The question OF linking up the ordi-
rary telephone circuit with wireless
telephone stations is no longer prob
iem; in fact, it is al actually, and
aas been in daily operation for the
last four years. There are at tho
resent time hundreds OF persons send
ug their voices out across the ether
w.thout knowing 1t.
The remarkable development of the
1adio-phone as applied to the broad
casting Of concerts and news ard the
phenomenal manner in which the pub
IL has taken il up lend AT added in
crest TO the other possibilities of wire
lcrs telephony.
Before describing these possibilities
!; viii be well TO point out that, con
vary TO the belief Of many persons.
the wireless telephone never VIII sup
pant the regular system Of wire
telephony Like most modern develop
ments, the wireless telephone will sup
element the existing facilities rather
than displacc them.
The scope Of the wireless telephone
As means OF communication lies in
reeions where it is impractcab.e or
impossible TO place ordinary telephone
vlres, such as across oceans, deserts
With ships at sea and with aircraft fly
ing between two points.
Mdocean Communic alton
BY the time that transatlantic telc-
phone communication is put into every
cay use it will be possible for a sub
scrioer to pick UP the telephone in his
home or Office and have a conversation
With friend on a transatlantic liner
IA midoeean. These conversations will
9c just as clear and equally as salts
factory as the present transcontinental
telephone connections, and it will take
no longer TO obtain the connection by
wireless than it does now to obtain 8
nainber in San Francisco from New
York
There IS nothing imaginative about
this. The preliminary experiments are
being made at the present time and
have proceeded for considerable
period in the past. Perhaps the best
experiment is that which has been con-
Quoted between Los Angeles and the
island Of Santa Catalina, off the Pacific
cast for the last four years.
During the war it was decided to
Place telephone communication be-
tween this island and the mainland.
When the engineers sought TO lay a
cable, however it was found that il
would be impossible to obtain deliveries
n time TO meet the contract. 1t was
decided. therefore, to place a wireless
telephone service to the island and use
4 as d practical test for future posi-
kiii,es
This service has now been in salts
factory operation for the last four
years and some remarkable demonstra-
tons have been made with it. One Of

SIGNAL CORPS HEAD WORKING
 ON NKW APPARATUS

Staff Sergeant James H. Anderson head electrician and Officer In Charge of tho Nome Radio Station. is busy at work on an apparatus designed to catch the radio phone bulletins sent out daily by the Seat tie Post-Iutelfigencer. The Seat tic paper has been sending these radio phone bulletins broadcast for some weeks and have asked the Nome office to attempt to catch the cmanations. So far the machines have been out of tune and the radio stan are unable to catch clearly the waves sent. Disturbances are reg istered but are so indistinct that no positive determination can be ac- complished.
 Mir. Anderson feels confident that he will succeed in getting into tune with Seattle and so enable Nome to participate in the remarkable new Radio Phone Service.

THE ARMY X NAVY
 FAILED TO COME RACK

The third and deciding game in the Base Ball championship series between the Army & Navy and the Nome All Stars was played before fair sized crowd in the large Eagle hall last Saturday night.
 The Army & Navy had their first innings and lead of with three scores. which. with the exception oi one more in the second and another in the seventh. was their total score.
 The warm spell of weather which lad turned to a cold snap evidently affected the players for the game was slow and not at all exciting. Tn Nome team had things their own way from the first and brought home a piece of bacon each inning.
 The many friends of the Army x Navy felt confident that after the splendid showing made at the prev ious game the boys would walk away with the All Stars. but,-they fell down. and with them came the slogan Can They Come Back"
 The All Stars played their same steady game. took advantage of every opportunity and connected with the ball SO often that they had easy sailing into the port of advan- tage.
 The batteries of the two teams are equal in speed and head work while the field work of the Stars shows closer and more consistent playing than that of their opponents
 Final score: Army & Navy 5.
 All Stars 8.
 After the ball game the floor was cleared and dancing was indulged in to the music of the Wathey Or chestra. The dance crowd. while rather small, enjoyed itself until after midnight.

BASKET BALL GAMES
 PUBLIC SCHOOL GYM

The Americans and Nationals held their weekly contest last Monday night in the School Gymnasium be- fore an interested crowd of specta. tors.
 The Nationals carried away the honors of the evening. defeating the Americans by score of 27 to IS.
 Andrew Sather was the star of the evening making 20 of the 27 scores counted for the Nationals.
 Superintendent Collins has issued a new order applying to all Basket Ball players which is as follows: Any member of the Nome Public School participating in any athletic game or games, who shall accept money for scores earned or for ex ceptional playing shall be deemed guilty of professionalism and ex. pelled from any and all athletic teams in the school.
 The ruling is a wise oen from sev- erai angles. To offer g player money for scores earned tends tC disorganize team work thru the de- sire of the individual to make star plays. Also accepting money for effort is contrary to the spirit of true sport. Play the game for sake of the game not for compensation. Once the spirit of commercialism enters athletic games results only are sought and many times under handed methods are employed.

R. c, Sergeant. the genial sparks of the local radio staff. took trip to Council on April 3rd, accompany ing Al. Pangman, who will remain in Council for the summer. The boys made the trip in one day. ar irving at their destination on Tues day afternoon April 5th. After resting for night and half the next day Mr. Sergeant started alone on the return trip. getting as far as Timber the first day. From Timber Sergeant made the run to Solomon. where he visited at the Eskimo Gold Dredge on Solomon river. coming on to Nome and ar irving on April Sth. having success fully covered the round trip Of l60 miles.
 For an old timer to make this trip would be nothing particularly unusual. but when, one considers that Mir. Sergeant had never before driven a dog team. had never been farther from Nome than Safety. then one realizes that an unusual exper- fence was undergone. He was a' stranger in foreign country; was unused to driving dogs and took the mushers chance on the trail. with all of the possible vicissitudes incl dent to trail travel in the winter. As an experience Mir. Sergeant has. registered one of the grestest In this frozen wilderness. namely; alone on the trail in an unknown country,
 Thru it all Sergeant enjoyed him self thoroughly and had the time of his life. He took 8 chance that few old tinters woulfa take. and luck was with him. " x
