Mystery Signals
Heard Over Radio
Wireless Experts Speculate on
Possibility of Origin on

Vancouver, 3. c.. Aug. 22.-Myste-
rious signals picked up by Point Grey
wireless station here during the last
week eliminated Thursday in a
strange group Of sounds, causing
wireless experts here to wonder If
the planet Mars is trying to estab-
lish communication with the earth.
Four distinct groups of four dashes
each came through the ether, the
operator .tated. The signals, they
said, were in no known code, starting
on a low note and ending with a
"zipp" and that neither a spark nor
a continuous wave was responsible
for the sounds.
C. w. Mellish and w. T. Burford,
operators of long experience. state
they have never previously encount-
cred such messages. The puzzling
signals cut in on their regular mes
sages and every known method of
getting nd of the disturbance was
tried without success.
1.-The fact that l distinctly got four
groups Of four dashes convinced me
that some ineligible communication
force was at work." Mr.. Burford said.

members of the Continental club Fri

"Tolstoi was unique in Russian it,

The doctor gave a sketch of the

in an automobile accident while tour.

in two cablegrams.
One cablegram was sent by Nc

about so miles north of Glasgow. The
second cablegram was sent from the
Trossach's hotel at the head of the

Mr.. George, vacationing in Alexan-

and sent word to Scotland to have
the body sent to Galesburg, ILL.,, the
home of Miss George.
Miss George sailed for Europe In
June on a tour of the continent and
the British Isles. She had almost
completed her trip and was making
ready to return home. Miss George
was well-known in Omaha. having
spent many winters here.
She was the sister of the late ]. E.
George who was killed in an auto
mobile accident at Fairmont, Neb.,
three years ago and also sister OF
Mrs. George d. Tunnicliff. who died
last winter following an operation.

But the trial is telling on them. The

Gray hairs fleck their sleek heads.

All through the long trial the

But they realize fine clothes must

And 1t is telling on them.

Women Fight Hardest.
In the wild mob that fought to
gain admission, women were the hard.

that bailiffs would be less severe on
women, a number of them punched
together and made a mass attack.
They forced their way into the court
room. Men could not have done 1t.

than his dastardly attempt to hang
these boys"
DIR. krohn was one Of the states
alienists who testified Leopold ant
Loeb were sane and accountable fol
their crime. He went on:
'The states attorney has said We
pleaded guilty here because we were
afraid to do anything else. That is
true. 1t is not correct, however, that
we would have defended these boys
and asked for an acquittal. We have
been fair with this court. We have
said that to the public and to this
court that neither the parents nor the
lawyers want these boys released. We
have said that society will be protect.
ed against them. And we meant it.
1--WE are asking this court to save
their lives"
~ To Finish Monday.
Mr.. Darrow talked long after the
usual hour for court to recess. He
will resume his argument tomorrow
hes may finish then or he may have
more to say Monday. Darrow has a
lot to say. The judge is giving him
all the time he requires.
States Attorney Robert L. Grove
will follow Mr.. Darrow. He will re-
new the states demand that Leopold
and Loeb expiate their crime on the
gallows. But when Mr.. Grove would
present his argument was doubtful
tonight. Certainly he will not get a
chance to talk before Monday. Tues.
day appears to be earliest date that
the ease can go to Judge Caverly for
decision. The morning session today
was used by Walter Bachrach de.
fense counsel, in concluding his argu-
ment begun yesterday. He attacked
the testimony Of the states alienists,
contending their examination of the
defendants had been superficial.
1T was as il a doctor were to ex.
anime mans left hand and report
that he found no injuries to the right
hand,' he argued. What would that
testimony, be worth in the face OF posi-
tive testimony by another doctor that
examination of the right hand had
disclosed wound?"
Admits Slayers Intelligent.
He admitted that the slayers were
intelligent, adding:
Our argument is that the very
speed with which their minds de-
veloped contributed to the split in
their personalities. since their emo
tionai lives did not develop at a cor
responding rate"
He resented the states argument
that Leopold should be punished be-
cause of his boast that he was a
"super man. above the law" He said:
I'VE are not defending his philoso-
ply, We contend that his belief in
himself as a super man Is evidence
that his mind Is not functioning prop
erly."
The young defendants appeared en-.
couraged by the arguments of Mr..

shall sse the transmission disappear
altogether and the car in general
reach a state of perfection which at
the present moment is unnecessary.
Traffic offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for intensive study and test
ing Of highways. Today we can learn
moro about new type of road In
one month than we could learn In a
year when there were fewer cars.
Early in this year rubber block
pavement was laid on the Northern
Avenue Bridge. In Boston. over a sec
ton of approximately $50 square
feet The traffic is SO heavy over
this point that it took but a month
or so to discover that the new type
of paving is going to stand up. AS
an additional and more intensive test,
a new section has been laid at a point
where l 900 cars pass in each direc-
ton hourly.
Traffic is stimulating progress in
Legislation as well. Laws and ordi-
nances which should have been put
on the books years ago are hastened
by necessity. and at the same time
many Anticipated ideas are being dis
carded. Instead of taking 10 years to
reach conclusions we are reaching
them in one, frequently in fractions
of a year. Traffic may seem like a
matter OF delay, but in reality 1t is a
speeding up process that is doing
much to benefit motordom."
