BOYS AND GIRLS
ON FARMS FORM
WIRELESS CLUBS

What is the wave length? How
is the meditation?
Farm boys and girls have new
language nowadays; and new in
terest The radio has intrigued
them. The pig club and the calf
club is being supplemented by the
radio club.
! Everywhere the farm sky is WOW
en- with wireless antennae. Wher-
ever farm boys and girls get to-
gether will be found both sending
and receiving instruments. The
ether is a huge lake filed with mu-
sic and news, and the fishing is
| fine.
The first Farmrad club to be or
ganiZed was in Ocean county, N. J.
! Here a group of boys interested in
! wireless pooled their radio knowI-
( edge and resources for the purpose
/ of receiving news reports on agri-
culture and general topics and re-
/ laying the messages by telephone
! and messenger to farmers and 9TH
! ers in rural districts.
! Thi organization, known as the
! Ocean Country Radio club, has be-
come extremely popular.
! The success of the organization
has given impetus to the forma-
ton of Farmrad clubs in other sec
/ tons of the country and many
state agricultural colleges have be-
come interested in the work.
The method of organization is to
get the boys and girls first to read
all available literature on wire

receiving messages on short wave

the more difficult phases of the art.

Common Use of Wireless Destined
TO Create Amy Number of "Radio
Ron1eos" in Ethereal Loue-naking

Girls, one of the latest and unique
accomplishments in the radio
world today, is love-making by ra-
dio. Radio enters in the role of
cupid and makes it possible for
girls all over the country, accord
ing to the latest reports, to send
kisses and messages of love to
their dear ones at distant points.
The fair wireless amateur sending
her fond regards to him" within
a radius of hundreds of miles finds
it inexpensive-and lots of fun, be-
cause it gets away from the usual
routine of music or commercial
reports.
The only thing is-a radio kiss
lavished upon her lover-can also
be received by hundreds of others
who may be listening in" But
how could others enjoy a kiss if
it were not intended for them?
The chances are they would receive
the so-called kiss as plainly or just
as well but with not the same
kick" as the real Romeo"
SStatiOn LUV.7
Quivering of the lips would be
as evident in the features of "Ra-
do Romeo" as alertness of the ear.

RADIO TALK MAY
BECOME PRIVATE
AS LINE PHONE

Talking by radio may become as
private as talking by line tele-
phone
Earl c. karker, instructor at the
University of Rochester, says it is
possible. He has already worked
out a method of guiding short wave
lengths.
Scientists are trying further to
give radio waves a sense of direc-
ton that will keep hit-and-miss
radiation oIt of the air. If they
succeed, private radio conversation
will be possible.
Radio transmission" says Kar-
ker, even at best is still a very in
efficient system of communication
because it lacks directional proper
ties. Radiation occurs practically
in all directions.
Someone soon will undoubtedly
evolve a means of directing these
waves in a beam similar to the eff
feet produced by using a reflector
with source of light By this
means. the entire energy of the
light may be directed without great
decrease in intensity in a given di-
rection for a considerable distance.
Radio transmission by such a
device will be accomplished with
much less expenditure of energy.
"Antennae are directional to
some extent But nothing much
has yet been done in the way OF
rejecting radio waves. OF caurse,
the magnitude of the reflector
would have to be enormous if we
keep on using the same wave
lengths that we use now.
But may it not become possible
by the use of a reflector to pro-
duce sufficient radiation in a given
direction at a much shorter wave
lengths
One can now reflect short radio
wares by merely placing a metal
lie reflector behind them. have

Circuit-The complete path of an
electric current, including the gen
Grating device and all points
through which the current passes.
If the path is complete and unin-
terrupted, the circuit is called a
closed circuit When the contin-
uity of the circuit is broken so
that the current no longer can
pass, it is called an open or bro
ken circuit.
Open Circuit-The aerial, or pri-
mary, circuit of a radio set which
is not directly connected. except
by induction, to the secondary or
closed circuit. Completion of the
open circuit is made by grounding

Washington, April 29.-Radio COM
munication with ships at sea with
out the use of aerials may soon be
accomplished.
This advancement is suggested
by government and private wire
less experts here who have been
working to simplify radio transmit
ting and receiving apparatus.
/ That it is a possibility has been
j demonstrated at recent tests made
by Major General George o. Squier,
in charge of the United States army
air service. At these experiments,
General Squier showed he could
receive radio signals over land
without using any antenna.
Instead of catching the wireless
waves by means of special aerial,
General Squier attached the radio
receiving set to an electric light
line. The land line acted as his
aerial.
In the same way, experts here
suggest there is a possibility of
sending and receiving radio mes
sages over sea with no antenna to
transmit or receive them. In fact,
progress has already been made
toward eliminating ship antennae.
A few years ago, submarines
were handicapped by the clumsy
masts and wires they had to carry
for their antennae. In submerging.
