Automatic Kadia Indention ricKs TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1922. Up and Prints Words On Ticker Primary Time It is the glorious spring primary time for political primates. On every hand they hear the silent summons for office and offer themselves as sacrifices on the altar of pub lic service. No radio la needed to waft them the pleadings of the populace that fill the circumambiant air like "spirit lutes touched on a spirit sea," and hard indeed would be the heart that would deny the multitude this boon.- The call is positive never negative and all too frequently mandatory. All nature echoes it: the rippling water ripples it, the gurgling moonshine gurgles it, the murmuring trees murmur it, the frenzied fanatic fans it, and the tin soldiers draft it in this beautiful land of flim-flam. No one can solve the mystery of the call, the whence ness of the whyness or the whichness of the thusness, the magic of the summons to office coming from neither angel nor devil knows where.. It is a secret the aspirants share only with nature, but there is a lurking suspicion that what charms them as sweet music is much the same tune that the rushes whispered about King Midas that he had the ears of an ass, as they certainly have the bray. ( It is a wondrous transformation that lure of office conjures. Like a magic wand it touches the mediocre and genius blossoms; it fills the moron with the wisdom of the sage ; it gilds sounding brass like burnished gold and trans forms the sordid spoilsman into the uplift economist. It makes the feeble minded strong enough in the contempla tion of their own virtues to set aside the constitution with the wave of a hand and with the stroke of a pen create a new one. Pale and faded and dull indeed are the gorgeous colors of the multihued rainbow in comparison with the prismatic promises of the self-appointed and self-annointed peripatet ic candidate. Like a medieval king his touch is a cure for all kinds of evil, altho all his life his touch may have been evil. He pledges himself to anything and everything that doesn't come due until after election and offers as a plat form what in reality is a scaffold for good government. Like Louis XIV he imagines himself the state. "Audacity, auducity, all is audacity" exclaimed Napo leon, which is perhapn the best possible definition of the average gubernatorial candidate, who is also an acute suf ferer from megalomania that is, has grandiose delusions concerning himself and his capacity for fooling the people. Amid these denizens of demagogy, what chance has modest merit? - it - 4:,, New York, April 11. An au to-1 ether impulse, like water flowing matio radio receiving device that lnto P'P9. comes Into . contact StarlighT By tbe Noted Author ID AH M'OLONB OIB30N Kalph Winstou'i Daughter, "Are you sure, Thuo, that my tulkur la on his way out horet aaked with a trepidation I could not conceal. "Tea, He Is due here within u (ew days. We are going to slgu him up as director If we can." I niade no reply. The thougiu surged through my brain that Mu father whom I had never seen wat. coining soon. My Joy knew no bounds. All auger and hatred to Theodore Stra tton were swept away by the news. At last I hau some one upon whom I could leait I was bubbling over with gooil spirits. Kvett the director noticed bow well I was looking. "Why all the 'pep' and anima tion, Miss Winston? Have you fallen heir to a million," he asked with a smile. "More," I exclaimed Jubilantly "My father, whom I have never seen, will be here in a few days ,He Is Ralph Winston." "You don't mean It!" exclaimed the director In astonishment Then, manlike, hie mind turned to tbe busineesslde of tbe affair and he said thoughtfully: "What money-making combination. Your beauty and talent under Ralph Winston's direction, Wow! "Where Is our first shot going to be," Interrupted Theodore BtraUon abruptly, bringing us all back to earth. "Illght there on the dock where they are setting up the camera Bay, Btratton, did you know thai Mls Winston is Ralph Winston' daughter!" "Just beard It this morning." "Tbe story will be the een na tion of the Industry," continued the director. "It Is a good thing that we tig ued her up for this pic ture, and you had better get her name to a new contract right away. Btratton. Never mind the price." "i am afraid tYit Is Impossible now. She will want to be with ber father, of course." And Theo 4or Btratton gave m an appeal tug look as it asking me never to tell my father of the affair at the hotel. I felt sorry for htm. Tbe director turned to the at fair of the moment. "All ready on tbe dock! Re member, you are just coming down from the hotel. You Strattoa and Miss Sanson get into the runabout We will take a shot of you getting out of It, Miss Winston, you can greet them as though you had al ready arrived and were walling Throw, your arms around Mias Sanson's neck and kiss her." A I did so Muud Sanson said "Let me congratulate you, Vir ginia. Theo has told me. My, but you are a lucky girl.' There wa note of relief la her volt-e which said plainer than words could have done that tbe audden turn of eventa had re moved me as a rival for Theo. Tie whole day went smoothly and happily, for 1 knew that ev ery hour brought my father ueare, .0 me. I made love tu Theodore titrat ion with so much fervor thut he thought it real rather than simu lated. He paid my acting a great compliment by remarking under his breath: "Oh, you do love me, Unby-chlld, you do love me, don't youf" And, while giving him a look thut lu the camera would have aieaut a promise of lifelong devo don I whispered: "Not the least hit in the world." "Cut," shouted the director. Theodore Stratum turned and said to me: "If you got that scene over and by gad, I