new WONDERS seen
IN RADIO BY EXPERT
steinmetz Says Some Waves
Might Travel More Easily
Through Ground.
BY the Associated Press.


SCHENECTADY, N. Y, March IL
Under certain conditions. radio waves
might travel more easily through the
ground or the waters of the sea than
through the air, it was said today by
DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz. chief con-
sulting engineer for the General
Electric Company.
He said he considered well-founded
the supposition that recent perform
ances of low-power radio sending
apparatus in transmitting messages
to surprising distances gave an in
dication that the ,radiations peculiar
to wireless transmission pass with
equal ease through the earth as
through the ether.
Such radiations, he said. would be
in accord with accepted electrical
laws. as the ground, to which both
the sending attenae and receiving set
are connected, would act as a return
circuit for the current. In like man
ner, ho pointed out, water might
serve as a medium for radio CONVEX
sations between ships or between
ships and land.
Wireless telephony, it was said by
associates of DR.. Steinmetz today. had
been revolutionized by the successful
performances of the duplex trans
mitters, completed early this week.
when conversations were held between
New York and passengers aboard the
steamer America, at the time dis
tance of $50 miles at sea.
The duplex telephone enables land
lines to be linked in with the radio.
so that one might talk over his own
home telephone to persons far at sea.
Heretofore such a link was imprac-
ticable because it was necessary to
turn switch from "send" to re
ceive' in the radio apparatus each
time the speaker became the listener.

Colored French Ratines

4 WHOLE chapter might be devoted to
u these eponge or ratines which have come
I : to us as the favored fabric of French
fashion-and it is not too much to say that it
is the important item in the making of frocks
with capes to match. Naturally, this heavier
fabric permits only of very simple treatment,
and drawnwork is its chief decoration. Chemise
lines are followed associated with the low round
neck and very short sleeves-some ,frocks even
sleeveless-and its array of colorings bring
becoming shade to every type-among these
are primrose pink, old rose, wistaria, orchid,
tile blue and wood brown. SO inches wide.
Priced $1.z5 yard.

OCCUPIED GERMANY HIT
!, BY BIG BUILDING BOOM
Large Numbers of French Fam
flies Migrate Into Rhineland
Against Protest of Natives.

By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1922.
BERLIN. March 1O.-Occupied Ger
many. and especially the French
zone. is booming, according to re-
ports form there. Never before in
its: history has so much building been
going on in the smaller cities and
towns on the west bank Of the Rhine.
Whole settlements of French FAM
Iies may be found in Mayence. Lud-
wigshafen. Kreuznach and other
places, and from the appearance If
the buildings the French have put up
they intend to stay for good. Many
thousands CT married Frenchmen,
who have no connection with the
forces of occupation. have emigrated
to the Rhineland from all parts of
France.
Instead of Germans going to
France to rebuild the devastated
areas the French have come to Ger
many. as if the Rhinelands already
were French colonies" says the Ber-
lin Lokal Anzeiger. France will not
permit German working men to help
in building up the destroyed towns
because she fears trade espionage.
But Frenchmen, by the hunoi eus are
coming to Germany. and many of
them are trade spies. But we are
helpless and cannot stop them. Nor
can we prevent them from buying up
our food and goods and smuggling
them into France"

sas,iP TO SHORE RADIO AND TELE'
v PHONE SERVICE POPULAR.

Ever since the practicability of radio
and telephone service has been estap-
lished from ship on the high seas 10
an inland home, this form Of communi-
cation has developed into fad. 1t is
quite a common thing now to listen IN
to a conversation between some one In
hotel talking by telephone to some
friend racing along on ship at twenty
Knots, a thousand miles at sea.
&rhe FIRST successful attempt to use this
novel method of communication ives
tried out between the s. s. America sew
erai hundred miles off the coast, and It's
home office in New York. From the Of
fee OF the General Manager OF the line
an ordinary telephone call was made TO
q powerful broadcasting- station at Deal
Beach, ". j., where the voice OF the
General Manager was amplihed and
transmitted by radio to the ship receiv-
ing set and thence by the ships tele-
phone to the Captains cabin. A duplex
system was used and a two-way conVer-
sation was carried on. The reception OF
the Captains answers was through an
other receiving station further up the
coast and back to the New York once
in the same manner as the outgoing
speech.
big hotels are planning for equipment
that will enable their guests to hold
radio conversations with ships at sea as
we'll as with friends and business asso-
ciates In distant cities. Large apart
ment houses are also being equipped In
q similar manner.
The success OF radio communication to
and from the Cornell Special is an
-e.her step forward. and it will not be
z before a passenger on an eastbound
liner will be able to talk to his wife
who is speeding back to Middle West
town, after seeing him on for Europe.
