The Seaforth News, 1928-10-18, Page 3Radio to Play Big Role in Flight Giant German Dirigible is Equipped With Latest Types of Wireless Apparatus; Ship and Shore Stations Will Follow the Air- ship's Progress As the Couzht Zeppelin. . the new -'Germain dtl'iglble, einbarks fro n Fried- ricilshafen on her 3,500 -mile non-stop flight to Lakehurst, radio will flash word of its safety throughout the en- tire journey, Dr. I-Iugo Sicknor, de - Mater of the 'ship, following trial flights last week, predicted that radia is destined to play an important role in the success of the venture by fur- nishing meteorological reports and, bearings. Because of the importance stressed upon the value of radio, the operating room hasbeen situated adjacent to the chartroom, The equipment is of most n.odern design, consisting of three distinct units. A. medium and long wave Telefunken transmitting. set will be unit for communicating with high-powered land stations and ships encountered on the ocean high- ways en route. Should it be impossible to establish communication on the regular com- mercial channels a short wavesend- ing set has been installed. Due to. short wave transmission phenomenon, it will be possible for the dirigible party to communicate with 'the 'United States soon after taking the air.. Should low wave commercial stations Mil to hear the Count Zeppelin radio signals, radio amateurs will in all prob- abolity be able to pink upthe mes- sages and relay them to their destina- tion, A. third transmitting set is carried for use only in cases of emergency. Should either the long or short wave sets fail to function, the auxiliary ap- paratus may be pressed into service. All commercial telegraph stations along the proposed route of the Count Zeppelin have been notified of the wave lengths employed by the ship and asked to keep a sharp oar. Sta- tions in Germany, England and France will be the first to establish contact with the dirigible on its westward trip. Ships on the high seas . along the route have been notified by wireless of Dr. Eckner's plan to start the flight to -day and will keep watch both for radio signals and sight of the lighter - than -air craft. Weather reports and forecasts will be broadcast especially for the flyers. In addition to the telegraph appara- tus, the Count Zeppelin carries com- plete direction Sinding equipment. Should it be impossible to determine position by "shooting the sun" due to fog, this radio apparatus will enable the navigator to calculate their exact position. Pres rving Niagara RHEUMATIC ATIC MISER' Relief Can Only Cowie Through Better Blood" --Liniments of Ng Use. In no other disease does the blood become thin so rapidly as in rheuma- tism., Not only floes it beoomo thin but it is loaded with impurities -- rheumatic poisons. Witbout the pro- olleumatie poisons, Without the proper treatment `those poisons increase, the inflamed joints Swell and the. patient 'becomes a cripple. Most treatments simply aim to keep down the pain, ,hence with every- unfavorable con dition a renewed attack follows: To cast out rheniilatism the blood must be enriched aucl the rheumatic poisons driven out with the natural secretions of the body ..This can best be done through a course of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which have a spe- cific action on the blood, giving it new richness and redness. Thousands, have tried this treatment with beneficial results. That every 'sufferer from rheumatism who does not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is neglecting the most hopeful means of recovery is shown by the statement of Mr. David, Carroll, Piotou, N.S., who says:— For years I was troubled with rheu- matism. The pains were not continu- ous, but they always returned, and kept getting worse. I tried so•ealled electric belts and many medicines, but .did not get more than temporary relief. Only those who have suffered from this trouble will realize what I suffered at times. I had begun to despair •of getting better when a friend urged me to 117 Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In a short time I could feel this medicine helping me, so 1 gladly continued taking the pills and 8000 found that every trace of the trouble had disappeared and there was a groat improvement in my gen- eral health. It is now two years since I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I have not bad the least twinge of the trouble in that time. That is why I confldently'recommend the pills to other sufferers." You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Out. A National Question With International Interest Beauty spot or power plant? The modern answer appears to be "a little ofboth." Use the falls as far as pos- sible for power development without injuring them as a spectacle. The engineer's old contention that beauty should be entirely sa:crifiecd to utility has been abandoned, according to an editorial writer in The Engineering News -Record (New York). Says this paper: "Many divergent views have been expressed on the preservation of Ni- agara iagara Falls and the amount of water that may be diverted for power pur- poses. Some of these views cameto the front at the receht meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers in Buffalo. But the most important part of the discussion there was the first official publication of the Special International Niagara Board's interim report. The board recommended the immediate undertaking of certain remedial measures in order to divert water from the centre to the Banks of the, Horseshot Fall and to the Am- erican Falls, but it failed to express. Itself on whether more water may be diverted for power purposes without harm, after the remedial measures bave been taken. This latter question ought to be answered squarely in the. board's final report, since it is an in- separable part of the subject for whose study the board was instituted. The beauty of the Falls is at issue only because water -is being drawn for power development, and because it le desirable to draw still' more if it can be done without injuring -the impressiveness of the great natural spectacle. The day 18 past when many people will agree with the view' ex- pressed by Lord Kelvin that the Falls should be laid bare to provide the maximum amount of power; but, on the other hand,. few' will go to the other extreme of maintaining that the Palls slunaa be left untouched even Though they may be seriously injured by erosion, and even though proper engineering measures will enable ,great amounts of power to be obtained without detracting from their beauty. It is only the extremists on either side who :do not realize that the waters e f" Niagara have two distinct values, the esthetic and the power value, S0tnbwhere between the two extreme views lies a point at which -both ptr- 'epees can be served Without undue injury in either, and one o? the great- est services the Special International Niagara Board could render' would be to attempt to determine Where that point lies." Russians Ready to Put Soviet Runabout. on Road Moscow.—The "Avtodor," a society to promote motoring in Soviet Russia, has adopted a new design of cheap, home-made "peasant's motor car," which is to substitute the various models of cars heretofore brought to Russia exclusively from abroad. The newly designed model is an open three -seater of extremely simple and solid construction, easily repair- able' epairable, and in condition to stand Russian roads and highways.

