LATEST INVENTIONS
ELIMINATESTATIC
CHICAGO, May 13.—(8y the As
sociated Press.) —Elimination of the
crackling and buzzing accompanying
radio signals which have proved one
of the greatest obstacles in the de
velopment of that science, has been
, * accomplished by United States army
experts, it was announced today.
■> The invention, which separates all
static noises from the radio signal,
"was perfected by Major J. O. Mau
borgne, signal officer of the Sixth
corps area, and Dr. Louis Cohen ,of
George Washington university, con
sulting engineer of the war depart
ment, after more than two years
experimentation.
The separation of signals from
static noises caused by the electrical
changes in the atmosphere is accom
plished by a drain coil of wire, the
length or which varies with the dis
tance from which signals are re
ceived. The strength of the signal
is not affected by the draining proc
ess, according to Dr. Cohen, and
the signals may even be amplified.
Another recent invention is a res
onance wave coil, by which a radio
j receiving set may be plugged into
an ordinary electric light socket and
radio signals received as well as with
an aerial. This invention, on which
» * a dozen patents are pending, was
, perfected by Major General George
O. Squier, chief signal officer of the
army.
A similar invention was announced
here by B. F. Miessner several days
ago. Miessner, who was a govern
ment expert during the war, said
his work had been separate from the
government investigations.
The draining coil was hooked up
for the first time yesterday with
Major General Squier’s device and
found to work perfectly, Dr. Cohen
said. Signals were picked up with
perfect clarity when static condi
tions were especially bad.
The electric power line method of
transmission holds tremendous com
mercial possibilities, according to
Dr. Cohen, who said that power
companies had been co-operating in
the experimental work fully.
“Eliminating static noises has
( been one of the most serious prob
> lems in radio development,” he said.
“Due to the electrical charges in
the atmosphere, especially In sum
mer, even the largest stations must
shut down at times.
The device perfected by Major
Mauborgne and myself separates
the static noises from the signal,
grounds the noise and leaves the
Signal clear and distinct.
“This is a new and radical depar
ture in receiving radio signals. The
method consists in receiving the
radio signal, passing it through a
very long coil which drains off the
interfering disturbances and leaves
the full strength signal without
noises.”
Static Not Always
Cause of the Queer
Noises in Radio Set
BY G. A. ILER
k • ' Radio Engineer
Anyone who has listened in on a
i radio set during the approach of a
thunder storm has little new to dis
, cover in the way of frying, hissing,
bubbling and sputtering noises. It
is only natural for the listener to
wonder where they all come from.
In general there are just two
kinds of radio noises; the ones that
can’t be avoided and those that can.
In the first class are all of the
natural ones that result from elec
trical disturbances in the ether,
through which all radio waves
travel. It must be remembered that
these waves follow the same laws
and behave in exactly the same man
ner as the waves created “to order”
by man-made machinery.
The second class of noises is the
result of faulty wiring, or in many
cases imperfect or improperly con
structed batteries. Wires must be
tight. It is for this reason that so
many who build radio sets take
special care to solder all joints, even
though binding posts provide a
seemingly tight grip on the wires.
H Another cause of queer noise in
the radio receiver may be found in
the battery.
To a great many people a bat
tery is just a battery, and need only
be considered from a standpoint of
voltage and ampere-hour capacity.
It is true that these things are of
prime importance, but there are
other features of construction de
serving of far more attention than
is commonly given them.
An important feature of the "B”
battery, for example, is that it
must be able to hold its charge for
long periods not only beca i;e of
economy, but because electrical leak
age from cell to cell or from positive
to negative posts of any particular
cell is distinctly a noise producer.
Court Orders Man to

LOS ANGELES, May 12.
“Where may happiness be found?”
This question, propounded here
this week, has been variously an
swered, for Southern California har
bors many seekers after happiness.
They are of many creeds and cults,
all eager in their efforts at self
expression.
The May festival of the Metaphy
sicians is on hand and the gathering
as usual has brought together a
large number of earnest persons,
chiefly women. Frances Speeyer,
metaphysical teacher and healer, is
one of the leaders In thought and
word at the convention and she has
pointed out one of the roads to
happiness.
That road lies in the search for
truth. The search for truth re
quires action, and she says the na
ture of action is up for discussion
among scientists of all kinds. Mo
tion without interruption should be
the goal of all. In other words, it is
a phase of relativity, but in any
event the only person who will know
true happiness is the succssfui
seeker after truth.
“Action is locked in the still cen

