POLICE PROBE MYSTERY OF POISON CASE Body of Unknown Woman in French Morgue Is Baffling. BELIEVED AN AMERICAN ‘Paris Cot Me,* She Said Without Disclosing Identity. By United Preaa PARIS, June 27. —The body of an unknown woman, believed an American, lies in the Paris morgue while police and detectives confess themselves baffled by one of the strangest mysteries in years. Smiling, the woman died from bichloride of mercury poisoning. She lingered for three days, concealing her identity, giving addresses In New York and Baltimore, at which she could not be traced. A passport, made out to a Miss Elizabeth Kohn, was found among the woman's meagre possessions, but the photograph attached was that of a heavy set, dark-haired woman, while the victim was tall and slender with dyed red hair. Apparently about 30 years of age, fashionably dressed, the American woman was found wandering about the streets of Paris Wednesday night. “Paris got me," she said before her death.

an electric wave suitable for radio telephony. He was the first to demonstrate how this vacuum tube could be re. lied upon to amplify an extremely weak signal over and over again. With the final result that it would become very strong, thus making possible the regenerative receivers now used in so many homes. Super-Regefaeral lon Finally, he has taken this form of receivers and improved it so that it can now give amplification of a million times and upward. Instead of 100 or 200 times! "A short way to describe the super regenerative circuit,” says Armstrong, “is that one vacuum tube is made to do the work formerly done by three. It has been known for several years that the limit of amplification is reached when the negative charge in the tube approaches the positive. “In experimenting I found that it was possible to increase the negative charge temporarily, for about 1-20,000 of a second, above the positive and still keep the average down. It is this possibility of increase which permits the enormous amplification and enables me to eliminate two tubes from the circuit.” No dulside Aerials Os what benefit is all this to the radio amateur? “An outfit equipped with a superregenerative circuit,” Armstrong goes on to explain, “is so sensitive that outside aerials are unnecessary. “Receiving sets without outside aerials have been possitSe for some time, but they have been so expensive that most amateurs have not been able to afford them. With this improved circuit, inside sets can be manufactured at the same price as

(before prohibition) in Judge Wilmeth's court today when police officers read off the list of wet goods they removed from the ice-box of Mrs. Hattie French, Eugenia flats, charged with keeping a blind tiger. “One quart of white mule, one pint of vermuth, one-half pint of creme-dc-menthe,” the list read. "Guilty,” admitted Mrs. French, but protested the liquor was for home consumption. “In that case, it will be SIOO and costs,” said the judge. TABLE LEG HIDES MULE However, Cope Are Not Deceived by Clever Cache. No longer do the bottles sit on the shelf beside the table, but Alberta Morris, 416'/£ W.
