PHOTOS FLASHDD BY RADIO
UNITS OF PICTURES TRAVEL
6,136 MILES IN FOURTH OF
SECOND.
New York.—An ordinary photo
graphic negative was placed in a pbo
toradlographlc machine in Honolulu,
a beam of light placed through it and
the complicated began
dicing.
One fourth of a second later another
machine in New York, 5,136 miles
away, began dotting and dashing out
a copy of the' negative.
Twenty minutes later thee machine
in New York had inked in the last dot
of a complete positive—making a suc
cess of the transmission of a photo
graph by radio across the Pacific
ocean.
Seven times this process was repeat
ed, and seven pictures of persons and
events connected with the Hawaiian
maneuvers of the American army and
navy of last week appeared In early
afternoon editions of New York news
papers.
This was the first attempt to trans
mit pictures by radio and telegraph
over such a distance. The promoters
of tbe test, the Radio Corporation of
America, with the co-operation of the
United States army, hailed is success
as another stride forward in the
opment of radio transmission of pic
tures. Similar attempts six months
ago across tbe Atlantic also were suc
cessful but that test presented no such
distance nor difficulties as this feat.
Between Honolulu and New York
not a human hand Intervened in the
process, although four relays were
necessary, each accomplished automat
ically by linked receiving and trans
mitting devices.
Tbe radiophotogrphic machine at
Honolulu, with Its light beam varying
in Intensity with tbe lights and shades
of tbe negative, suited the series of
dots, dashes and spaces on the first
lap of their journey, 29 miles by tele
graph wire to tbe high power radio
transmitting apparatus at Kahuku.
Island of Oahu.
Automatically the wire currents
were changed to radio waves for a
2.372 mile leap across the eastern
Pacific to a receiving station at Mar
shall, Calif., which turned them again
Into telegraph current for a 19 mile
wire relay to the tranamittlng station
at Bolignas, Calif., where once more
the Kahuku process was repeated to
dispatch the picture on Its transcon
tinental leap of 2640 miles to the radio
receiving station at Riverhead, L. I.

pictures were delivered at the afflces

Whiskey Prloe Rises.
New York. —New York coast guard
officials, claiming that their three
day old blockade of the Atlantic rum
fleet continued 100 per cent affective,
put the stamp of seeming permanency
on this new phase of the anti-wet war
by issuing a call for between 400 and
600 guardsmen recruits for the local
district
It became knowa, too, that the drive
for recruits Is more .or less a &at tonal
thing, similar campaigns being In pre
paration at Norfolk, Washiagtoa, Bal
timore, and Boston.
The blockade was tightened, a score
or more rujp chasers leaving the local
and other nearby bases for the line of
action. Most of tire boats were said to
be being sent to the
row to relieve some of the smaller,
which have been oa the Job since the
blockade opened In heavy seas and

PUN PROPOSED
TO SELL SHIPS
VESSELS WOULD BE OPERATED
UNDER SUPERVISION OF GOV.
ERNMENT AGENCIEB.
New York. —Recommendations to
make possible the sale of the govern
ment-owned fleets and its successful
operation by American companies had
before President Coolidge by the
American Steamship Owners associa
tion, the Shipowners Association of the
Pacific and the ( Pacific-American
Steamship company, were made pub
lic, and they urged the creation of two
special agencies to determine the ex
tent of service to be carried on and
the amount of direct national aid
through mail pay and other compensa
tion. Included In these organizations
are almost all the owners of ocean
going tonnage under the American
flag-
Tbe program favors also reduction
of the shipping board from seven
members to three, and continuance in
some form of the fleet corporation,
under the control of the secretary of
commerce or a secretary of marine, to
supervise operation of the essential
steamship services pending liquida
tion.
Other recommendations include ex
tension of the coastwise laws to the
PhiUipines when the President deems
it expedient, evemption of coast trade
from Panama Canal tolls, freedom of
ships to transfer to foreign registry
except in national emergency, reduc
tion in Panama Canal tolls, extension
of the present consolidation loan fund
with the stipulation that vessels so
benefitted must remain in foreign
trade until loans are repaid.
The government is asked to relin
quish to privately-owned American
ships the carrige of government sup
plies and troops in time of peace and
to convey all government officials and
employes and all government cargoes
in such vessels.
The secretary of commerce, the
postmaster general, the secretary of
the navy, the director of the budget,
and one or two other American citi
zens experienced in shipping, would
constitute one of the agencies recom
mended. To the second of these
agencies the chairman of the shipping
board would I>e added. -
These groups would determine the
extent of the services to be carried on
by passenger and by cargo ships, es
sential to national defense and pro
motion of foreign trade, and also the
amount of direct national aid neces
sary to maintain the mail, passenger
and cargo services of the merchant
marine in overseas trade.
Governor Would Btop Suit.
Jackson, Miss. —Disclaiming all re
sponsibility (or the anti-trast suit filed
by State Revenue Agent A. J. Miller,
in which the state seeks to Impose
sl2/000,000 penalties against the Ford
Motor comjmay, Governor H. L. Whit
field upon Mr. Miller to bring
about'dismissal of the suit "out of re
gard to Misslsssippi's position In the
eyes of the world."
The governor's statement, after de
claring th«t the revenue agent had
not consulted with him before filing
the suit, contends that "the filing of
the suit is fraught with most unfortu
nate consequences for Mississippi."
Would Observe Day Each Year.
Washington.—General staff plans
for making Defense day a regular an
nual event to be held each year coin
cident with Armistice day exercises,
November 11, have beten completed
and await only White House approval
to be put in motion. The project is
expected to be presented to the Presi
dent soon for final action, with urgent
recommendations of the reserve offi
cers association that it be approved.
Pending such approval, details of
tile staff plan are not available. It
was formulated, however, after a care
ful study of reports from all corps
area commanders and from national
guard and reserve officers all over the
country, and is believed to follow
cloaely the recommendations of the as
sociation of reserve officers.

