The theory is that the nitrogly-

the water will cool the crater with

the transmission Of news. In 1914
the Associated Press established the
first successful printer circuit. This
was in the metropolitan area of
New York. Two years later it put
into operation the first long-dis-

between New York and Boston. The
early equipment was rather crude
and complicated, but was rapidly
improved until today, it is a com

Big
DAY FOR SCOUTS.
Various Local Troops Compete
in 'Wahihi'-Boys Do Good
Turn For City

Saturday proved to be . big day
for Bismarck Scouts. In the morn
ing approximately 100 scouts met
at the playground Of the William
Moore school grounds to complete in
q contest called "Wahihi," an In
dian name meaning soft snow. "
Troops 2, 3, 6, z, 9 and 10 were
represented. Because Of their size,
troops 8 and 10 combined in the
contest.
The first event was Z dog team
relay in which seven scouts pulled
the eighth on q sled. Troop 6
crossed the finish line first to
give its credit for five points. Troop
2 took second; troop 3, third; and
troop z, fourth.
The second event was an exciting
one which proved to the boys that
= knot must hold when rescuing q
person from the ice. Seven boys
tied ropes together from the short
lire, threw the combined ropes to
the "victim" and pulled him in. If
their rope held. Troop s took first,
rescuing their scout after So Sec
onds; Troop 3, second; troop $40
third; and troop 2, fourth.
The third event was q sled ante
lope race, with seven scouts holding
each others belts and pulling the
eighth across the ice on a sled.
There were several pile-ups and
ties. The final results gave first
place to troop 2, second to troop 8;
third to troop 6. and fourth To
troop 90.
The fourth event was a verbal
message relay and was won by
trof :, 9-10. Troop 2 took second;
troop 6, third; and troop 5. fourth.
The message was; Last night
policeman buried q man in a cellar
at IL o'clock midnight. One final
version was "A man bought some
steak at the central at midnight"
Another "a policemen met in q
cellar"
A tug-of-war contest in the mud
was exciting and interesting, es-
pecially when the line broke and
several scouts landed in the sloppy
remains Of a snow drift. The final
contests gave first place to troop
5; second, troop 6; third, troop 2;
and fourth $40.
The final event was q relay race
around the block with eight scouts
in each team. Troop 6 came in
first with a scout from troop 2
about q foot behind. The scout from
troop 3 had a shorter nose than his
opponent from troop 2 or he would
have had second place. The fourth
scout to cross the line was scout
from troop z who had to finish on
the walk. It was the highest race
Of the day and tied troops 2 and 8
for second place for the Wahihi.
Another. relay race was run off to
decide this place. Troop 2 again

When the pins meet the tape the
points passing through the pune
lures set up selectivc impulses or
marking current" which passes to
the line. When no punctures are
made. the pins are held down and
perform no selective function.
Where five punctures exist no let
ter is made because the selective ap-
parattis is stationary. Five small
magnets on the left side of the
machine at receiving stations take
the impulses in synchronism.
On being energized, the magnets
push slightly to the right one or
more of the notched bars. This
action opens a groove directly I'M
der the code bar of the letter Sc
lected. AS the bar drors into the
notch, it is pushed sharply forward
by another part of the apparatus
moving in unison with the previous
operation, and the work of record
ing the letter is completed. Mean
while the other code bars are held
in position. The whole operation is
performed in a fraction Of a second
but so perfectly is the machine syn
chronized that no confusion or "pil-
ing" Of typewritcrs occurs.
Sending machines are installed
only at Bismarck and st. Paul, all
other Associated Press member
papers in North and South Dakota
and Minnesota having receiving
machines only. News originating at
other points in North Dakota will
be filed by telegraph to Bismarck
and put on to the Associated Press
circuit here. Minnesota points will
file overhead" to St. Paul, where
the news will be filed on the AS
ISOLATED Press wire.

Installation in the editorial office
OF the Bismarck Tribune of an
automatic printer telegraph ma
chine--the latest invention for the
rapid communication Of news-has
been completed and the marvellous
device began operations this MORN
ing, replacing the telegraph ope-
rator who formerly copied the AS
sociated Press news dispatches as
they came over the TribuncS leased
wire.
The machine, with carrying
capacity Of 2.400 words an hour
will deliver to the Tribune the
greatest volume of state, country
and world news that can be carried
over single circuit. The auto
matte printer used by the Asso-
GATED Press is one Of the most
noteworthy developments in the
field Of telegraphic transmission in
many years.
Resembles Typewriter
A single printer circuit will de-
liver into a newspaper office a
minimum of 10000 words of news
in eight hours. Perfection of the
automatic circuit has grown from
experiments which the Associated
Press began many years ago. From
the rather crude mechanism that
was used at that time has been de-
veloped a machine that resembles a
standard typewriter. It is controlled
by electrical impulses which are
set in motion by an operator at the
distant filing point. The impulses
form letters which become pages
and then reams of news dispatches
from which the newspaper selects
many thousands of words to pub
lish for its readers.
