Light and Sun TO CONTROL PLANES Sending Out Heat and Pow- er are Foreseen by Wizard ' r------ London, June 25--A ray of suns shine chanced to strike a small mir- ror held in the hands of a youth of genius some 40 years ago in Italy, As. a result of this seemingly com- mon occussence, 10 years later, for the first time, a ship at sea in distress was enabled to summon help with an 50.58, : The story was told by a quiet, mod est, and unassuming Italian gentle- man whose name is now synonymous with wireless. It was during an ex- elusive interview in which after pre- dicting almost fantastic development in the science of wireless telegraphy, including the future wireless trans- mission of light, power and heat, moving pictures and television, he, Senator Guglielmo Marconi, described how he came to discover wireless telegraphy, " a really quite simp," he commenced, as though, instead of de~ scribing one of the greatest inven- {fans in the history of the world, he were relating the story of "why a chicken crosses the road" "Like almost every boy that ever lived," he continued simply, "1 used New Martin NOW PLAYING .

"But to me there was something more in it than sheer amusement, To me this reflection of light waves in the form of the sun's rays, meant an ideal way of transmitting signals to my friends, 1 put the idea into practice, Soon I was able to 'converse' with my friends at a distance by means of flashing sun rays, ' Cloudy Days Effect "But one day clouds hid the sun from view and as a result my sig- nalling activities were temporarily in- terrupted, Indeed I realized then for the first time that this method of communication was imperfect, And from that time on I set my mind up- on the problem of discovering a way to make up for the defects of the sys- tem, "Inasmuch as clouds or darkness prohibited the transmission of light waves emitted by the sun, | decided to use Hertzian waves which are available at all times, night or day, whether the sun shines or not, "That, as you probably know," he added simply, "1s what resulted in the invention of wireless telegraphy," The Sevator spoke in perfect Enge lish, His tone is gentle, His manner is quiet, Reclining comfortably at Mar- coni House in the Strand, he might have almost been mistaken for a col lege professor lecturing to a class ot history, Only when the correspondent ask- ed him what future he visualized for his invention, did the Senator slight- \ "But the possibilities of the devel opments of wireless telephoning were considerably increased by our latest discovery, the superimposing of tele- phone and telegraph services, By means of this we can transmit simul taneously over the same circuit, one or more telegraphic messages and a telephone conversation, This, of course, reduces operating costs con- siderably and at the same time en. ables us to obtain the utmost use of available ether space, AMATEUR ACTOR'S REALISTIC STAB Negro Enjoys Spilling His Own Blood in Act Washington, June 22. --Edward Sewell, negro, is a janitor by day and an amateur actor ey night, This week he had the part of King Saul in "Men of the Bible" which was playing to an apprecis- er rT Pp W.

All other events have been overshadowed hy the ill- ness of King George, So serious was this illness that it seemed at one time as if nothing could prevent the son from taking the place of the tather to rule the Empire, Yet, despite the fortunate frustra- tion of this epoch-making event hy the miraculous recovery of the King, his illness has served to intensify the Prince's preparation forthe position which he myst eventually occupy, At the end of last summer he satrt. ed out on what was said to he his / THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1929 fetsion of ruling some 400,000,000 peo~ ple, Early in September he set off on a big-game hunting expedition in Fast Africa, accompanied by his bro ther, the Duke of Gloucester, The vis- it was altogether unofficial and was largely paid for out of the Prince's own pocket, While the Prince was on "safari" in the heart of the game country, he received the first intimation of his father's illness, From then on, despite stupendous difficulties, he was kept daily informed as to the King's pro- gress, All manner of communications from the most modern--wireless--to the most ancient---inessengers-----wera used to keep him in touch with civis lization. Native runners, covering hundreds. of miles, carried the mes. sages from Buckingham Palace through wild jungle land to the Prince's camp, Eventually the Prince decided that «Lhe would return to England, Every thing possible was done to hasten the journey from Fast Africa to London, A warship, airplanes and special ex- ress trains brought the anxious rice to his father's bedside in re- cord time, Practically from the moment he set foot on English soil the Prince start ed on the arduous task of deputising for the. King, Although the Council of State--~formed to carry on the Em- pire's affairs while the King lay ill ~was headed by Queen Mary, it fell to the Prince of Wales to do most of the work, He has gone up yet another notch in the estimation of the people for the way in which he has carried it out, Hours of signing state papers and attending functions formed but a small part of the duties thrust upon him, Following a tour of the north coun» try mining areas, made as an effort to interest the public in the distress. ed conditions of the miners, he lust real hohday before settling down to study the vast number of 'techni calities which go to make up the pro astounded the sporting world hy an- nouyncing his intention of giving up his favorite sport of hunting, Only on CHILDREN AND SUNLIGHT PR dpi Fig a0 the winds that blow, Are you children getting sll of it they should) A sand box in the back yard where they can play contentedly and safely is one of the best ways of getting them out in the sun and absorbing it as they should, The material for a sand box, five feet square, costs only $2.25 cut to length-=all you have to do is nail it up, Telephone us and the material will be delivered ready for you to nail up in the evening, , iim cudh pouty.
