Beauties Make Washington Most Brilliant Democratic Capital !E PRESIDENT'S jack Binns, Hero of Republic,,, Explains How New Invention Will Be Used, MESSAGES AROUND WORLD Simple Apparatus Prevents Sta tions From Interfering With Each Other. Announcement has been made of' lh, invention of Prof. Michael L Puri”, of Columbia University, of a now. apparatus which will revolu- tioviee wireless telegraphy, and may make yomble the sending of wire- let* message* ground the world. Tin Sunday American has secured the services of Jack R liimis, the wireless hero of the Republic dis aster. to explain in terms of the lay man just tchat Prof. Papin's inven tion means. In the tollcnciny article Mr. Hinms analyzes Prof. Papin's dis- cover y. 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 May Girdle the Earth. \fter he has determined which is ’lie nearest vess«-\ or the one which •an lender assistance quickest, he 1 an change to a specified frequency r nil work with rlie operator of that liip without any interference from 5 he other ships. 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- ” Ron i made that it will enable ’ '* wireless to supersede cables. Hoke Smith’s Daughter’s Are Among the Pretty Girls Who Will Enliven Social Festivities of the Wilson Administration. WASHINGTON, April 26 If Pi >. 'ulent Wilson had made an effort, in hoosinsc his cabinet to select men who had beautiful and talented daughters, in order to make his ad ministration socially brilliant. lie couldn't have Improved upon th" members of his little circle of per sonal advisers. The inauguration of the new ad ministration came just at the close of the regular Washington sea9on. The constitution is responsible for this unfortunate circumstance. Con sequently there has been just time enough for a few social affairs—a Lucy Iloke Smith. Senator Hoke Smith's eldest daughter, Washington minor says the pretty Georgia girl is engaged. girl wireless expert MUST MARRY TO WORK BOSTON, April 26.—Margaret A.

But if there should he another female wireless operator, l,r should she marry a wireless oper ator, she may work at the wireles* key. 1 he reason lies in the laws gov- ning the human equipment of wire- p ss stations aboard ship and ashore. *hich were passed after the Titanic -aster. These law- provide for two wireless operators in each station, cupyiag the same quarters, and hat one or the other shall be on •utv at all times. Obviously.

F. and may find eith u a husband or a girl companion. 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 late the house ha a beeu quiet, be cause of Mrs. Smith’s illness. Before il Architect Says Building Should Cost $1,000,000, but Not Overshadow White House. WASHINGTON.

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.
