Cabinet Talk of Plan
to End Fiume Matter
High School Lad Has Radio
-Picture Sending Machine
Paris, May 3. The Italian cabinet
appears to consider that any over
tures should be on the basis of giv
ing Fiume to Italy, as it is asserted
the loss of the city to her might
cause an uprising menacing the gov
ernment. One suggestion has 'been made
for .a solution by means of, a formal
recognizing of Italian 1 authority
over the city, but leaving its ulti
mate control to a plebiscite. '
Some of Premier Orlando's
friends, according to advices, are
urging him to resign as the best
means of eliminating any personal
element standing in the Way of a
resumption of the negotiations.
The departure for Triest of Gen
eral Diaz, the Italian commander-in-chief,
followed the receipt of re
ports that the Jugo-Slav might make
a military demonstration to hold
Fiume, the government desiring to
have him near the scene

to- Plan Device for
Exploding Bombs
by 'Wireless.
Installation of a wireless appara
tus capable of sending and receiving
pictures is the next piece of appara
tus that will be added to the large
wireless plant of John O'Rourke,
16-year-old Central High school
electrical genius Exploding bombs
by wireless is 'another feat that the
youthful electrician hopes to accom
plish when the government removes
the ban on amateur wireless sets
upon the signing of the peace treaty.
.'Working together with Fred R.
Bullus, O'Rourke has built the larg
est wireless apparatus permitted am
ateurs by the government and has
enlarged it by original devices until
it is able to receive messages from
Russia, Japan, France, England and
all parts of the United States and
Canada. , ' , '
Because of war conditions the
sending apparatus is under govern
ment seal, but messages are received
daily on the receiving pieces. A
bungalow is being built near his
home, 6406 Maple street, in which
his station will be installed.
Fred Bullus, who has done elec
trical work for eight years, is at
present engaged in perfecting a new
detector, a torm ot the fleming os
cillator, which will make recording
messages on tape practicable on air
ships. He recently re'turned from
service in France with the artillery
and also saw service in China dur
ing the Boxer rebellion. '
Working with my wireless is
more than a hobby with me," said
John. "I am going to make, it my
life work. I started about five years
ago with a receiving apparatus that
built I intend going to Boston
Tech when I graduate and then to
all the other schools that can teach
me anything about radio work."
U Kourke is a sophmore at the
Central high school. By working
in the evening he has earned enough
to pay for his apparatus, the bunga
low that is being built and Liberty
bonds besides. He is a sub-agent
for an electrical company selling
radio apparatus and has installed
wireless sets for amateurs.
He is planning on erecting a
station at the Boy Scout camp on
Child's point to communicate with
a small set that he has been asked
to install in the Boy Scout head
quarters ,at Seventeenth and Far-
nam. Flans are also being made to
erect a station in the high school
cadet camp. But unless the peace
treaty is signed, the sending ap
paratus will not be allowed to be
insianea.
Messages from the principal Eu
ropean stations are received daily
as well as time corrections sent
from the wireless station at Arling
ton. , Before the war it was pos
sible to transmit messages much
more quickly than by telegraph.
Besides being an expert, along
radio lines. O'Rourke is familiar
with the operation of moving pic
ture machines ana A-ray apparatus.

answer to one of its advertisements
published in The Bee from Bryan S.
Eggers, with the army of occupa

-When your feet are
"nearly killing" you
When your feet ache, or your toes hurt, or
K you have a feeling of soreness in your heels
, no wonder you feel ill all over. There is
k every likelihood you have a tendency to
"weak foot"
. This means that the delicate ligaments and
muscles which support the arch bones have
begun' to weaken and the arch is being
forced downward. I
."When this happens authorities agree that
the only safe and sure way to secure posi-
i ;tive relief is to give the feet the proper
'scientific support at once. ,
i Foot Expert to Serve You
In this store you will find a graduate-PrSctipedist a foot expert'
"a ,man wherhas been specially trained in the. science of giving
foot comfort,. You will walk out of the store with a new and won-,
derfu'l feeling of foot comfort Dr. Weeks at your service.
