RADIO EXPERTS SEEK
 SHORT SPACE SENDING
Want 10 Transmit Between Engine And Caboose of Train But
 Cannot Do So.

Chicago, Aug. 21 R)-Whilc radio engineers go into spasms of delight over direct communication between the Malay Archipelago and the African gold coast, and between the far reaches of the Arctic area to the lower end of Lake Michigan, rail- road experts are searching eagerly for wireless equipment capable of maintaining reliable communication between the cab and caboose of freight trains.
 Thus far their inquest has been been in vain. I. C. Forshec. tele- graph engineer of the Pennsylvania system, today outlined the problems Of railroad wireless before the na- tional convention of the American Radio Relay league.
 He challenged fans with inventive bent to develop something suitable for railroad use.
 There is real need for better communication between engine and caboose of long freight trains, espe- cially during storms and foggy weather. There is already demand for two way service that is rci- able under all conditions. econom- lcal 10 install. maintain and operate, rugged to withstand railroad service conditions and relatively simple to operate"

SECURING GOLD IN
 LARGER AMOUNTS
German Scientists Making Prog. TeSS in Transmitting Metals

New York, Aug. q tP--Increas- ing success of German scientists in ohtaining gold from mercury is de- scribed in dispatches 10 the Ameri- can chemical society made public today
 Though far from being commef- cially profitable, the experiments of Professors Adolph Miethe and Stanmreich are now yielding 10000 times as much gold from the same amount of mercury as they did year ago.
 SuclI eminent d skcptic as Prof. Fritz liaher, whose synthetic am monia process played large part in German war plans, the society reports, has been won over.
 By the improved process cleCtri- cal discharges are sent between mercury electrodes in a dielectric, like paraffin. The cold is found in inc mercury atomized in inc spark path in tho ratio of one of gold 10 10000 parts of mercury From one kilogram of mercury one-tenth of q gram of gold can he obtained. Virtually al of the quicksilver is re- covered and Is used over and over again.

URGES OPEN DOOR
 FOR DEVELOPM PMENT
Institute Speaker Would Permit
 Exploration For Minerals

Williomstown, Mass, Aug q. R The "open door" policy in mineral development was urged for this country by Professor C. K Leith Of the University of Wisconsin al the last day of the Institute of Politics annual session here today Closing his round table conference on mine ral resources as q new environmentaI factor in world affairs, Dr. Leith said in part:
 "Ony q comparatively few centcrs Of minera production are capable of supplying world demands. and an immense amount of exploration and development are necessary to pre- vent shortage. Most Of the mineral regions awaiting development, out side the United States are being held back by some variety of closed door. This is a common source of political friction which sometimes becomes even cause for war
 This suggests certain fundamen- tals of mineral policy for the United States. These are, to learn the great international channels of diStrihu- ton and not to stop them by tariffs Or other enactmtnts, and to stand for the open door, which is needed not only for our national self interest but In much larger measure for ihc elimination Of international disCord and the best cOnserVational use of the worlds resources. The closed doors will in time be opened by world needs, whatever the temporary policies of government"
 Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-Amcrican union, wound up his round table on international relations with consideration of tho Monroe Doctrine, ike interpretation of which he thought should be made more definite n the minds of the American people
 Tt is evident" he said, that q great nation like the United States will find 1t necessary 10 develop new principles of foreign policy. but where these are necessary either on the American continent or elsewhere they should be promulgated as forming part of the foreign policy. They should not he able tn mas

 Three rallies with all the pie turesqus methods of old-ttme cam psigns yesterday aroused Broadway Greenwich Village and Brooklyn.
 State Senator James J, Walker, rammany candidate against Mayor Hylan, speaking at what hc called talk in the kitchen 10 the neigh bors," assailed the mayor and shouted
 Td rather stand on my record 'hsn caddy or understudy for windmill"
 Mayor Hylan invaded Brooklyn fin an attempt to stem rumb.ings of dis content. His county leader, John H, McCooey, warned that the Taumany Tiger must not be allowed to cross Brooklyn bridge.
 All republicans want Of hls "rog- ulsr" rival. Frank D. Waterman, Mr. Lyons told the crowd. Is his "foun- tain pen and-his pocket book"
 Mir. Waterman and his chief sup porter, Charles D. HilIes, who re- gards the democratic row as a Hearst-smith battle, took no part in the evenings noise.
 The Rev. Dr. Norman Thomas, so- cialist candidate, declared he was glad to see that most Of the candi- dates had been compelled 10 adopt blanks calling for municipal owner ship and operation of transit lines.
 Senator Walker said he would make his fight on his 18-year record at Albany.
 That's & record Of action" he said, "and let me tell you there's no blatherskiting in that. I'm for the fve-cent fare. I'll always be for 1t. I'm for the five cent fare with seat: not for the five cent fare with a strap"
 Mayor Hylan and hls friends used the Brooklyn rally for an attack on Tammany after four Brooklyn state senators had objected to an on- saught by the mayor on Governor smiths $500. 100000 bond issue pro- posal 10 eliminate railroad grade crossings. >t,,.
 Though T. have given Tammany leaders both recognition and patron- age" tho mayor said, "and extended every possible consideration, the in- fuence of the traction interests seems to have been greater than that of the man and public official who wanted 10 keep peace in the party"
 Mir, Lyons told his followers that while there were plenty of republi- can possibilities, including Dr, Nich- oIas Murray Butler, they were not properly persuaded.
 MT Waterman was selected 10 hll the breach" he said. "What they wanted Of Mir, Waterman was his fountain pen in one hand and his check book in the other. Let him lock up the check book and he will find out how popular he will be-"
