It may be explained that the ab- fect of this instrument is to enable! the attention of any ship to be call- ed to a Distress Signal, although a Wireless Operator is not on watch at the time. Ships which do not provide for a certified Operator to be at the Wireless Instrumenta con- tinuously, may by means of the Auto Alarm Device, ensure that no Distress Call is missed.
System of Bello. When the Operator goes off watch, the Alarm Davice is switch- ed directly to the ship's aerial in place of the ordinary receiver, and bells are provided in the Wireless Cabin, and on the ship's bridge. These bells on being jung by the alarm call, will continue to ringi until the Wireless Operator goes to the instruments to ascertain what ie required. The pre-arranged signal which rings the bells is a preliminary to the well known S.O.S. distress call and consists of a series of dushes, each of four seconds duration, separated by in- tervals of one second. The bells
will ring at the termination of the third dash and there is à sufficient degree of security against false calls without jeopardising the chance of successful working! through heavy interference or at- mospherics.
New York, Yesterday. It is estimated that there are 5,000 unemployed--and the num- ber is increasing-in New York City. Free lodging houses, most of which had been closed for some years have re-opened, and the bread-lines" yesterday were the longest since 1916. Hundreds of men lined up for hours in the bitter cold to obtain coffee and bread from the missions.
New York City is confronted with the acutest unemployment problem in the States except in the mining areas of Pennsylvania and Ohio. -Reuter's Américan Service.
