FORD PLANT SLOWS UP.
Inventory Period
Thought Probable Reason.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-The
sharp curtailment Of activity at the
Detroit plants OF the Ford Motor Co.
and expectation that the virtual close
down would continue until after Janu-
ary / caused widespread comment
among automotive engineers here to-
day.
The engineers are practically unani-
nous in the belief that the action
was not taken in anticipation of the
production Of a six-cylinder car in
January and a 12-cylinder model next
June. They say that to adapt the
Ford River Rouge plant to such pro-
duction seems a task too stupendous
even for the Ford genius. but they
add that he has done things before
that everybody thought impossible.
II wouldn't put it past him" was the
way one executive of a rival COM

CABLE RATES MAY
SOON Be REDUCED
Introduction of "Beam" Sys.
tenn of Wireless Has
Many Possibilities.
BY j. c. ROYLE..

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2.-Estab.
lishment of the Marconi beam" sys.
tenn of wireless transmission of COM
mercial and press messages between
London and New York Is a matter
of weeks. That was the opinion today
of radio engineers who have completed
a. study Of the system as operated at
present between London and Montreal
What effect it's Inauguration will
have on cable and ordinary wireless
ransmission Is problematical Many
communication engineers feel that 1t
Will mean simply an increase in the
number Of messages sent without det.
riment to present systems. just as was
the case with the establishment of
airplane mail services.
Rate Cut Forecast.
Some engineers, on the other hand,
declare 1t will result in a sharp cur
tailment of rates. At any rate, the
cable and wireless companies are pro-
ceedlng with programs of expansion
or present systems. The Marconi
beam" system has now been in oper
alton between London and Montreal
for one month. 1t has shown a speed
of 200 words a. minute without possi-
hility of human error in transmission
corded there in dots and dashes on an
endless tape. from which it is trans
ferred to message blanks as fast as
relays of typewriters will permit.
In the months test there has not
been an hour when the system has
not functioned perfectly. The public
in England and Canada was quick
TO realize it's advantages and in the
last four weeks the volume Of mes
sages has doubled.
System Considered Simple.
The beam" system. still a mystery
to many, is easily explained. BY
ordinary methods Of wireless broad-'
casting, electrical oscillations are
generated in an aerial system from
which energy is radiated in the form
Of electrical waves which spread
simultaneously in all directions. The
energy Of each wave or series Of
waves is thus dispersed more widely
the further each wave travels from
its source until only a small amount
of the total energy can be inter-
cepted at the receiving point 1t is
for this reason that reception of
programs from distant stations on
an ordinary receiving set is weaker
than from nearby stations.
II. NJ. Short, managing director of
the Canadian Marconi Co., said
today that 24-hour service had been
maintained between Montreal and
London since the Inauguration Of
the beam system at minimum
speed of 100 words a minute. Ex-
periments are now being made with
a printer which automatically de-
codes the messages from dots and
dashes and prints them out in plain
English at a speed OF ITS words a
minute.

the happy couples were on Easy
street again and ir a hurry to set
up housekeeping.
But times were ali right in 1924.
Prosperity was the slogan ON
which President Coolidge was re-
elected that year The only conclu.
sion Director Steuart can draw is
that it was period during which
welded bliss had, for the time being,
lost something of it's sentimental
appeal.
In 13 out of the As states the
number OF marriages did increase
even in 1924. What brought the total
down was the decline in the other 35.
Now, why was there an increase
in those 13?
Director Steuart's Interpretation is
that the 13 states have marriage
laws which are not very strict, while
they adjoin states which are very
strict indeed.
