numerous, although not serious. Higher tubes were developed and transformers introduced, and shocks became haz- ard. Special rooms were at first necessary, and a large amount of apparatus was needed. It was necessary then to trans port the patient to the apparatus. Those suffers whose condition forbade this were, through no fault or desire of their own, deprived of the X-ray bene- fits. *
 Among the early developments in X.ray work by Dr. Coolidge was the in- vention of the self-reciting tube. This led to the development during the war of portable set to be used by doctors in the field hospitals. A similar type was introduced after the war for the doctor to use at the bedside of the patient. Although it was portable it was not portable in the sense that the needed for transporting it and the case carrying the transformer unit weighed 43 pounds itself, or more than the complete new outfit.
 Later, development of smaller tubes and smaller transformers permitted mounting both in the same oil tank and resulted in the new type outfit. This new set is not designed to enter the field covered by the previous out fits but is intended for different class of work.
 Details Of Construction
 X casual glance is sufficient to show the ruggedness of construction of the new portable X-ray apparatus. It is mounted in substantial wooden casing, and there are no external parts to get out of order or become broken. There is only the cord to put in the light socket and a small hole from which the X-rays emerge making it absolutely fnolnroof. Dr. Coolidge carried one of

quantity of linen stored in the royal palace" she said. Our hospitals were in such condition that women were lying on dirty straw stacks and newly born children were wrapped in newspaper sheets. Soldiers were dying and lying on sacks without any linen to protect their wounds.
 Ordered Linen Seized
 ''The king had abdicated. The pal ace and its contents belonged to the na- tion. The thousands of yards of linen supplied to the king by the state from the taxes of the people thought should be turned over to the sick and wounded in the hospitals. I ordered the Red Cross to take possession of the linen and distribute it in this way"
 Count Karolyi, she asserted, foresaw disaster for Hungary with the coming of war and worked to secure sepa- rate peace with the allies and to com pei the Germans to conclude peace.
 'aThe revolution" she said, twas not due to Count Karolyi. It came as a result of the World war and the defeat of the central powers.
 "It was the reactionary element which brought bolshevism to Hungary. Bol- sheyism was overthrown by the Ruma- nians. Admiral Horthy established his reactionary regime in their wake" People do not realize" she con cluded, "that Hungary in it's present state is a volcanic crater which may erupt without a moments notice"

u,eased Wire to The Age.Herald)

| (Leased Wire to The Age-Herald) | NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Night life in Gotham along the diagnal thoroughfare known as Broadway is becoming a tame and sorrowful affair.
 Broadway remains the same old street with one end pushed down to within a few hundred yards of the bay at the battery and the other crashing through the last barrier of apartment houses to escape the ilsand altogether and push on northward, even as far as AL bany, as some of the more widely tray eled Broadwayites declare, but the diamond stomacher that the old high way used to sport twenty years ago has lost the genuine sparkle of brilliants and has become q glassy thing.
 Flowing through the financial district and into the region of eloaks and suits, Broadway blooms for forty famous blocks through the tenderloin district of smart hotels, theaters, night clubs and blind tigers.
 Lights Go Out
 It's a humping show of color so long as the suburban theater-goers and their kindred from the outlying boroughs of New York are around to be tempted to purchase Fit Ems underwear or Shine Fms tooth paste or the socks that stay whole, but when the crowds go home the sign lights go out and Broadway reverts to something dull and phony.
 The headquarters of the young-men's- going-about-and-ogling-girls society has been located on Broadway for years. During the war and for year or two after the armistice it looked as though the national officers would have to move the society's headquarters to

GAN CARRY X-RAY MACHINE AROUND
 LIKE A HAND BAG
Portable Instrument Can
 Now Be Attached To Any Light Plug

SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Nov. B. For years the X-ray has been the in valuable ally of surgery and medicine but now, with the perfection of new oil immersed portable outfit no larger than the small storage battery used by radio fans and weighing but 90 pounds, these invisible and penetrating rays promise to become of more general use. In fact this new X-ray machine, the invention of Dr. w. D. Coolidge and his associates in the research laboratory ot the General Electric company, may prove of great help to the building con tractor, the plumber, the electrician, etc., for it will now be just as easy to look through walls and floors of bu1ld- ings as it has been for doctor to see the bones of the human body. A--
 To use this new self-contained ap- paratus, confined in single box, seven by eight by ten inches, 1t is merely necessary to connect an ordl- nary extension cord to the nearest lamp socket or base plug of the household lighting circuit. X-rays are then pro- duced by simply pressing button or switch, similar to the kind used to turn on light in the home.
 Dr. Coolidge tells of how he has made use of the new outfit himself in his Own home. He desired to make some changes in the plumbing in his bathroom. Not knowing just the loca' tion of the pipes in the bathroom floor he placed the X-ray machine on the floor below so that the rays from the machine would project up against the ceiling directly under the bathroom Then by use of Horoscope, or what appears to be a piece of opaque glass on which appears the shadow pictures oi concealed objects, he walked about the bathroom and was able to see exactly how the pipes were laid beneath tht floor.
 The problem of the man who desires to hang a picture and doesn't know where to find solid place to drive thu nail, the electrician who desires to re model household wiring job and il not able to exactly determine where thu wires are located in the walls of cell ing, would likewise benefit by use oi this new machine. It would also prove a great help to the customs inspector HI SedTCnlnS TOT SeCFtI CHdlHUeIS II trunks and bags.
 This machine would also be of great help to the jeweler in examing precious stones to determine whether they ar' genuine. The crystal formation of al diamonds is the same and X-rays, un like light rays, have an identical effec on all diamonds, regardless of how tht stone may be cut. By shooting a smal beam of X-ray from the machine through a diamond the diffraction pat tern appears on the horoscope in thu form of small spots of light. These ar' always spaced exactly in the same form ation for all genuine diamonds. and thu jeweler could thus immediately deter mine if the stone was genuine. Tht same is true with sapphires and othel precious stones.

Ex-Prime Ministe S Daughter Is Hostess

Especial To Tie Age-Herald.)

LONDON, Nov. S.-Miss Ishbe l Macdonald, the ex-prime minister's cid est daughter and former hostess of No 10 Downing street, presided at the re cent opening ceremony of the first dry public house in London. It is being run under the auspices of the Rev. A Gilbert Adams, pastor of a church sln Poplar, and his wife.
 Some months ago MT. Adams be came disheartened at the number of unemployed men who were standing idly about the streets in his section of the city. He resolved to secure for them place to meet in.
 We've nowhere to go except the 'pubs,'" he was told. Then Mir. Adams spotted a man, who had previously said he was teetotaler, sitting at bar with a mug of beer before him.
 T thought you'd signed the pledge, MT. Adams said.
 "So I did," answered the man, "I'm not drinking this beer. But, I had tC buy something here, otherwise couldn't have come in and talked to my pals"
 Meanwhile c. Alexander, a big ship owner, who had been supporting MT Adaps's social welfare work, hearing of this need for a social center, tolt him if he could find suitable house he would help him finance the enter prise.
 A few days later MT. Adams learned the "Old Five Bells" one of the thirty pubs within five minutes walk of his church, was vacant. With the help ol Mir. Alexander and others he bought il and has reopened the place as socia center under a soft drink regime.
 Miss Ishbel was delighted with th' idea, as she is an ardent prohibitionist Lemonade, raspberry and other sof drinks stand on the counter there now and the place does a lively business Sixty years ago the "Old Five Bells was a country coaching inn, with hpsei around the door and barges floatin, down the river alongside.

JUDGE fAB IS TO JAIL sPUGILISTS

They ain't going to fight any more
 That might have been what Judge H. B. sAbernathy wanted to say Satur- day morning, but what he actually did say was this:
 ''The next time anybody stages a fight in my courtroom, they're going to go to jail for long time. If they've got to fight, let them go down to the B. A. O., where they get paid for it."
 These remarks were made Saturday morning after Judge "Ab" had fined City Detective T. A. Riley and Attorney Roderick Beddow $10 each and sus- pended sentences of A hours in jail on charges of contempt of court.
 The affair started last Wednesday morning when MT. Riley objected to the attempt by Mir. Beddow to have case continued. After an interchange of re- marks, the men came to blows.
