MARC0NI REALLY
FATHER OF RADIO
Story of the Gifted Italians
Work In Development of Air
Communication.

While experiments along the line
OF radio really started as far back as
1877 and hundreds of scientists were
interested in solving the problems in
volved for many years, 1t was not I'M
til 1896 when Senatore Guglielmo
Marconi took out his first patent that
the mastery of air communication got
Its first great impetus. His life his
tory is to all practical intents the his
tory of radio communication.
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, G. C.
V. o., L. L. D., Disc. NJ. I. Z. E., was
born in Bologna, Italy, April 25, 1874.
His mother was Irish, while his father
was Of a family whose mechanical
ability was marked. After an edu-
cation at Leghorn and Bologna, the
young man interested himself in the
problem Of wireless telegraphy, start
ing his research in 1895. He went to
England and in 1896 took out the first
patent ever granted for a practical
system Of wireless telegraphy, by the
use Of electric waves. His early ex-
periments in England were made at
Westbourne Park. Shortly afterward
Marconi saw w. II. Preece and
at his request made some experiments
for officials of the postoffice. Some
further experiments were made in
May, 1897, in the Bristol channel,
wireless communication being estab-
lished between Lavernock and Brean
Down, a distance Of nine miles.
On the invitation of the italian
government Marconi afterward went
to Spezia where land station was
erected, which was kept in constant
communication with two Italian bat
tleships working from distance Of
II miles. For this success the Ital-
ian government conferred upon Mar
conf the honor of knighthood. After
return to England further expert
ments were conducted and on July 20,
1897. the first radio company was
formed and two permanent stations
erected. In 1898 wireless reports of
yacht races in Kingston were made
and proved the usefulness and adapt
ability to which the system lends IT.

Blanton of Texas Unpopular in House

THOMAS BLANTON, Democratic
Z representative from Texas, does
not seem to be exactly popular with
either side Of the house. Representa-
tive Garner, Democrat, Of Texas, de-
clared in the house the other day that
If permitted by the rules to speak what
was in the minds of 434 of the 43o
house members he would say that
Representative Blanton Of that state
"is a disgrace to this house and ought
to be kicked out"
At the ouset of his speech Garner
said that in this world there "are all
kinds Of liars. the artistic liar, the
inartistic liar and the common liar."
Representative Blanton, sitting a
few feet away jumped to his feet and
exclaimed: "And l will hold you per-
sonally responsible If you call me a
liar"
Garner did not notice the inter-
ruption, but Representative Summers,
also of Texas, sitting nearby jumped
TO his feet and shouted 'liar" at Mr..
Blanton, at the same time starting in
his direction.
1t was at this point that the SER
geant-at-arms rushed in and Blanton
retired from the chamber. Then there
came from the Democratic side Of the
chamber q cry of throw him out"

"Well, it was too much for that lit

land murders. the blowing up Of fac

trying to turn the United States into a
German settlement, trying to get
Japan and Mexico to make war on US,
and all the rest. He even made her
admit there was proof they mean to
conquer US when they get through with
the others, and that they've set out to
rule the world for their own benefit,
and make whoever else they kindly
allow to live. work for them.
"She said 1t. might be true, but since
nothing at all could be right cause
for war, then all this couldn't be q
cause for war. OF course she had her
regular pacifist logic working; she
said that since war Is the worst thing
there is, why, all other evils were
lesser, and lesser evil can't be just
cause for q greater. She got terribly
excited, they say, but kept right on,
anyway. She said war was murder
and there couldn't be any other way to
look at it; and she'd heard there was
already talk in the university Of stu
dents thinking about enlisting, and
whoever did such thing was virtual
ly enlisting to return murder for muir

she meant that she'd feel toward any
student that enlisted the way she
would toward q murderer, and she
said, yes, she'd have horror Of any
student that enlisted.
"Well, that broke up the class; Joe
turned from her to the platform and
told old Burney that he was RESPONSE
bic for allowing such talk in his lecture
room, and Joe said so far as he was
concerned, he resigned from Burney's
classes right there. That started 1t,

Until the middle Of the Seventeenth
century q familiar figure at Virginia
church door on .;unday morning was
the county sheriff. The law requiring
attendance at divine worship was of
great assistance TO him. 1t rounded
up the planters and small farmers
from remote corners and enabled him
with a minimum of effort to serve
writs, warrants, summonses, execu-
tions and similar official papers.
This practical method disturbed the
planters who did not fancy official in
trusion on such an occasion. So, In
1868, they passed a law prohibiting
the service Of official papers on Sun
day, at the parish church or elsewhere,
and the sheriff was sent off on his
web Of trails the other six days to do
as we'll as he might.

Approximate figures are reported
from various states and centers In
dicating the present number of radio
sets. According to A. L. Benson Of
ST. Louis, division manager Of the
American Radio Relay league, about
10000 radiophones are used in four
states as follows: Iowa, $4,000; Mis-
souri,, 25,0O0; Nebraska. $4,000;
Kansas, 10000. In st. Louis alone
there are some 2,2OO. The radiophones
chiefly carry concert music, but in
many localities farmers have installed
them to receive market reports.
Correspondence from Texas reports
263 stations in Dallas, ranging in size
from Il X. w. to 20 watts, and almost
equal numbers in other cities Of the
state.
Cleveland. Ohio, reports probably 10
600 radio enthusiasts, 1000 sending
stations in greater Cleveland, virtually
all amateur, and 10000 receiving sets
used almost nightly. These estimates
exclude commercial sets. Cincinnati
, reports 800 sets.
Indiana has $500 amateur radio sets
md Indianapolis 1000 radiophones.
Wisconsin has nearly 1.5O0 stations,
and the number Is said by Malcomb P.
