Comparison or time by moans
in radio signals dispatched via the Ar- |
10 Ling ton radio* station, the tallest in
this country, and the Eiffel Tower
m Btuton, Fraace, has been the subal
jject of experiments since last April,;
in i anrt for thrpo woab. ?
la been regular.y exchanged between
Washington and Paris.
ey The purpose of the comparison is
a" to determine the difference of longl^
tude between the two places and to
,n measure the velocity of propagation
ya of radio signals through space. Durn"
mg most of the year atmospheric
n~ conditions are such that much lnter)n
fere nee is met with in transmissions,
but the season Is now approaching
when these conditions are most fam
vorable, and the success achieved recently
makes it probable that the
^ work planed between French and
^American scientists to carry this
comparison to a point where accurate
determinations are obtainable
& will be successfully completed. !
First Time With Signals.
The Washington Naval Observatory
was the first Institution to em- <
ploy radio telegraphy for the trans- J?
mission of its time signals to ships 1
at sea to permit them to check their tf
chronometers with that of the ob- J <
servatory and to more accurately de- i
termine their longitude. It alson
? transmitted auch signals to survey- -g
ing parties under the bydrograpbic i
office to enable them to determine |t
i?or surveys. I i
In such transmissions, however,' j
there was the loss of a fraction of <r
a second In stadtlng a signal on its <
rourney and on receiving it. It was <
therefore necessary to eliminate this t
allowances. This was first accomplished
by the French scientists c
through what is known as the ]
method of "coincidences." The su-'<
piniiutcuueui 01 lap naval ODServa- J
|tory then suggested that comparI-j<
I sons be carried on between Paris and |
I Washington In odder to solve the i
I problem of measuring losses. |i
ICOOD WOHK OF THE IDA1JA <

ther than to accede to the request of ]

COMMISSION I
ERED TO PARIS
tude Between Washington 4
Is a High Honor for Onesion
divided in the same manner. Af
the end of half the time, during
which the comparisons are to be '
made the commissions in Washing- r.SM
ton and Paris will exchange stations,
taking with them all of their iustru- ;^TjjM
tnents. The comparisons would then,
he repeated. This is to he done to
(eliminate the pedsonalequation from
the results. The American commissioners
work side by side wih but independent
of their French <folieagues.
The tests are carried on in
specially constructed instrument
houses, of which four have beea
built, two in Washington and two
in Parlp. The American and French
commissioners are separately housed.
Special telescopes have hec-a built la
order to further reduce the possibillty
of error through Instrumental
imperfections and personal caUulations.
Four radio expedts were detached
from duty with the Atlantic
fleet to secure the experience necessary
to conduct the tests.
Hcnt to die West iodic*.
The Arlington station will transmit
these same time signals to typographic
surveying p&ities in the
West Indies and Central America Abd 1
'ifteen observatories, from Maine to
California, have requested the alg- j
lals to detedmlne longitude. Now the
naval observatory has the idea of 3
tending such time signals from the
powerful radio station which la ts be
>ullt on the Canal Zone to points .in
touth Amerka and mauy of the IbIinds
of the Atlantic and Pacific and
osslbly to some of the western EJuopean

est was keen in the rivalry of the
debaters and on Thanksgiving night
It reached Its highest pitch. The
debaters discussed a great nrd vital
question and interest never Jagged

the last.
Edward L. Stewart, a member of
the local bar. presided and did his
duties In a way to please and satisfy.
Mr. Stewart Is an old-time debater
and his selection eIs presiding officer
was a most happy one. His address
of welcome breathed a spirit of good
cheer and hospitality. He always
knows how to say the right word at
the right time. The judges selected
were John B. Sparrow, Rev. C. D.
Malone and Mayor F. C. Kugler. The x
judges, after much thought, returned
their decision in favor of
the negative side. The query was:
"Resolved. That the legislature of
North Carolina should adopt the
Initiative, Referendum and Recall." '
The affirmative was ably represented
by D. T. Davis and Reld Mitchell aad
