chief, as the causle of dissatisfaction in many units. “The army ration is too small,” Allen said. “Based on the average cost for the fiscal year 1925, the daily values of rations were. For the Army 31.5 cents, Marino Corps 49.7 cents, and Navy 52.3 cents. This discrimination against the military service in the matter of rations is generally known throughout the service and is conductive to discontentment. Uniforms Disliked “The present issue of khaki uniform is not satisfactory; it is Issued in eight to ten radically different shades, ip of exceptionally poor material, Is very poorly made, and all shades change color with each washing. “It is noticeable that desertions increase just prior to the training camp period." Criticises Ammuntion Allen also severly critized the ammunition In general use from world war reserves on the ground that it is inaccurate and defective, "causing in some cases severe burning to the eye of the firer.” After discussing inadequate appropriations for equipment and training. Allen concluded: “The present necessity for utmost economy prevents the functioning of infantry organizations and installations to the desired degree of efflcinecy. The time will be welcomed when the economic conditions of the country will warrant a budget that will permit the proper and adequate supply of the Army.” LLOYD NOW DANCER Lloyd Hughes for the first time in his career is dancing before the camera and doing a difficult Spanish dance at that, in a picture being made at another studio.

Bu Time* Bveeial / LONDON, Dec. 3. —Opening of Marconi’s beam system of radio telegraphy between England and Canada Is only the first step in the production of a world wide commercial wireless chain. Even that, when completed, may be only part of a much larger scheme involving a system of telephoning direct over land and sea and going well on toward the goal of transmitting sight of actual events across great distances. It may be a wild dream, all this, but It has been suggested by no less

an authority than Senator William Marconi himself. “The .success of our experiments beam system of wireless telegraphy,” he tells me, "brings within measurable distance of time the epoch when trans-Atlant-ic telephony will bo an everyday occurence. - We'll Talk to Europe “That will mean that some day in the not very distant future your chief In America will pick up the telephone in the ordinary way. put through a call to your London home and talk business matters with you. “Only,” he added laconically, “It's a horrifying thought. They may forget that when It's 9 o’clock at night over here. It’s way past midnight In England, and will be rousing you out of a sound sleep.” However, the pyospects of the beam system of radio transmission are just beginning to appear. With the Canada link completed, Marconi reports the next link will reach directly to South Africa. Then will go a stretch to Australia, and lastly connection with the New York beam station that Is even now being built by the Radio Corporation of America. "Our experiments with the shortwave beam telegraph system,” Mar-

Better and Oteapor “The system, which supersedes our old method, has three tremendous advantages: "First, it costs less to build the plants. “Second, it gives the fastest transmission system In the world. "Third, It practically makes nonexistent the present interferences from atmospheric disturbances.” Besides, it Is further explained, the beam system makes for secrecy, it uses less power with short waves and Is freer front fading through the use of reflectors and th’e emergency application of longer waves. “The beam system will help In the solution of television,” Marconi concludes. * “As for broadcasting, I bfclieve it will result In enabling programs and speeches to be transmitted to large portions of the United States, Canada, South Africa and Australia with much greater strength and accuracy than is possible by the prevailing methods.” Fifty-three women now claim membership in the Fasclstl in Italy.

FEDERAL OWNED SHIPS GIVE VALUE Prevent Profiteering in Trade With Europe. Times Washington Bureau. 1322 Xew York Avenue WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. —Eu rope's present need for wheat, coal and cotton has demonstrated America's need fpr her Governmentoperated merchant marine. Representative Clay Stone Briggs, Texas, declares. Since July there have been 287 sailings from southern ports, as compared with only 187 during the entire last six months of 1925, Briggs pointed out. Demand of Europe for unprecedented quantities of produce has caused this jump, he believed. “Had it not been for the Govern-ment-operated Shipping Board vessels private lines would have been able to gouge American shippers by high shipping rates,” he said. The Federal Shipping Board lias placed twenty laid-up ships in opera-

tion to help southern ports and is reconditioning thirty-two more. Briggs estimated that this work will cost about $1,500,000, but that increased business will cut the operating deficit about $5,000,000. Briggs, a member of the House Merchant Marine Committee, recently urged President Coolidge to place additional laid-up Government ships in service.
