8 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 3, 1922 NUY SHE EMBED HERS Government Bureau Holds t Out Hope of Success. RECORD OF TESTS GIVEN Electro-Magnetic Waves Made to Travel Through Solid Strata Far Below Surface. WASHINGTON, D. C, Deo. 2. Radio communication between res cuers on the surface and miners en tombed in mines following fires and explosions is a hope held-.out by the United States bureau of mines to lessen the horrors and losses of mine disasters. Preliminary tests conducted by the bureau, with, the cooperation- of a great electrical manufacturing concern, in an ex perimental mine at Bruceton, Pa., already have resulted in a degree of success. 4 While these experiments have so far failed to develop any practical method of using wireless waves for underground communication, never theless, says a publication of the mines bureau, they indicate clearly ' that electro-magnetic waves may be made to travel through solid strata. In the Bruceton experiments signals were heard distinctly through BO feet of coal strata, although the audibility fell off rapidly as the distance was increased. The ab sorption of loss of intensity with distance is very great for the short wave lengths used in these tests. Longer wave lengths are known to suffer less absorption and may pos . Bib!y be found practically effective under certain conditions. Radio Sent Through Rock. In this connection it ia Interesting to note testa conducted by the United States bureau of standards in dropping wireless antennae down deep, unused oil wells to underlying rock strata In order to send the wireless impulses through the rock instead of through the air. The re sults, it is believed, may be the eame as projecting the antennae upward into the air strata. The desirability of substituting the wireless system of communica tion for the present telephone sys tem in use in mines is evident in considering that the rock fall or ex plosion, by breaking wire connec tions, can put the entire system out of order. The mine telephone has been per fected to such an extent' that it is giving satisfaction in most mines where the wiring is well insulated, the bureau of mines announcement continues. Very often the telephone cannot be depended upon on account of falls of rock, grounding due to worn Insulation or extreme damp ness. In the event of a disaster it frequently happens that the mine telephone system is put out of com mission by the agency that causs the disaster, at the very time when it is most urgently needed. On this account the mining industry is in terested in any kind of telephone system that can be counted upon in an emergency. Many requests have been . received by the bureau of mines to devise means of utilizing wireless methods for this purpose. Wave Penetrate Earth. The preliminary experiments con sisted, first, in receiving signals from without the mine by means of a receiver located inside the mine, and1 second, both ending and receiving messages underground through the strata. It was found that with a receiving instrument set at a, point 100 feet underground signals sent from station KIKA of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company at East Pittsburg, 18 miles away, could be heard distinctly. About 60 feet from the receiving station used in the imlne in this teit was a six-inch bore hold extending from the sur face, lined with iron pipe and con taining electric light wires which extended therefrom through the mine. The presence of these wires, according to the experimenters, evi dently assisted greatly in the recep tion of the signals, for when the receiving eet was carried to another point in the mine removed from the wires and tracks the signals were barely audible through 60 feet of cover. The fact that signals were detected at all. however, even though faintly, was declared suffi clent evidence of transmission through ground to encourage fur- ther experimenting. In sending waves underground a transmitter was used in such a manner as to send out continuous waves of 200 to 300 meter lengths On account of the limited time at disposal no attempt was made to modify the apparatus in such man. nor as to produce waves of greater lengths. .Vertical Waves Give Best Results. In all experiments the vertical ; antennae were found to give better results. The horizontal antennae gave practically no reception. A loop of a single turn was used with fair results. All these experiments were tried with a wave length of 200 to 300 meters, except the reception ' from KDKA, which was 350 meters. ' The strata at the experimental mine lie almost horizontal. The di rection of strata, it was said, may have some influence on the trans mission of radio waves, but the present experiments eave nn con clusive evidence on this point. No doubt the degree of wetness of the strata influences the transmission of radio waves, it was reported. The mine used