These experilnenh] convinced him that the beam sysâ€" tem, now used successfully, was pm-l tical. .He said one of the biggest problems, however, and one that has not yet been overcome, is fading, esâ€" pecially in connection with the emâ€" ployment of short waves, although his experience had convinced him thit fading was also serious on waveâ€" lengths between 200 and 1000 meters.

It has also been noticed that the times of bad fading pracâ€" tically always coincide with the apâ€" pearance of large sunspots and inâ€" tense aurora borealis, usually accomâ€" plished by magnetic storms and at the same periods when cables and land lines experience difficulties or are thrown out of action. .

This is not saying: that the cothmittee will attempt to designate or select a nominee; indeed, it is more likely it will reassert that the province of the committee is to elect, and not select, ‘candidates but it will be surprising if this gathering does not give some indication as to | which way the wind is biwing. This political indecisionm as to the identity of the candidate‘ is not as dangerous as some people‘ seem inâ€" clined to think. The convention is still seven months away, ahid election day a year.

D. Lewis of the Department on Mines and Minerals. During September 12 additional mines in the state resumed operations after a shutdown of more than five months. This resulted in employment being furnished to 2,171 miners over the record of August. The reports for the month show 68 mintes in opâ€" eration in the state with a total of 7.172 miners employed. A slight inâ€" crease in the number of working days is also shown, being 19.9 for the month of September, as compared to 17.8 during August. 1 St. Clair Holds Lead ‘ Among the counties of the state St. Clair holds the record for the number: of mines in operation, reporting a total of 16. Fulton takes second place with 10, while five mines are reported in operation in each Madison, Verâ€" milion and Williamson counties. Other counties report as follows: three each in Randolph, Perry and Saline; two !cnch in Christian, Jackson, Marion, Peoria and Tazewell, with one each in ;Gnlhtin. Knoy, LaSalle, Macon, Maâ€" | coupin, White and Woodford. During the month 957,303 tons of coal were mined, being 50 per cent zreater than during the three months of April, May and June, and pracâ€" tically equal to the production in the state for the months of July and August. Three Fatal Accidents Three fatal accidents were reported in the state during the month, one each in Peoria, Perry and Randoiph counties. During the same period 147 miners suffered injuries which resultâ€" ed in loss of time from their employâ€" ment. ‘Knox and Macoupin counties were the only mining sections in which~to injuries or fatalities were reported. 9 For the nine months period of 1927 a total of 65 miners have lost their lives, while 8,728 suffered injuries. An accident has resulted on the average for each 3,282 tons of coal mined. The month of September showed the highest average of any month of the , 6,512 tons of coal being mined.
