RADIO DEPARTMENT
Wherein Followers of Wireless May Have Their Say

T..
HEARS WITHOUT ANTENNAE.
l.. ID. Geno of Proctor Picks Up Stations
1000 Miles Distant.

PROCTOR, Dec. lift the investi-
CATION of experts backs up what L. ID.
Geno of this town claims about his radio
phone receiver, the use of antennae, out
side wires or inside receiving loops, can
be dispensed with.
Radio by ground induction only is
what Mr.. Geno. claims for his hook
up" which is d form of Armstrong su.
per-regenerative circuit, but without ap-
tenna or visible loops.
Stations 1000 miles distant have been
heard clearly on this set, he claims, the
signals coming in very clear, with no
static" or air noises. and sound waves
from Havana, Cuba. Costa Rica and al
most all American broadcasting stations
east of the Mississippi have been per-
fectly reproduced.
Mr.. Geno states positively that he
uses nothing IN place of antennae, no
loog, no bedspring, no row of iron dish
rags" Just connection with the ground
and a two-tube outfit of which only one
tube is used ordinarily. \ radiometer
and 43-plate condenser provide the tun-
ing adjustments, which, in the Arm
strong type of receiver, is about 1000
times as sensitive as the ordinary receiv-
ing set.
the Armstrong type of hook-up, so Mr..
Geno saws. but whether patentable or
not he does not say until the Armstrong
patents hnvo been looked up.
The Armstrong sets operate readily
with a small inside wire loop, about two
feet square. but if Mr.. Geno's claim Is
borne out by investigation he has gone
a step further than Armstrong and elm
mated the loop entirely.

state Although programs have been
regularly sent from this station for the

NEW YORK, April 3.--The ride
ulously short odds being offered
and takcn--on Norwich for the Ken
lucky derby would seem TO indicate
that someone has n fraycd cuff in
his family closet. To our inadequate
intellect, the business OF playing
a horse alta to in the winter books,
with the hate OF the race almost a
month and half removed, appears
not only like asking for il, but de-
manding IL.
10 Is simply n case of the boys
getting all steamed up over a situl-
tion that may never develop. When,
several days ago, the great colt
streaklcd mile In 1:i5, Benjamin
Block, his owner. made the official
announcement that he meant ca
start Norwich in the derby. lie

| books, the main idea being TO take
advantage of whatever odds pre-
/ vailed in them.
At this time Norwich Is supposed
| TO be q cinch for the Derby. He Is
nothing OF the kind. No horse ever
is with some 40 days and 500 miles
OF precarious travel yet TO bo reck'
oned with.
In the first place, II Is not alto
