'GO AHEAD' POLICY SEEN
. Nation Believed - Readjusting
Itself Without Any Hint
of Panic.
By David Lawrence.
(Special Correspondent of The Eve
nln0 World.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (Copyright
1920). Business conditions tlirouc'i
out tlie United States arc more a sub
ject of discussion among Government
offlclals nowadays than questions ot
foreign policy or national politics.
The passing of tho election has
brought back to some extent the non
partisan viewpoint which prevallod
during tho war. Slen are not so like
ly to express opinions that relied on
tno opposlto political party. Thero is
the beginning hero of a real appre
ciation of tho big problems ahead.
For Instance, much talk has been
heard about repealing tho excess
profits tax. CongrcBS will ptwuably
do something about It In due time,
but tho Interesting question Is being
asked whether the drop In prices as
well as profits will not actually re
duce the revenues that have hereto
fore been expected from tho excess
profits taxes. Some observers have
gone so far as to suggest that for all
practical purposes the business situa
tion will before long have virtually
repealed the tax.
On tho whole, information available
In tho national cnpltal on business
conditions throughout the country
reveala a disinclination on tho part
of consumers to buy. Stocks have
therefore piled up in many businesses.
Manufacturers who have had orders
cancelled are. however, using the op
portunity to cut down labor overhead
and to weed out lnelllclent help.
It scorns to be generally expected
that tho first of January will witness
a marked change. With st' cks run
olng low, tho feeling seems to be that
buying by the merchant will have to
begin and that the consumer also will
find It necessary to Join in jhc buying
procession.
Another reason for optimism In
Washington, however, is the certainty
taat Kuropean markets will come
back to America Just us soon as fin
ancial stability is accomplished.
Everybody seems agreed that Kuropo
needs American goods and needs
em desperately and that the re
financing of Kuropo will again bring
full production to American factories.
.Yet thero is very little said hero
about Governmental aid to credit op
erations In Europe.
With tho election out of the way,
official Washington may decide to
take a moro active part In interna
tional credit operations, even in ad
vance of the new Administration.
With tho hlglt cost of living, many
Government employees who originally
sot their Jobs through political In
fluence haven't beon espce.ally enthu
siastic about staying in Government
employ when attractive positions aro
avallablo in the business world. The
Republicans will find the hou3w:lean
Ing Job they have been promising the
country a very easy task In many
respects, but the hard part of It will
be to get competent persons to replaco
IhoBe who are every day resigning to
enter the business or professional
world at blghor salaries than the Gov
ernment has been able to afford.
With the excess profits tax falling
off In revenuo and with liquor taxes
naturally diminished, the question of
how tho money is going to be raised
is puzzling everybody. It Is seriously
advanced by some officials that taxes
will go up Instead of down unless tho
tax burden Is distributed over more
years than originally planned. Some
of tho experts say this may tfinpo
rarlly easo the load, but that In the
long run tho plan will not prove eco
nomical. Briefly, now that the elec
tion is over, Washington is changing
from tho political to the economic
phas3 of reconstruction.
KILLED BY PTOMAINES.

MISSING BOY WITH A CIRCUS?
bonis Cnvnllt nioniipmrril 1'roin
M'dl nobokeu Home I. ant May
Louis Cavalll, fourteen years old, bus
been missing from the homo of his
mother. Mrs. Margaret Cavalll. No. 520
Syrns Street. West Iloboken, N. J., since
May 4. Mrs. Cavalll thinks that tho lad
lias gone with tho Heth Ureter Circus.
His ruling passion was tho circus, and
the mother s bi-lief Is strengthened by
the fJ,-t that sho reirlviil from him a
nowspaper from PltzKurnlu. On., which
carrlfd an ad of the Heth Ureter show.
When Louis left home he wore a
brown sweater, dark groen cap, blue
knickers, tan shoes and hlack stockings.
He has black hair, dark romploxltfi and
eyes, is about five feet tall and weighs
mnetrfkPOiinds. Ills mother's telephone
Is Union Ull.
All Is ready Tor tho first demon
stration In America ot Edouard'
Bolln'fl marvellous Invention of trans
mitting photographs to a great dis
tance over a wire. The preliminary
tests show that the delicate mocban- !
ism la working In splto of Its voyage
from Kuropo and everything Is ready
for the first regular test to-morrow of
a photograph sent from The World to
Tho St. Louis I'ost-Dlapatch. 1,000
miles away.
M. Uclin decided that a photo
graph which can be produced
only by light could be reproduced
only by- tho same means. In other
words, tho result at tho receiving end
cf tho line must bl an actual photo
graph. That Is the secret ot his In
vention. This has beon aptly
scribed as tho translation ot a phono
graph record Into terms ot light.
Tho photograph to be sent Is first
turned into a phonograph record.
The noodle of the phonograph tra
verser every nlnutost. part of this,
record, and tho diaphragm ot the irii
crophono to which it Is attached trans
mits over the wire a current that varies
with the surface ovej which the needle
travels. It docs not matter how long
tho wlro may bo nor how far distant
the receiving apparatus, tho varia
tions of tho current arrive unchanged
at the fur end.
At the receiving point tho current
moves a tiny silver mirror which
quivers In time with the vibrations of
tho diaphragm on the sending phono
graph. Tho quiverings of this mirror
send u ray of light flickering back and
forth through a small glass screen,
graduated from opacity of transpar
ency and therefore allowing tho light
to pass In varying di'Erees of intensity.
TJils varying ray is concentrated by a
special lens so that no matter on what
point ot the lens It strikes its focus Is
always Just inside an almost micro
scopic holo In tho light-proof case In '
which Is the sensitized paper or flhti, I
on, a rapidly revolftig cylinder. (
Tho effect or this Is to expose tho '
oensltized surface to a ray of light ;
which, as the cylinder revolves rapidly I
and progresses slowly along the Hue
of its uxls, traces a spiral lino around .
It until ull Its surface has been cov- j
ered. The colls of the spiral aro so
close together that It takes n powerful i
magnifying glass to separato them. I
Thus Uie picture gradually grows, !
with all Its lights and shades, on tho
sensitized paper as this revolves with-
In its dark case,
The wide possibilities of this Inven
tion when It shall be applied practi
cally to the work of tho. world are
almost obvious. What would not the
newspapers of Iioston and Chicago
and at. Louis and San Francisco, for
Instance, havo given If such photo
graphs of tho Wall Street bomb ex
plosion as appoaifd in Tho Evening
World that afternoon could have
been transmitted to them simul
taneously with tho telegraphed nows
of that startling event!
With slight changes In detail evoh
moving pictures might be sent across
the Continent, for tho apparatus can
bo made In any slzo to transmit any
form of photograph.