is a comparatively dry mine, but the overburden is damp, and a small stream of water is con- . tinuousiy flowing from the mine. ; This overburden consists chiefly of soil and soft shale. The under ground, workings of the mine follow a horizontal five-foot vein of bitu minous coal, and the transmission and reception inside the mine fol lowed the course of this vein. Details of the experiments are ex plained in Serial 2407. which may be obtained from the bureau of . mines at Washington. . JEWELS, LIQUOR CARRIED Two Men Bound Over to Grand Jury on Dry Law Violations. Jewels and Hauor wrA thn ofnv -. in trade in a little store at 60 North feixtb street, conducted by Joe Maz ti ro. sky, according: to evident n. . duced at a hearing before United states commissioner Frazer yester- day, and which resulted in Mazu rosky and J. J. Anderson being ' bound over to the grrand Jury en ; charges of violating the prohibition ' law. ' Federal prohibition agents on Na vember 23 succeeded in allaying the - auapicion of tha proprietor and 11 gained admission to a back room, where Anderson was found with a bottle of moonshine, sold at 50 cents the drink. The sleuths entered the place on three separate occasions on that day and on - :h occasion sucr ceeded in purchasing- drinks. When they returned later with a search warrant Anderson poured one bottle of liquor down a sink and smashed the other on the floor. One of the raiders mopped up the liquid with his handkerchief and succeeded in salvaging enough to be used as evi dence. Tests showed that the liquor was only 45 proof. William Jett, who was arrested in the place at the time of the raid, was released when evidence showed he had no connection with the resort. LOUT TH' NEW' MOSES MAYOR HYLAN' PROPHET OF THIRD PARTY. Tammany Man, Back From West, Says People Are Sick and Tired of Standpatism. New York "World. Mayor Hylan, with Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien, Surrogate elect of New York county, and Grover A. Whalen, commissioner of plant and structures, arrived last evening from French Lick Springs, Ind., where he had conferred with Tammany Leader Murphy. He looked to be in splendid health and said he was feeling very well. Mrs. Hylan, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Sinno'tt, the mayor's daughter and son-in-law; Mrs. Whalen and her little daughter and Albert Meehan of the board of purchase greeted the mayor at the Pennsylvania station. Although his train was an hour and 23 minutes late. Mayor Hylan wa much more cheerful than when he is delayed five minutes in the subway. When asked about the third party, whose coming he predicted at French Lick Springs, the mayor said: "Unless' the old parties nominate progressive candidates like John son and Hearst, there will be a third party. I have talked with a great m&r.y people in the west and they are sick and tired of stand patism. They are tired of having the government controlled by the international bankers and insist on its being returned to the people." KUBLI TO CALL MEETING Multnomah Legislative Delegation to Confer Soon. ' K. K. Kubli will Issue a call this week for a meeting of the Mult nomah legislative delegation. The date will be some time next week. Mr. Kubli will issue the call by virtue of having been delegation chairman in the 1921 session. After the delegation has met and elected a chairman and secretary It can decide whether it wishes to hold hearings on local bills before the legislature meets. As a rule these hearings accom plish little, for the bills discussed at a pre-session hearing are threshed over again at Salem and at the hearings the members usually decline to commit themselves one way or another. ORCHARD MOUSE FOUGHT Fruit Districts Get 40,000 Pounds of Poisoned Grain. OL.TMPIA, Wash., Dec. 2 (Spe cial.) More than 40,000 pounds of poisoned grain has been spread in the Yakima, "VVenatchee and Okano gan districts during the last three weeks in the campaign against the orchard mouse, Leo K. Couch, in charge of rodent control in the Washington district, announced yes terday. Early results have been so good and the campaign so effective, that the work has, been slowed down now, Mr. Couch said. In the Yakima district more than 20,000 pounds of grain poisoned with a strychnine mixture was distrib uted over about 9000 acres of or chard owned by more than 300 growers. Woodmen Initiate 56. A class of 56 candidates was initiated into Multnomah camp. No. 77, of the Woodmen of the World Friday night at the regular meeting in their hall at East Sixth and Alder streets. The degree was conferred by the regular officers of the camp and the degree team, with Earl Smith, captain, and E. A. Clark, consul commander, in charge. Dur ing the social hour following the Initiation ceremony J. E. Dunne, who has just returned from an ex tended trip through the east, gave an interesting account of his journey.

