BY JACK R. BINNS.
Professor Michael I. Pupin, of Co
lumbia University, yesterday gave out
the details of his invention which
will revolutionize wireless telegraphic
ommunication.
By making selective tuning possi
ble, he solves one of the fundamen
tal difficulties in the commercial use
of wireless and makes several sta
tions in proximity to each other to
work at the same time without fear
of interference. Beside this, the in
vntion over longer distances with
low power.
In congested areas, such as New
York Harbor, wireless work is now
• uced to a minimum on account of
interference caused by several
>perators sending messages at the
same time.
How He Solved the Problem.
While other experimenters were
trying to produce an instrument that
would only respond to a certain wave
ength, and so make tuning possible
Professor Pupin turner! his attention
1o the frequency of the wave and has
practically solved the problem.
He has perfected an instrument
that will enable two stations using
the same frequency, to work with
^aeh other while other stations, using
a different frequency, are busy in the
same vicinity.
To accomplish this he utilizes a re
volvin'** coil in the aerial circuit. The
wires between the masts of a ship
are connected with one end of a coil
of wire and the other end of the coil
is grounded in the usual manner. In
side the soil is another coil which re
volves and is connected to the receiv
ing circuit.
Adjustment ^ery Easy.
These two coils are the invention
w hich the professor calls his “indue
ior." By increasing or diminishing
the speed with which the inner coil
revolves it is possible to place the
receiving instruments in tune with
any possible frequency used in wire-
ess. .When the inductor is set to
receive a particular frequency it will
not respond to any other, thus doing
away with interference.
The conductor also increases the
strength of the wave, thereby in-
4 reasing its range. When used in
' onnection with the transmitting ap
paratus it produces an almost perfect
wave, which allows closer tuning on
part of the receiving station.
In case of shipwreck the operator
°n the disabled .-hip can send out a
general distress call on a standard
frequency

\fter he has determined which is

ITofe sor Pupin announced his in-
' ntion before the American Philo
sophical Society in Philadelphia Sat-
111 day. Dr. Klihu Thomson, in charge
the General Electric Company's
p'ant ;it Lynn, Mass., said it would
m ikf it possible to transmit mes-
Ggps completely around the globe.
The inductor has been completely
MD-oessful in the tests and the pre-

Hoke Smith’s Daughter’s Are

WASHINGTON, April 26 If Pi >.

who had beautiful and talented
daughters, in order to make his ad
ministration socially brilliant. lie

taste, as it were, of the brilliance
that is to come.
Despite the fact that President
Wilson avers modestly that he has
no intention of becoming renowned
as an entertainer, and that he rather
deprecates the thought that the pre
vailing Jeffersonian simplicity is
about to expand into social glory,
Washington will be the most brilliant
Democratic capital in the world as
soon as the social season starts up
next winter. It may be that Presi
dent Wilson can’t help himself. Pret
ty girls—especially real Americans—
have been known to rule things in
their own sweet way.
To begin with, there are the Pres
ident’s own daughters, and if a Pres
ident can’t suppress the charms of
his own family, he can’t very well
be expected to suppress those of the
families of his cabinet officials.
Wilson Girls Popular.
The President’s three daughters
have been in Washington less than
three months, and they have already
established themselves on their own
talents and popularity, and not on
their father’s greatness. Miss Mar
garet Wilson, the eldest daughter, is
a musician, and a good one, with all
the poise of the professional. Miss
Jessie Wilson, the second daughter,
is talented in quite another way. Not
because she is serious, or reflective,
but simply because she is an ad
vanced young woman, she is interest
ed in sociological problems and has
given them much study. In fact,
She has made a number of public
speeches on topics of particular in
terest to working women, and has
won considerable fame for her
knowledge of the subjects. The
youngest daughter, Miss Eleanor
Wilson, paints, plays tennis, and
loves dancing.
The three daughters of the Presi
dent are very much liked in society,
although so little has been seen of
them in the few weeks they have been
here.
While nearly every girl in the cab
inet circle is strikingly pretty. Miss
Nona McAdoo. daughter of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, is perhaps
the btauty of the cabinet. At least
Miss Nona McAdoo, reigning
beauty of the Democratic Ad
ministration..
she is so called. It is foTtunate for
her that she has both beauty and
charm, because she has an Impor
tant position to fill. Having no
mother, she must preside in her fath
er’s household, and the position of
a cabinet hostess is attended with
many responsibilities.
Two Burleson Beauties.
Postmaster General Burleson has
two daughters, Sidney and Lucy
Burleson. They are not quite ready
to plunge into the whirl of Washing
ton society, but they are making
preparations. At present they are in
school at Sweet Briar College, Vir
ginia. They were in Washington for
a week during inauguration, and
again at Easter, and each time they*
went back to school regretfully. They
write, sing, and paint, and they are
bound to take an active part as soon
as their parents say they are old
enough to really enter society at
the Capital.
Another cabinet daughter is Miss
Agnes Hart Wilson, daughter of the
new Secretary of Labor. Miss Wil
son has done things few girls can
claim to equal* For a long time she
acted as a clerk for her father, there
by becoming an authority on labor
questions, and she owns a gold watch
studded with diamonds, a tribute of
a labor organization for her part in
straightening out some of its trou
bles.
Then, of course, there are the
daughters of Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, formerly a member of the
Cabinet. Callle Hoke Smith, the
younger of the two daughters. Is
still in school, but Miss Lucy Hoke
Smith is in the very center of things
social, and is very, very popular. It
i* sraid—and this is to be observed
in a strictly confidential way, because
there has been no announcement —
that she is engaged to a dashing
young naval officer. The residence of
Senator Smith, on California Avenue,
has been the scene of many house-
parties. dinners, dances and other
festivities in the past few weeks. ' >f

Fair Sex Rival Officers in Cavalry
Drill Held at Fort
Myer.
WASHINGTON. April 26. Women
are now rivalling the stern *ex as
cavalr.N nun.
The manner iu which they diilied
:«t Fort Mver showed that women aiv
thoroughly capable of mastering the
maul dlffic ult movements of the drill
ground. In daring they were no* at
all behind the men, either officers or
enlisted men
'There were soup remarkably ex
pert and chiring exhibitions of riding
by enlisted men of the regular av- j
airy and by officer*, but the big’
drawing card, the real nenaationa! j
event *>f a recent drill, was the
cavalry maneuvers in which the
women vied with the men for honors.
The flower of American women rid
ers participated in the drill, and on
the program there were many names
well known in society and famous!
wherever the horse is king either in
America or Europe, and even in In
dia. for Miss Agra Bennett, one of
the young women who took part,
made a name for herwelf in India for
the way in which she sat and handled
the Arabian ponies «he rode there.
The drill was called a ‘cotillon,"
but In actuality it was a good stiff
cavalry drill, and the maneuvers are
considered far from easy even for the
regular cavalry officers, who partici
pated on an equal footing with the
women.
There is just enough element of
danger on cavalry maneuvers of this
nature o attract the women who took
part In them.
