Since the Republicans came mo
control of the Congress and the Execu-

ton, there have been two unconscious

countries that place their tariffs on the

VICTORY IS SEEN
OVER RADIO FADING
Machine Built to Picture Shift
of Air Layers Causing
Condition.

Development of machine to meas
ure continuously the height of the
"heavySide layer" a region of cleo
tricity- conducting air about 100 miles
above the earth, was announced today
by the Bureau of Standards.
Radio waves from the earth strike
this layer and bounce" back to the
earth again. Changes in the height Of
the layer send the waves back at vary
ing angles. AS a result the waves are
not always correctly synchronized with
other waves that travel along the
ground. Thus radio fading and the re-
sulting disgust of listeners.
Scientists believe they might do away
with fading by adjusting radio signals
to correspond to the varying heights
of the layer if they could get a con-
tinuous picture of how the layer bill
lows. The new device of the bureau
Impulses Become Light.
It employs a radio transmitter to
send out impulses that come to the
receiving station through the air,
bouncing of the Kennedy Heaviside
layer on the way, and other impulses
that travel along the ground. The i'm
pulses are transformed into light that
registers on a moving film.
Inc ground waves always travel the
same distance, so register a straight
line on the film. But the sky waves,
bounding about, travel a greater or
lesser distance as the layer moves UP
and down. They register traces on
the film that vary in height above the
trace left by the ground " IS. This
indicates the relative he u of the
layer above ground. With - machine
working continuously, a picture is
drawn that shows just how the layer
is shifting.
VIII Help Television.
The new knowledge which will be
obtained with this device may also help
make television more practical by pos
sibly doing away with the double i'm
age" that now often results in blurred
pictures.
The double image results when
ground waves and sky waves, each
carrying an image, fail to arrive at
exactly the same time. The shifts In
the Kennedy Heaviside layers height
seem to cause this variation by bring
ing in the sky wave little behind or
a little ahead Of the ground wave.

London, August 31 - (UP) -- I see 1t is proposed to destroy part
 of the cotton crop in the United States in order to get better prices. I think such an idea ought to
 be condemned by every we'll thinking business man. Every industry is based on two principal factors. viz: The pro- ducer and the consumer When the producer produces too much and consequently is faced with price for his products on which he loses, he can only do one right thing, namely, to try and increase con- sumption.
 Consumption of staple products can only be increased on q suffi- ciently large scale by increasing the worlds buying power.
 Eight hundred million Chinese, Indians and Russians cannot buy
 because their buying power has been reduced by: (A) Reduction by two-thlrds of their only wealth, namely, silver (B) Revolutions upsetting trade. These things can be put right (A) Abolishing the boycott of silver by re-creating the demand for 1t, and by the making again of silver coins of adequate silver content, instead of containing alloy as at present.
 English silver coins have been debased from 900 fine to 800 fine. Dutch coins from 900 fine to 700 fine and German coins from 900 fine to 50 fine.
 (B) By assisting fin putting down revolutions instead of sympathiZ- ing with or helping these disturb ing clements.
 By this means the demand for goods like cotton will increase enormously. whilst for next season the cotton crop could be improved in quality and diminished in quan- tity by the timely reduction of the
 number of buds on each plant. The less the number of buds the stronger and healthier will be the remainder.
 Nobody has the right to destroy what others need.
 Increased buying power means more for peace than anything else, 1t means progress; whilst the de- struction of products means a set back to civilization and ultimately IeHuS 10 OlsCOnteHt uHu TeVOiutlOH. If the purchasing power of money in China increases they will be able to buy more cotton goods, and as a result Lancashire will be in a position to employ more men to spin, and the demand for Liver pool and American cotton must in- crease. The spinners will in their turn have more money to spend.
 Therefore, the increased buying power of five hundred million Chi nese increases the purchasing power of tens of millions more
 people over and above the five hundred million aforementioned. It Is the only way to get out Of the present impasse as a result
 of which thousands of cotton cultivators and millions of cotton weavers are put out of employ ment.
 Savings banks and other sim liar institutions have been ex-
 periencing a decline In deposits as an outcome of the present sit uation. ultimately leading to less credit.

Appeal for the
 Abandoned Cat
Many Pets Left to Shift for
 Themselves at Shore

The current issue of the New Haven Journal-Courier carries q timely article on the abandoned cat at the shore resorts, when folks pack up and return to their homes, leaving pussy to shift for herself. It suggests that people who have not enough interest in pussy to take her home to send the pet to the Connecticut Humane so- ciety office in New London, New Haven, Bridgeport or Hartford.
 After reading the article Water bury people will be curious to know why the writer did not men, ton Waterbury among the cities where abandoned felines would be cared for. Well. probably 1t would be just as well not to ask such a question. The answer might bring out reply to the effect that Wat erbury has no office of the Humane society and as q result abandoned cats are q common sight in all parts of the city.
