MOUNTAIN RANCHES TO
GROW CHRISTMAS TREES
Soil Expert Finds Little Pines Will
Thrive in Colorado.

By United Press
COLORADO SPRINGS, Feb. 49,
Mountain ranches, which in years
past have produced little save
mortgages, may develop a new in
dustry in the state by growing a
crop of Christmas trees.
w. j. Morrill,, state forester, was
the originator of the suggestion.
The ranches, rocky and unproduc-
tive at best, have suffered greatly
from the decreased prices for live
stock and the few farm products
they have marketed.
Their elevation and soil, however,
is ideal for the production of
Christmas trees. There is a grow
ing scarcity of Christmas trees, and
large eastern centers are hard put
to find enough of the little pines to
satisfy the demand.
Morrill, presented figures to show
the possibility of profit of $50
per acre from the growing of
Douglas frs for the Christmas
trade. This sum is above an allow
ance of the rancher for his time
and labor in planting, cultivating
and cutting the trees.

WAGE CUT GRANTED
Chicago Building Trades
men Agree to Slash.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Febf1 ia voluntary
20 per cent wage reduction, effective
March l, has been granted by Chi
cago union building trade workers
in an effort to revive construction
in this area.
The reduction which was for a
period of one year was agreed to
after contractors presented figures
showing that nearly $150,000,000 in
projects were postponed in the last
two years due to high building costs.
Contractors had asked a Is per
cent reduction, but a compromise
with the thirty-one building trade
unions brought agreement on the
smaller deduction.
I'VE feel confident the wage adj
juStment will unloosen the log jam
that has gripped local construction
work." a joint statement of workers
and employees said.
More than 10000 workers are
affected by the adjustment.

For long before the ape-man an

living in America, and to little

At that time it was thought to be
a pleasant little tourist fiction. But
it now appears that he told the truth
and that dog shows already we're

Efficient Secretary NabS
Comic Gibe Before 1t
Gets to Mayor.

Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan al
most got comic valentine today.
HumoristS who send out comic
valentines are no respecters of
persons, and somewhere in Indian
apolis one of the funny tribe is
chuckling to himself, wondering
just what the mayors reaction was
when he opened the missive.
But the joke is on the sender,
for the mayor does not even know
that he almost received the valen-
tine.
The reason for the mayors igno-
rance of the indignity he almost
suffered is his efficient office staff
She Tears 1t Up
Miss Gertrude Murphy, the may
or's sympathetic stenographer, and
censor Of all his mail, was observed
tearing one particular letter into
minute particles.
THE nerve Of some people, send
ing nasty comic valentines to the
mayor" she exploded. He'll not
see this one. It's probably from
some disappointed politician or job
seeker.
She refused to disclose the nature
of the verse on the valentine.
Fear is expressed however, by city
hall friends of the mayor that some
valentine CARRIED in the wolf-like
caricature of witticism but with
lamb-like love words beneath may
come to the mayors Office and Suf-
fer the same plight as the ogre that
plagued Miss Murphy.
Mayor Is Bachelor
They point out that as the mayor
is a bachelor, and as the year is
leap, that he should have at least
one day of freedom from the CEN
sorship of his secretary. They fear
the precedent set.
Jaw, have a heart on st. Valen-
tines day." they chirp as they hope
fully run through their own letters
and eye their secretaries suspicious
ly as the mornings mail is sliced
open.

as swiftly as possible, they feared

MAKES
SECRET PROGRESS
Reasonable Cost and Re-
ceiver Design Two Impor-
tant Problems Left.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.-Real tele-
vision can be seen only in the labora-
tories today.
1t is in these quarters. closed to all
but the initiated, where the newly de-
veloping art is being pushed ahead at a
faster pace than was believed possible
even year ago.
At the same time, the task of turning
a laboratory accomplishment into
practicabiiity is not an easy one, and
it probably is too early to attempt
forecast of the date for the introduce
ton of television in the home.
Two important problems remain to be
solved-the supplying of adequate pic
ture breakfasts at q reasonable cost and
the design of a receiver that won't re-
quire too much of an outlay.
Take 1t from a young man who has
spent all of his days and many of his
nights and week ends for nine years
crouchlng over apparatus too elaborate
to describe.
Progress Worth While.
This engineer, Philo T. Farnsworth,
whose penthouse work room in the
Philco laboratories here has been aug
mented by two short-WaVe tranSmitterS
housed in tower above an elevator
shaft, believes that. despite the handi-
caps. he has made worth while progress
in the year that has elapsed since he
came from San Francisco.
His particular task is the perfection
of the cathode ray tube to provide cleo
trical scanning both for transmitter and
receiver, to replace the mechanically
operated disc Of holes or lenses
And he has at least two recent &C
complishmentS that stand out. One is
the design of cathode receiver which
will throw picture on a screen.
The other goes into the puzzle of a
cathode ray scanner, or television cam
era that can be used for direct pickup
such as living images, in the studio
and out.
In most cathode ray receivers the
picture is seen on the end of the tube
the size of the image being fixed by the
diameter of the fiat end Of the tube
About or inches square is the maxi
mum that can be built up with this
method
Accomplished by Farnsworth.
But by projection it is possible to
Jump this up to at least a foot. Farms
worth has done just that. and at the
same time has lowered the cost of the
cathode tube considerably.
Enlargement is accomplished with
lens. a rejecting mirror and ground
enough concentrated light is available
to get fairly satisfactory results.
The cathode ray direct vision camera
looks much like a small wooden cask
mounted on a swinging pedestal. 1t can
be focused as an ordinary camera. and
appears considerably simpler than a
mechanical scanner.