Three Killed by
Lightning Bolt
Near Greenville
GREENVILLE, S. C., May 13.
Clifton D. Bolt, 32, superintendent
of the Easley city water and light
plant, and his assistant, A. Cal Mc-
Mahan, 25, were killed, supposedly
by electricity in some mysterious
pumping station one mile from
Easley, S. C.
The bodies of the two men were
discovered by a passerby a short
time after the men had gone to the
pumping station, presumably to
remedy some trouble that had arisen
with the machinery.. Bolt was lying
just outside the house dead, while
McMahan was in a sitting position
inside, with a crowbar across his
legs. Besides a few burns on Mc-
Mahan’s body, neither showed any
sign of violence. The theory is that
a bolt of lightning was conveyed to
the station by the electric supply
wires while the men were in it, dur
ing the severe electric storm that
possed over this section.
An hour or so previous, Miss
Ollie Brown, 20, of Glennwood Mill,
Easley, was instantly killed in her
room when a bolt of lightning struck
outside the house.
Prince of Wales Hurt
In Polo Game, Unable
To Appear at Dinner
MANILA, Philippine Islands, May
13.—The Prince of Wales, who ar
rived here this morning suffered a
slight injury during a polo game
when the player behind him hit a
ball that struck the prince a glanc
ing blow over the right eye, cutting
a gash an inch and a half long. It
was necessary to take two stitches
in the wound.
The wound is not serious. The
prince retired from the game and
returned to the British cruiser Re
nown. He was unable to attend the
dinner and reception that Governor
General Wood had arranged for him.
It was announced the prince will
resume the activities of his visit to
morrow.
self,” she explains. “People are
looking in the wrong direction to dis
cover truth. They must learn that
at the center of things all people
are alike; that there is unity, not
union. It is necessary to draw a
fine distinction.
“Once let a person conceive mo
tion without interruption, and he
has the answer. Understanding mo
tion without beginning or end, men
become as gods in their understand
ing and possibilities of achievement.”
This sort of action, however, has
not appealed at all to another meet
ing in Los Angeles—the designers
of spring clothes for women. Mrs.
Irene Jeffray, of New York, has
other ideas of happiness for women
and expressed them freely. Accord
ing to Mrs. Jeffray the tiger-stripe
bathing suit and the leopard spot
clothes will be introduced this sum
mer to the great improvement of
the thought of the world.
“We are living in an age of
youth,” Mrs. Jeffray said. “Sports
skirts for women are popular be
cause they make one look youthful.
Jazz music is but an expression of
the exuberence of youth. Color
and plenty of it, is usually the em
bodiment of youth.
“That is why I believe in color in
bathing suits and summer sports
clothes. I believe the tiger stripe
bathing suits are going to be very
popular this summer. The leopard
spot sports clothes also will prove
their popularity before the season
wanes. It will be a summer of gay
colors, the expression of youth, and
youth is ♦ happiness. There is no
other way.”
RADIO QUIZ
“Should the set as shown in the
inclosed diagram be able to receive
over a radius of 100 miles? Could
the coils be wound with wire other
than No. 38 wire as shown? Are
the coils proportioned right What
should be the capacities of the con
densers?”—G. W., 229 West North
avenue, Atlanta.
Answer. The set described should
have a receiving radiums of about
100 miles under favorable conditions.
Any small size of copper wire may
be used for the coils, which are
proportionately right, as shown in
the diagram, with the exception of
the tickler, which should be wound
on the same tube and next to the
secondary coil. The condensers for
the grid leak and across the phones
should have a capacity of .00025
mfds; the variable condenser should
be .001 mfd, and a similar one should
be used in series with the aerial
lead-in.
“How far should I be able to hear
wlrh a vacuum tube detector, loose
coupler, variable condenser, six-volt
“A” battery, 22 1-2 volts “B” battery,
rheostat and 3,000 ohms phones?”—
J. P. D., Dublin, Ga.
Answer. You should experience
no difficulty in hearing music from
WSB over a radius of approximate
ly fifty miles with the set described.
Under favorable atmospheric condi
tions you should pick up signals
from powerful stations 500 miles
away.
“In winding my variometer, I find
that the roters will hold about sixty
tarns, while the specifications call
for only thirty-six turns. I am us
ing No. 22 double cotton covered
wire. Which would be best, to in
crease the size of the wire or put
on a greater number of turns?”—J.
L. F., 29 Hemphill street, Atlanta.
Answer. In winding the variome
ter. you will obtain better results
by using larger wire, taking thirty
six turns.

