TOUSE BEAM RADIO
Short-Wave System to Link
Two Countries Within
Month.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 5.-A wireless
transmission system enabling photo
graphs and complete messages to be
tossed across the ocean at a speed 10
times greater than any yet attained
will be placed in operation within
month between New York and Lon
don.
The Radio Corporation Of America
has announced it will adopt the beam
or short-wave method, now success
friJy used by the Marconi Co. in Eng
land. and expressed the belief that
within three years the system VIII
link the worlds leading cities with
radio communication on a facslclle
basis.
Uses Shorter Wave Length.
The beam system differs from the
method of transmitting photographs
now in use in that 1t uses a snorter
wave length and that listening In
is impossible. ,o
, The beam system uses wave
length of from Is to 80 meters, Whiie
! the long-wave system now in use
operates on 10000 to 10000 meters
! The beam system has speed equlva'
iant TO 2So words a minute, while the
J Iong.waye method has maximum
j sneed of about 100 words minute and
only half this speed actually is at
tanned in commercial use.
Through the present method mes
/ sage to London is thrown to the world
! the impulses from the transmltter
going simultaneously in all directions
! hut with the beam system the mes
sage can be picked up only at the
! point TO which the beam is directed:
The beam system was developed py
the Marconi Co. and has been In sue
cessful use for many months between
England, Canada, South Africa and
Australia. The radio corporation has
nern experimenting with the system
for serveral years and has developed
it's own beam apparatus, differing
somewhat from that Of Marconi.
Not Hurt by Static.
Perfection Of the system is expected
70 result in clearer radio photographs
as the system is not affected by static
which causes the blurred effect.
Radio engineers, however, point out
that much research still remains to be
done. The long wave. they say, is re
liable to a high degree, and While the
beam system is immune to static 1T Is
afflicted with other troubles whose
nature is not even known to science
causing the system at times TO com
pletely fade out.

4STO[EN" JEWELS
FOUND IN CHICAGO.
Gems Are Reported Recover
ed in victims" Clothes,
Others Return MysteriousIy.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, August 5.-The wander
ing jewels of Mrs. David Cummings Of
Long Beach, Long Island, and her
sister, Mrs. J. B. Smith Of st. Louis,
Mo-, today offered Chicago police some
thing to think about.
The women reported the Jewels, val
ued at 5000, were stolen from them
as they returned from cabaret party
early yesterday. While they were tell
ing their story the police found q ring,
reported stolen, in a purse one Of the
sisters carried. Further search I'm.
covered other jewelry concealed in the
women's clothing.
Man Calls Police.
That was the first complication.
Then, after the police had decided to
hold the sisters and their escorts of
the cabaret party-Morris Harris and
Harry Davis-an unnamed man COM
municated to Detective Chief William
O'Connor that he would see that the
missing jewels were returned.
This third party made a rendezvous
with O'Connor in front of the Wrigley
| Building, where he said he would turn
over the missing gems-the bulk of
the tewelry the women insisted had
| been taken. While O'Connor was
keeping the Wrigley Building appoint.
ment a man sauntered into detective
headquarters, laid a parcel on the
| chiefs desk and departed.
Women Are Released.
O'Conner returned, disappointed.
and found the jewelry intact in the
parcel.
The women were released, but the
police held the jewels while they con-
| tinued their investigation on the
theory that the two men had conspired
| to rob the women after inveiglinG
them into the cabaret party. Harris
l they learned, was engaged to a cousin
/ Of the women and had followed the
sisters here from South Haven, Mich,
where they had been visiting their
mother, Mrs. Ada Goldberg.

RELIEF
PLAN OFFERED
Lower ssissippi Con-
troll to Cost 296
Million

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dee. s.-tP
Placing to full support Of his ad-
ninistration behind it, President
Coolidge today transmitted to con-
gress the army engineers plan for
controlling Mississippi river floods.
The proposal deals with the lower
valley alone, from Cairo, Ills, to the
gulf. and would cost $296, 400 900 to
be expended in ten years. 1t pro-
vides for a spillway above New Or
leans. diversion floodways in the
Atchafalaya and Tensas basins in
Louisiana, a river floodway from
Cairo TO New Madrid. Missouri, the
strengthening and raising OF exist
ing levees and the sta5ilization Of
the river channels.
The federal government would
hear eighty per cent Of the cost Of
the control project estimated at a
total Of sls5. 100000 and all OF the
Sill 100000 expense for stabiliza-
tion and mapping Of the channel.
The valley states would assume 20
per cent Of the flood control cost.
The national government now pays
only 66 2-3 per cent of flood control
costs.
Although the lower courses of the
Mississippi's tributaries directly
connected with its sorcalled alluvial
valley are included in the plan. the
problem of controlling the floods Of
those streams is left for the future
until the army engineers complete
their survey authorized by the last
congress. The construction Of res
ervoirs Is deemed "too costly by the
report Ia proportion tc their value
Is flood control measures.
