Plan Expected to Spread
Throughout c. S.

Boston, Mass, April 8.-What is
expected to develop into q uniform
route marking system for the en-
tire country is being inaugurated
! in New England.
| Roads hitherto marked by lines
and symbols that confused rather
than helped motorists are being
numbered so that no doubt may
arise in the mind of strangers as TO
! the correctness of their routes.
Red, blue and yellow bands are
being painted out in Massachusetts.
| The various marketings along the
New Hampshire roads are disap-
pearing and the individual state
! highway designations in Maine,
! Vermont, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut are giving way to the new
system
One Symbol
/ Instead Of these there will be
uniform symbol on all the high
ways, federal, state and local

black border. Within the square
will be a black numeral-the num-
Der of the road, according to a sys-

The symbol and other details of
this new plan were decided upon at
a recent meeting of the Automobile

AERIAL SHOULD
Be GROUNDED
PREVENTS FIRE
Amateur Radio Fans in Building
Their Own Sets Are warned
to Be Precautions.

A word Of advice to the radio fan
who is erecting his own set:
There is no government license
required to operate a receiving set
But there is a regulation OF thu
National Board Of Underwriters
pertaining to the grounding OF thu
antenna.
Aerial supports" this order
reads. are to be constructed and
installed in a strong and durable
manner. Aerial conductors, with
wires leading down from same to
ground switch. must be supported
on approved insulators.
These conductors are to be kept
at a distance OF not less than six
inches from the building. except
where entering the same through
approved non-comhustible non-ab-
sorptive insulators."
Obey this regulation faithfully.
A large single-blade double-thrOw
switch should be mounted on the
outside of the house-on the window
ledge il convenient-sO the antenua
may be grounded when not in ac-
tual use.
The wire from the switch should
be run down the side OF the house
at the required six-inch distance
to a large iron plate or iron pipe
sunk into the ground
Do not confuse this antenns
ground with the ground OF the ac-
tual receiving set. They are Quit
different
Grounding the antenna is Just
protective measure.

be able not only to receive and send
messages of all sorts, but also that
they may be enabled to construct
their own outfits.
Washington housewives now get

Aeronautical experts in England
insist that radio is a necessity to
safeguard aerial travel. The house
of commons has before it regula-
tons requiring passenger-carrying
planes to be equipped for aerial
communication, and as soon as an
agreement is effected with the In
ternational Convention and Aerial
Navigation, the regulations will be
issued. The regulations specify
that all planes carrying ten or
more people, be equipped with a
transmitter and a receiver. The
British air secretary has ordered
all planes crossing the English
channel to carry wireless appa-
ratus.
The directors of several country
clubs in various parts of the Unit
ed States are planning the installa-
ton of radio receiving sets in order
that members spending week-ends
at the club may keep informed of
the happenings of the day.
Seven stranded phosphor bronze
is an ideal aerial wire so far DIS
strength is concerned, and lasts
very long time 1t is not, however,
a very good electrical conductor.
In fact, compared with copper, It
is only two-fifths as good Much
more radio energy is lost in bronze
wire than in copper of equal size.
Radio frequency currents, when
conducted by wires at the sending
and receiving stations, travel
through a thin layer of metal along
the exterior of the wires, because
of the phenomenon known as skin
effect" The loss of radio energy
in the wires depends on the cleo
trical conducting properties of the
exterior Of the metol.

from the transmitter to the re-
ceiver, a new theory was given by
Prof. ]. A. Fleming, a well known
radio authority in England, before
the Royal Society of Arts. His
explanation was that there is a
highly conducting layer in the up
per regions of the atmosphere, in
which the component gases are by
drogen and helium. The colduc-
tivity of this strata is probably due
to electrified dust which comes to
US from the sun, from which it IS
repealed by the radiation pressure
against the gravitation attraction.
This conducting layer guides the
radio waves around the earth and
prevents them from escaping into
space.

