to the side walk. From the Way in Which they tussled and pried and tugged, the box evidently was very heavy but, in suit of its weight, found itself too many for the job—one stood in the Way of the others doing efficient work, and, by one of the four, eventually acknowledging this fact, suggested that the obstruction stand aside, that the others might continue the task and complete it without further assistance. And it occurred to one at the time that the fellow who eased up the situation and, placed the fourth man aside, showed something of efficiency, concentration, and that the task which is performed thoroughly captures attention and concentrates it best at a mastery, by even most men in their occupations. And on this occasion, there are frequent occasions when we know we can do many things more perfectly than we do. The miracle in work is efficiency, and the merit and criterion of good work is its perfection; in this the leader fulfills himself and repays. Whether we work for a salary under the direction of another matters little; the cost of development is little at and the profit largest in proportion. The fact, therefore, should appeal to men that whatever they do, they are doing for themselves. What is all important is the fact of self-perfection; that is the ideal in life, so if we loiter or we wander through the field of experience from day to day, we may possibly as we go along; we must not think of the soil, but rather of the thinking of the harvest but of the work. Anything that is well done is an artistic fact and an artistic tribute to the wholeness of life, and he who has performed the work is, as an artist, in the particular manner and calling, and this applies whether we paint on canvas or dig a trench. Efficiency is a well-directed and efficiently used energy that is expressed in constructive application. We create the thought; the stronger the thought, the greater the result. With well-directed energy we establish that result which

In this will the needed romance attaches itself to the most trivial affairs of life and the power by the individual over events and circumstances will be realized. Education leads towards efficiency. It makes the pathway of action clear and at times vision direct. Attention and application follow. It depends upon the individual whether he will so exercise himself as to tap the deeper possibilities of his being and gain control over the extensive area of energy and will latent in the subconscious mind. It is known that when special responsibilities and greater work are shouldered upon a person, he employs a larger amount of energy than is necessary to continue his daily duties, which proves beyond a doubt that men have stores of energy which they draw upon to use, but which are manifested only under stress and struggle. Competent is the man who desires to be so. The desire is the purpose gained; efficiency is everything. Once it is set in motion, the end is sure, so long as the idea remains in the field of action.

THE PARIS TIMES, SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1924. NEW YORK COPS TO WEAR RADIO RECEIVING SETS Policemen on Beat to Time in With Headquarters to Stop Crime Wave. (Paris Times Spécial) NEW YORK.—An army of 13,000 policemen, every one within instant call of headquarters by radio—that is a dream of Police Commissioner Enright which started on its way to fruition with the opening of WNYC, the big new municipal broadcasting station atop of the 25-story Municipal Building. The plan is to equip every cop on the force with a portable set so that headquarters can communicate instantly with the entire 13,000 in any emergency that may require their services. Bandits and other criminals, the Commissioner feels, will find it much harder to get away once it becomes possible to flash alarms instantly all over the city.

Bandits and other criminals, the Commissioner feels, will find it much harder to get away once it becomes possible to flash alarms instantly all over the city. The equipping of each individual policeman with a receiving set, of course, is a matter of time. Further development of small sets which would not burden a plodding bluecoat will be necessary first. But in the meantime, immediate steps toward part broadcasting of police orders are underway. Every station house in the city is being equipped with a receiving set and it is expected that in a few weeks the police squadron of high-speed automobiles will mount sets by which they can be thrown into bandit chases at a moment's notice. Police boats in the harbor will be similarly equipped. Broadcasting Police News. Incidentally, Commissioner Enright, who is not any too fond of the New York newspapers because of their critical attitude, plans to give the metropolitan newspapers a lesson. He is going into the news broadcasting business. Mr. Christopher Bohnsack, director of the municipal radio, says that three daily periods, probably 9:30 am., 1:30 pm., and 7:30 pm., will be set aside for the broadcasting of the important police news of the day. The high local stories—murders, kidnappings, suicides, fires, and other disasters—will be “covered” by the police the way the Commissioner thinks they should be covered. Being on the inside, the Commissioner should pull off an occasional “scoop” that will take the sting out of the editorial panings to which he and his force are

Being on the inside, the Commissioner should pull off an occasional “scoop” that will take the sting out of the editorial panings to which he and his force are subjected periodically. Practical use of WNYC is also to be made by the Fire Department. All the fire stations and all the floating fire equipment will have receiving sets on which Commissioner Drennan can direct his men. The innovation is expected to be especially valuable in the case of the fireboats, which are now incapable of close control from land. WNYC, of course, will go on the air nightly with a programme of entertainment and instruction. High-grade entertainers volunteering their services and Mr. Bohnsack is ready to stack his entertainment features up against those of AVE AF, WJZ, WOR, or any of the other big Eastern stations. Park band concerts and recitals on the big Wanamaker store pipe organ will be broadcast, as well as the work of artistes in the Municipal Building studio. No Politics. Mayor Hylan emphatically denies that he intends to make the powerful WNYC station a political instrument. Not even candidates for the Presidency will be permitted to use it in the coming campaign. But the Mayor— who doesn’t think any more of most of the New York newspapers than does Police Commissioner Enright— plans to use WNYC to “set the public right” on some details