MINISTERS GIVEN LOCAT.ON
COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMI-
NARY CLOSES SCHOOL
YEAR.
j Nashville, Tenn/—With the election
of two treasurers, the acceptance of
a budget of $1,400,000 as a minimum
appropriation for missionary work for
1926 and the holding of a night session
honoring the memory of missionaries
who have died since the last annual
meeting, the board of missions, Metho
dist Episcopal church, south, rounded
out their work.
It was considered probable that the
business of tbe board would be com
pleted. when administrative secretar
ies, bisbops in charge and missionar
ies will report on the work iq> the
Latin-American fields, to be followed
by a meeting of the Centenary com
mission. The leaders concluded re
ports on the Oriental fields.
The election of J. F. Rawls, of Suf
folk. Va., as treasurer of the board,
filled a vacancy caused by the death
of J. D. Hamilton, of Nashville, Mr.
Rawlg succeeding W. M. Cassetty,
Nashville, acting treasurer.
Mrs. Ina Davis Fulton, of Sherman,
Texas, was elected to succeed Mrs.
■F. H. E. Ross, Nashville, resigned,
treasurer of the woman's department
of the board, effective July 1.
The board set December 10 as the
date for a special meeting, when bud
get appropriations tentatively agreed
upon,, contingent upon the response
from the church-wide appeals tor mis
sions, will be allotted to the rqsepc
tive fields of mission work.
This decision, it was declared,
would likely bring to Nashville the
winter meeting of the College of Bish
ops, all of whom are members of the
board of missions.
The tentative budget carries I a
church-wide appeal of $750,000 for mis
sions and of this amount 1610,000 is
the minimum sum required to com
plete tbe $1,400,000 budget.
The suggestion of the estimate
committee as to the basis of appropria
tions provided a total of $1,015,114.04
for foreign mission work and $329,-
831.57 for the deartment of home mis
sions.
The estimates made by the admin
istrative secretaries of the woman's
department for the foreign mission
section aggregated $592,310, a sub
stantial decrease from the 1925 basis,
it was said. For the home •mission
section 1347.110.8S was f»ked.
War Against Rum.
New York.—Naval warfare against
rum smugglers, with the government's
dry fleet blockading the coast from
Boston to Atlatic City, inspired tke
country's land enemies of bootleg
gers to redouble their efforts.
As more than *0 coast guard boats,
manned by 400 men and assisted by
13 seaplanes, patrolled the sea, the
forces ashore dug np a legal weapon
which prohibition officials asserted
probably would prove as deadly as tbe
fleet's warfare. This was the discov
ery of a provision in the tariff law of
1922 providing that compensation
would be given informers who assist
the government in the arrest and con
vtcttion of violators of the prohibition
law.
While this was the most important
development of the ru mwar ashore.
It was not the only one. United
States District Attorney Buckner an
nounced that he had Joined forces

Rum Smugglers Fight Back.
Washington.—The rnm smugglers'
armada on the Atlantic is fighting
back.
Mobilisation of the coast guard's
fleet in an attempt to drive the sup
ply ships to sea and destroy rum row
has been answered with a counter
offensive. Coast guard officials de
clared that the situation was tanta
mount to guerilla warfare from the
standpoint of the coast guard crews.
Assistant Secretary Andrews, the
field marshal of the prohibition forces,
and Rear Admiral Btllard, command
ant of the coast guard, are in a serious
m£>od. Admiral Blllard recognises that
the situation has developed into what
Almost amounts to a war to the death,
and he plans to do the best Job his
power and facilities permit.
"It's a big Job, a hard Job," Mr. An

to worry it out and I went through this
for three years before I began taking
the Vegetable Compound which I saw
advertised. I think it was eight bottles
that I took. It has been two years since
I took any and I haven't had a doctor
since for thst trouble, I do all my
washing and ironing and I have gained
from 116 to 188 pounds. I feel so well
I think I do not need any medicine now,
but I advise all women who suffer phy

Vegetable. Compound a fair trial. I
hope it will do as much for them as it
did for me. "—Mrs. T. A. SAUNDERS,
