PAGE SIX HERE THEY ARE--PHOTOGRAPHS TRANSMITTED BY RADIO ACROSS ATLANTIC OCEAN LAST SUNDAY Photo Radiograms May Bring Paris Styles In 24 Hours BY GEORGE NEA Service Writer. NEW YORK, Dec. 3 —Within 24 hours after the first successful wire less transmission of pictures across the Atlantic, a Fifth avenue costum er was seeking exclusive rights to transmit photographs of the latest Parisian modes. And there’s no doubt or joke about the possibilities of the new “photoradiogram” for sending im portant documents across wide spaces and obtaining important sig natures quickly. It can be done with absolute accuracy and safety. News pictures can be flashed around the world in time for fivft editions. In fact, it is a scientific possibili ty to build a radio telephone which permits the parties to see one an other. Young lovers, divided by the rolling ocean, may hear each other’s voices and gaze into each other’s eyes. “Possibility” is the I g word in this latter idyllic picture* emphasiz es Maj. Gen. J. G. Harbord, presi dent of the Radio Corporation of America, in whose laboratories the “photo radiogram” was developed. The seeing telephone hasn't been built yet, and it may never become commercially practical. But prin ciples now known make it possible. ' “The radio transmission of pic tures probably is the greatest de velopment of wireless in many years,” General Harbord says. “The transmission of pictures from Europe by wireless is an achievement which speaks for itself.

He emphati cally states that “Any reducible rupture regardless of its size, how long standing, or age of the sub ject ,can be held in its normal po sition by our truss, with perfect comfort and relief, if the truss is properly fitted to the case.” Each Huston Truss is selected, made and fitted, by Dr. Huston especially for the person who is to wear it. Expert fitting with over thirty years of scientific knowledge of rupture enables us to produce results not obtained by any other truss. It is the last word in truss manufacture—no under leg straps or bulky pads are used in its con struction, nothing to wear out Clean and sanitary. Our Hold and Cure Pad (It will not slip) This pad developed after years of experiment, will hold any rup ture, relieve the pressure from within, stimulate the tissues to contract, and permanently close the opening in the majority of cases. Wear a Huston Truss and get re sults. SLEEP IN IT—BATHE IN IT. Do not miss this chance to have this truss made for you—it may not come again. No charge for ad 'vice or demonstration.

The raie of sending can be regulated to an accuracy of one point in a hundred thousand. Unless the exact rate is known, any one receiving the impulses will get only a blur. Furthermore it is pos.- sible to code it, so that translation is necessary to get a picture. “It is subject to f ir less interfer ence from static than sound trans mission. It is comparatively cheap. And it still is the infancy of its development.” The invention is the woik of Cap tain R. H. Ranger, engineer for the Radio Corporation, assisted by Al fred Koenig, Donald G. Ward, Karl Macllvaine and William Paley. Nearly two years ago they start ed .just after Owen D. Young, chair man of the board of the General Electric Company, had said lightly at a banquet that he wished to see an operator just press a button “and. zip!, the first page of the London Times will be reproduced in New York.” By July, 1923, the engineers had succeeded in sending a picture of General Harbord by wireless. That picture is a treasure of the labora tory, a tangle of bluish lines,' dim but recognizable, printed through the air slowly and painfully. Later they discarded the system of that transmission and developed anoth er. “It is an bld quest, this electrical transmission of pictures,*’ says Cap tain Ranger, red-headed young en gineer who came up through the Massachusetts Tech and the army signal corps. “An Englishman by |he name of Bain worked on it about 1842, and his principle was absolutely correct But he was handicapped by the lack of instruments. We started from the ground up, with only the gen eral basis of radio transmis sion. “The picture is sent from a revolv ing cylinder and printed on another which revolves at exactly the same speed. To synchronize ti e sending and receiving cylinders was as bard a problem as any in the entire in vention. “In sending, light shines through the picture, one tiny point at a time. Its intensity is regulated by the lights and darks of the picture. This light strikes a tub? much re sembling an ordinary radio tube, lined with potassium. I’ is know, that when such a tube is lighted, current passes through it mor? easily than when it is in darkness. Therefore, the varying degrees of light shining through the picture! onto the tube regulate Jhe strength of electric impulses flowing through the tube.” FOR QUICK SERVICE AND HEAVY HAULING PHONE 121 WOOTTEN TRANSFER CO.

What's Going OUTCASTS— EGYPT— « PLOTS— MEXICO On in World BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer Cocky ovpr victory at the recent election, it wau the younger element’ of Republican senator.? who voted | to cast Senators La Follette, Brook-! hart, Frazier and Ladd out of tbe.r party just before Congress riiet on Dec. 1. Most of the wise old-timers, though out numbered' at the caucus which expelled the quartet, objected vigorously. Why? Well, there are several senators who, while not quite as advanced as La Follette, Brookhart, Frazier and Ladd, nevertheless are pretty liberal in their views—men like Senators Borah, Norris, Howell, Cap per, Couzens and Hiram Johnson. Experienced politicians are afraid the caucus’ action will anger them, too, and end in a bad naity split. * * * Vaudevilla There’s reason for the old-timers" anxiety. Senator Borah fought the expulsion proposition in the caucus itself. Senator Norris referred to High Blood Pressure j Often Brought On by an Unhealthy Liver Diseases of heart, kidneys, blood vessels due to body poisons Medical science knows that poi sonous waste in our bodies would actually cause death in a few days if not eliminated by Nature’s proc esses. Because it destroys these deadly poisons, the liver is our most important organ—the body’s wonder ful purifier. The liver prevents the formation of body poisons that cause diseases of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels and are chiefly responsible for prema ture old age. When the liver becomes weak, the poisons are sucked up by the blood and health is broken down. Physi cians know that the liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Na ture substance has been discovered which will at once increase the vital . bile supply. The discovery is puri fied ox gall. Get from your druggist a pack age of Dioxol. Each tablet contains ten drops of purified ox gall. In 24 hours the poison toxins will be* removed. Your liver will be regu lated. Blood purification will begin. Sallow skin will clear. You will feel I so much better you will know you ; have found the cause of your ill i health. Dioxol tablets are harmless, , tasteless and cost less than two cents ; each. These genuine ox gall tablets rfre prepared only under the name “Dioxol." If any tablet is offered you under another name, refuse it. Accept only Dioxol in the original, genuine package. Dioxol is especially recommend ed by E. L. Murray Pharn.acy.

In penalty for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack, English command er of the Egyptian army, Britain imposed very humiliating conditions on Egypt—conditions similar to those Austria tried, to impose on Serbia when Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated, bring ing on the World War. Zagloul Pasha, Egyptian premier, said he would do his best to punish Stack’s murderers but he wouldn’t admit, in effect, as Britain demand ed, that his government was to blame for the crime. Rather than do so he resigned and the Egyptian parliament appealed from Englantl to the League of Na tions. ♦ » ♦ Plots In the meantime the British are arresting many prominent Egyp tians, charging anti-British plots. The Egyptian troops in the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan have mutinied against -their British officers and fighting is going on between British fortes and the mutineers.

It is one of the first batch ever sent from Europe to Amer ica by radio. Egypt wants complete freedom and England will let her have it only “on a string.” The Egyptians have their own king, Fuad, but the real ruler is the British “high commis sioner,” Lord Allenby. The fact that the army commander is Englisa speaks for itself. Britain denies the league’s right to interfere, on the ground that. Egypt practically belongs to her, so the matter is domestic, not interna tional. SATURDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 6, 1924 WANTED ! All of your Frying size Chickens —hens and eggs.