Leprosy Will Be Developed • Through Various Stages Kovno, Lithuania.—One of the strangest medical experTmente on re- cord was announced here recently when: a eonviceed murderer agreed to permit himself to be inoculated with leprosy 'germs, The murderer's name is Kirsteia and he was condemned to death after being convicted et a particularly gruesome minder. It was said he vol- untarily agreed to the experiment which will make him a leper. Professor Sulker, chief of the Army Medical Corps, will inoculate Iiirstein with the bash.. At first only a small injection will be given and the Pro- fessor will study the disease in its early stages. Later the leprosy will be developed through various steps at advanced stages of the disease, and the profes- sor will keep detailed records of its progress. It is expected here that the study will be of value in the creation of a cure. ntari® Sells Wood Land Toronto, Ont.—Sale of eighty-one square miles of pulpwood and jack pine in the Township of Simpson, one hundred miles north of Sault Ste.

Prices realized by the Department were $2 a cord for the pulpwood, 151 cents per tie and $G.50 per thousand i for the jack pine. The purchase is' a joint one, the pulpwood to be used by the Abitibi company in their "atilt Ste. Marie mill and the ties going to the Oigona Central for road construc- tion. The Department stipulated that the pulpwood should be taken off at the same time as the jack pine in Order to avert the danger of a fire hazard, which otherwise might arise at dif- ferent times. In past years the Gov- ernment has put up 'small areas for the Algona Central Railway in order to provide timber that is not available on the company's own land.

At the gates, says The Pioneer, these deputies had to exchange their turbans, flowing robes and broad sashes for frock - coats, top hats and trousers, thought- fully supplied by "mass production" at the royal order. The legislators were even instructed to relieve them- selves of their boards and whiskers.

"Which one of the family Is he like," What Will Women Say? Landon Morning Post (Cons.): It is tootmuch to hope or wish that Wo- men should ever forswear allegiance to fashion—"deformed thief" though he be. But now that they enjoy the dignity of equal political status, is it too much to expect them to demand some say in dictation of their fash- ions, or obey a native rattler than an alien decree? After all, they may be reminded that their menfolk ;lo not look to any foreign models for the style of their clothes. On the contrary, they provide the models for the world. Can it be that English women, having achieved so much, are willing to be outdone by men in a matter that con- cerns so much their dignity and self- sufficiency? gt Veterinaries use Mtnard's Liniment. Red Rose Orange Pekoe is the finest �$ tea in the best pack » ; e—Ahuninum Fi Objects to Use of Term "Rayon" New York—The Celanese 001501a - tion of America has taken issue with the Better Business Bureau of New York City, Inc., on the latter's recent recommendation that the word "rayon" be used in conjunction with the name of its product. Its objection is basedon the ground that Celanese is 80 distinctly different from rayon in its chemical and physical properties that the adoption of the bureau's re- commendation would cause confusion between the fabrics and articles of the company and these now referred to as rayon. The company farther contends that the bureau has n0 au- thority to name a product, and that its action in this case can only result In confusion and misrepresentation. The company points out, in addition, that the local bureau's recommenda- tion is contrary to the position taken by the National Better Business Bureau about three years ago, The same arguments apply to Cana- dian Celanese, Ltd.

October morning—what buoyant joy and ex- pectancy awoke with its sunlight! Where the Fall's footstep had fallen the silvery brown and silken rich- ness of ripened things glowed. Tiny lingers of the woodbine had draped the mossy green bowlder with scarlet garlands. When the wind swung low at inter- vals the breath of fruition poured fragrance on, the air and a melodi- ous silence touched the heart. The gnarled and somber yew trees stood like solemn dignitaries at a gay carnival amid the forest folk, dropping their brillian leaves con- tinuously as before the coming of a triumphant pageant. The musical haunts of the summer going birds wore murmurous with the sweep of thinning branches, and the abundant harvest of nuts baited the tireless squiri'el: Here and there a dainty and belated blos- som sang its song of loveliness. Swiftly sailing clouds rippled in, shadows along the crisping grass. The springtime beauty had been trans- muted into another and even more gorgeous splendor. October was on the land and the clay w.ds at its; dawn. Day of Gold By ALIN THORN 0 heart, can we deserve such days of gold? Such radiant hours that priceless treasures hold?
