Thee'. He preached an earnest forci

incomplete without Christ, but espec
ially that of a teacher; she can. never
hope to reach the soul of the child
unless her own soul life is full and
rich. He made his congregatino see
Christ the teacher, saying there was
far nore said about his teaching than
about his preaching. '
He gave the reasons why one needs
Christ, and proved that each one
would have to come to him on her
own initiative, and after his Invitation-waited

MAY SPAN TIIE OCEAN
(By United Press)
New York. "Hello ! Hello! Is this
New York? Yes? Well, how's every j
little thing along Broadway?" j
"Ah. hello, there, cousin ! How's
dear Old l.unnon?"
A telephonic conversation letween
London and New York? Yes, certain
ly. And at no very far distant date,
either.
At least, that's what the Marconi j
wireless experts are saying in New
York. And therj ought to know for
the experts' have been making some
very exhaustive experiments.
Roy A. Weagant, Marconi's chief
engineer, announced shortly after the
armistice wh8 signed that his new dis-;
covery would quite eliminate
the in
tcrference 6f static electricity from
radio graphic currents. At first the
scientific world was skeptical. They
didn't think it could be done.
Nevertheless. Weagant was correct
in his deductions, according to the
Marconi company, and as a result j
plans are already ifnder way for the (
installation of a wireless telephone sirs-
tem between New York and Indon.
Statics, or "strays", as they are
known in the bewildering language of
the wireless experts, are loose, un
controlled electrical elements, Wea
gant told the members of the New York
Electrcal society, and these statics
stray into the wireless messages sent
through the air. They cause such a din
at times that the messages are drown
ed. He had discovered the natural law
which causes statics to travel in a ver
tical path, Weagant added, while the
wave links of a radio message take a
path parallel with the earth. . . -
Weagant's discoverey makes it pos
sible to catch the ta tics going one way
and the wireless going at right an
gles. In this way the two are kept
from coming into contact and practi
cally all of the trouble is thus elim
inated. In commenting upon the diicoveny,
Marconi officials said that the elimi
nation of atmospheric interference per
fects the wireless to such a degree that
trans-Atlantic telephony is a compar
atively simple matter. As a result, the
wireless telephone will soon conquer j
the ocean, the experts maintain, and j
the luman voice, speaking In iew
York, will quickly find an echo in
London.
