LONDON, February 13th.

A further wireless triumph in the form of trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, lasting for 15 hours, is officially an nounced by the Post Office which states that Rugby talked to New York from four in the morning till 7:30 in the evening on February 7th under abnormal- ly favourable conditions of the ether. Although results were very promising, it must be some considerable time before a commercial radio telegraph service across the Atlantic can be established, as numerous technical obstacles must first

be surmounted.

[BRITISH WIRELESS SERVICE.},

A PREMATURE FORECAST,

RUGBY, February 19th. The Post Master General points out. that the statements recently published which forecast an early inauguration of trans-Atlantic Radio Telephony of com mercial standard are premature. While experimental results are promising, it must be a considerable time before a commercial.radio telephone service across the Atalantia can be established.

It is, however, pointed out that "the completion of the Rugby Wireless Tel graph Station has enabled tests in two way transmission to be conducted in the course of ordinary routine work lan Sunday when two-way conversation tests were carried ons with very pro- mising results, conditions of the ether at the time were abnormally favourable for wireless, transmissions. There was little atmospheric disturbances or noises, the quality of speech in both directions was clear and free from distortion or fading, and the voices of individuį) speakers were easily recognisable...

It is expected, however, that numerous technical 'obstacles, including difficulties arising from interference, will be on- countered and will have to be surmounted before a commercial service is practi- cable. Full co-operation of several technical staffs of the British Post Office.

and American Telephone and Telegraph Company has been established and work will progress as rapidly as possible.

Interesting Facts

About 7am-Buk

A Natural Balme. Artificial Salves.

IN ancient times the Roman Gladiators had a speedy and sure method of healing their wounds and sores. This was by the application of costly balms prepared, with consummate care, from valuable medicinal herbs.

When the secret of these preparations perished with the full of Rome, civilisation fell back upon substitute ointments concocted of land or wool-fat and crude mineral compounds of lead, zine, mercury, etc.

A return to Nature's dwn way of healing has been made possible by the discovery of a powerful healing substance --- Zam-Buk →→ which is in universal use to-day.

The complete absence in Zam-Buk of solid particles of in- soluble mineral drugs enables the tiny pores of the skin to absorb the fine soothing, antiseptic and

healing extracts, without hind- rance of any sort. Zam-Buk carries health and bealing into inner tissues and uproots deep- seated disease.

Free from Animal Fat.

Of remarkable parity, Zam-Buk never turns rancid. It" Keeps" indefinitely and its remedial virtues never change. The purity: of Zam-Buk is proved by analysis, which shows it to be 99-92 per cent. vegetable or organic matters

Scientific ingenuity has en- dowed Zam-Buk with a high therapeutic value in skin al- ments-whether used for a cut, wound, or mash, insect bites or sore feet, of for graver cases like ulcers, eczema, Dhobics itch, prickly heat, ringworm, poisoned

med wounds, scalp sores and piles.
