Slight Young Man Perfects| Two-Way Conversation | From Moving Cars. Epecial Dispatch to The 5 TORONTO, May 10.—Through the storm of jubilation and congratulations | over the successful dermonstration of two | remarkable achiev ans- | mission, that of two-way irom a moving train, moved an incon- spicuous, figure, a sort of an Edison of [ *° railway telephony, John C. Burkholde chief efigineer of the teleg telephone department of the Naticnal Raiiways. A less assuming man it would be hard | to discover. He ctands five fcet six end | weighs 105 pounds. He dresses incon- | spicuously. He spe softly. He has to | pumped hard before he will say the | vial thing about himself or his | ‘ments. Yet at 32 he brought to completion successful two-way telephone conversa- from a moving train, having just fously perfected a carrier current em that has been installed on 25 per cent of the Canadian National Tele- graph lines and has proved to be the most revolutionary telegraph develop- ment of the past quarter of a century. Mr. Burkholder, who was born at Philadelphia, was brought to Canada from the Bell Laboratories at New York by W. D. Robb, vice president of the C-N. R., a little over a year ago, when things went wrong with the new carrier | current with which the C. N. R. ‘ graph experts were experimenting. That | less than a year ago. ow many weeks ago were y that you had solved the pr two-way speech from trains? asked u sure | lem n(i he \vasl knew T could do it when I start- ed,” was his quiet reply. Mr. Robb has been interested in the | idea for years. He had heard three years ago that German engineers were busy on the problem, and a year ago he | went to Germany and was given a demonstration of a one-way conversa- tion. He came back satisfied that the | time was ripe for Canadian develop- ment, and it was then that the nut was given Mr. Burkholder to crack. “There are very few discoveries now- adays, anyway,” he said. “We don’t dis- cover. We just push somebody else’s | ideas a little further. Take this mat- ter of radio telephony,” he continued modestly. “U. S. A. engineers could have developed it, only they were busy | with other things, and there was no railway down there that saw it as a commercial proposition. Now any rail- way can use the information we have gained.” From the very first, Mr. Burkholder was interested in carrier current, a sort | of father of the radio telephone. He says he is not a radio expert, but a carrier current expert. But he agrees that the radio and the carrier current are very closely related. His research has solved some odd problems. The old way of timing cheap watches was to hang them all up and check them up once an hour. A good timer could strike the right adjustment of the regulator after three or four ad- justments. The new way Burkholder and his associates developed made it possible to tune them in a minute. They amplified the “tick-tick” of the watch until it sounded like hammer blows on an anvil. They then produced | a similar hammer blow frem a chro- | nometer which wes keeping perfect time. When the two sets of blows came together the cheap watch was running in perfect time.

MOSCOW, Idaho, May 10.—Curfew shall not ring tonight in Moscow—not, at least, until the warring factions get it to ringing again on standard time. All the clocks were cuckoo yesterday and the chimes were in a bad way, too, | for some worked on daylight time and | some on standard. Moscow adopted the daylight system, | but farmers protested and many stores | kept standard hours to please them. | Students at the University of Idaho roared for standard time, “because no- body wants to study before dark.” ‘The city council last night decreed | that “at midnight Pacific time will be the time of Moscow.” The decree was not_broadeast. This morning storekeepers working on | daylight time were without clerks, who | followed the standard method. Other clerks appeared for work at 8 o'clock daylight and waited an hour before their employers opened the doors at 8 o'clock standard. | University classes ran on daylight time when they ran. Students who used trains or busses were confused by the clashes in hours. “The Red Flag,” the Socialist song, was sung at the funeral recently of Jim O’Connell, the veteran Soclalist, at a crematorium in London. “WHERE ECONOMY RULES” | Boscul Coffee munity Chest, will be the principal speaker at the final pre-campaign rally of volunteer workers in the $35000 United Palestine appeal tomorrow eve. ning at the Jewish Community Center.

But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not be- lieve were good for human | beings to put into their systems. | So he wrote a prescription for a | laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipa- | tion that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. | * Under successful management | this prescription has proven its |worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative in the | world.

How they loved its appetising aroma and mellow flavor, The sub-arctic cold was daily tempered by the satisfying draughts of Bokar. I want to tell you the men of the Byrd Expedition and myself were happy to have Bokar Coffee. Itwas indeed a fortunate choice.” On the Air! Chief Steward Greason will tell of his_thrilling experie ences on Monday evening, May 13th, during the A & P Gypsies hour —From 7:30 to 8:30 over WRC. EBYRD'S men sailed to the bottom of the world to storm the portals of the South Pole. Cold... 80 degrees below zero % . . knifelike icy gales roaring at 100- mile velocity . . . blinding blizzards . . . darkness. Small wonder then that food for these intrepid men under- went the most searching tests. Chief Steward Greason chose Bokar only after many leading brands of coffee had been compared side by side for weeks and weeks. OKA the PersonaL BLEND of a GReaT Corree PLANTER You too, can enjoy the same coffee that Commander Byrd’s men are now drinking in “Little America” on the bleak Antarctie ice barrier. Your first sip of Bokar will reveal its flavor...richness...smoothness...and its wine-like mellowness. Such a rare blend could only bave been created by a great coffee planter.