But the Mayor— who doesn’t think any more of most of the New York newspapers than does Police Commissioner Enright— plans to use WNYC to “set the public right” on some details of the city government which he thinks these newspapers have misrepresented. This will be done by means of "educational talks,” by officials of various city departments—the Health Department, the Department of Education, the Fire and Police Departments, and the rest. Of course, if the electors discover from these features that the Mayor and his administration have been undeservedly "razzed” by the newspapers, and that Mr. Hylan is the best mayor the city ever had, the administration cannot help that. Facts are facts. STARVATION IS NEAR IN SOUTH RUSSIA MOSCOW, Friday.—Although official efforts are being made to minimize the danger of famine in Russia this year, news dispatches from the areas liable to be affected indicate that starvation is near at hand for 2,500,000 people in South and South-West Russia. The Soviet Government has a surplus of grain in other provinces which will have to use to relieve the distress but at the same time it must continue exports abroad if it is to meet its debt obligations which mature this autumn.

The situation already is acute in the German Soviet Republic of the lower Volga, where more than 10 percent of the population is famished and selling cattle for a song to buy bread. The price of meat has dropped to almost nothing. The Republic has a population of nearly 700,000 and occupies an area of most fertile land covering 12,500 square miles in one block.

A telephone alarm had the signals set against the train, while an engine towed the car out of the tunnel. Special Aerial Systems Enabled Wizard to Cover Enormous Distance Without Great Power. Details are now being made public of the methods which were used by Senator Marconi in order to communicate by secret radiotelephony with Australia and South America, from Poldhu. Special aerial systems are used both at the sending and receiving stations. Three masts support a parabolic antenna made of two horizontal wires, with a number of vertical wires connecting them. This forms a radio-electric reflector which, it has been found, directs the waves in one direction, so that only stations situated in the narrow angle of radiation of the aerial can receive the messages. The advantages are obvious, as hitherto one of the drawbacks of radio, as opposed to cable communication, was that messages sent out could be tapped in a large radius. But the great value of the discovery lies in the fact that reception is 200 times as strong as when an ordinary antenna is used, which makes it possible for the commercial companies to use a short wavelength and not excessive power in order to cover enormous distances. It was while using this new type of antenna that Senator Marconi discovered that the waves sent out travelled along the dark part of the earth—to reach Australia for example—even though the daylight path was the shortest. Credit for the discovery must ultimately be given to Herz, who showed experimentally that electromagnetic waves could be reflected exactly in the same way as luminous waves are reflected by mirrors. The two waves are of exactly the same nature. Luminous

Credit for the discovery must ultimately be given to Herz, who showed experimentally that electromagnetic waves could be reflected exactly in the same way as luminous waves are reflected by mirrors. The two waves are of exactly the same nature. Luminous waves are only electromagnetic waves of a very short order, between 4 and 7 thousandths of a millimeter according to their color. In the case of the present aerial used at Poldhu, an English Army captain was the originator of the idea of the parabolic reflector. The network actually used, while Senator Marconi made all the improvements and directed the experiments. Mr. Owen D. Young, President of the Radio Corporation of America, is in England in connection with the Inter-Allied Conference. While there he will study the directional wave antenna. One may therefore hope that before long private telephone will be established between Europe and America. This is perfectly feasible, for of course the messages could be relayed by land line through an ordinary telephone exchange. *** The most powerful circuit that has ever been devised is that known as the Armstrong super-regenerative circuit. The only set which equals it for power is the super-heterodyne and then four valves must be used as against two. The hookup this week is that of the super-regenerative receiver in its simplest form. Careful note should be made of the fact that no outside aerial is used. The reason for this is that the

Careful note should be made of the fact that no outside aerial is used. The reason for this is that the super is intensely radioactive, and that therefore reception for a considerable radius around your house would be utterly spoiled if you used an outside aerial. A frame aerial is no disadvantage; in fact, it is an advantage, as it saves the erection of an outside aerial and eliminates all risks from lightning. ** The first tube is known as the regenerator and the second as the oscillator. What happens is this: The resistance of the circuit is made alternatively negative and positive at such a rate that no local oscillations can take place, these being damped before they reach their full amplitude. In these conditions, the amplification obtainable reaches the maximum capacity of a vacuum tube. Signals are amplified anywhere between 100,000 and 1,000,000 times, depending upon the type of tube and the high tension used. I feel sure that if amateurs only realized this more supers would be seen in use, although greater care in their construction is called for than is the case with ordinary sets. Tuning with a super is always supposed to be very difficult. This is quite untrue, and the amateur who has a super will soon become an expert with it, if at first
