In response to Mr.. Gernsback's let

TO prevent the indiscrimlnate use OF
any amateur stations for service Oh
this kind. 1t is to arrahse
some satisfactory plan Tor the anna
tours. At present the following plans
are under consideration: First, au-
thorizing amateurs desiring the
broadcast. if such broadcasting IS OF
public benefit. to use the wave length
OF 200 meters at certain specliled
times, so as not to interfere with the
existing amateur radio telegraph
service; second, to all amateurs to
broadcast, only on ITS or 225 meters,
leaving the z00-meter wave length
open to regular communication serV-
ice. If it is decided to authorize
broadcasting on IT'S meters this au-
thority can be included in their pres
ent regular amateur station licenses.
Ii 225 meters is authorized special
amateur station licenses will be nee
essary.
The situation now seems to rest on
the point of whether the Department
of Commerce can legally restrict the
use Of amateur stations for broad
casting while legislation to that effect
is only being considered, and how
long will their stations be thus re-
strictcd pending the enactment OF the

Virginia Wool Growers
Enthusiastic Over Pooling

At the Annual Meeting o. the Vlr-
ginia Cooperative Sheep and Wool
growers Association just held IN
Lynchburg, the benefits OF pooling
wool, from the activities of the Assoc
iation thus far, were seen to be so
great that the growers expect TO inn
mcnseiy increase pooling and continue
methods OF grading and selling their
products.
1t was showed that by the method
of pooling and grading, growers were
getting on an average Of three cents
per pound for their wool more than
by selling in the usal old way, while
IN some instances they got as much as
6l2 cents per pound more.
Suitable resolutions recognizing
the work of the County Agents, d.
vision OF Markets OF the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and Extension
Division OIL the State Agricultural
College, as being absolutely necessary,
were adopted. Particularly did the
Association resent the proposal BY
the joint committee Of the General AS
semp!y to practically eliminate Coun-
ty Agent work in Virginia, since these
men have proved their great value to
the farmers and public.
George L. Wllnngmyrc, Specialist
in Marketing Wool, and G. Nagcl, In
vestigator in Warehousing, both OF
the y. 5. Bureau Of Markets, were i'll
attendance and gave some very help
full advice about the activities Of the
Association. They expressed salts
faction Of progress OF the Association.
and assured those present Of such as
sistancc as they will be able TO render
in furthering the activities OF this
organization.
The Association vii! make arrange
storing all the wool put in its care
during the coming season, so that the
growers who pool their WOO! this year
will be able to get large part OF the
value o. j. when it is received By the
Association.

amateurs, said to-day the recent rullnS
OF the department OF Commerce
which prohibits amateurs from broad.
casting has brought forth volume OF
protest from the members OF ms or
ganlZation who claim that the art and
great industry in which they nave
Deen largely instrumental III develop
ing, will, unless more liberal leglsla-
ton is afforded them, be greatly re-
lardcd.
AS early as 1908 Mr.. Gernsback
had foretold fine need Of satlstac-
tory wireless legislation. In an ar
ticlc in Modern ElcctrIcs in Novcm-
Der OF that year he pointed out that
Il wireless law wa ssurc to be enacted
within q short time and that then was
the proper time for the amateur OPP
orators to promulgate a law that
would be satisfactory in the future.
For this purpose, as well as Tor the
oil the amateurs interests,
the Wireless Association Of America
was organized and later went on the
record as being in favor OF wireless
Legislation that would further the de-
velopment of the art and industry
through gcncralizing its uses.
Soon aItcr the famous Roberts bill
was introduced. This bill was being
advanced by the now defunct wire
loss trust" Through the efforts of
Mr.. Gernsback, as head of the Wire
less Association of America, its S,OOO
members registered protests against
this bill which wa splanned to curb
the activities of radio amateurs, who
even then were taking firm hold Of
the art. At Mr.. Ge-nsback's instance
several representatives were sent to
WASHINGTON to fight the passage OF
the measure, which they did with no
little effort. If the bill had become
a law it would have sealed the doom
of the amateur, and radio telephony
in general. since the amateur has
been largely instrumental in develop
ing it 10 it's present stage of popu-
lority and usefulness.
Mr.. Gernsback's article in 1910
suggesting various measures of rcgu-
lat;ons 10 rwireless operators, was
received by the pres sas the first con-
s3ructive matter published and as
such received its support.
Mir .Cernsback has again been on
his feet to ward off unsatisfactory
rulings against radio amateurs.
On January 10 he received from
Arthur Batcheller, u. S. Radio In
spector of the New York district,

VETERANS BUREAU

Words has just been received by
officials Of the Veterans bureau mere
of the release from MoundsYll!e OF a
disabled former service man VINO was
serving eight years for dangerous as
sault upon war Stacker. Inc 1or-
mer soldier, whose name has oeen
withheld, has been returned to the
custody of his mother, near Wheellng'
West Virginia, where he has been
given employment by local firm.
This case is one OF several inter-
esting ones Strengthened out IN the
recent cleanup campaign conducted
by the Veterans Bureau. The man
spoken of was found in the Mounds
vile Penitentiary suffering from
disability received in the war. tie had
served nearly two years OF his sell
tence.
Under instructions from the Fourth
District OF the Veterans Bureau an
InvesrlgaUlon Of the case was made
and IL was found that the soldier had
n widowed moUner and widowed
sister at nome normally dependent
upon hun and further he had been
tainted py the alleged Stacker Tor
having served in the war and been
wounusd. The trial judge was appeal
ed to and recommended pardon,
which has since been secured. The
Stacker has since recovered from his
injuries.
Another interesting case that has
recently come TO the attention OF the
bureau is that or Il Greek restaurant
keeper, war hero, Of Norfolk, W.
CANA. FOR nearly three years this
man, whose name is Hercules korgls,
had tailed to apply Tor compensation
Tor wound III mis- neck resulting
from a machine gun bullet. korgls
was Sergeant in / Company OF the
23rd Infantry. For number OF
months he tod friends America had
been good enough to him, but finally
ne was induced TO 60 before the clean
UP squad in Norfolk, where he was
gwen a rating OF ten per cent dating
back to discharge. His accrued COM
pensation amounted to approximately
three hundred dollars.
Sergeant Norgis had received two
citations during the war. 1T one ile
was commended for leading patrol
that was surprised by two machine
guns. lie kept part OF the patrol tlr-
ing from ambush and with the rest
lanked the machine guns, attacking
with hand grenadcs and took both
crews prisoners.
The second citation point
ed out that nc went to the rescue OF
section OF an attacking party that had
been demoralized, exposing himself
voluntarily to fire, and led them safe
~ to cover where he re-organlzcd
them and resumed the attack, contri-
buting materially to the later sue
ces OF the entire attacking party.
The most amusing incident OF the
cleanup drive was when West Vlr-
ginia hillsman came into the Office OF
the Veterans Bureau and begged
Manager Allen rot to educate his son
Holly Erwin.
"My boy is always been good boy"
pleaded the elder Erwin please don't
give him no learning and make him
turn bad" -..
