New York, Jan. 31.-Stocks
drIfted idly during much of today's
session, fluctuations apparently
representing the conflicting views
Of pools and the professional eIe-
ment.
Such issues as American Ice,
Gulf States Steel and Kresge, at
gains of 3h to AZ points were
| the strong features, together with
a few miscellaneous specialties.
Motors, sugars. tobaccos, chemi-
calls, textiles and utilities were un-

extreme losses of one to two and a
half points.
Declaration of the regular divi-
dend on Studebaker was in line
with popular expectations. Consol-
dated Gas rose briskly in the later
dealings on payment of the divi-
dend deferred from last week.
United States Steel was apa-
! thetic, its course indicating conf
dence in the maintenance of the
common dividend. Publication of
the corporations earnings for the
final quarter Of 1921 after the close
of the market, showed a gain Of
slightly less than 100000 over the
preceding quarter. Sales. 100000

Shifting Of bank reserves in an
ticipation of February payments
! caused a moderate stiffening of
time funds, s per cent ruling for the
longer dates. All call loans were
made at 5 per cent and in private
at shade under that quotation.
British and French exchanges

mittances were firm. The German,
Dutch, Swiss and Norwegian quo
tations eased a trifle and Swedish,
Danish and Greek rates strength
ened.
Trading in bonds fell away to a
marked extent, the net result In
the Liberty group, however. show
ing a preponderance Of gains.
There was active trading in the

phone transmitter on the America was
due to the General Electric Company.
Consider also one application of inter
national broadcasting by radio; an in
covenants openly arrived at-and tho
whole world listening in" Some day,
and perhaps in the not very distant f1-
ture the dream will be reality. When
it is possible for the peoples Of the world
to listen to the deliberations Of states
men, to have first hand knowledge Of the
functioning of their executives in power.
then the voice of the people may literally
be heard.
Another vision Of radio telephone util-
ity was expressed to me recently by that
eminent soldier-scientist Major-General
George o. Squier, Chief Signal officer Of
the Army. Replying to my inquiry as to
the reason for the number Of devices in
stalled in his Office to bring in the ether
wave concerts, he explained that this
radio equipment served a dual purpose
in addition to the scientific interest It
held for him, he employed It as a mental
background. For years he had noted that
the concentration demanded by his daily
duties was subject to the handicap of dis.
fractions caused by noises from the street
outside. Radio could be employed to end
all this, he believed. by bringing music
into this Office, enabling him to create
his own background. BY replacing noise
with harmony he would in time become
oblivious Of all outside sounds and work
without injurious distractions The basic
thought here followed the experience of
the Post Office in its installation of phono-
graphs and the resultant speeding up of
the work of men employed In sorting
mail The General carried the idea fur
Their, however, in asserting his conviction
that the day was not far distant when
radio broadcast receiving sets would at
tain fixed position in certain classes of
factory operations; more particularly
could they be effectively introduced
among the sweatshops to tighten the bur.
den Of the toilers subjected to the daily
monotony there encountered.
The position OF radio at the moment is
conspicuous one. not alone in the fact
that II has suddenly caught the public
fancy, but because the countrywide buy
ing movement of radio devices was be-
gun in period of business depression
and the public's welcome to the new art
brought needed stimulus to the great cleo.
trical industry. 1t will grow more con-
spicuous from day to day. with new uses
and new developments. Thus radio com.
munication will be force of vast and
beneficial influence to civilization and
humanity.

other hand, has a large sphere reserved
for It in reaching locations where wires
cannot be placed or maintained, in span
ming inland waters or connecting up isl
ands OF the coast. AS supplement to
wire telephony alone, radio is assured
of great future-which again directs
me to the subject of broadcasting, field
that distinctly belongs to radio.
To those of us who watched every step
in the onward march of radio, who saw
scientific principles shaping themselves
into business facts, who sensed the trend
of research in the development Of wire
less. the instantaneous success of radio
phone broadcasting does not come as a
surprise. In 1915 from the possibilities
that could be foreseen had worked out
plan for radio broadcasting in COM
mercial detail and submitted it for con-
sideration by my company.
The time was not ripe, however, for
action on this project; we were in the
midst of war activities and the devices
for radiophone transmission and recep-
ton had not been perfected to the point
they have been brought to at the present
day. Broadcastng is reality now, and
1t has been made possible only by fine
coordinated effort within the industry \
large part OF the credit being due to the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company for being first in establishing it
on an organized basis. Radio telephone
broadcasting is not in itself an invention;
1t Is the application of principles previ-
ously established.
The hearthside circle is only small
part OF the unmeasured sphere of It's In
fiuence, however. Country schools can
not afford to employ the best teachers OF
the most able lecturers. Think OF sJs-
tenn of rural education, augmented
through the setting up of a broadcasting
station with a range Of several hundred
miles and connecting up within that ra-
dius a thousand country schools.
Transoceanic radio telephony is not
theory; 1t is an accomplished fact. Speech
was first transmitted to France by the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, and even greater distance was
covered by its engineers when their equip
ment at the Arlington naval station, near
enabled speech to be heard
in Hawaii. This company and the asso-
ciated engineers Of the Western Electric
Company have attained very practical
results in their experimental work in the
ship to shore field. enabling me few
evenings ago, to talk from my home, over
the ordinary wire, to the captain OF the
steamship America. 400 miles out at sea.

