New Radio Waves

Announcement from Italy to the
effect that Marconi, wizard of wire
less, has managed to bend ultra
short radio waves so that he may be
able to utilize them for communica-
ton over long distances should elicit
no surprise.
Signor Marconi's name has been
connected with this modern marvel
for SO long that anything he may say
about it has the same weight as
though it came from an oracle.
The old-fashioned wireless, which
first captured the public imagination
when the late Jack Binns first sent
out a &C. @. D." to save shipload
Of passengers, has been superseded
by many developments and improve
ments and Marconi has been in the
forefront OF radio science all of these
years.
Byrd talked from the South Pole
via the short wave and now comes
Marconi with the ultra-short wave.
At first he could use it only between
points which were within sight of
each other. The presence OF tree
or house shut them off. Now, how
ever, he has managed to overcome
this difficulty and the test recently
announced was made over a distance
of some 200 kilometers.
Development of the ultra-short
wave may mean the junking of a
great deal of apparatus and radical
changes in the design of radio sets
as we'll as more reliable communica-
ton through the ether. We may de-
pend on Marconis genius to develop
it fully and test out its powers.
He is an unusual man and appar-
emily one with one-track mind.
From the first he has been a wire
less enthusiast and his devotion to
its improvement has never tagged.
Even though he has attained ease
and fortune, his interest in this child |
of his brain has never waned and
he evidently is working just as hard
now as when he was a young and /
struggling inventor at whom people
laughed and touched their heads in |
amused tolerance when he spoke of |!
talking without wires.
That kind of man frequently gets
little out OF life, as the rest of us |
value it, but he often contributes a |
great deal to the worlds advance
ment.

New York World-Telegram)

NEW YORK NORTHUMBERLAND
Reports that large American banks
and industrialists are to cooperate
with Russia in marketing its gold
bonds bring added evidence that
American business understands the
Importance of Russian trade even if
the administration does not.
Those American banks and compa-
MES have done business with Moscow
in the past and have found the Rus
slams absolutely reliable in keeping
agreements and paying bills-which,
unfortunately, cannot be said for
some other foreign and domestic GUS
toners.
But our sales to Russia, amounting
to $114,000 900 in 1880 and $1O3, 900 900
in 1881, have fallen off 80 per cent
this year as a result of the admins
tration's anti-Russian policy and its
blighting effects on credits. Now
American business, apparently, is de-
termined to regain that much-needed
Russian trade regardless of the ad-
ministration.
There are signs that this business
pressure, and the obvious need of
Russian American cooperation to
preserve the peace treaties against
japanese aggression, are slowly fore
ing the administration to more
realistic attitude toward Russia.
Most Of the senators on the Foreign
Relations Committee and most of the
leaders OF both parties in congress
are IN favor Of an official trade agree
ment or recognition OF Russia, as
shown in recent Scripps-Howar in
tervieWs.
For the sake Of world peace and OF
American prosperity, we hope Hoover
will not wait too long to take this
inevitable step.

A FRIEND WILL TELL YOU

Everybody's breath has an odor of
it's own, not always pronounced
odor, but an odor. The trouble is
you have the wrong kind Of friends.
But does your snobbish, insincere at
titude about these things inspire real
friendship? Well, never mind. just
listen to Ole Doc Brady, who wants
to be friendly to everybody within
proper limitations. Maybe what !
will teach you, if you listen, will help
you to achieve closer friendship with
your associates.
Every human being has not only a
characteristic breath odor but char
acteristic body odor, too. II the
stresses and strains which civilized
life imposes upon the olfactory per-
ception so dull that sense that it be-
comes numb to all but the more en-
phatic odors, that doesn't alter the
fact that everybodys breath has an
odor.
A favorite line of charlatans is
that foul breath indicates poor elm
nation" That obviously makes a
good cue for the quack to bring on
all his familiar bag of tricks, such
as fasting, dietary fads, his own
health foods, colon irrigations and
maybe course OF exotic sweat baths
or pretty light treatments or some
thing If the quack has the equipment
for such monkey business.
AS a matter of fact. faulty elimina-
ton has nothing to do with the Odor
of the breath. Reverse peristalsis
may account for the bad breath in
some cases, but that is quite indie
pendent of the function of eXcretion
or elimination.
Reverse of the direction of the wave
of movement in the stomach, causing
return of the normal gastric juice
into the esophagus or gullet explains
the symptom commonly called heart
burn If some of the acid fluid
rises into the throat it produces wa
terbrush." Many persons who, though
never i'll nor sick Tin the American
and English sense of the Words, yet
have a fur or coating on the tongue
every morning, perhaps a brown
taste" and heavy or unpleasant
breath, are suffering from reverse
peritalsis merely. All this, be it en-
phasized, has nothing to do with
elimination" or eXcretion.
Common causes of reversed peris-
talsis are excuses in eating and
drinking, abuse of condiments, the
interference observation-disclosures with
the natural digestive process by
means of physics, enemas and the
like-emotions such as fear and rage
or their minor manifestations, and
various organic disease of the stom-
ach or intestine.
A number of wholesome, healthful
articles Of diet isnpart an odor to the
breath and various medicines which
are commonly ingredients in popular
nostrums may give the breath Pc
culiar Odor.
These are some of the causes Of
breath odor not ordinarily consid-
cred. In an early issue we shall con-
slider the more familiar causes of un-
pleasant breath and suggest what to
do about it.

