WIRELESS WONDERS
NOW MADE PUBLIC

Between 1913 and 1920 enormous
advances were made in the e:ti-
cheney Of wireless telegraphy and
telephony. This is known in a gen
eral way. says Colonel Chetwode
Crawley. in Chambers Journal, but
details were much screened by the
secrecy of war. Less power ana
higher speed of transmission: these
are the two new results. How have
they been achieved? The public is
lust now learning the facts.
1t is the use of a new means alto
gether of procuring wireless waves.
The apparatus now proposed is called
the three electrode thermionic valve,
an imposing and formidable name
for a piece of apparatus which con-
sists essentially of a vacuum bulb,
similar to an electric-light lamp, but
with two other metal elements in
side the bulb in addition to the fila
ment. The whole romance of wire
less during the war is wrapped up IN
the development of this little piece
of apparatus for transmitting and re-
ceiving messages.
At the outbreak of war the valve,
as a receiver, was just beginning to-
emerge from the experimental stage,
but as transmitter it had only en-
tered that stage, and was not in ex-
tensive use as such for the first few
years.
For receiving purposes it came into.
prominent use when the French,
early in the war followed quickly by
ourselves, used it for reading enemy
messages sent by their land lines to
the front-line trenches.
The Germans soon followed suit,
and much surprise was expressed at
the time as to the intimate knowl-
edge which the enemy possessed of
our movements in the front line, SIM
liar surprise as regards our knowl
edge of the enemy's movements being
no doubt just as prevalent in Ger
many.
The fact is that the valve can be
used not only as most sensitive de-
tector Of wireless waves, but also as
most efficient sound -magnifier
when coupled up with suitable cir
cults.
Zone hundred words a minute is
quite practical proposition. Much
greater speeds have been demon
strated eXperimentally. Ocean liners
now have this valve transmission and
can send messages up to 1900 miles,
a distance double that obtained in
1913.
In the United States, however dur
ing the early stages of the war, more
time was available for experiments
in long distance wireless telephony,
and spoken messages from a station
near Washington We're read in Paris,
a distance Of about 1900 miles. and
sometimes even in Honolulu. about
5000 miles away.
No such long-distance telephony,
however, is yet in practical opera
ton.
Direction finding also depends on
this new valve.
For this purpose the circuits at
receiving station are arranged so
that, on signals from any station
being heard, the direction of the sta
ton is at once known. and. il re-
quired, the exact position can be
found by plotting It's directions from
two or more receiving stations. This
arrangement was used extensively by
US in the war especially for locating
the positions of enemy Submarines

JUST A TOUCH OF SPRING
Washburn ED and COED" Re
veal Hiding Place When In
ruders Suggest Dive Into Classic
Shunganunga.
BY LOIS ROBINETTE.
Hike and the world hikes with you,
Ride and you ride alone.

Springtime, the rolling campus, with
it's pine trees and dog-tooth violets
and the shady banks of the Shunga-
nunga make a stronger appeal to the
Eds and Co-eds of Washburn than
even trig and history. Just as in
Noah's day, when the animals came
in two by two" one sees Washburnites
on every hand strolling, or resting in
some secluded spot.
One day last week when everything
fairly shouted Spring is here!" (be-
fore the last installment of winter
arrived) one of the younger profs and
the manager of the Review" donned
their hiking toges and Jared forth.
With no definite goal in mind, they
struck out cross country, thru farm
yards and cornfields, ending as most
mixers generally do with the woods
along the creek.
Tramping thru the tangled under
brush. tearing under barbed wire
fences and crossing and recrossing the
Shunganunga, they drank in the beau
ties of nature.
All of sudden, as tho directed by
some telepathic power, their gaze fell
on Ed and Coed seated close apart on
a log, partly hidden by some bushes.
They sat there. hardly daring to
breathe for fear Of being observed by
the interlopers on their little Para
disc.
But the Prof and his companion.

recalling similar incidents not so
very far removed in their own lives,
apparently saw nothing but the log
and bushes.
Hating their steps on the creek
bank. not ten feet away from the in
visible couple, the Prof exclaimed,
My, but isn't it a wonder day! Spring
is certainly here. Just listen to those
birdsi And look at that water-so

His companion heartily agreed with
him.
Off came their shoes ana socks,

by coats and vests, and just as the
last buttons of the shirts were undone

AUTOMOBILE USE
GROWING SAFER
Figures Show a Proportionate
Reduction in Number of
Fatalities.

Automobile use is growing constant
ly safer. Official figures show n steady
decline I'm the ratio Of fatalities TO tho
number OF cars I'm operation. Automo-
biie deaths per car were .o025 in 1914.
and have becn reduced To .00l3 in 1919.
Figures for the year 1920 in Detroit
and Now York City show that the for
iner city registered one less fatality due
TO automobiles than in 1919. and New
York's toll was Fl less than the 1919
mark.
The reduction of so per cent in Ave
years in the ratio Of fatalities to the
number OF cars shows that the public is
quickly adapting itself TO the problems
OF congestion. and continued progress
In motor safety Is confidently looked for

ever. that the actual numerical increase
in car fatalities nationally presents n
situation which calls for further strenu-
GUS effort I'm the minimizing Of hazard.

and regulations against overlooking are
among the measures which the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce will
advocate with increased vigor during
the coming year. The n. A. c. C. in

But when he had put them all out,
