Chilson first conceived the idea Of
locating ore bodies by radio in 1904,
at Goldfeld, New. He first found
that sulphides-such as copper-were
the best conductors and that copper
ore deposits. even when separated
by earth. water or other electrical
conductors, were themselves capable
of maintaining electrical continuity
or contact.

ton is brief:
Contact is made upon sulphide ore

WIDER ROADS, NOT LAWS, TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS
1t is apparent that the world was not made safe for
democracy by waging war. 1t should be apparent that roads
can not be made safe for pedestrians or motorists by waging
war against the latter by %prohibitive speed regulations or
drastic police rulings.
The motor car and truck have come to stay. They have
come to stay because they save time, make speed. Eliminate
the speed and the timesavng from motor cars and men would
go back to horses.
If the speed and the time-saving result in maimings and
killings; if accidents and injuries follow the use of trucks on
destroy the very factors Of these instruments of transporta-
ton which make them vital to our modern life.
The answer is plain; most people who have studied the
question see it, and many acknowledge it. But it is not much
talked about, because, forsooth, the politician breads to say
anything which may be construed as advocating more taxes,
spending more money. Had the politician of twenty years ago
advised farmers to spend five hundred or a thousand dollars
for a new ''team'' to save time, he would have been defeated
for office!
But the answer must be made, and we, as a people, must
see it, approve it, pay for it. The answer is wider roads; roads
with high and low speed divisions; roads which can carry
modern traffic!
Not all roads, of course. But the main roads, the we'll
travelled roads, the intercity roads, the roads connecting State
with State and county with county-these, either now or later,
must be made wide enough to carry the present and the future
the motorists of freedom from accident, and traffic the posi-
biity of making time without danger to anyone.
When the automobile was new, people cried out against
hard surface highway appropriations as ''cass legislation for
speeders." Now the people know that hard surface highways
are for them, first, for the 'speeders" afterwards. But we
all want to make time, save time, go fast enough to get the
benefit OF our cars. Let us stop crying out against the added
expense of the wide highway, which alone can make motor
transport safe for us ALL National Highway assn.

"FISH OR CUT BAIT"
(From the Wyoming State Tribune)

1t has been a question of many years whether or not it
was good policy for the United States Senate to go on trying
to transact business without limiting debate. The will of the
majority is often defeated, much valuable time consumed and
it is made possible for a small minority to throttle legislation
demanded by the people Of the nation. AT this time the peo-
pie believe that there is too much delay in taking action upon
important bills pending in the Senate. Wyoming''s senior
Senator is in charge OF appropriation bills that are from day
to day discussed. There is no man in the Senate that is more
capable of turning off work or who is more constant in his
exasperates him more than delay, endless delay. The Con
gressional Record of the 14th inst. shows him insistently
pressing for night sessions in order that the work in hand
may be pushed forward to completion. 1t says:
'MR. WARREN. Mr.. President, 1 do not think there is
any disposition to cut off proper debate at any time, but it
seems to me that the Senate must either meet promptly in
the morning, or it must run its business into the night hours
or it must cease some of this important debate-I will admit
son this year. Think of the spectacle of the Senate of the
United States taking in the usual way a recess until IL O'Clock
having the Sergeant at Arms and his employees running in
every direction for Senators and, finally, compelling the lead
er of the minority on the other side of the chamber to move
an adjournment until II O'Clock. This could have been done
on either side of the Chamber, so far as that is concerned,
the spectacle to the country and the show we made of our

work, we will be accused of flibustering, and we cannot ex-
that, or any other Senator, but the country will believe il, and
we will soon have to believe it ourselves. | will have to be-
lieve it, so far as | am concerned, because l know we can get
here in the morning if we like, and l also know that we can
stay here at night, whether we like it or not.
l am perfectly ready, so far as l am concerned, to come
to any reasonable agreement as to the time tomorrow or to-
morrow night, or whenever it can be arranged, when the
amendment shall be submitted and voted on. OF course, as l
said, / am going to yield to whatever the Senate wants to have
done. l am always ready to take its orders, but l still say,
and / think it will not be disputed by my friend from Nevada,
that we either Ought to fish or cut bait to use the farmers
phrase. We ought to be here to talk or here to act, or else
say that we cannot and recess for a few days or for a week
until we shall finally be able to work"
Recently n writer for one of the great magazines of the
country made reference to some of the workers in Congress
and complimented Senator Warren for his untiring energy,
saying that he was ever able to come in on his own steam. If
more members of the Senate had his ability and energy there
would be less delay in the transaction of the public business.
