SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-In the belief of Philo T. Farnsworth, practical television has arrived
 This 24-year-old engineer, who has spent eight years in intensive development work, bases his state ment on results of his experiments with apparatus which function without mechanical aid.
 He has done electrically what others have done with motors and scanning disks.
 He employees special vacuum tubes.
 To harness the almost infinite flying dot of television he uses a "disector" and an "oscilight."
 These are the vacuum tubes that discard scanning disks and motors, required in other systems.
 The "disector" is the transmit ting photo-e electric cell which con- tains components for scanning an image electrically. The tube looks like a fruit jar.

GIRAFFE NECKS PROBLEM
 FOR FRENCH RAILROADS

PARIS, Dec. 29.-Officials of the Paris Zoo are puzzling over how to transport seven giraffes, part of a large shipment of African animals, from Marseilles to the capital.
 They have plenty of time to figure it out because the beasts must be kept in quarantine four months at Marseilles.
 The puzzle comes from the fact that the tunnels on the railroads from the southern coast are too low for the long necks of the gi- raffes and transportation by motor truck may make the animals sick. It is recalled that in 1850 a giraffe was brought from Marseilles to the local zoo Ion the hoof." "--
 Besides the long necks, the zoos expedition to Africa shipped ten elephants, eleven buffaloes, seven antelopes, a lion, rhinoceros, panther, gorilla, an ostrich and a lot of monkeys.

Submitting the text of a reso-
luton passed by the eighteenth
annual meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United
States, recently, in Washington,
william Butterworth, president,
called attention to the fact that
the Washington chamber and
several others are strongly behind
the move for increased pay in
the Army and Navy. The rcso,
luton read in part:
Existing pay schedules for
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Coast Guard and GeOdetic Sur
Vey and the Public Health Ser:
vice contain inequalities in the
rates of pay for different ranks
and have been in force so long
in substantially their present
form as obviously to require re-
vision in accordance with pres

there should be such q revision

the standards which would be

on edge and I often lay awake

sleep or rest, my arms and hands
would tingle, felt weak all over
and when morning came I Was
simply worn out. My first bottle
of this medicine helped me
great deal and as I said before l

Santa Will Provide an
Up-to-Date Christmas

G. ANITA CLAUS is q decidedly
~ progressive old chap. He keeps
strictly abreast OF the times, and
In his work employs only modern
day methods. Once he went
plodding over the fields in sleigh
no faster than reindeerS could
gallOp. 1t took him a long time,
but he managed to make the
rounds.
Then came the automobile.
Santa got big red one and
hitched trailers on behind. He
could get around faster. He car
ried bigger loads, got to more
homes and made more children
happy. When airplanes flew over
the North pole Santa got another
idea. He believed that planes
would be better for his long trips
and for skipping from housetop to
housetop. He is hardly built for
an air pilot, but nobody flies faster
nor farther than plump old Santa.
He does not fancy zeppelins, but
he is sure that in another year or
two he may be able to broadcast
Christmas to the children by radio.
AS soon as carriers are invented to
fly through the air, directed and
landed by radio energy, old Santa
will sit on his mountain Of north
ern ice and broadcast an up-to-
date Christmas to all the world

bluefish have superseded the trout and
are furnishing wonderful sport. Bob
Wilson, we'll known to the local angling
fraternity, was also visitor to Wacha-
preague last week and worked over
time landing big bluefish.
The run of shad in Maryland waters
has been light this year. In some
localities the pound METERS have had
fair catches, but the heavy run usually
experienced during May has not reached
Maryland waters. The United States
Bureau of Fisheries station on the
Potomac reports poor results to date.
The run of herring In the bay this
season has been very heavy. Reports
from the Great Choptank River are to
the effect that the peak of the run
occurred in the latter part of April,
when as many as 100000 were cut in
one packing house in single day. The
packers state that the fish were of ex-
cellent size.
The War Department is taking a
hand in curtailing the number of net
fishermen In Chesapeake Bay. Re-
Gently the department ordered nets
removed outside the 25-foot limit. At
a recent conference Of Rock Hall and
War Department officials 1t was brought
out that the fishermen had stretched a
line of nets almost across the bay,
menacing navigation and preventing
fish from proceeding farther north. It
is hoped this order will apply to fish
ermen generally along the Eastern
Shore water front of the bay.
