RADIO BEAM HERE
Inventor Says New System Is
Superior to Cables in All
Ways Except Secrecy.

An important step in the progress
of transatlantic radio-communication
and in the development or radio
telephony and the transmission of pho
tographs is seen in Guglielmo Mar
coni's latest invention to restrict radio
emanations from sending stations to
single beam, which. he explained at
the international radio conference here
yesterday. would increase the strength
of incoming signals from 100 to 200
times.
The effect of this. he said, was that
all the energy of transmitting stations,
which under ordinary circumstances
would have been spread in all direc-
tions, was concentrated along this
beam. In transatlantic communication
between this country and England, he
added, the beam system had strength.
ened messages 100 times. To obtain
the same strength of incoming signals
without directional transmission the
sending power would have had to be
increased 10000 times, he explained
adding that this would have been un.
feasible. o.
Sees Cables Outdone.
Since the success of radiotelephony
and Photographic transmission are
dependent upon the strength of the
incoming signals, Marconi declared
he considered his experiments with
beam transmission as basis for the
Improvement of the science.
Asked whether wireless would ever
completely replace the cable, Marconi
said the latter had only the advantage
of secrecy, but that with the beam
system secrecy is practically absolute
In radio, since words are transmitted

ference yesterday banished restrictive
regulations cramping his activities
when the United States, joined by Can

land, moved for formal recognition of
the international status of amateurs.
They suggested that a special band

There was no opposition to the pro-

SiciIian on Trial as Leader of

TERMINI IMERESE, Sicily. Octo.
ber 20.-The deposition of the alleged
ringleader of an infamous gang at
tached to the dreaded Malta, who
looks more like a dive keeper than
the comic opera conception of a. ban
dit chief, today was before the court
which is trying him and 152 others
for various crimes from murder to
blackmail.
Salvatore Ferrarello, the alleged
chieftain, resolutely denied, as his
four brothers had before him, par
ticipating in the crimes imputed to
the gang.
Jury Scans Letters.
Threatening letters, which he is
accused Of having sent, were passed
to the jury for inspection. AS he
heard these described he stroked his
black mustache and gazed con.
temptuously about him. Once he was
sharply rebuked by the presiding
judge when he attempted to criticize
the police and the examining magis-
trate before whom he had come
earlier.
Salvatore is a. short, wiry, suave
fellow, with piercing black eyes. His
oiack muStache is not of stage
proportions. During his examination
he sported a soft white collar, COM
paratively clean, which definitely re-
moved him from the apache class,
who stand trial collarless on principle.
Salvatore was mild of manner and
deft OF gesture. Whether or not this
was due to his recent illness in jail,
he seemed to fulfill his rugged old
bandit uncle's description, uttered on
his death bed: my nephew Saliva
tore was once member Of my
band, but I afterward dispensed with
his services because he was not suf.
ficiently energetic"
Salvatore's bland contention that
those worldly goods that came his
way were inherited from his uncle
Gaetano evoked smiles from those
in the courtroom who. knew the old
brigand's past. Gaetano was "on
the run" for 33 years, having started
his career of crime by shooting a
pugilist whom he suspected of paving
attention to his inamorata. There
after he stayed in the mountains or
in gullies which led to the sea. His
brother Santo supplied him With food
and ammunition for II years while
he hid.

