How to Telephone

A very natural question which the
individual user Of the radio tele-
phone Of the future will desire to
have answered is:
"How shall I send a, radiophone
message to Mr.. William Brown in
London? Just what will have to
do to get the connection and to talk
to him? How will it sound? And
what will 1t COST" 1t is fortunately
possible to answer some Of these
questions fairly definitely to-day.
All that Mr. Smith will have to do
IN New York to talk to Mr. Brown
in London is to take his telephone
receiver OFF the hook and ask either
for radio long distance" or for
tho number Of the special high
power radio telephone transmitting
station which will carry his voice
across the Atlantic.
As soon az he gets the long dis
TANGO radio station he will be asked
by the operator to whom no wishes
to speak. On giving the name and
address Of the desired man in Lon
don he will be told to "Hang up the
receiver, please. We will call you
when your party is ready"
In a few minutes his telephone
bell will ring and he will be told
Your party In ready; go ahead,

emigration. We have had both for
many years. The wave of Ameri
canization and the revival of Ameri-
canism seem not to have made a
dent in the situation. Americans
like the froth of education. In our
campaigns we use moving pictures;
we are fascinated by the mechanics
of mass meetings and billboards and
posters and pay envelope stickcrs
But the great questions are: What is
being put into moving pictures?
What is being said at meetings? Do
any two billboards or posters tell

/ will be bridged entirely by radio.
There are two important ways of
transmitting wireless telephone mes
sages successfully-the bulb and
the alternator.
The bulb method uses vacuum
tubes, which look like large lamps
but have remarkable possibilities in
the way of producing and control
ling the highly special currents re-
quired to carry q radiophone mes
sage. These bulbs are made of spe-
cial glass which will not melt when
subjected to high temperature and
other difficult conditions of opera
ton. Inside the bulb, from which
practically all the air must be care
fully removed, are placed appro-
pirate metal parts.
One of these is the brightly glow
ing tilament, somewhat as in an or
binary tungsten lamp. Another is
plate Of some special metal, usually
tungsten or nickel. A third metal
part, known as the grid, may be
placed in the tube. Or else, to &C
complish similar results in diff
ferent way, third metal part may
be fastened outside the tube. These
lamps, which in their way are as
wonderful as the one used by Alao-
din to evoke the genie, are capable
of taking the faintest electric cur
rents and "amplifying" or increas-
ing their effect until hundreds or
thousands Of horsepower is con-
trolled by the voice Of the speaker.
These bulbs are also capable Of pro-
ducing currents that alternate or
reverse millions Of times in sec
ond. In a small form they are used
for receiving the signals as we'll.
Discovered by Edison
The original effect on which these
bulbs are based was discovered by
Edison, but they were first success
fully applied in basic and funda-
mental way to radio te1egraphy by
Professor Fleming, the eminent Eng
fish electrical engineer. Substantial
Improvements have been made in
these bulbs by DR.. de Forest, the
American inventor; DR.. Langmuir,
Of the research laboratory of the
General Electric Company, and Mr..
Roy A. Weagant, of the Radio Cor
poration Of America. America can
we'll be proud Of the share her scien-
lists and engineers have played in
the development Of this remarkable
device--the vacuum tube amplifier,
oscillator and modulator.
When one Of these bulbs does not
supply sufficient power to telephone
by radio the desired distance, num-
Der Of them may be connected up
to work together successfully.
Nearly five years ago the writer
used radiophone set employing
these bulbs. A dozen Of these large
radio lamps" were used to gem
crate several horsepower, which was
then sent out from the aerial wire
system stretched over the buildings
of tho College Of the City Of New
York. This set enabled the writer
to telephone by radio to Schenec-
tady, 100 miles distant, at almost
any time.
Interesting work along these lines