dent Harding, who by pushing button
in washington started the apparatus on
Long Island and automatically sent out
to the whole world message Of greeting
from our nations Chief Executive. That
message was received directly as far as
New Zealand and Australia, japan and in
South America. 1t was a feat of broad.
casting that meant practically an instan-
taneous encircling of the globe with a
single message. It was one of the crown
ing achievements of modern radio.
Turning to the discussion of the par
TALLY developed radio telephone, the basic
principles are exactly the same as in
radio telegraphy. With the radio tele-
phone the voice control of the electro
magnetic wave is substituted for the
telegraphic signal control; vacuum tubes
replace the old time coil and coherer;
but everything else remains the same in
principle, except that in telephony, as
stated, the wave 10 modulated or changed
in accordance with the vibrations of the
human voice exactly as is the case with
ordinary currents for wire telephoning.
Transmission of speech or music has
been made possible almost entirely by
development of that marvellous device the
vacuum tube. In physical appearance 1t
resembles an ordinary electric light, but
inside the glass bulb are three metallic
elements a plate, a filament and grid.
A single one of these vacuum tubes of
fair size can generate as much power as
would run an ordinary fan motor, or
about one-sixteenth horsepower. There
are tubes now being made which generate
a power of twenty kilowatts, or nearly
thirty horsepower.
What are the possibilities of radio
telephony when the art will have devel-
oped to the approximate perfection OF
wireless telegraphy? 1t is difficult to
keep ones feet on the ground in contem-
plating the subject It staggers the i'm
agination.
Think Of radio telephony as a means
OF better understanding between man and
man, creed and creed, and even nation
and nation.
Consider that the great difference be-
tween man and animals is the fact that
man can express himself and that human
beings have the ability to make others of
their kind understand what they think
and what they would like them to know.
With the coming of the telegraph man
learned to transfer that power of express
sion to telegraph operator and thence
to the wira With the wire telephone he

found that he could himself send his
message to given point. And now with
radio broadcasting he can radiate not
only his message but his very person
atty: and that power is very wonderful
one.
In a competitive sense the future of
radio is equally bright. Its opportunities
in long distance communication are mani
fold, as evidenced in the single fact that
messages can be sent through the air at
tremendous speeds of transmission, and
commercially more words per minute
mean less cost per word. With lessened
cost there will naturally be created new
classes of service until the day may come
when business man will look upon the
writing of letter to Europe on an urgent
subject as an archaic practice.
The practical vision of the future Of
radio does not include, however, the
scrapping of undersea cable systems;
radio will supplement rather than sup
plant the cables. In the first place, ex-
perience has shown that new inventions
usually result in the Improvement of
previously existing methods. In the Sec
ond place, communication facilities al
ways have been inadequate-just as new
subways never quite relieve congestion
and the increase in facilities will cause
increase in new services. 1t is inconceiv-
able that the development of the trans
mission of intelligence will 60 forward
at leisurely pace; everything points to
very great acceleration. In putting an
end to the single point to point limitation
imposed upon the cable. radio will become
the dominating method of conducting
long distance communication and will
hold that leadership.
In some measure, the same considera-
lions apply to the future prospects Of
radio telephony over land In the mo-
bile services, In connecting up isolated
communities and the shore with the sea
there Is a rich field for develop
ment. That radio will supplant the wire
telephone is not to be contemplated.
Wire telephone communication, rs we
know II to-day, has the greatest utility
for the type of service rendered 1t is
a wonderfully developed and complete
system for seeking out for the user
through a wire network and the CEN
trial exchange personnel the partic-
ular individual wanted. This entire
system, this entire service, would have to
be duplicated to establish radio telephony
on parity in usefulness and even If
this were technically practicable with
radio telephony-which II is not-there
is no economic justification for such
duplication. The radio telephone. on the

dive under the surface of the sea to reach
him. He weighed 240 pounds and gave
bis name as George Martin. He was
quickly brought ashore, or rather dragged
as his bathing suit was ripped from his
body by the two officers in their success
full efforts to save the mans life. He had
been seized with cramps and was helpless
and semi-unconscious.
Martin was given first aid and recov-
cred. Fitzgibbons was commended by the
Police Department with another bronze
star and awarded the medal of the New
York State Life Saving Society, with $25
in gold coin.
In the following exploit Fitzgibbons
probably innovated a new method of dis.
arming a man with murderous intent.
1t Is not recommended for the unsophisti-
Gated and is relegated to those daredevils
who act and think at the same time.
The officer was walking along in the
early hours of the morning of October 8,
1921, when a taxi driver recognized him
and approached. The former stated that
a man with gun had had an argument
with the patrolman on post and had come
back with loaded revolver to kill him.
Fitzgibbons started north on Eighth ave-
nue. at Forty-fourth street looking for the
patrolman on duty. He discovered two
men, one with gun in his hand, and the
other urging him to go home. The Of
ficer approached and at the same time
saw Patrolman Nylan coming toward
them.
The man perceived Nylan and raised
his revolver to shoot Fitzgibbons struck
him terrible blow on the point of the
jaw, but it did not put the gunman out.
Turning from Patrolman Nylan he showed
the revolver in the pit of Fitzgibbons's
stomach and tried to pull the trigger.
The officer, under the circumstances
perhaps, should have shot the man in self
defense. He would have been fully justi
fed. However, this is just the moment
that Fitzgibbons thought just second
faster than the man with the gun. He,
quick as a flash, pulled the catch that
breaks revolvers of this description, flip
ping the chambers empty of cartridges.
The gun was rendered harmless, as the
cartridges rolled upon the sidewalk. 1t
was a question of being a second ahead
of the other fellow. The man was an
athlete and it was with great difficulty
that he was subsequently subdued and
placed under arrest.
Magistrate Levine, when the man was
arraigned later, praised Fitzgibbons for
his cool headed action in the matter He
received honorable mention from the Po-
lice Department and gold star
Sergeant Fitzgibbons is 40 years of age
and married.
