The disc ts·1111 arranged that all. light is exclud· ed from the lllm except that which goes through the square boles. The disc turns very fast, and as It turns passes the beam of light across each "frame,'' with the. re.~ult that an Individual beam of light touches every part of the "frame."

PICKARD N THE second anniversary of the great Miami hurricane the tropIcal storm that already had devastated Porto Rico, the VIrgin Islands and some Islands of the Lesser Antilles struck the east ooast of Florida In the Palm Beat'h region and swept through the center of the state, turning again to the northeast and continuing Its destructive course along the Atlantic coast, Reports coming through shattered lines of communication showed this hurricane was one of the worst disasters of recent years. The total number of deaths may reach 2 000, and many thousands are homeless and without food and clothing. It Is lmpos~lble now to make a reasonable estimate of the tremendous property losses. In Porto Rloo late reports place the dead at 175 or more; In Guadeloupe, 1 F'rench Island, nearly 700 were li:llled ; the known dead In Florida number at least 700 and may be many more. The city of West Palm Beach was practically wrecked, and the fatalities were many and the destruction great In the Lake Okeechobee area which was Inundated. Palm Beach, too, sutl'ered severely, many line residences and. business buildings being destroyed. Florida National Guardsmen were called out promptly to prevent looting and to aid the sufferers. The American Red Cross responded Immediately to the calls for help from Porto Ulco and Florida and supplies and physicians nod nurses were hurried to the stricken regions. Generous citizens answered appeals for monetary aid with large subscriptions, John D. Rockef~ller, Jr., headIng the list In New York with $2<l,OIJO. Relief Director BnkPr of the Hed Cross went at once to P01"to Hico to take charge of the ta~k of restoration on the devastated island.

The fall months will see this number Increased rapidly. At present most of the raolomovles are In patomime only, but Increase In "picture quality" will come with experience and perfec-tion of transmit· tlng methods.

To turn these radio wave9 back In· to light, an arrangement which perm!ts the use of a mercury arc lamp Is used. By this adaptation the weak radio currents control the action of the many times more powerful cuiTent operating the arc lump. This actlon may be compared to the action of a radio tube, where the weak radlo current on the grid of the tube controls the action of the Independent and more powerful plate current. Thus the mercury arc lamp goes bright or dim as fast as the current chnnges. nnd Its light at any instnnt Is In proportion to the light that the electric e)·e sees In the same instant. To return the dots of light to their original pattern, another revolving qisc or scanner Is also used which 1~ similar to the transmitting scanner.

'fhe Uepublkan candidate spent two days In New .Jersey, and the apparent results of the trip were highly eucouruging to his manager. His chief address was delivered In Newark and was dirPetert especially to iubor.

Democratic Chairman Raskob's re· tort was that Hoover's speech was the beginning of a Republican campaign to misrepresent the Democratic attl· tude on the tari1T and on Immigration. Hoover's plans at present contemplate only a speech at Ellzabethtown. Tenn., on October 6, and addresses In New York and Boston, before returnIng to California to vote. However conslderalile pressure Is being brought on him to spE'nk nlso In Chicago and In Texas on his trip across the continent.

Hoover stands squnrely opposed ·to this principle by which the farmer could get the benefit of the tarill'. What remains of the 1\IcNary-Haugen blll Is a mere matter of method, and I do not limit myself to the exact mechanIcs and method ~mbodled In that bill." Smith's personal popularity among the workers he met In Omaha, Lincoln, Oklahoma City and elsewhere In the Middle West, pleased him Immensely. While In Omaha a bunch of Indians made him a member of the Omaha tribe as "Chief Happy Warrior" and gnve hlm a war bonnet. Senator Borah started a ~erles of speeches tn eight states for the purpose of counteracting the effects of Smith's tour. Wisconsin, where the politUpIcalIN situation has been so puzzling, the conservative Uepubllcan forces, ted by Kohler, nominee for governor, bested the La Follette crowd In the state com·entlon by gaining control of the resolutions committee and haviug the convention Indorse Hoover and Curtis and the national platform. 'l'he radicals, however, won the chuirmanship of the state central committee, the place going to Herman L. Ekern,· a de,·oted foliO'\\'er of La Follette. Leaders of both parties were satisfied with the results of the primaries to Massachusetts. Benjamin Loring Young, former speaker of the Massachusetts house of representutlvc s and the choice of Herbert Hoover's achisers, was returned a victor over Ebeo S. Draper, former state senator aud choice of the Hepubiieau wet faction, as the ltepublican nominee for Cnited States senutor. He will oppose Senator Da,·id I. Walsh in November. On the Democratic side, Gen.' Charle~ H. Cote, one of the original Smith-forPresident men, won an orerwhelming victory over John J.

In Detroit the Packard 1\Iotor company .u•notmred successful completion of test ftights with an airplane powered by an oil-burnlnlJ' motor, the first Diesel type aircraft engine ever built.
