! Chattcring Amateurs
Radio IL going to give presidents
/ and prcmiers n simple and accurate
| gauge on the sentiments in their va
rious countries All they will have
/ to do will be TO "listen in" every
night 10 some Of the amateur chat
/ ter, and they will understand what
| the so-called common people really"
/ desire from their governments.
/ There will bc no further need 10 fIl.
| ter these desires through politicians
and parllaments, II Is possible that
| there would have been no world war
| IL some German burghor had had
radio telephone on which he could
/ have felt perfectly safe In calling
| Wilhclmstrassc and telling the kaiser
/ Just how much the German people
did not want to fight the rest OF tho
world.
Some Of the. traditional bumps
| may even be taken from true love s
course by the radio. No matter
( whoro he Is. the lover will be able
personally to send to the lady of his
choice his love and devotion.
Z Frowned on by hostile parents, he
can still rcassure hor of the cteruity
Of his affection. She will be able To
hear his ardent protcstations. though
she sit In the midst Of her family
Is this all fancful? OF course It
Is. But II Is, at the same time, en-
/ tirely within the realms of possihil.
| ity, as the radio\telephono has de-
Voloped. II is possible because Of
the simplicity that is an outstanding
feature Of tho new science. Just as
anybody can buy a wireless set, 20
anybody can use one. A little black
box. n couple Of wires, and you are
IN touch with the known and un-
/ known world. The air you breathe
is full of messages borne to you from
the ends OF the earth and beyond.
To install a receiving set is as easy
as putting n Eraphophone In your
living room. II YOU dwell In New
/ York you must first get permission
from your landlord for the location
OF aerial wires or antonnae on the
roof. You will have to prove to him
that their presence does not Consti-
tute fire hazard, and that they are
an ornament rather than dcsccra-
tion Of the chimney seen
cry. Then go downtown aud buy
your apparatus Remember that
your antcnn1o must be above the
roof, and should, II you put up only
one wire, he from 60 to 100 feet long.
Remember, also. that TO cross a
street in this city with wire per-
mission must be obtained from the
department OF water, gas and cleo
tricity. IL YOU live where you can
construct your wireless station on
your own land, just fasten the aerial
| between your roof and a tree or
pole. 10 should he carefully insu-
lated from all supports
DO not forget Il lead-in wire from
the antennae to your instrument, and
remember to connect the instrument
to the ground by means Of wire
attached to a water pipe. This done,
you are ready TO get ION the air."
Regulate the Traffic"
A sending set Is n bit more compli-
Gated. although American genius In
making IL simpler every day. Just
at present the uninitiated need help
to install one. A license to operate
must be obtained from the govern
| mcnt. The operator has to have
some knowledge of the international
| code, enough to send and receive
/ ten words a minute. He must also
/ understand the theory o. the work
| ing OF his set
With the number OF wireless sets
/ already in use I'm homes, churches,
/ schools and offices i'm the United
| states fast approaching the million
mark; with all sorts OF communica-
tion. varying from the crashing
/ tlUuS- Atlantic wireless telegraph
/ spark TO the amateurs experimental
/ transmission Of music and poetry,
I the ether lanes above MS are bocom.
/ ing as congosted as tho corner Of
/ Fifth avenue and Forty-seCond
/ street. Professionals ana amateurs
| are dinninE at the government to
/ regulate the traffic" Therefore,
/ Secretary Hoover called conference
/ at Washington last week and went
| over the whole subject Committees
| OF experts were appointed TO study
| the situation and find some means Of
| relief.
4 solution IS indicated I'm tho trend
/ of improvements on wireless appa-
ratus being constructed in the lab
! oratories OF the great manufacturing
concerns. Instruments are being
/ made so delicate as to eliminate all
but the messages for which they are
! particularly tuned. II Is said that
eventually man will be able to "he1r
| and talk" Increasing the seleCtivity
of receiving sets in this way will. IL
] ~ nbptu, 40 AWAY Win interference
or congestion to large extent, Anna
teurs will then be able 10 Continu
their fascinating experiments and
bring to the science all that their
| devoted brains and hands can con
tribute The work Of commerce and
government, carried on the pathway,
Of the wind, can also go on undis-
| turbed.
The layman can only stand and
gasp at the progress Of the wireless
Tho radio is finite and at the same
/ time infinite. Restrictions and
regulations are necessary But who
is going 10 draw up the regulations
and how are restrictions TO be en-
forced?
