To Demonstrate
Static Remedy
Use of Ultra Short
Waves Required in
New System
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Get rid of
static, any kind, long has been the
cry Of radio.
Hours that piled up into days
then years, have been spent In the
laboratory In a constant search for
solution. The problem has been
tackled from many angles; yet the
goal always seemed just beyond
reach.
That is, up to the announcement
by Maj. Edwin H. Armstrong in
ventor of the superheterodyne re-
ceiver and responsible for numerous
other developmentSof his success
In devising method for transmits
sion and reception which gets
around the static.
But, because Of the requirements
Of the system, he found 1t necessary
to move into the ultra short waves
below 10 meters to accomplish his
aim. Also special circuits in trans
mitter and receiver were essential
Regular broadcast waves were i'm
practicable for its use because OF
the wider transmission band, con.
siderably wider than is employed
today.
Thus, before Nationwide system
embracing the Armstrong system
could be put into operation not only
would replacement transmitters fol
the present set-up have to be bull
throughout the country, but re-
ceivers in the home would need tt
be altered or replaced so they coule
tune in the signals. Likewise broad.
casting itself would have to move
from its present channels to ths
ultra short waves.
AS beginning, however, in tn,
hope that use under actual broad
casting conditions would demon
strate to the public the practica'
bility of his system in wiping ou
static and manmade electrical in
reference, Maj. Armstrong is pre-
pairing to transmit daily program
via a specially built transmitter a
Alpine, N. j., across the Hudson
River from New York City.
This tranSmitter, with range o
approximately 100 miles on sever
meters, will have a newly designed
antenna built so as to concentrate
its signals along the earths surface
1t consists of 400-foot tower will
three 150-foot crossarms, and will
the aerial itself made up of copper
plated steel bars fastened to a boon
suspended between the cross arms
In addition, special receivers ar
to be put on the market at a cos
comparable to the modern set.
is the plan to construct them S
they will function not only on tn
Armstrong system, but, by fippin
switch like changing over to tn
short waves, on ordinary broadcast
ing. An attempt to tune in tn
Armstrong signal on the averag
set today would produce an I'm
recognizable signal.
Maj. Armstrong said if and whel
his system came into universal us
he felt it would outmode presen
day receivers because of the bette
output resulting. However. ther
was no indication when that woult
come about.
To large extent, it would depen,
on how important the ultra shor
waves become in future broadcast
ing. At present they are only be
ginning to enter the radio arena
particularly for television.
While somewhat limited in re
liable range to local area, they ar
not subject to all of the interference
found on longer waves, anothe
factor that aids the Armstron
system.

Instrument Its Own
Proof, Retorts Enqineer

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. q (F.-
Don R. Berlin, chief engineer of the
Curtiss- Wright airplane plant here,
said today that the instrument that
recorded a test dive speed Of SIS
miles an hour in a pursuit plane
here Should be its own proof"
Mr.. Berlin, designer Of the Hawk
75A pursuit plane in which Test
Pilot H. Lloyd Child made the pur-
ported record, asserted: I'VE have
no comment other than that the
values were obtained from a French
recording instrument"
The speed recorded on the French
instrument was 925 kilometer hours,
the equivalent Of 575 miles an hour.
The plane was one of 100 being
built for the French Army here and
the dive was part of the acceptance
test, witnessed by French officials.
The instrument was checked for
leaks before and after the dive,
Berlin said.

non also would hold 1t back, he said.
The Government experts expressed
the belief that the SIS miles recorded
by the plane at Buffalo was probably
due to an error in the device used
to measure the planes speed.
About year ago, new Navy pur-
suit plane was reported to have at
tanned 600-mile speed in power
dive. Navy officials at that time de-
clared such speed was impossible.

Chiang's Gas Masks
Made in Hong Kong

HONG KONG Correspondence Of the
Associated Press - The latest and
largest Chinese war enterprise to find
protection and profit in this British
Crown colony is the Safety Industrial
Co., a sl000,000 concern which manu-
factures gas masks for Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's armies.
Transferred to Hong Kong after the
Japanese took Shanghai. the factory,
only few hundred yards from Royal
Air Force headquarters, is turning out
500 masks day. Plant additions and
installation of new machinery from Ger
many are expected to double the output
soon.
To. meet the Chinese army's demand
for more but cheaper gas masks, the
company, assisted by Chinese govern
ment expert, has perfected a way of
using rubber instead of aluminium valves
and parts. The new product costs
Chang about 50, half OF the previous
cost of gas masks.
In addition there are four smaller
companies devoted to assembling masks
with imported parts, in Hong Kong.
Poison gas has played negligible part
in Chinese-Japanese hostilties But
China is equipping an increasing number
of troops with protective masks as .
preparedness move.
Though no longer an open gateway
into wartime China, Hong Kong still is
the middleman's paradise. A year ago it
was even buster and 50 bustlng it was
dubbed the unofdcial capital of China
because 50 many government agencies
and key officials had found convenient
havens here.

