composition.
In the large cities Of the country the
advent of modern heating equipment
has so depleted the supply of ashes
and cinders that they. are in great de-

Doctor Marvin says there are many

counting could be better standardized.

this letter Is dated By was established
by the pope Of Rome.
Doctor Marvin points out that the
change could be effected with least In
convenience BY taking action before
1923. the nearest year In which Jan

enable the new year 10 start on the

LOWATER A PROPHET

Some ten or twelve years ago the
writer had a short article in the
Scientific American predicting that
power would be sent broadcast, as
radio waves now are, and saying that
he expected to see airplanes flying
with their dynamos picking up power
from the air, and electric lamps
in scattered farm houses lit by wire
less waves. The idea was ridiculed, one
scientist saying that Lowater must
expect to live longer than Methuselah
is said to have fingered. But at that
time Nicoli Tesla, the great inventor,
who had recently established his huge
laboratories at Niagara Falls, came
to the writer's rescue in a letter say
ing that the idea was entirely prac-
teal, and that he himself was work
ing on it. This week he announces
that he has completed his expert
ments, and that wireless power will
be a reality in short time, avail.
able to everyone. This will be q
revolution indeed, and while it may
not fully develop for a few years
consider, if you can, what its develop.
ment will mean.-Spring Valley Sun

By virtue of our official positions
as representatives of the smaller
governing units of the state and
through our intimate contract with
local government, we know and APP
preciate to the fullest extent that
chief and foremost among the serious
problems confronting Wisconsin are:
l. The reduction of taxation which
has become almost unbearable and is
fast approaching the point of con-
fiscation.
2. A radical reduction in the num-
Der of offices, Office holders and state
and local employees.
3. Restoring and placing the adj
ministration Of all political units of
the state on common sense BUSH
nesslike basis.
A. A sound, comprehensive and
husinesslike management of the high
way finances of the state, present and
and prospective, to the end that A
state and county program may be
planned and revenue provided that
will lower the burden of general
property taxes.
5. The adoption of fair and
reasonable gasoline tax in order to
