NEW RADIO RAY PROVES A SUCCESS
Messages Being Sent Between
 France and Argentina

Buenos Aires. Aug. ie, - The low power beam ray has been successfully used for the past two weeks for night transmissioa of regular commercial radio messages between France and Argentina, says an announcement is. sued today,
 The station at Saint Assiza. France, using only 10 kilowatts power and a wave length of s6 to 90 metres sent messages. which were received at Villa Elisa. Argentina. by means of a small receiving set in the offices of the trans.radia internationsis high power station.
 stili more remarkable. 1t Is stated, IS that the local station also received regular night traffic from Nauen, Germany. sent out by a three kilowat station which did not use the beam ray,
 The experiments are described as having demonstrated that low power transmitters which are unable during the day time to send messages such long distances as between Europe and Argentina work perfectly at night. and that high power stations still are necessary for day traffic.

joy of triumph was s.illed in the
labor of proving up.
And that labor is still going on,
and may go on for a year or more
before a definite announcement is
made. They have found two odors

The work ahead now is to carry on
the experiments with these odors, 20

produces them, to determine what
degree of the odor is most effective

who rarely has enough money to buy
his seasons supplies after his crop
is sold.
AS to the use that can be made
of the lure, how it can be made to
effectively draw the weevil to his
destruction, many experiments are
already under way. One method
might be to place it in a trap or
series of traps in a field. Another
would be to impregnate certain small
patches in a field with an intensified
distillate and when the weevils from
that vicinity were attracted to the
patch to apply arSenate poison.
This is as important as the main
discovery, but not nearly SO difficult
of solution.

How to make cheap and substan-

include kitchen, parlor. living room,
bathroom and three bedrooms.
"A company has already been
formed, and we propose either to
erect or make use of one of the ex-
listing factories at Crayford, near
Erith. We are now having two houses
made for inspection to the ministry
Of health
While Comdr. Burney will not
at present disclose the properties
of the material to be used. it is un-
derstood that no bricks, wood, IRON
work or paint are required in the
construction of the houses. They will
be supplied in sections-120 to a
house.
The various parts interlock and
dovetail SO easily that, with a little
mechanical skill. a family can erect
their house themselves.

as 1t may be, but extreme caution
and certain deviousness are essen

1t is quite possible that the situation
near Shanghai is of WI Pei Fu's

From Mukden, Chang Tso Lin has
been Illuminating terribly against
the Peking government and WI Pei

Lin has started his legions south

eastern Chilli and at Shanhai-kwan,
on the shore of the Liaotung Gulf,
where the Mukden-Peking railway
enters Chilli from Manchuria.