Beguines Are a Holdover
From Days of Crusades

Twentieth century travellers, hunting
new scenes for the looming vacation
season, may find thrill by turning back
the clock 800 years in visits to Europes
Beguinages.
What are these Beguinages? &. . Homes
Of the Beguines. And the Beguines,"
says the National Geographic Society,
ARE feminine holdover from the days
OF the Crusades. An order of lay sister,
hoods, the Beguines are believed by
many to have taken their name from
Lambert lie Begue, priest of Liege, Bel
gium. Toward the end of the 18th CEN
tury this priest, seeking a solution to
the economic and social problem of wom-
en- left unprotected by their crusading
menfolk built cloister and church (St.
Chrlstopher) as haven of Liege for
these forgotten women of holy war.
The movement spread through the low
countries.
by the end of the 18th century,
Beguinages, as the settlements came to
be called, were established in many COM
munities of Belgium. The Netherlands,
Northern France, and Germany Women
OF all classes joined them Sometimes
wealthy women gave their fortunes to
the sisterhood. In other cases, the poor
were received and taken care of in in
stitutions that became virtually aims
houses. Today, mostly as charity CEN
tiers, Beguinages are still found in North
ern Europe, especially in Belgium and
the Netherlands.
surrounded by thick walls whose
heavy gates are closed at night, they
have narrow, winding streets, rows Of
gabled houses, Shops market places and
churches. Like cities within cities,
Beguinages today are islands of serenity,
In the hustle of modern life, where men,
bers go and come, obeying their simple
rules, visiting their families and friends,
ministering to the sick and needy.
Clever with handwork, many Beguines
make their living and finance their
charity by lace making and embroidery"

malicious rumors were scotched. This
question of his fitness will be just as ir-
relevant with respect to 1910. The truth
is, of course, that even If the President
we're q sick man, which he decidedly is
not, he could not afford for several rea-
sons to rule himself out of next years

that he still has in his party. More i'm

in international affairs would thereby
be almost completely nullified.

John Mass Visits
 Nome Tells Mining Activities Haycock

John Mass, well known sour dough mining man of Dime Creek located in the Haycock re- cording precinct, was an arrival in Nome last Sunday via Wien Airlines plane, on a business and dental trip. He is leaving on his return trip today.
 MT. Mass is quite jubilant ov- CT the success of Representative Wallace Porter, of the Dime Creek section, in obtaining an ap propriation for the construction of new and modern school at Dime. He further expressed him self as hopeful that money will be available for improvements to be made to the Dime Creek land ing field, which he says is badly needed.
 Speaking of mining activities during the winter the following interesting information was learn ed:

WHO IS MINING

On No. 3 above discovery, Nel- son, Lindstrom & Malby are windlassing out a pay dump, which will be sluiced up when the water begins running. On Discovery claim, Nolan Hamm and partners are operat- ing a self dumping outfit, and are reported doing fine They have one man employed. They began hoisting pay dirt about two weeks ago from their shaft which is only 20 feet deep.
 On No. 1 above, Rylander, Heg berg and Johnson are at present carrying on prospecting actiVit- ies.
 On a second tier bench, oppo- site No 1 above, Dime Creek has the most novel mining enterprise in the country, where three young boys. are doing real min ing and taking out pay dump, using a power hoist and tripod. They are reported to be in good pay and no doubt will make a name for themselves and their firm, which is commonly known as Johnson, Johnson, Johnson The three boys are the enterpriS ing sons of MT. and Mrs. Art w. Johnson. The father is U. s. Conn missioner of the Haycock pre- cinct.
 Mass & Company have finished their mining operations on block of ground on Discovery Bench and will open up another shaft close by. A self Jumper and hoist is used and five men employed by this well known firm.
 Tom Reilly and John Tahl are working on some property form erly worked several years ago by Valentine & Porter, and have commenced hoisting pay dirt from a block of ground that was overlooked on this claim for number of years.
 Mrs. John Mass is still teach ing school, and has some l5 or more children attending classes. The old log building which has b -e4 u5ed for a school house will 7con be replaced by the con structiOn of a new and n1cdarn school building, funds for same having been appropriated by the recent Legislature at Juneau, and principally thru the efforts made by Democratic Representative Wallace Porter of Haycock and Dime sections, who was elected to represent the Second Division in the last election.
 MT. Mass further stated that the mail service in that section this winter has been very poor, and there was plenty of room for improvement.