and answer, that all is going we'll.
Or he can call up the other side
OF the ocean, personally arrang.
for accommodations and even
make his business appointments
and outline matters he wishes to
talk over when he arrives.
If, as now seems likely, the radio
telephone is used to considerable
extent on the better through
trains, the railroad trip will be
much less of loss Of time than it
is at present. The traveller on the
future Pullman, equipped with its
radio telephone set. will be in per-
sonal contact with any point in the
country which he desires TO reach.
Little Equipment Needed
In fact, if a passenger on the
Twentieth Century Limited de-
sres to speak by telephone direct
to a passenger on the Mauretania
IN mldocean, or to a business asso-
ciate in Madrid, it is quite within
the bounds of possibility that he
will be able to do so.
The man who does not want to be
reached by those who want to speak
to him will not have much chance
in the future. AS soon as he ap-
proaches any telephone booth or en-
ters his office or home, he is at one
end of wire the other end of
which reaches practically any i'm

mas Deen carried on by the united
States Navy and the Western Elec-
trio Company. Not only were long
distance tests carried out, but ex-
cellent radio telephone communica
ton with airplanes and over short
distances for military purposes was
achieved.
Early Experiments
The equipment used by the Eng
lish Marconi Company to telephone
across the Atlantic recently was
very similar in nature and operation
to that used BY the writer and men,
toned above. 1t also consists of a
number of appropriate bulbs, acting
together and producing the "modu-
lated aerial current" needed for this
purpose. In the writer's earlier ex-
perments it was found possible to
talk by radio telephone from points
quite distant from the laboratory.
For example, speaking from resi-
dence seven miles away from the
laboratory it was possible to trans
fer every word spoken automatical-
~ to the radio telephone and send
1t out to the desired destination.
This was quite along the lines men
toned above.
Efficient radio telephone service in
America requires two things: Mas
terry OF the art in America and prop
er working arrangements with COM
petent foreign radio companies. For
tunately, both of these conditions
have been met.
Quite recently, the General Elec-
trio Company and the Marconi Wire
less Telegraph Company Of America
concluded arrangements whereby
their radio interests in the future
will be handled by. great all-Amer-
lcan company, the Radio CORPORA
ton Of America. Suitable WORKING
arrangements also have been made
between the Radio Corporation and
the English Marconi Company and
its associated companies. Control
ling, as it does, practically all the
high-power stations In the United
States with the exception of those
belonging to the United States
Navy, with American engineers and
capital back of it, and strongly for
titled by suitable arrangements with
It's foreign correspondents, the Radio
Corporation Of America will unoues-
tionably maintain the present high
standing of radio in the United
States and insure our future pres
tige and. standing.
Controlled by the delicate voice
currents, such machines as the pow
erful Alexanderson "alternator" will
carry the spoken word over land
and sea. The beneficial influence of
this triumph Of science will be felt
in many different ways. The speed
ing up of business and production,
the ready correspondence with our
friends in time of emergency. the
simplification of foreign affairs in
diplomacy and the safety of life at
sea will be but few Of the great
results Of radio telephony in tho
future. AS communication advances
the world shrinks and dwellers in
far distant lands become our next
door neighbors.

What Does America Think?
What is the alien to think? What
are we to think about immigration?
Beyond opening the doors and, let
ting the immigrant in and forgetting
him until it is time to expel him,
America is officially silent or chaotic
in its idea of immigration. In gen.
eral 10 is known what labor thinks
and what capital thinks; what the
restrictionist and anti-restrictionist
think; what this lobbyist or that
lobbyist thinks; what this or that
society recommends. But what does
America, officially and in it's ma
jority public opinion, think? Who
speaks for America at home? Is it