ENGUNDISSICK
OFWMMONGERS
BY GEORGE N. BARNES
British Parliament Leader
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1922.)
LONDON, May 13.—England is
sick of the war mongers. She de
sires—only consistent with honor
and interest—to make provision for
avoidance of future wars. We want
world peace preserved and the
wheels of industry set in motion.
That was the object for calling the
conference of Genoa. In pursuing
those objects Premier Lloyd George
has the backing of the British peo
ple. This conference, now in
progress, possibly may be the last
opportunity of securing these desires
by concerted means.
The apparent friction between
Lloyd George and the French dele
gates, backed by Poincare, has had
a bad effect on public opinion here.
In Great Britain the entente spirit
already had been shaken by the
shocks of the Angora treaty and
the French attitude regarding dis
armament, especially at Washing
ton. We always are mindful of the
past sufferings and losses of France
and we are conscious of the im
portance of Anglo-French solidarity.
But we desire to make the latter a
nucleus of European unity whereas
the present rulers of France seem
disposed to work rather for military
dominance in chaotic Europe. While
delicate negotiations were in prog
ress Poincare, quite unnecessarily,
it seemed to us, threatened isolated
military action against Germany and
put an affront on the British premier
by declining to meet him and other
signatories of the Versailles treaty
with a view to threshing out the
German position. Public opinion
here is troubled by these things and
would not, I am sure, support
France in further military measures
without prior consent. And an over
whelming case would have to be
made out to secure such assent.
It seems certain that if a com
plete agreement cannot be worked
out from the Russian reply just
made to the allied note there must
begin a general scramble for Rus
sian concessions on the part of cap
italists everywhere as they will not
leave Germany free to scoop the
pool. The Russian attitude on finan
cial questions seems to block
progress. No European govern
ment could make itself responsible
for investments that were not prop
erly safeguarded. Yet a satisfactory
solution of all of the economic
problems would seem to be a con
dition precedent to disarmament and
affirmation of the non-aggressive
pact which are the primary objects
of the conference.
On these, though, Russia is will
ing to fall into line and as a matter
of fact is showing a better spirit
than others from whom much more
might have been expected.
With the Russian note at hand,
the obstacles to complete success at
Genoa are two-fold. First, Belgium
and France demand the restoration
of property of all non-nationalists
by Russia rather than the compen
sations which prfibably could be ob
tained from Russia were a united
front to be presented. Second, Rus
sia wants cash, rather than credits
but probably will agree to the latter
when pressed by the powers.
We in this country are willing to
grant credits and facilities in ex
change for guarantees and we are
behind the prime minister in agree
ing to accept compensation for lost
property in Russia, much of which,
of course, could not be restored. We
want peace preserved and industry
resumed.

One perfectly good meteor, guaran

it, although one of those reporting
on the subject gave its weight as

CANE ASSOCIATION IS PUT
ON ACTIVE BASIS AT CAIRO
T. M. Chastain, of Cairo,
Elected President of Co
operative Body Which
Closed Meeting Sunday
BY LOUIS A. POWELL
CAIRO, Ga., May 14.—The Farm
ers’ Co-operative Association was to
day put on an active working basis,
following final conferences of offi
cials here Saturday.
The members of the association,
from five counties of this section,
gathered here yesterday in mass
meeting, heard splendid addresses
from J. J. Brown, commissioner of
agriculture, and J. H. Mills, state
Farmers’ union and elect
ed permanent officers.
A temporary organization was
formed on April 15, but the meet
ings yesterday and today have ef
fected a permanent organization,
and' the board of directors is now en
gaged in working out the problems
connected with the actual market
ing of the products now on hand.
The meeting Friday, which was
well attended, was very enthusiastic,
and perfect harmony prevailed. It
was called to order by the presi
dent-elect, T. M. Chastain, of Cairo,
and prayer was offered by Rev. W.
C. Jones, also of this place.
J. H. Mills then introduced J. J-
Brown, who addressed the meeting
on the benefits to be derived from
co-operative marketing of farm prod
ucts.
“All commercial interests are or
ganized except the farmers,” he said,
“and I have never seen a more op
portune time for them than now.
Brown Is Complinientetd
“I want to put the farmer on the
same basis as the manufacturer in
marketing his products,” he con
tinued, “and I am going to do all
I can to perfect the various neces
sary organizations this year.”
His splendid address was unusual
ly well received, for the members
of the association realize that it was
due to his initiative and work in
the early stages of the organization
period that the wonderful success
that it is. Mr. Brown studied the
California associations and then in
troduced his program of co-operative
marketing in this state.
He put men into the field sev
eral months ago to begin and carry
on the organization work and told
them that if they needed help he
would come. Today these organiz
ers are reviewing their accomplish
ments with pride, and they are prais
ing the cane growers for their en
thusiasm in making the association
possible.
Following Mr. Brown’s address,
the noon recess came. The after
noon session heard inspiring speeches
from J. H. Mills and D. R. Wilder,
who have been assisting in the or
ganization work, after which the

