&EJUVdE SIGNALS HEARD BY WHLELE09 OPE&ATOBS :*# /<<""? ?' ' I 'Whether Or lfot They Came From Mars, However, Far From Being Known? Birtiah and American Experts Make Efforts To Tune In On The Planet Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 23. ? The regular signal*, blotting other signals which have led radio experts to con sider seriously the theory that Mara Is trying to "tune In." wore received at the Point Gray wireless station again Friday and were also heard by the wireless expert at the merchants exchange. "The signal baa been noticed at the same hour practically every day fpr four weeks or more," declared C. W. Melllsh, wifeless operator at the government station at Point Grey today. "It Is absolutely distinctive and cannot be attributed to any known Instrument or to statis or to leaking trans formers in Vancouver." This morning the signal which dominated the airlines was heard at 6:20 and at 7:12; at the same time to the minute that they came In on the previous days. It again came In four groups of four dashes ? or rather four "zipps" so powerfull that they could not be "tuned out." London. August 23. ? An attempt by British wireless experts to "listen In" on Mars resulted in strange noises be ing heard at one o'clock this morning. The source of the noises could not be ascertained by tho experts. The attempt was made on a 24 valvj (tube) set erected on a hill at Dulwlch. Representatives of the Ma-conl Com pany and of London universities were present. Tuning in started at 12:30 o'clock a. m., and at 1 a. m. on a 30.000 metre radius sounds were heard which could not be identified as coming from an earthly station. The sounds were llnkened to harsh dots, but they could not be inter preted as Morse code. The noises con tinued on and off for three minutes In groups of four and five dots. Norfolk, Va? Aug. 23. ? Queer radio signals were picked up hero Friday. As to whether they had any connec tion with the visit of the planet Mars or were merely a coincidence, local wlreles experts would not venture an opinion. Just before 1 o'clock and shortly after government sending stations had broadcast orders to all naval re- J ceiving stations to be on the alert for any possible Martian messages | B. A. Mabry and B. G. Cowan, in charge of the powerful receiving set j in the office of the chief dispatcher of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway.! picked up a message unlike anything they had ever h?ard. The message was not in any known code and the tone was described as "distant and warbling like a far away train whistle." As near as they could make out, the radio men said, the signals correspond to WF Id the University code, but was com posed of a queer mixtnre of dots and dashes. It continued for about 15 min utes. The railway set, one of the most powerful in this section, was tuned j In at 2,300 meters. Both Mabry and . Cowan are veteran operators. Arctic MARS GOES TO FB05T AS A TOPIC OF COXVEKSATIOX San Francisco, Aug. 22. ? The an- , clent sideral swashbuckler. Mars, no"* i believe by some celestial observers | <0 be declining Into a mere astral roue Friday took the lead over radio, moon-} shine, baseball and politics as a topic ; of conversation among laymen on the I Pacific Coast. j This was due to the assertions of astronomers that our nearest plane tary neighbor had arrived at a point nearer to the earth than he has been fpr more than 100 yeBrs, or a mere 34,000,000 miles away. This is 14,000, 00 miles nearer than his usual dis tance. While the man In the street was speculating on the possibility 6f this brother speck In the cosmos being in habited and astrologers were comput ing the effect of its proximity on the disposition and fortunes ol men, train ed observers at Mount Hamilton near San Jos*, and at Mount Wilson, near Los Angeles, had their telescopes, cameras, mirrors and spectroscopes trained on the passerby to record any idiosyncrasy he may display. Else where the radio, with Its greedy anten nae, is groping in the ether for any thing available the sphere might by some chance cast off. While the more credulous and ro mantic are hopeful of some signs that may nerve to link the earth a little closer to the solar brotherhood, the skeptical scientists in the mountain observatories said the most they had hbped for wm a little knowledge with respect to tMe atmosphere and climat ic condition* on Mars The astrono mers e*pect it will take months to -t? !?? i ? u - and how Pro of the Uck Ob said to platae ORGANIZED EFFORT TO DISRUPT CO-OPERATIVE TOBACC ASSOCIATION ( Continued from Page One!

