Boys OF the United Statse make the
best wireless telegraph operators. In
the world. In no other country .bez
sides does the average boy knew so
much about wireless or take so keen
an interest in it, Before the war the
United States contained $4,000 WIFE
less stations, large ana small scat
tered throughout every section or the
land. The most of these were ANA :
tsur wireless stations-huii and op-
+erated entirely by boys No country
in Europe has anything like as many
stations
During the war 1t became neces-
sary for the government TO close NEST
OF these wireless stations and regu-
late the others very rigidiy to prevent
any enemy using them for his own
ends. Now that the war is happily
over. the government has removed
these restrictions. and any American
boy is free once more to- equip and
operate a station Of his own The
interest in wireless biography is re-
Fvtving by leaps and bounds. and in a
short time 1--WE will see more wireless
sta tons In operation than ever before.

from Moscow where. she said. she
