II just growed," was
Topsy's immortal
reply as to how she
was brought up. We
are forced to give the
same answer when
asked for an explain
alton Of the popular
ity of Yorktown
Cigarettes. 1t just
"growed." We can't
account for it any
other way. But after
a smoker has gone
Yorktown, he never
wants to change.
There is something
about the mellow
blending Of the seven
friendly tobaccos
that makes new con-
vefts every day. It
must be that people
enjoy this soothing,
pleasurable smoke.

PLANES TO DISPLAY
INVISIBLE BEAMS
Baird SearchIight "Spots"
Objects and Shows Them
on Screen.

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE
night sky above New York Is soon to
be swept by an invisible searchlight
that shows on a screen everything on
which Its rays fall.
Arrangements are now being made
by Capt o. G. Hutchinson. managing
director OF the Baird Television De-
yelopment Co. OF London. for instalia-
ton OF the invisible ray apparatus or
one of the city's skyscrapers.
1t was Capt. Hutchinson who last
Wednesday night demonstrated trans
atlantic television by means of short
wave radio and the Baird televisor
images Of a man and woman were
transported through the ether from a
london laboratory to the home Of B
NJ. Hart. q sllort-wave radio operator
In Hartsdale. Westchester County VII
lage. just outside New York City.
To Use Planes In Test.
For the invisible ray demonstration.
Capt. Hutchinson Is arranging TO have
airplanes circling over the city to serve
as targets for the searchlight. First
an ordinary searchlight will be thrown
on them. making them visible TO
watchers on the ground.
Then the invisible ray will be substi-
tuted for the visible one and the planes
will disappear In the darkness. although
they will continue TO be shown Oh a
screen attached to the searchlight
The pilots will be unaware that they
are under observation when they are In
the line OF the invisible searchlight.
Baird's invisible ray works on the
following principle: A screen Is put IN
front OF the ray OF . regular search
light. which filters out all light waves
but the intra-red rays. These are the
rays beyond the lower end Of the
spectrum and are invisible 70 the human
eye but not TO q faster electric eye"
The filtered beam. piercing fog and
clouds and everything In Its path, Is
recorded In the electric eve OF The
Baird invention and then magnified on
u screen for all to see
invented BY Baird.
The invisible ray was invented by
John l.. Baird In England more than
year ago and nj that time, was
hailed as all invention which might
rcvoiutionize present methods Of war
fare because OF It's potential use IN anti
aircraft work.
Shortly alter the invention was an
nounced, all news about Il stopped
and there we're reports that the Brit
lsh War once had ended all further
information 10 that the secret might
be kept for England.
Capt. Hutchinson said today. how
ever, that there Ii no war once ban
on demonstration OF the machine and
that Il with ne shown here probably
