and they are stimulating educational

increased productivity as the only
means to improve the economic con-
dition of Germany with its burden
of war debt, with the other side of
the picture. They intend to be armed
with such facts as the higher efficien-
cy of American industry, the saving
of manpower by better machinery and
the higher wage and living standards
of the American workers.
To Attend Convention.
In the next two months they will
inspect the great centers of industry,
including Pittsburgh, Detroit, New
York and Chicago, to contrast Ameri-
can methods with those of Germany
and to gather ammunition to answer
the industrialists of their own coun-
try as to the future economic policy
of Germany as it will affect the Ger
man workers.
Members of the delegation were en-
phatic that the German labor move
ment, in addition to being the most
highly organized of any nation, has
recovered, since with Americas aid
and the assistance of American labor
unions, the decentralization Of currency
was checked.
S-Hour Law Maintained.
The 8-hour law for all Germany put
into effect Immediately after the rev.
olution in 1919, has been maintained
generally. The visitors were amazed
when on arrival in New York City
they saw shops open all night or well
after dark. In the German cities the
organized clerks see that promptly at
7 p. m. every shop and small or big
department store is shut. In this
they are supported by government
decree.
They were particularly interested in
the working of prohibition in this
country for they had heard many con-
flicting reports as to its practical re-
suits. 1t was learned that the Ger
man trade unions have been instru-
mental in making effective a tenn
perance movement by appealing to
the ideals of the workers. They still
have good beer and lots Of it, but the
consumption of hard liquor has been
much curtailed. Drunkenness, which
was the curse of Germany, has been
so reduced that it is uncommon for
any workman not to report on Mon
dayday morning fit for work, a very
usual condition before the new spirit
took hold.
New Type of Workman.
Their entire emphasis now is to
give the worker better, fuller life,

Underground Radio in
Maryland Heard in West

on.-Announcement that he
had succeeded in reaching the Pacific
coast with radio signals from the un-
derground transmitting set with which
he has been experimenting for several
years was made here by DR.. James Fl.
Rogers.
His efforts to obtain reception of the
waves from his underground station
at Hyattsville, Nd, near here, on the
coast, after previously reaching points
as far west as New Mexico, were
crowded with success recently, Doc
tor Rogers said, when he received
telegram from an amateur signal sta
tion operator at Los Angeles saying
the signals were coming in finely"
The underground antenna used in
the tests, in conjunction with a set of
350-watt tubes, consists of four cables
laid from different directions as the
spokes of a wheel Doctor Rogers said
he hoped to accomplish transoceanic
broadcasting with a 600-foot cable an
tenna he intends to lay. He contends
the earth crust is more efficient me-
dunn for transmitting radio waves than
the air.

Parachute, Keep Wits

New York.-After a series Of tests
at Mitchell field, army flying officers
said that the theory that person fall
ing from great height loses con-
sciousness during the descent had been
disproved.
Sergt. Randall l.. Bose and Corporal
Arthur Bergo went up In bombing
plane and, coached by Lieut.. M. L.
Elliott, parachute officer, performed
four delayed parachute jumps. Each
man, on the first jump. fell 1000 feet
before opening his parachute. while
Sergeant Bose dropped 800 feet on his
second leap.
Both said that, though they were
falling with terrific velocity when they
opened their parachutes, they were
fully conscious.

Electric refrigeration Gre
ates dry cold which is the ideal
atmosphere in which to preserve

Electric refrigeration is
automatic. When the tempera-
ture falls to a certain degree
the motor stops, when the tenn

from a tough fiber with the rough
