i WAR INVENTIONS ? COMING TO LIGHT ,1 • Many Interesting Achievements ; Are Now Being Made '• Public. • SEAL OF SILENCE BROKEN • . System of Sending and Receiving J Wireless Telephone Messages at Same Time and a Barrage Re- • ceiver Among Novelties. ■ New York. —As the seal placed upon ! the activities of America’s inventors b by the war is broken, news of many In- ’ terestlng achievements unknown to the • public during the conflict are being i brought to light. A system of sending ; and receiving wireless telephoiv me|- . sages at the same time, as is done in • wire lines; a “barrage receiver," which ■ shuts out the sound of all wireless viJ bration except those which the opera- > tor wishes to hear, and a system of J rapid and accurate photography of ■ wireless message became known to the J public for the first time recently, al- ■ thgugh government naval stations have ‘ been experimenting with them for some time. , | Engineers of the General Electric | company at Schenectady are responsible for each of the inventions. Ernst F. W. Alexanderson, consulting engineer of the company, told of the development of the barrage receiver and wireless telephony ideas at a meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers at 29 West Thirty-ninth street recently. C. A. Hoxie of Schenectady, another General Electric company engineer, is the inventor of the wireless photographic apparatus. Sending and Receiving. Doctor Alexanderson told the engineers that obviously some system of simultaneous sending and receiving would have to be invented before wireless telephony would ever become commercially practicable. Switching from one apparatus to another to send and receive would be .annoying and delaying. For instance, the user of the telephone on this side of the Atlantic says: “Hello” into the mouthpiece. Then he has to switch to another apparatus to catch the answer from Europe. And perhaps his friend overseas is doing the same thing, and the attempt at conversation develops into a sort of hide-and-seek game. There was also j the problem of bringing the wireless i telephone to the home of the user. If [ one has to travel to Washington or . New Brunswick to use the wireless teli ephone it Is scarcely a saver of time J or money. ■ Doctor Alexanderson has devised a J system of separate sending and re- . ceiving antennae, the sending and re- ; ceiving stations interconnected by a > wire line and further connected to the J exchange of the local telephone sys- • tern, so that all Mrs. .Tones has to do J when she wants to find out what Mr. • Jones is doing in Paris tonight is to J go to her telephone and ask, not for • toll operator, but for the wireless op- ' orator, he will connect her with Mr. ’ Jones. I The Barrage Receiver. ‘ The Invention of the barrage re- • cclvcr came about as a result of the > confusion into which the wireless ma- • chindry was thrown during the war. ■ Through her powerful stations at Nan- • sen and elsewhere Germany was mali- • ciously flooding the atmosphere with J wireless “noise” so that communica- • tlons between France and England I and America became very difficult, j • Germany was completely drowning out ! the voice of America’s allies. The in- ■ terallied conference in February, 1018, I sought away out of the difficulty, and • appeals for a solution were brought to I Doctor Alexanderson by Lieutenant • Paternot of the French mission in this ! country. The solution, which was ' • adopted by the French and American ' I governments after its first demonstra- ' • tion was called the “barrage receiver.” j I because the word “barrage” has the • original meaning of stoppage prevenI tlon. The barrage receiver sueeess- • fulyl shut out the vibrations sent out I from Germany with the object of de--1 stroying the allied Intercommuniontion. Its principle can be compared ’ to that of an instrument which, if np- ' plied to the ear, would silence the 1 shrieking of a steam whistle ten yards away, while enabling the listener -tu hear perfectly the spoken word a him- ■ dred yards off. Aside from its war-, time use the barrage receiver has ex-: tensive possibilities for peacetime de-; velopment. Through its use the num-1 ber of communications that may be i carried on without disturbing each other may be multiplied greatly. ’TWAS A COURTSHIP BY Delaware Operators Even Made Arrangements for the Wedding by Telegraph. Ellendale, Del. —Love over the wire resulted in the marriage of Miss Dena Veasey, telegraph operator at Ellendale, and Edward Ilust, operator at Redden. The two were but seven miles apart on the wire, and each, seeking a greater proficiency, practiced sending messages to the other in leisure moments. During all their courtship the two, sent their messages biick and forth ’ over the wirfc, and finally when they decided to slip away tof Wilming- ] ton to be married the arrangements were made by wire. j

GUT YOUR SHOE BILLS “Heretofore, soles never lasted me more than three months, because my work keeps me walking constantly oil cement. But I have worn a pair of Neolin Soles now for more than three months, and judging from their present condition, they will last three times as long.” So says G. L. Kerr, manager of an automobile organization in Geneva, N. Y. This extra wear given by Neolin Soles not only makes the shoes soled with them cheaper by the year than other shoes, but the price you pay in the first place is sometimes less than for shoes of only ordinary wear. You can get Neoltn-soled sheer, in many styles for every member cf the family. Try these long-wearing, comfortable and waterproof soles en your worn shoes too. All good repair sitops have them.

MORE RED BLOOD AND STEADIER NERVES ran RIM DOWN PEOPLE The World Demands, Strong, Vigorous, i Keen-Minded, Men and Women It has been said of .Americans that they work their habits overlime. Many become nervous and inefficient by overwork. By worry, despondency, social affairs, robbing brain and body of needed rest; excessive use of tobacco, indulgence in strong alcoholic drink—excesses of every kind that burn up the vital powers so necessary in these trying times to make both men and women lit to be of help to themselves and others. It is time to be temperate in all things. The man or woman with impaired nerves caused by impoverished blood lacks vigor, ' the ambition, the endurance and the keen mind of those who avoid excesses. Timidness, despondency, fear, trembling hands, want of confidence and even cowardliness, are due in a large measure to abused nerves. People with plenty of red blood corpuscles and strong, healthy nerve# have no desire to shirk work and lean on others for guidance and support. There is hardly a nerve-shattered man or woman (unless of an organic disease) in America today who cannot become alert and clear in mind; vigorous and energetic in body in a very few weeks and at trilling cost. To become strong and ambitious, to feel that work is not drudgery; to have steady nerves, abundance of red blood and power of endurance; to be not only a man but aw men now go, a superman, you must take seven tablets ofj Uio-feren every day for seven days—and take them faithfully. Take two after each meal and one at bedtime and after seven days taka one only after meal until the supply is exhausted. Then if you el that any claim made in this spechd your nerves are not twice as steady as before, if you « . h tablets to more “gorous and keen-minded, the pharmacist who dispMued you will gladly hand you hack Just what you P«M for Bio-feren Is without doubt the Srendest j, t ‘through druggists and Is weak, anaemic men and women ever g n d vicinity havo a supply on not at all expensive.