Markets For Milk Products
(Minneapolis Tribunel


! There is going the rounds a new item which
should be interesting if not quieting to those
who have harbored fear that the dairy and
milk business might be overdone.
This item has to do with ice cream Of which
1t is said the people of the United States con-
sumed 100000 more gallons in 1926 than in
the previous year. or an aggregate Of 1885,
OOO gallons. An increase of this kind was not
peculiar to 1926. There has been steady
growth in the consumption of ice cream for
nearly two decades.
prohibition may have had something to do
with this expansion of the ice cream business.
but it is safer and probably more accurate to
attribute 1t to what has come to be called ed,-
catlonal campaigns, and to the ingenuity of
persons whose talents We're used to good effect
IN increasing the sales of ice cream.
The ice cream cone and ice cream confec
tons OF various kinds have done a great deal
to increase consumption of the frozen sweet.
IN ADDITION to these is the great volume of pub.
Lefty relating to the high value of the prod
uct OF cows as human food, if the product be
clean and pure. And as for that, there is
more sanitary milk today than ever before, due
to the rigid regulations which government Of
ficials and health authorities insist on in re-
spect Of the production and handling of milk
supplies.
There is no reason to believe the American
people have reached the zenith of their use Of
milk. There is reason to think the contrary
when one considers what has been going on
in the milk and milk product business. We
have improved our method Of shipping milk
and milk products long distances. Railroad
service for this kind of traffic, as for others,
is on a higher plane of efficiency. This is a
reassuring fact for the people Of natural dairy
regions because there are other regions where
the dairying industry is limited and probably
always will be so. It widens the available
market for dairy products.
Milk is a nutritive food. Relatively it is a
cheap food, and there is no dissent from the
statement that pure milk is healthful food.
1t is interesting in this connection to note how
many members of so-called service and civic
clubs choose "half and half" with crackers or
waters in preference to meat and vegetable
courses at their weekly luncheons, and pay the
same price for it. Expansion of the ice cream
business is but one phase of expansion of milk
consumption, but it is an important index to|
the potentialities.

Discovery Day

Discovery Day fittingly marks the landing
on American shores Of two great explorers
Christopher Columbus and Lief Eirikson. For
that reason, it can be rightfully considered a
holiday to be singled out as marking two par
ticularly important events in the life Of the
new world.
Most of all, Discovery Day gives every one
of us an opportunity to go back into history
and reread Of the trip across the wide expanse
of water in flimsy little boat that Columbus
made It gives us a chance to review the part
Lief Eirikson had in the discovery of the North
American continent.
Two great figures in North American his
tory are Columbus and Eirkson. But we do
not think enough about them. It would be
well if we all once again read the tales of these
two men. Those who do will realize to the
fullest extent the stupendousness of their
achievements.

The new masters of Alsace are making Nc
such mistake. In the public schools French
will be the main language taught, as matter
Of course. This will be done because it is the
language of the nation to which Alsace has
been annexed. 1t will be done also because in
after life it will enable the children to move in
to any part Of France or it's colonies and speak
fluently the current tongue.
On the other hand, from now on German will
be taught beginning in the second year OF
school, Also, if the parents desire it, the chill
dren will be taught their catechism in German.
The French school authorities have wisely rec
ognized the fact that Germanc dialect has
remained the spoken language of most of the
people Of Alsace and is generally the language
of the church for the great creeds.
Being logicians, the French are going to face
facts. They are not going to try to force the
natives to speak only one language as did the
Germans. They are going to make the coming
generations bilingual, which is all to the good
for a frontier people, who do business both
with France proper and with Germany.

Editorial Comment
Reasonable Preparedness
(St. Paul Daily News)


Secretary Work took occasion few days
ago to warn the oil industry that it could look
for government interference if it failed to stop
the wasteful, useless production which now
characterizes its operations.
Secretary Work does not overstate the case
or the remedy that must be applied.
NO industry has right to jeopardize the
public interest for private gain
No industry has right to waste resource
that is known to be limited.
General Summerall calls for reasonable
preparedness, for a peacetime military estab-
lishnent that would be capable of rapid and
efficient expansion in case of war.
Like Secretary Work, he does not overstate
the case.
Apparently, the United States is being forced
INTO preparedness against it's will.
A decade seems enough for the world to for
get what preparedness means.
Few nations are ready to disarm on the land
England is willing to make only few conces.
slons by way Of disarmament on the sea, and
Mussolini wants to build an empire
Preparedness includes more than military OF
naval establishments because war includes
more than the mere fighting machinery.

rial and industrial enterprises quite as much
as on guns and battle fleets