There are two nationwide move
ments In America and many of our
good CITIZENS are in both. One is
Americanization, as shown by the
holding OF Loyalty Week, the regis
tration of fire underwriters to con-
duct local work, the establishment
of an Americanization division Of
the American Legion, the installa-
ton Of AUGMENTATION lecture
courses in our colleges, the activi-
ties of hundreds Of religious and
social service groups, and the school
house activities of an increasing
number of public school superin
tcndents.
The other is the antagonism to
the immigrant expressed in pro-
posed public legislation that will in
crease many fold the difficulties Of
aliens living in America. These are
both state and Federal. ''To deport
and expel" is one of the commone,t
phrases in such bills. If all the pro-
posed laws were passed there would
not be enough ships for deportations
and voluntary departures. One man
estimates that it would take 10000
Bufords and with our present ship
ping facilities period of more than
tive years. Incidentally, it would
deprive the country of half Of it's
unskilled labor.
When immigrants want to 90
back to their homelands thew must
go through almost endless formal
ties in obtaining permits and vises
OF passports. When they want to
come to America they must paw a
poll tax in this country of SO. Now
comes an Administration measure to
charge fee Of 50 for each wise Of
the passport and 81 for each appli
cation for wise, the fees to be col
lected by the American consulate at
the port where the immigrant EN-.
harks for this country.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-04-04
Means a Large Sum

Thus it Is proposed to make the
immigrant pay S18 in fees to the
United States government. For
some OF the races on which America
depends for labor this means large
sum OF money at the present rate of
exchange. The Polish and old Aus
tro-Hungarian peoples would have
TO pay $500 kronen, or nearly
twenty times as much as the imrni-
grant used to pay for his passage
TO the United States before the war
II to that amount be added the
transportation fees charged at the
present time the immigrant from
Poland or Lithuania or the palt;c
provinces would have to pay bstween
$4,000 to 100000 kroncn. or the
equivalent Of 1893 to-day. For this
amount Of money a man can b,v
home or a farm in Poland or other
countries of Europe.
What Is the immigrant to think
Who in the morning Is invited to
learn English and become a citizen
and In the evening newspaper il
called "Red" and told to get back
home; who in the morning is asked
20 take out his first papers and in
the evening learns that citizenship
means nothing to him in his home
country; who at 8 a. m. is urged
20 Join the night school and at 0
p. m. finds the teacher who does not
know how TO teach him? One dav
ne is told by the United States gov
eminent that az an alien he can be

tries overseas, and on another dav

Director Of tho Radio Laboratory
College Of the City Of Nea0 York

"HE recent announcement by
Senatore Marconi that we
IL may shortly expect to tele-
phone by radio across the
Atlantic and that regular service
will be available is both startling
and encouraging. 1t is clear, for
example, that in the comparatively
near future the presidentr of any
large corporation will be able, from
his desk in any town in the United
States, to telephone to the managers
Of his branch Offices in distant
countries. In effect, London, Rome,
Paris, Toxic, Cape Town and
Buenos Ayres will be as much with
in his immediate reach as his next
door neighbor.
This revolutionary step forward
in communication marks the begin
ming of a new era. From the days
when fast runners laboriously car
ried messages over moderate dis
tances to fall exhausted at the end
of their trying trip, communication
has never been quite capable of
meeting all the demands on it. The
loss Of time in getting word to the
other man is more of brake on eff
Gent business than almost any other
single factor; but there has been ire
mendous progress made and more is
expected in the near future. AL
ready it is possible to send radio
messages from the United States to
Hawaii and Japan on the one hand
and to England, France, Italy and
Norway on the other.
The great stations now in exist
ence in the United States, or planned
for the immediate future, will ex-
tend this range Of communication
until telegraph messages can be sent
speedily to any corner Of the world.

The trouble with Amcricanizatioj
is that the distance between preaciI
ing and practice is SC great that til
alien cannot span it. America
still regard it too much as a pastinl
when they approach it as Gifted
or as a Solemn duty with !

tages. The outlook is hopeful, hoj
ever, and increasingly men are ss&
ing more fundamental methods.
Does America want the immignI
here? Let it say so in laws 3

instead of contenting ourselves vi
an instrument full of negatives a,
evasions and compromises.
Does America want the immgn.
to become a citizen? Let it

abolish the old dead wood of techr 4
calities that impose hardships tha
have no value to-day in promotls

Does America want him to stu

Americans can well take some
the time spent in knocking Amy