He Bald that the move* ment reached the surface last Thurs ' day in Halifax. He was careful to . point out It was not a South Boston I enterprise. He also said that the con' tracts were being signed "not very ' rapidly." | W. L,. Seymore, proprietor of a real estate organization at South Bos .ton and designated by name In the ("contract" spoke differently. He said I that the contract was being signed ' in large numbers ? just how many he i could not say ? adding that farmers j were coming forward and signing It (voluntarily and without solicitation, irsisted that the movement was not designed to disrupt the organiza tion but to afford a definite answer to the delays in making payments to the members and what is being done with the money being received for pooled tobacco. It was stated here that I the books of the association are audi ted every year ?nd that the result Is obtainable by all bona fide members When Mr. Seymour was asked how he and others came to be associated with the organization he replied by saying that he had been approached by "about 25 farmers." They were not named. The committees to disburse the fund now being collected Is to be named, he says, within a few days. W. S. Holt Jr.. who Is named In the contract is described as being an auto mobile dealer In South Boston. Complaint has been voiced from time to time over delayed payments for to bacco to members, but the strength of the organization established two years ago has appeared to be intact | outwardly. Not many weeks ago a sec j ond payment of 12 per cent was made on the 1923 crop this amounting to $2,300,000 In the bright belt. Another similar payment Is definitely promls I ed on September 15th which will bring the total payment on that crop to 75 | per cent of the bankers' valuation. ? ? [Greensboro Dally News.

FOREST WEAVER SPEAKS (Continued from Firat Page) seemed to be perfectly at bome Id the Uulpit and to know Just what he ?u dolott Every ear (trained to catch his words. His voice was deep and clear but quiet and penetrating. He was heard distinctly In every part of the* building. He read John 3:1-18 In a very Impressive manner, and then he led In Prayer. Those who heard hla prayer were surely Impressed with his deep sincerity and his earnestness, and were prepared for the devout spirit In vtfilch he presented his sermon after another musical selection. His text was John 3:18: "for God so loved the world, that He gave his only Begotten son.<that whosoever be lleveth In Him should not perish but have everlasting life." His theme wm "God's Love" and he stuck close to his subject and. his text all the way through. He did not read his sermon and it was quite evident that he was not reciting declamation. If he used notes he did so inconspicuously that it could not be detected. He did not want. He spoke calmly and yet with intense earnestness for thirty minutes. It was evident that he had made thor ough preparation. He made four dis tinct points, vli: First he dwelt on "The world" as the object of God's love; next on Gods giving of His son a? the language of God's love; then' on the purpose of Gods love as being "that they should not perish but have everlasting life;" and finally faith as the only means of expressing our re sponse to God's lore, based on the words of the text, "Whosoever bellev eth." He used a number of very force ful Illustrations which were aptly ap plied. No one who heard him but will have a more vivid appreciation of di vine love. It had been the Intention to fol low the sermon with an appeal for converts but the aisles were bo block ed with people, and the crowd was so packed together that any movement toward the altar would have been Im possible. This was a great disappoint ment, for this is the first sermon For rest has yet preached which was not followed Immediately by definite de cisions for the christian life .Pastor Mclver urged that the message be tak en solomnly to heart and at the first opportunity afterward those who are ?wot christians embrace the love of God and his gift of eternal life. Then Forrest led in another earnest and heart touching prayer for his unsaved friendg In Louisburg. Forrest Is a product of this com munity. He was born in the country near here fourteen years ago and has lived here In town nearly ever since that time. He has finished his- first year of high school here. He has al ways attended Sunday school and church at the Baptist church, and a little more than two years ago when he was Just past his twelfth birthday Be was converted in a revival meeting, largely through the Influence of Mr. Mclver, the pastor. He immediately Joined the church and was baptized by Mr. MclveT. v-A year later in a meeting conducted by Dr. Raye E. York the Evangelist of the Money-York-Josey party, For rest was one of a large number of LoulBburg young people who volun teered for some form of christian work aa a life vocation. Forrest immediately announced that he Intended to be oome a minister. He some how im pressed Dr. York as a boy of unusual talentr and he arranged to have For rest with him a part of the time last JWl nti? Within two or three evange listic campaigns and Forrest showed such aptitude for the work that he was. given a place as a member of the evangelistic party for this sum mer. And arrangements have now been completed w hereby Dr. York Is to take him to train for his life's great work. He will spend the coming win ter in Dr. York's own home at Fort Worth. Attending school there and help in* In nearby revival campaigns as he haa opportunity in connection with hia school. The Mooney-York-Josey party is now conducting a tabernacle meeting in Tarboro In which Forrest is assisting. This meeting Is scheduled to close on September 7th and the en tire party Including Forrest will leave immediately for Texas. The whole community of Loulsburg nfloices In the Ideals and life plans that Forrest has set for himself and In the early success that Is coming tobim.