A Fact We Overlook

Judge William M. Lewis of Phila-
delphia has announced that jobless
men who steal to feed their families
will receive no punishment in his
court.
Philadelphia has some 100000 UNI
employed, and for the past month
they have received neither money nor
food from the unemployment COM
mittee. A number of them, says
Judge Lewis, have taken to stealing
in their desperation; but when such
men come before him they are
promptly put on probation.
Probably there won't be anyone in
the country to quarrel with the stand
this Judge has taken. To recognize
that the man who is driven to crime
in order to keep his wife and chill
dren from starving is not in the same
class with the professional house
breaker or stick-up man is only COM
mon sense.
But it is little odd, when you stop
to think about it, that it has taken
q business depression of unparalleled
severity to make us accept this OBJ
vious fact.
In ordinary times our tendency is
to make the punishment fit the crime.
The man who steals property of such
and such value must stay in prison
for such and such a period; the man
who holds another up on the high
way gets similarly inelastic SEN
tence: and while efforts have been
made, through probation depart
nlents, the use of the indeterminate
sentence and so on, to soften the
rough edges of these harsh rules. we
have not got so very far away from
the old. traditional code.
Such men as Clarence barrow have
been trying for years to make us un-
derstand that the compelling motive
back of most criminal acts is the eco
nomic one. Dig back far enough into
the life of even the most hardened
yegg and you are apt to find that
same desperate craving for the ne
cessities of life. Later, to be sure,
the criminal may follow his calling
for other reasons; but his origins, in
a tremendous number of cases, stem
straight from the swamp OF hopeless
poverty.
Until we accept that fact, we shall
never make any Roadway in the age
long war on crime.

The Claw and Fang

Discovery IN Yellowstone National
Park Of bug-eating plant, first of
its kind to be found in the Rocky
mountain area, recently was ANNOUNCE
ed by naturalist.
Known as sundew, the plant has
carnivorous instincts, and lures flies,
ants and bugs of all kinds into a
trap. Known to scientists as drosera,
the plant excretes sweet, dewy nee
tar on the fuzzy hair of it's petals.
This plant, found by Ranger Natur-
alist William Evans at Old Faithful,
is believed to be the first one found
in the Rocky mountain area. The
plant is now on exhibit at the Mann
moth museum.
Sundew is a small bog plant, a
relative of the Venus flytrap, and Pc
culiar in that 1t subsists partially at
least upon insects. Leaves are baited
with sweet dew which attracts in
sects. When an insect alights, the
red, hairlike glands close upon the
insect, holding it captive until the
plant has absorbed all OF the nour-
ishment available. BY a secretion of
ensymes the plant is able to absorb
all the food from its victim.
After only the hard covering Of
the insect is left, the leaf opens and
casts out the "bones" of the feast,
and sets its trap for the next victim.
BY SO doing this plant reverses an
almost universal rule of nature. since
the usual thing is for insects and
animals to feed on plants, as wit
ness the current grasshopper damage
IN North Dakota.
The law Of the fang and claw is
one OF the oldest known to creation.
It's processes have determined the
rulers Of the plain and Jungle from
time inmemorial and there never has
been appeal from it.

END OF AN ERA?
