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.
But consider some of the refine

Dr. Huston, the founder of the
Huston Truss Co., of New York
City, who personally makes this
visit to our Citv is one of the
HIGHEST AUTHORITIES on Rup
ture in the country. 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.

ments of the device.
“It is absolutely secrc'.. Outsiders
cannot tune in. 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.”

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.

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.

it as “a piece of vaudeville.”
“The west,” observed Senator
Capper, “can get along without the
Republican party but the Republi
can party can’t get along without
the west.” If these men become
out-and-out progressives, the cau
cus will have . strengehtnede, not

EGYPT
When the League of Nations
council meets this month the league
is going to get a severe test.
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.
The basis of the trouble is that

And this, children, is none
other than the Hon. Stanley-
Baldwin, prime minister of
Great Britain. No doubt, you’ve
seen better likenesses of him,,
but you must remember this pic
ture came all the wav from Lon
don to New York in just 20 min
utes. 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.
