was undergoing a most important and
somewhat radical change, which
proved that 1t was dependent upon
phenomena, in regard to which the
present understanding was, to large
degree, incomplete, and prominent
among which was the incapability
of long distance transmission of short
waves in daylight.
1T has been universally accepted"
he said, that short waves. while
often giving extraordinarily long
ranges by night, are incapable of be-
ing made to cover long distances
during daylight.
Il can well understand the utility
of on-direGtionaf stations for naval,
marine and broadcasting purposes,
but for ordinary efficient communica-
ton between fixed PLACES or between
particular countries, L think the
logical thing to do, IL possible, at
both points, with a view to security
and economy, is to concentrate all
the radiated energy into direct beams.
1t may be necessary, in the near
future, to regulate by internati tional
Legislation the use of short waves
and to safeguard them from pre-
ventable Interference
The short wave beam system, he
asserted, would also permit transmits

U. S. BRINGS CHARGE
AGAINST RUBBER co.
Violation of Clayton Act Alleged
in Complaint Based on Fisk
Federal Merger.

The Fisk Rubber CO. of Chicopee
Falls, Mass. was charged with VIOLA
ton of the Clayton antitrust laws in
a complaint issued today by the Fed
eral Trade Commission, Commiss iQn er
Van Fleet dissenting.
The company, described as "a manu-
facturer of tires for automobiles;
trucks, motor cycles and bicycles, of
inner tubes and other rubber prod
ucts, was charged with substantially
lessening competition by acquiring
approximately 81 per cent of the
stock or share capital of the Federal
Rubber Co. Of Cudahy, Wis. The lat
ter concern, it was alleged, previously
had taken over the physical assets Of
the Federal Rubber Manufacturing
Co. of Cudahy. The usual 80 days is
allowed in which to answer the COM
plaint.
In his dissenting opinion against
issuance of the complaint, Commits
sioner Van Fleet held that, prior to

the alleged stock transaction, the eyi-
dence did not show there. had been
any really "substantiaP' competition
between the two companies.
Where there Is any competition at
all between two combining COM
panies, it is always substantially les
sened in the sense given the statute
by the majority. There being no al
legation that the competition between
the companies was Substantial it
may well be that the competition was
unsubstantial and inconsequential,

rules of pleading, such would be the
presumption"

Marconi Says Short Wave
Beam System Will Come
Into General Use.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, December 12.--Powerful
long-waye wireless stations will soon
be found uneconomical and compara-
lively inefficient for long-distance
commercial communications. and Will
be succeeded by relatively low-poWer
stations using the short wave-beam
system, it was declared last night by
the inventor, William Marconi, in Il
speech before the Royal Society OF
Arts.
The completely successful tests in
the last two months with the United
States, Canada, Brazil. Argentina,
Australia, India and South Africa

teen kilowatts power, Signor Marcohi
said, indicated the possibility of in

Jack and Solomon were the whole

his hanger-an old Damascus blade in

his long musket and an abundant store

says that Mr.. Adams complimented
them when they left the stand.

Solomon was sOOn TO meet an officer
with whom he was to find the amplest
scope for his talents. Jack was on his
way to Philadelphia. They had found
the ship crowded and Jack and two
other boys plugged tOgether"-in the
expressive phrase of that time-on the
cabin floor, through the two nights Of
their journey. Jack minded not the
hardness Of the floor. but there was
pounding of the common law in the for
ward end of the cabin, which often in
t~errupted his slumbeTs.
He took the boat to Amboy as Ben
famin Franklin had done, but without
mishap. and thence travelled by stage
to Burlington. There he met Mr.. John
Adams of Boston. who was on his way
70 Philadelphia. He was a full-faced,
ruddy. strong-built man of about thirty
five years, with thick. wavy dark hair
that fell in well-trimmed tufts on
either cheek and almost concealed his
ears. It was beginning to show gray.
He had a prominent forehead, large
blue and expressive eyes and a voice
clear and resonant. He was hand
somely dressed.
Mr.. Adams greeted the boy warmly
and told him that the testimony which
he and Solomon Binkus gave had saved