MONROE, Ga., May 13.—The
Fifth District A. & M. school nears
the close of its most successful year,
having had the largest enrollment tn
the history of the school, the total
enrollment having been 213 students.
Os this number 83 were girls and
130 boys. The average attendance
has been 175. The dormitories have
been overflowing all the year, and
every available corner used to house
students.
On April 28 and 29, 1922, the state
contest for the twelve district A. &
M. schools of the state occurred in
Athens, with the result that the
Fifth District A. & M. won three out
of the four banners given at this
meet. The three banners won were
the industrial, the literary and the
grand championship banners.
These contests have been held for
six years, and during that time the
Fifth District A. & M. has won
eleven of the twenty-four banners
offered.
Commencement Program
The alumni banquet will take
place Saturday evening, May 27 at
8:30 o’clock in the dining room. All
the graduates of the school are urged
to be present. After the banquet

sisted by Miss Mary Radford.
Large Graduating Class
The commencement exercises will
be given Wednesday evening, May
31, at 8:30 o’clock, and Dr. Andrew
M. Soule, president of the State Col
lege of Agriculture, will give the ad
dress. The graduating class num
bers forty, and this is the largest in
the history of the school. There are
more graduates this year than the
total of the graduates for the first
fifteen years of the existence of the
school. There will be no charges
for admission to the graduating ex
ercises.
The names and addresses of the
graduates for this year are: Ben

permanent officers were elected.
Proxies had been mailed all mem
bers for use in case they could not
attend.
Officers Named
T. M. Chastain, of Cairo, was
elected president; J, A. Pope, of Bar
wick, first vice president; Graham
Ward, of Cairo, second vice presi
dent, and B. H. Pope, of Cairo, sec
retary and treasurer.
The following were named as di
rectors: T. M. Chastain, L. R. Max
well and Cuy Harrell, Grady county,
C. S. Barwick, Thomas county; G.
C, Hopper of Quitman, from Brooks
and Lowndes counties.
The meeting expressed regret that
H. N. Randolph, attorney for the
war finance corporation, was not
able to attend, he having been de
tained in Atlanta on important bus
iness. A letter from him was read
in which he pointed out the benefits
to be derived by the farmers in
standardizing and grading their
products and in preparing them for
the market.
Resolutions were passed calling
upon the senators from this state
and the representatives from this
section to use their every influence
to have the war finance corporation
continued until July 1, 1923, and to
vote and work for the passage of
the Norbeck-King bill, creating the
national farmers’ finance union with
a capital of $200,000,000 for the pur
pose of financing dependable farm
associations. The resolutions also
extended hearty thanks to the state
officials and others who have as
sisted in bringing the associaton in
to being, and asked the aid of state
and national departments and state
and national farmers union bodies in
marketing the products of the as
sociation.
The members also pledged their
patriotic support and co-operation
to the association and its officials.
The success of the Syrup associa
tion is deemed very important here
in view of the fact that all sections
of the south have their eyes set on
co-operative marketing schemes.
Though work of forming similar as
sociations has already been under
taken, none of them have yet
reached the perfected stage.
Loans Are Available
The laws which make such organ
izations legal have already been
passed in this state, and the federal
officials have recognied the merits
of co-operative marketing schemes.
As a result, the Syrup association is
already in position to secure loans
from the war finance corporation,
and this will be done shortly.
The success of the Syrup associa
tion has attracted the attention of
the Florida can growers and organi
ers are this afternoon and tonight
making speeches in several places
over the cane section of that state
in the interest of forming a similar
association there.
The directors will meet here again
next Thursday, it was announced to
day, for the purpose of actually put
ting on the market the 20,000 cases
of syrup now in the hands of the
association. Cairo rer Nns the cen
ter of the organization, though can
ning plants will be opened both here
and at Quitman.

