Radio May Soon Be in Common
Use on Various Motor Vehicles

1t may not be commonly known
that as early as August, 1919,
wireless telephone sets were in
use on few automobiles. Neces.
sarlly these instruments were
more or less crude and for :he
purpose Of experimentation, but
they served as a nucleus for a
quite general movement today to
equip automobiles and trucks with
radio as n matter Of course.
This, Of course, opens up a

Those who have penetrated the IN

agreed that the Italians are import

by the shortage of coal supply could
be very much relieved if Italy would

that what Italy needs most is a bust

agricultural and industrial methods,
but the comparative ease with which
they can be adopted.
