Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use Dy
engineers of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culml-
mated in a successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Airing
ton to stations thousands OF miles
away.
In May, 1917, steps were taken TO
combine the experience of the eng1'
neers and of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later the airplane tele-
phone was fact, and in October, Ill.,
long-range test was made. Tele-
phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in flight up to 20
miles apart and from afrplane TO
ground up to a distance of 40 miles.
The development Of voice command

DATES FROM COLONIAL DAYS
George Washington Hotel, in Princess
Anne, Maryland, Relic of Coun.
trys Earliest Days.

Princess Anne, Md, as It's name sug-
gests, is town with history that
goes back to the time when Mary
land was royal colony, ruled by Lord
Baltimore from his great estate at
Dover House.
Naturally, you expect Princess Anne
to be very colonial" in atmosphere.
The railroad station is your first dis
appointment, being surprisingly
large and substantial brick affair.
But then, railroads are great destroy
ers of atmosphere anyway The George
Washington hotel, which is said to
derive its name fror~ the fact that
the father of his country once spent
the night there, is all that you could
ask in the way of an antique, as Is
the bus which takes you there.
The most interesting thing about the
| George Washington hotel is its great
! staircase, which was built 100 years
ago. and has not been substantially
altered since. There is one stairway
for women and one for men. These
differ In that the w0men's staircase
has only one railing, while that for
men has two-which seems to imply
that colonial men may have needed
a little extra support. when they went
to bed after the festivities in the great
, hall below.