think you have, you ire an actress. "Do you know, Maud, I tried to ill it with this Daby-chlld on th let, I put my whole soul into the words when I said: 'You do love me, Baby-child! You do love me! Ana l ll swear t,nat you were watching her at that moment would have said that she did love me. As a matter of fact her an swer was: 'Not the least bit In the world.' " I was surprised to fiud tha Maud Sanson did not seem to en joy the announcement that I was not In love with Theo, any more than she did the thought that 1 was In love with him. "ft is a strange thing that when a woman loves a man she feels jealous It any other woman loves him and Insulted It ahe doesn't,' observed Mrs. Chester that night when I told her about It. "Maud Sanson might have forgiven you for lovlug Theodore Btratton, Vir ginla. but I am afraid that you have engendered her lifelong en mlty by appearing impervious to his charms." Mrs. Chester was as happy as t over the fact that my father was coming and although she did not say It, I some way had a feeling that her friendship for my father had been a little more than ordt nary. She referred so often to the fact that my mother was Ralph Win- tton'a only love, that I came to feel that she had tried to supplant her memory although I wss quite sure that the was at least five years older, If not more, than my father. Theodore Stratton's avoidance jf me all day was very noticeable At first I hau decided that I would change my room but I found that It was not necessary as the clerk Informed me that Mr. Stratum wanted a room on the other side of the house. He could not stand the east wind, consequently It Mrs. Cheater wished, she could have his room, and we could have the ronnectlug door open. "Mr. Btratton has 8S7 now it you want to call htm. He asked me to give you the uumber of his room, Mlas Wlustoa." volunteered tbe clerk. Just then a messenger boy handed a number of telegrams to him. Hastily be went through them. "Here Is one for you. Mis Winston." he said. "And one for Miaa Sanson." I noticed him niarkiug a room number on It, and although I did not consciously mean to do so, my j eyes registered and recorded the number. It as S3S. will automatically pick up and print preaa dispatches sent la wire less code! That is the latest device, Just perfected, for the radio enthusl ast. The machine, when adjust ed, runs like a clock and requires no operator. The device has been protected and patented by William G. n Finch, an experimental engineer, of Buffalo, who Is an associate member of the Institute of Radio Engineers and other technical so cieties. He has been identified with radio development since 908, holding one of tbe first lie enuea granted by the government early lu 1913. During the World War he organized and had charge of the radio and First Field Artll lery, N. Y. 0. Finch's radio device enables anyone to receive broadcasted ode messages from any distance, , record being made of the mes gage, which la printed automatl cally on a tape. It can pick up news dispatches. Gives Practical Demonstration During the past year Mr. Finch gave practical demonstration of his invention at the Hoboken rad io station of the Delaware & Lack iwanna railroad. The navy de partition t co-operated in one prac tical demonstration, which was successful. Radio engineers declare the Finch invention has advanced the new field of radio telemechanics. The device has proved that explo slves can be ignited by radio at almost any distance that a mov ing body can be controlled in the aame fashion, by radio waves or motors; bells and other indicating devices can be manipulated, whe ther they be visible or audible to the manipulator mattering not at all. The simplicity of the Finch in ventlon permits a novice to set It Into operation. The machine can be tuned In to any desired station and the ap paratus adjusted so that It will pick up and record any message emanating from the station tuned to. "Can Be Tuned In" "For instance," Mr. Finch said "many ships carry only one wire less operator, who, of course, can not be on duty all the time. My devise can be tuned to the 600 meter wave-length the one re served for '8 0 3' calls and when such a call la received It can be so arranged that tha ship's whis tle, audible or Visible Indicating devices, will be operated, at the same time making a graflc record of the message sent, whether the operator be present or not. "This Is accomplished by a su persensitive radio relay, the Im portant part of the Invention and without which the feat could not be accomplished. When the In strument In tuned In and the wita the supersensitive ' relay a series of Impulses corresponding to the receiving Impulse will be accurately transmitted and record ed." Mr. Finch heartily endorses the stand taken by Secretary of Com merce Hoover, who holds that the private experimenter should be as sisted and not hampered by regu lations affecting radio activity. Mr. Finch came from the amateur experimental qlass. . . . i CONVERTED WORKER FOR SALVATION ARMY- DEAD New Yortf; April 11. -China town Oertie, one of thia city's un- derworld figures until 11 years ago, when she became a Salva tlon Army worker, la dead. One bllzzardy night in 1911, "Gertie," weary of her miserable existence, purchased a phial of poison and sauntered down the Bowery toward her quarters. She stopped at Pell street, an en trance to Chinatown, ; where a Salvation Army band was con ducting a meeting. She threw the phial in the snow and followed them. ' ' . And so Gertie, pickpocket and concert hall woman, was converted. Sunday she conducted a meet ing on the Bowery, told tha story of her life and converted several human derelicts. Sunday night she died of heart disease. COUNCIL IS GOAL OF SMITH Joseph N.