FARMERS SEEK LEGISLATION National Council of Co-Operativen to Meet In "Washington. DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 2. The meet ing of the national council of farmers' co-operatives, to be held in Washington December 14 to 16, is the result of a common desire on the part of the co-operative market ing organizations throughout the 308 Washington Los Angeles San United States to obtain national legislation on rural credits, and the same desire on the part of leaders in Congress in enacting into a law a rural credits bill that will meet the need of agriculture, according to C. O. Moser of the Texas farm bureau, and member of the council. Virtually one-sixth of all the agri cultural commodities of the United States now are sold co-operatively, he said, and the success or failure of such institutions is a matter of great national concern. There are now approximately 160 such organi zations doing an annual business in excess of a billion dollars. The conference, while designed chiefly to confer . with the national leaders in congress in the matter of the financial legislation, will dis cuss other proper needs' of agricul ture credit, both from the standpoint of livestock and crop production and of marketing. Representatives of virtually- all of ihe large co-operative marketing associations will be present and par ticipate in the conference, includ ing the California fruit groups, the apple organizations of the north west, the wheat organizations of the north and middle west, the potato organizations of Maine, Michigan, New York and Wisconsin, the milk organizations of New England and Chicago, as well as the perishable associations in the southern states, including those ol Florida. This will include as well the co-operatives in the south of rice, tobacco and cot BOY TO SING SERVICE Morris Kottenberg to Introduce Novelty at Synagogue.

ARENA MAY BE FACTORY Milwaukie Car Barns Proposed as Site for Ladder Plant. That the old Milwaukie car barns, in use during the past year as an arena for fistic encounters, may be used to house a new industry in the community is now highly probable as a result of a move to establish a ladden factory in the building. The plan for the new factory was explained to the members of the Milwaukie Real Estate and De velopment association at their last regular meeting and will be dis cussed again at their next session on Wednesday night. Promoters of the new industry desire to interest Milwaukie business interests in the plan and to incorporate at once. Phone your want ads to The Oregonian.

New Zealander Says Adventure Leads Maoris From Borneo - to Pacific Mystic Isles. SYDNEY, N. S. W., Dec. 2. The Polynesian race originally sprang from an Aryan people. This is the conclusion of Alfred H. Newman, a member of the Polynesian society of New Zealand, which has devoted much time and study to the origin of the race. For many years mem bers of the society have been col lecting the old myths, traditional songs and geneologies of the south sea islanders. In his book "Who Are the Maoris?" Mr. Newman traces the origin of the race to an Aryan people who crossed from the Punjab to the plains of the Ganges between 2000 B. C. and 1500 B. C, where they conquered and aft erward amalgamated with a Mon golian race inhabiting that region. The ruling castes were, however, proud of their Aryan blood and en deavored to preserve the Aryan as cendency, according to Mr. Newman. The result of this fusion was a mixed race with dominant Aryan characteristics. About 1000 B. C. the race Invaded Burma, slowly fought its way down the peninsula and about 500 B. C. crossed into Java, which they found inhabited. "When the Maoris left Borneo and New Guinea they did not do so from curiosity or love of adventure or because they were skilled naviga tors," wrote Mr. Newman. "They left in consequence of great wars. Th emigrants were nearly always the beaten people and they left isl and after island for the same rea son." He said he believed the emigrants left the Malay archipelago between 200 A. D. and 300 A. D., coming first to Samoa and then to other islands of the south Pacific. It is from such a source, he said, that the most dar ing navigators and hardy adventur ers the world has ever seen have sprung. Linn Trials Are Set. ALBANY, Or., Dec. 2. (Special.)
