Thornburg Manager Link No. 6 NO WIRES NEEDED Invention Makes It Easy to Talk Through Space. New Radiophone Can Be Connected to Ordinary Electric Light Socket in Any Building—Means Much to World. The successful application of alter- nating current—the 60-cycle alternat- ing current of any ordinary household or office building electric light installa- tlon—to the field of the wireless tele- phone is announced by Dr. Lee de Forest as the first result of a series of after-the-war experiments in the ap- plication of the new radio art to the purposes of peace. Elimination of the “hum” ts, accord- ingly, made possible when the wireless telephone circult is now connected with the ordinary electric light Mne, a problem which, it may be said, has long confronted radio engineers. Another advance in wireless prog ress to result from the new circult employed by the inventor is the elim- ination of the high-powered generat- ing stations for the production of di- rect carrent, the cost and complica- tion of which has heretofore been be- yond the reach of the ordinary lay- man, All that is required now, fn the way of voltage, is any ordinary lamp sock- et In house or office building. Remove the lamp, “plug in” a pony wireless panel and do your talking. That is what the engineers of the De Forest laboratories have been doing for the last several months between High- bridge, Westchester, and downtown, New York. “After several months of constant effort and experimentation, in the field of the wireless telephone,” said Dr. de Forest, “it is more than gratifying to be able to announce that we have at last succeeded in applying the prin- ciples of the radio art in such a way that any one may now, without tech- nical knowledge, talk in space, without wires, from house to house and from city to city, by utilizing alternating current now employed in lighting the house, and when we stop to consider that probably nine-tenths of the elec- tric light installations in the rural dis- tricts supply alternating current, the great benefit thus placed at the dis- posal of the wortd is readily observed. “Such a feat may be, no doubt, a little surprising to the ordinary lay- man, but there is no question today but the dawn of a new wireless age —not for experimenters and labora- tory workers, but for the public at darge—is already here. Coupled with te orainary ‘amp socket found in any house throughout the country, the new wireless panel will do the trick. The few requirements in the way of opera- tions are no more difficult than calling central. In fact, with the new pony wireless there is no need of disturb- ing central. One may call the other desired party by wireless in person.” —New York Evening Post. Poisoned “Fire Water.” Chicago liquor is full of poison, and {t isn’t the word of woman reformers that has spread the alarm, either, It is an honest-to-goodness chemist, hired by a jurist who was puzzled by the actions of the young and old men who were called “drunk.” The chemist, aft- er careful analysis of the fire water, exclaimed that the drink was the worst kind of stuff, and nothing short of poi- son, The report states that the “licker” contained wood alcohol, fusel oil, creosote and water. The gin which is sold extensively in Chicago saloons contained a concoction composed of either oil of juniper berries or the ber- ries themselves. Another substitute found to be very popular was “bitters,” which is made largely of tincture of cinchona, The polsonous drinks are stupefying and frequently make the drinker deathly sick. Page Mr. David. Do you know Edward Albert Chris- tian George Andrew David? This is not the first name of several people. Instead it is the full name of his royal highness, the prince of Wales, who has been visiting Canada. When Emperor Joseph of Austria died he had a string of names which made a long paragraph in the hewspapers, Royalty has family names like other folks, The British royal family ts often spoken of as the quelphs. The ill-fated Russian imperial family was known as the Romanoffs; the former ruling familly in Portugal was called Braganzas. The family who before Napoleon ruled France and later ruled Austria was the Bourbons. knows who to be, Queen Victoria was originally Miss Azon von Este. King Edward VII, grandfather of the prince of Wales, was named Albert Edward Wettin— Boston Post. LAUGHED AT REAL HEROISM Soldier Insists Authorities Conferred Decoration for Deed That Was Merely Second Rate. Everyone the Hohenzollerns used He had come back with the croix de guerre, but he would not talk about how he won it. Of course his family and friends knew the formal citation, but they wanted him to tell them the detail, and he modestly and persist- ently evaded them, “I think ivs simply silly,” declared an irate cousin in her teens, “What's the use of ducking and dodging, and pretending you're not a hero, when you know perfectly well you are?” The worm turned. “Yes, of course I know I am,” he assented coolly, “The trouble is, they didn’t give me my cross for the right thing. Do you ex- pect a fellow to talk about his heroism when he gets a decoration for doing what lots of other fellows did who weren't lucky enough to be noticed, and then finds the bravest thing he ever did, or ever expects to do, treated lightly or ignored altogether? At least, 1 was a hero once. Before we were ordered abroad, I was invited to lunch- eon by my colonel’s daughter. Now, you know I am a country boy from an inland state, It was the first luncheon I'd ever attended—and the first time I'd ever been served raw oysters, I hate shellfish, and when I saw those six, soft, slimy, slithery horrors set be- fore me I nearly fainted, But I didn’t know whether anything much was to follow or not; and I couldn't decline a main dish under the eye of ,my hostess, I shuddered with disgust. I Wasn't sure they would go down; I feared they might come up, But—I ate those oysters, all six, and smiled as I ate them! She told me so two years afterward, when I confessed. Now, I call that true heroism. But it wasn’t whut I got the cross for.” “Maybe,” said the saucy young thing in her teens, “It’s that you're go- ing to get the girl for.” “No,” sighed tie unappreciated hero, “she agrees with the rest of you and General Mangin. She only laughs at my real claim te glery !”’—Youth’s Companion, Abyssinian Likes American Styles. “I would like to see Abyssinian wom- en dress like American women,” is a remark credited to Prince Nadoa, the head of the Abyssinian mission in this country. This may be merely a bit of oriental flattery or it may be an indication of the prince’s bravery. It should be remembered, first, that the sovereign of Abyssinia is a woman, and a descendant of the queen whose ele gance and beauty of costume dazzled King Solomon's court, and in the next place that in Abyssinia style does not change more than once every thou- sand years, and that for that length of time the life of a man Is free from all pecuniary worries incident to changing fashions and new dresses. Without any intention of forecasting trouble for the prince, it might be suggested that if this story should precede him he will have some ex- planations to make either to the queen or to the husbands and fathers of Abyssinia, Taxes must be paid by De- cember 20. 49-3 Seededecenteteteatectratetoentecenteten Maessoeioese seete seeseegoegeageate bo Yakima Valley Farms UNDER THE Famous Sunnyside Gov- ernment.
