 PREPARATIONS
 AIDS GERMANY

BERLIN, Feb. 21-The compu,- sorry supply of reparaticns in kind, however painful they may be to many Germans, has its bright side. It is beginning to be realized that German products, distributed in this way to late belligerents, are getting the finest advertisement in the world.
 Baron Rochus yon Rheinbaben, who is making trip through the Balkans, writes that wherever he went in Jugoslavia, all the rail. way and telephone material was of German manufacture, supplied on reparations account, and he adds: Tt is quite certain that separations in kind are making excellent propaganda for German industries, for all these countries are bound to remain our custo- mers in the future.
 The Krupp firm of Essen is ne- gotiating with France for the sup ply of vast quantity of agricul- tural machinery to the French colonies, also on reparations ac count. The Union of South Africa is in the market for steel rails, and Germany has captured inn poftant orders by underbidding British tenders.

new GAS LIGHT, GIVES
PROMISE FOR FUTURE
Cannot Be Blown Out and Is Not
Touched by Flame, Says
Professor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK-How gas light-a new
kind that cannot be blown out and
that no fame touches-is coming back
as the future light of the home is de-
scribed by Prof H. H. Sheldon, chair
man of the department of physics Of
New York University.
These new lights are gases, incloSed
in alright glass tubes. with no fila
ments to break and no direct contact
of electric current.
In the laboratory stage such lights
exist already. For example. there is
a bulb filled with neon gas, which gives
a brilliant red light when a high fire.
quency electric current is passed
around the bulb without anywhere
making contact. Development of this
principle will make the light of the
future, in Dr. Sheldon's opinion.
In some combination of gases, he
thinks, lies the solution of reproducing
actual or very near to actual daylight.
At present red is the only fully power
full light produced by the gas tube.

Now that I am beyond the inf1u-