states Major General George o.
eruier. chief signal officer OF the
limited States army, explaining
how his development can be ap-
ulied TO practical problems of ra-
do broadcasting and receiving.
Sitting at his desk in his office
IN the Munitions building, General
Souier turned the switch of his
electric desk lamp.
Immediately the strains of a vio-
lin solo by Mischa Elman flooded
the room, coming from an ordinary
radio-receiving set in one corner.
System Is Simple.
There is nothing startling about
IL" says Squier, swapping on the
switch. For years we have been
broadcasting all sorts of things by
means of our electric lighting cir
cuits-flat irons, vacuum clean
ers, washing machines, dishwash-
ers, curling irons, fans.
Now by this system of controll-
ed radio, we simply broadcast ra-
do waves over a definite network
of wires and into homes and Of
fees in a definitely known zone,
instead of sending them out at ran
dom to help confuse the ether.
Radio Now Exclusive.
zone of the biggest handicaps to
radio, heretofore, has been its all
inclusiveness. By this new meth
cd, radio may be made exclusive.
washington, for instance, may
broadcast for its citizens concerts,
lectures, news-bulletins or any
sort of information or entertain
ment without disturbing the ether
for Baltimore or other nearby
towns.
by assigning wave-lengths, any
number of broadcasting stations
can feed messages into the Wash :
ington circuit. for Washington con-
sumption, without cluttering up
the ether for general radio work.
This exclusivenesS can be car
ried much further. Any hotel or
building having its own electric
system, can become a self-contain-
ed radio circuit.
with a radio amplifier in each
room, connected with the hotels
own electric circuit, it would be
possible for the music of the or
chestre in the main dining room
to be broadcast to every guest
room.
Possibilities Infinite.
THE possibilities are infinite.
Both for business and personal
uses, the development of a method
of controlled radio immeasurably
broadens the field of its practical
Bile use.
by making possible intensive
radio broadcasting within the lin
its of a given city or community,
without affecting the ether for 9TH
er cities or for long distance radio
communication, wired wireless
greatly simplifies the problem of
radio regulation.
You Merely ~Plug In.e
The same sort of plug that is
on the end of your flat-iron cord
or your vacuum sweeper connec-
ton connects your radio-receiving
set with the city's electric circuit.
Then you can get off that cir
cult whatever radio messages are
put on it-get them clearly, sharp
ly, distinctly, without any fading

Interference from outside broad

The Argus RadoNew Suggestions for Amateur Operat
ROBERT KARLOWA
MAKES COMMENT
ON RADIO WRITER

The Argus Radio is in receipt of
t letter from Robert Karlowa Of
the Karlowa Radio company in the
Best building. commenting on an
article written by Burton Lee for
the Consolidated Press Mr.. Kar-
Iowa stated that in reference to
conflicting wave lengths. and the
super-imposing of opera and mar
ket reports is ridiculous" and very
rarely" does a case of this kind
happen
Mr. Karlowa's letter:
"Broadcasting stations are so
closely tuned that it is possible to
receive Detroit, Chicago, Pitts
burgh, Schenectady or New York in
Rock Island without any interfer-
ence. This accomplished by mere
ly tuning in the station you may
desire 1t is true, we have occa-
sions when interference is caused,
but this is mostly from broadly
tuned commercial spark stations.
''Radiophones do not interfere
with government stations provid-
ing they comply with the legal re-
quirements, and all must The only
trouble is experienced when a COM
mercial ship or land station is US
ing an efficient receiving set
which does not permit close tun-
ing.
In further paragraph Mr. Lee
states that broadcasting stations
are working without licenses. Every
radiophone broadcasting station,
every amateur spark or C. w. sta
ton. in fact, every station which
transmits is required to have a gov
eminent license which definitely
specifies the wave length to be used.
There is not radio station in this
country, regardless of the type of
transmitting it is engaged in,
which does not have a license.
Il would like to impress upon
you and your readers, that the
radio melee Mr.. Lee refers to is
grossly exaggerated. Stations are
licensed, they are limited to the
wave lengths they use, they are
only permitted to use their equip
ment for the definite purpose their
licenses state, and their licenses
are subject to immediate revoca-
ton in case of illegal use or will

traffic"
