ESCAPE DEATH BY JUMPING FROM GAR

LYNN, Ind., May 23. A motor car driven by Foreman Ludy was demolished when a Big Four train struck it, east of Glen Kara, Ohio, Monday. The occupants escaped by jumping.

' : Normalcy, or a condition near it, apparently has been reached in farm labor supply and demand, according to recent inquiry. Few farmers are complaining of lack of labor, or of too high wages demanded, while on the other hand, few of the good farm hands are "without employment. , .This condition is reflected in the employment bureau activities of the rounty agent's office, which placed a number of men last year. This year, while the same privileges were offered both farmers and farm hands, only a few applications have been received from either. Only one application is rn file now, In fact, from a farmer in the western part of the county who wants an unmarried man for farm work. i "Wages are somewhat lower this year than last, reflecting the general drop In farm products, and are near, or slightly above, pre-war wages. Board and room which are included, however, in many cases make the wages equal to or better than wages of the city employee, who. while he gets paid on a higher scale, has in turn to pay out a good share for living expenses. Mechanical Power - A noticeable development in the farm labor situation is the increasing substitution of mechanical power. Attention was especially directed to this condition by Prof. Schwab of Purdue, addressing the monthly district convention of county agents at Winches

ter last week. Statistics coming into

the Purdue offices show a constantly increasing sale of tractors, he said, and authorities and economists are beginning to be alarmed over the shortage of horses that will develop in the next few years. Due to greater use of tractors, farmers are raising fewer colts. The falling off in breeding operations already has brought so great a drop in the horse population that there are not sufficient colts now to replace the horses already in use, although it is thought a still larger number may be required in a few years.

Order Family to Leave After Fraud Discovered The 6ick husband and three chil

dren, claimed by a "Mrs. Johnson," who was soliciting aid In this city recently, dwindled to two children and one healthy husband when authorities investigated her claims. The family was ordered to leave town. "Mrs. Johnson" was selling soap in

the city, presenting a -note which

requested, aid from 'cheerful givers." A nurse from the Social Service bureau was sent to locate the woman, and she was taken to police headquarters. After some questioning, the nurse was directed to take the woman to 1109 South Eleventh street, where she said her home was located. Unable to locate the address, the

woman was brought to the Social Service bureau, where she finally admitted that she had only two children, and that her husband was waiting for

her at Morton Lake, - with an auto truck. The family came from Greenville, O., and they were ordered to move on at once.

other revolutionary develonment is

shown in John Hays Hammond's announcement that it is possible, by his newest invention, to transmit a dozen or more messages on the same wave length. Reception is accomplished by special receivers, magnetically tuned

to the transmitters they are receiving.

Spark stations, even when near the Hammond receiver, do not cause interference, and all but the station desired can be tuned out, even though a number are sending on the same wave length. This development makes possible commercial broadcasting, as the receivers may be leased on the same plan as land telephone instruments. Further details of the receivers are with-held until patents are granted.

This development also provides the, long desired secrecy in radio transmission, as none but the special receivers can hear the messages of their sending stations. Simpler Receiving Set. A simplified receiving' set, which does not require an outside aerial, using instead several yards of wire arranged in a coil aerial on the back of the cabinet, has been built by a

Chicago engineer, B. F. Meissner. This set is provided with a "super amplifier,' said to be 50 times more powerful than an ordinary three stage, thus making the very weak signals heard with the coil, as audible as those heard with an ordinary set over an outside aerial. Only one adjustment is necessary to tune in to a transmitter. All batteries and equipment are self-contained, being housed

in the cabinet. Eaton Wireless. The Eaton Radio club has suspended meetings for the summer, due to the increase of static, which makes reception difficult, and to activities other than wireless which will occupy the attention of members during the summer. Walter Fishback -has installed a transmitting set, with a radius that easily covers the city and some distance outside. He is operating it for the benefit of those amateurs whose receiving sets are not powerful enough to get the more distant stations, and is in communication with all the stations in the city. He is using the same circuit as the Hatfield station in Indianapolis, with his microphone in series with the ground. A second class operator's license has been received by Charles Emrick, who took the examination some weeks ago at Dayton. West Alexandria Warren Copp of West Alexandria, Ohio, has completed a transmitting set

having purchased some parts neces-' sary from Robert Clark of Richmond, who has substituted C. W. for spark.

RARE ORIENTAL RUGS . GIVEN TO MUSEUM

(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, May 23. Through a gift of 125 oriental ruga of rare beauty from James F. Ballard of St. Louis, the Metropolitan Museum of Art now has the most complete and valuable collection of such objects of art in the world. Mr. Ballard was made a "benefactor" of the museum at a meeting of the board of trustees when the collection was accepted. Mr. Ballard, who has been his own collector, said the rugs represented 250,000 miles of travel. The commercial value of the gift is said to be $440,950 but the

actual value is much greater as It

cannot be duplicated.

The rugs are from the 15th. to the

The latest use of radio, to conduct marriage ceremonies at a distance, will be taken advantage of in a new church being erected In Shreveport, La. A powerful station is being installed with a normal radius of 1,500

The aerial will be a four wire flat top, 125 feet long and 100 feet high, swung between the church tower and a tower on an adjacent office building. The set will be used to broadcast church services through the regions of southern Louisiana and Mississippi which do not have churches served by

they are longer. It is Dr. Steinmetz's theory that light, the X-Ray, and radio waves are all identical phenomena, each produced by a different wave length. A company in southern California supplying light and power to a number of cities, is making regular use of radio communication to keep in touch with its branches, scattered over a distance of 125 miles.

Eaton Phone Company Has J,093 Subscribers EATON, Ohio, May 23. One thousand and ninety-three numbers are listed in a directory Just issued by the

Eaton Telephone company. Five of the phones are listed in the company's 1 name. Of the total of 1093 phones listed, 183 are designated as "farm" phones. A year ago the company met with opposition when a rental advance was announced and later placed in effect.

The opposition came for the most part from the rural district and the advance was protested by wholesale removal of phones by members of a rural organization that was formed to oppose the raise. Settlement of the controversy has never been reached, although repeated effort has been made to adjust the differences. Last year the company did not issue its annual directory. O. A. Gale was recently elected

president of the company. C. B. Cokefair is vice president; Elam Fisher treasurer; L. D. Lesh, secretary. REDEEM TREASURY PAPER WASHINGTON. May 23.

Judge Rules Property Belongs to Trust Fund The diamond ring, diamond stud and gold watch belonging to the late Isaac Gormon, will be turned over to the Dickinson Trust company as part of a trust fund for his estate, instead

of going to Irene Ryan, according to a ruling of the court Tuesday. The ruling was the final step in a suit to

have the will construed. The suit was filed by the Dickinson Trust company as the executor of the will of Isaac Gormon, and named Irene Ryan, Joseph Gormon, David Gormon and Sarah Wilson as defendants.

The question at issue was whether the wording of the will meant that the jewelry should go to Irene Ryan or to

the trust fund.
