MAGNETIC MINE PHONE IS HAILED
Device May End Suspense In Disasters; Tests to Be Made Soon.
NEW YORK, March 6 (U. P.) ~~ The heart-breaking suspense which tortures relatives of men trapped in mine disasters will be largely eliminated if a new magnetic telephone, announced today by the American Television Corp, works in practice as its inventors believe it will. In the long history of mine dcisasters, the -men entombed have rarely been able to communicate details of their plight to rescue crews and members of their families on the surface. The new method converts the human voice “into electrical impulses transmitted in the form of waves which are predominately magnetic.” Engineers are preparing to install a magnetic telephone system, said to be low in cost and easy to operate, in Pennsylvania. “They will run a large ‘loop’ antenna over a mine surface either on poles or a short distance below the ground,” the announcement said. “By this means contact may be made with receiving phones located in various sections of ‘the mire. “Besides a stationary transmitter on the ground, the system provides portable transmitters for each underground section running laterally from the main shaft. The magnetic waves will travel effectively over any distance up to five miles, waich exceeds: the dimensions of belowsurface mine networks.”

Pennsylvania Interested
The new tractor was shown for the first time last night at the Murat Temple as part of the twoday Farm Bureau Co-Op stockholdess meeting. S. Agster, Pennsylvania Farm Bs Co-Operative Association manager, said that “the Pennsylvania Co-Op is very much interested in purchasing farm machinery from the Co-Op here.” Robert Eddy, farm machinery department head of the Michigan Bureau Services who saw the tractor’s ' preview, told I. E. Hull, local Co-Op manager, that “we also are very much interested in going along.” Mr. Hull told stockholders the tractor would be available to Indiana farmers after completion of about four months of field tests.
Chicago Meeting Set
He said letters promising support had come from Co-Op groups at Columbus, O.; Toronto, Ontario; Regina, Saskatchewan; Superior Wis.; Minneapolis and St. Paul Minn.; Kansas City, Mo.; Walla Walla, Wash.; and Amarillo, Tex. Representatives of these Co-Ops will meet at Chicago sometime this month to see the new tractor demonstrated and to discuss arrangements for its sale throughout the country. Plans for a complete assembly line, amount of production, cost of the tractor and other machinery will depend upon the results of the Chicago meeting, Mr. Hull said. The stockholders meeting was to close this afternoon with the elecson of directors and officers for
