GREETINGS BY RADIO
Rotary Club Initiates Novel Idea of
Wishing Happy New Year.

Davenport Iowa, Jan. Last
night at l o'clock a message con-
veying greetings for New Years Day
was sent out by the Davenport Rotary
club to every town and city in this
United States having a wireless sta
ton. 1t was relayed to the president
of each Rotary club.
Through the cooperation of Secre-
tary Tumulty in Washington, copy
of the message will reach President
Wilson to convince him that the Ro-
tary clubs are unanimous in sending
him their greetings and to give him an
idea of the preparedness" to be found
in the existence of numerous relayine
wireless stations in every part of the
country.
The idea of relaying in this manner
originated with w. H. Kirwan of the
Davenport club, owner of a private
station of considerable efficiency. Mr..
Kirwan started the message through
his station and all the receivers had
been appraised of the time of sending.
Washington, Jan. IA happy New
Year greeting was relayed across the
continent late last night by amateur
wireless operators under the direc-
ton of Captain w. H. H. Billiard, SUI
perintendent of United States radios.
The message was started from the
plant of an amateur in Davenport,
Ore, who signs "9XE" and ended its
transcontinental journey of over 5000
miles at the government wireless tow
ers at Arlington, Va, just as the New
Year came in.
The message was received in Tope-
ka last night at the stations of James
c. Hughes, 41S Taylor street, and Rob
ert Trump, 1884 Van Buren, street.
Stafford Thatcher, 80 Polk street, as
sisted Trump.
President Robert Stone OF the To-
peka Rotary club received the greeting
at II o'clock. The message read as
follows:
"A Happy New Year to you and the
members of your Rotary club. May
the coming year be full of love, laugh
ter, sunshine and song. Oswald
Becker. national president.
