REVISION FOR j >3B MILES IN I SPECIAL TESTS Kkphone Lines Between Rondon And Glasgow ■ Used In Experiments By Charles A. Smith ■ international lews Service Staff R lini |,,n. J""'* 15—(INS)-Television K r a distance of 438 miles of teleH ()lll . line was accomplished by John '■Baird. the famous Scotch television and inventor, during special Mbits here. ‘■This test, which was made between Rondon and Glasgow, eclipsed the 200 test carried out in the United in April between New York and R ashington, and was staged as a preRide to a more ambitious experito be made shortly in seeing Rcro-s the Atlantic between London Hind New Lork. I Baird’s test embodied many tech Rical improvements in the science of Rlevision. including a more rapidly Rbtained synchronization between ■transmitter and receiver. Use Telephone Lines I Two ordinary postal telephone lines ■were used. Over one a conversation ■was carried on. while over the other ■ was sent the television transmission. ■ Baird’s perfected receiver was so coni■pact that it stood on an ordinary table ■ in the receiving room- at Glasgow. Dis- ■ tinct images were observed, and each ■ movement of the sitter's head and ■ shoulders was seen. "The technical improvements I have I now effected.” said Baird after the I tests, "Make it mainly' a guestion of I greater power to be able to see a per- | son or a scene which is thousands of miles distant. Coming to America "Shortly some of my experts leave England for the United States to arrange for a demonstration of seeing, as well as of hearing, across more than three thousand miles of ocean between London and New York. Transmission will be by radio and not by cable.” The first six Baird “televisors" which are intended for ordinary use are now in construction. Experimental transmission, in the form of a first regular television transmission pro- : gram, will be radioed from a special I station. At preStent only a comparativeT ly small image is transmitted, bus bigI ger pictures stated to be only a ques- ' tion of technical development. o — 17,000 Dogs Are Killed By Moscow Authorities Moscow (United Press)—Mora than 17,000 dogs were killed on the Moscow streets in one night, in the municipal government’s strenuous fight to reduce the danger of mad dog bites. The c’ty has 200,000 dogs among its 2,000,000 inhabitants, according to official estimates, and more than half of them are homeless animals. The spread of rabies among the packs of stray and wandering curs is a great danger, the healta and police authorities believe, and stringent regulations for safeguardin; the people are being enforced. A fine of SSO is compulsory upon eVery dogowner whose animal is not kept muzzled and on a leash when in the streels or parks. The police are enforcing the rule strictly. Scotch Tresses Costly According To Hairdresser Glasgow June 15 —(UP) — Close to $100,000,000 a year is spent by women and girls on bobbing and shingling in Scotland, according to James Stewart, the "Hairdresser” B. P. for.St. Rollox, and as a consequence, he says, a new occupation has been started which employs many thousands of men and women. “I am sure women will not return to the long hair fashion, because the present mode is so comfortable and hygenic,” he went on. “Shingling is as popular with the women of the mining villages as it is 4 with the women of Mayfair,” "The average woman probably spends about $6 to $8 a year on haircuts," favorably with the experience of the average man on shaving, haircuts and shampoos.” After the soil is thor- I I oughly drained, it be- I I conies very porous and I || will hold capillary mois- I I ture fully 100 per cenl I I better.

were drunk. During the feast, the orchestra played “Fulstaff.” A quiet harmony reigned, and there was only one speech by the president, wiio put forward the theory that stoutness, far from being a drawback to human beings, is the only happy and philosophic stale, Fut men. he declared are the wisest and most contented of mortals. They never worry, and their pleasantly accumulated adipose tissue acts, he staled, ai a physical and moral buffer against all the troubles of life. The fat men present at the banquet grinned their approval of the president’s words, and ordered a few more 9 gallons of wine.

I thought he was joking and laughed. As the boy started going down for the third time young Graham leaped into the water. A few powerful strokes put him near the drowning youth. Graham dived after the boy seized him by the hair and with great difficulty made his way to shore. Harmon was revived and-has suffered no ill effects from his narrow escape from drowning. o—- ■ Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pay.

BOY HAS HERD OF FINE CATTLE Member of Calf Club Builds Up Herd Os Seven Pure Bred .Jersey Cattle Hard work and good fortune have joined forces In enabling Frederick J. Duff, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Duff, of Hartford township, to acquire a pure bred herd of Jersey cattle in a very short, space of time, and with a relatively small investment. Whereas, there were no pure bred cattle on the Duff farm a little more than two years ago, there are now six pure bred females and on.; pure bred male in the herd owned by Frederick. When the dairy calf club work was instituted two years ago this spring, Frederick decided he wanted to enter the calf club work using a pure bred Jersey heifer calf. Accordingly, a party of men from the county who made a trip some distance into Ohio to purchase calves wore instructed by Frederick to use their best judgment ifi buying him a suitable entry. The calf purchased by them weighed considerable loss than one hundred

iso=vis Takes the “guess” out of lubrication! It’s a great satisfaction to know that your car is thoroughly lubricated—that there’s no danger of the oil thinning out, no matter how long your trip. If you use Iso=Vis, you can know that satisfaction. There was no guesswork in the making of this motor oil. It was carefully and painstakingly developed to meet the new theory of scientific lubrication. There’s no guesswork about its performance either. Iso Vis lubricates a car with a new efficiency — always on the job every mile of every trip! One of the thousands of appreciative letters the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has received, relating actual experiences with Iso=Vis, is reproduced below; ‘ \ ■ \ /iiRKIk W* 1 V> ~x£ IMr W 'MR t-"- , \ W1 A A ww WW *6° ,«>■-- JI . A I ft ' Vk >•- Tso-Vis takes the “guess” out of lubrication because it maintains constant viscosity—it is always the same. The body is as good at the finish as it was at the start—in fact it “seems a shame to throw it away”! According to statistics, ordinary oil loses twv-thirds of its body before the car has gone 200 miles That explains the big difference motorists notice when they start using Iso-Vis—the greater smoothness - the freedom from dilution troubles “better lubrication at lowered cost per mile!” Iso Vis saves trouble-and saves money! 30c per quart at Standard Oil Service Stations and all licensed garages.