VALDOSTA, Ga., May 13.—" The
town without a fly” it what all the
south calls us.
We are not absolutely flyless—bpt
we are headed that way. Our town
has proved education is the greatest
need in making successful a cam
paign against these dangerous pests.
Last year, the first of the organ
ized campaign, saw a reduction In
the negro death rate of 35 per cent
over the previous year. Valdosta
is almost rid of flies because we
carried into the Schools and the
home intimate facts about the deadly
menace of flies. Having prepared
the public with education, we con
centrated our fight on the places of
breeding—for it is easier to kill a
million flies before they have wings
than a dozen that can fly.
Opposition developed, but we broke
it down and converted the objectors.
When the owners of two livery
stables refused to clean their own
premises, Recorder Langsdale un-’
earthed a city ordinance under which
he threatened to sentence them to
clean the -’ity streets unless they
joined the board of health’s cam
paign.
Dr. T. M. Vinson, druggist, main
tained the anti-fly campaign could
not succeed. He was not only con
verted, but developed a fly-killer of
his own.
The campaign of education was
started by setting up fly hatcheries
on street corners to show the filthy
origin and habits of the pests. Fruit
jars were fastened on stands by Boy
Scouts and under a cloth cover were
shown actual fly eggs, larvae and
adult flies.
After inducing everybody to keep
his premises clean, we arranged for
the wide distribution of approved fly
poisons and persuaded hotel and
home owners ‘o build fly screen ves
tibules outside their kitchen doors.
Killing flies ie easiest in hot
weather, when they only live a few
days. If you keep at it you will
succeed.

EDDY ASTOR VISITS
CHILDHOOD HOME
BY JOHN ARCHER CARTER
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., May
13. —Lady Nancy Astor today bids
good-bye to Mirador, her girlhood
home. After three “precious days”
in old Albemarle county, she is
taking a train for Chicago, once
more to brave the maelstrom of
America’s clamorous hospitality.
After days and nights of the
severe strain of continuous recep
tions and never ending demands for
words from her lips, Nancy Lang
horne came “home” to rest. Tues
day night last she arrived. Today
she said she was fit again.
Though she has not been stopping
at Mirador, the farm where her fa
ther, “Chilly” Langhorne, establish
ed his large family after he had
won wealth in Richmond, Lady
Astor has been near neough to steal
an hour or so now and then to stroll
about the rugged scenes of her ad
venturous days. Her party has
been entertained at Rose Hill, the
home of Mrs. W. R. Massey, an old
friend. Rose Hill is but a fe z w miles
from Mirador.
When she reached Greenwood,
the nearest railroad station, Tuesday
night, Lady Astor immediately set
out for Rose Hill. She was very
tired. But one night in the country
air of old Virginia seemed complete
ly to refresh her and though her
friends advised against it, she made
a hurried motor trip to Mirador,
anxious to see the old place again
at the very first opportunity.
Wednesday afternoon the country
side turned out to give her formal
welcome. Many playmates of her
youth, their fathers and mothers,
and the usual number of curious
newcomers in the community gath
ered at the tiny church near Mi
rador, where she once was a com
municant, to shake her hands and
listen to her sparkling epigrams.
Lesterday Lady Astor was enter
tained here at the University of Vir
ginia, but Thursday was her own, to
do with as she pleased. Mirador
claimed much of the sunshiny day;
Mirador, where the honeysuckles,
sing into blomo, and the rochards
with their labyrinth of gaudy trees
are tossing perfume everywhere, Mi
rador, where the big brick mansion
smiles across the lawn to welcome
home the prodigal.
Traipsing idly about the farm,
where she graduated from tomboy
into beautiful maturity, Lady Astor
revelled in a day of recollections.
There were stables where father
“Chilly’s” blood horses were groom
ed, and from that rock she had leap
ed to the back of a spirited animal
to follow the fox) hounds all over
Albemarle county and down the
hill, over the fence, was where she
used to join the boys of the neigh
borhood, fishing pole over her shoul
der, and a can of bait in her hand.
The sun was shining and the birds
singing at Mirador on Thursday.
The British parliament seemed, oh,
so far away.
Many poor hearts of Albemarle
have been cheered by this visit of
Lad Astor’s, for in her ramblings
about the old home place she has
stopped at shack after shack to in
quire how Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mose,
and all the rest of “you all have
been cornin’ on.” To .all she is the
same.
“Lawd, Miss Nan, you ain’t chang
ed one bit, honey.”
If she heard it once she heard It
a hundred times, for Nancy Astor
has been home.
