Danger In Misuse
Of House Wires
Amateurs Should Not Attempt to
Use Lighting Circuits
for Radio

Greatest care should be exercised in
the use Of interior lighting circuits
for radio work. Unless there is avail
able thorough knowledge of elec-
tricity as applied to house lighting,
amateurs should not attempt the use
OF transmission lines, by the way of
house lighting systems, for radio re-
ceiving-sending might result dis
astrously not only to the sending ap-
paratus, lighting circuits and fixtures,
but to the property in which the ex-
periments are attempted.
There are numerous methods sug-
gested for using electric wiring for
receiving-paramou to all consid-
erations, all wiring on light circuits
should be in perfect condition, and
this is true to the greater extent in
the case of fixture wires, cords and at
tachments. To prevent damage to re-
ceiving sets fuses of low carrying
capacity should be interposed in the
receiving circuit beyond the last point
of contact with the lighting system,
and in turn the house entrance fuses
should be replaced with fuses capable
of carrying the actual current con-
sumed, instead of the rated capacity
of the system.
Amateurs are prone to the use of

CHILDREN
HIDDEN IN CENSUS
Mothers Believed They Were
Counted Off to Be
Slain.

LONDON, April 2e.--Many Chinese
residents of the Port OF Hong Kong
refused to fill up their census papers
because they held the belief that
the British authorities We're taking
the census for the purpose of FRO
curing a number of children to bury
under the piers OF a new bridge.
Thus relates Mr.. J. p. Lloyd, the
Hong Kong census officer. in his re.
port to his government.
THE prevalence of a widespread
belief among Chinese women of the
middle and lower classes in the al.
legged inhuman designs of the pubic
works department on infanti!e life
undoubtedly affected the number OF
children Of both sexes recorded be.
tween the ages of four and ten
years." gays Lloyd's report.
THE rumor referred TO is, in short.
that the government intended TO
build a huge bridge across the har-
Dor to Kowloon, resting on ninety
nine piers, and that a certain mum.
ber of young children of both sexes
were required to be buried alive un.
der the foundations of each pier in
order to insure its stability.
I'm the perverted view OF the
frightened mothers the very object
Of the census was to enable the gov
ernment to make a suitable choice If
it's victims! In some districts moth.
ers removed their children forcibly
from school, while many children
were locked indoors for days and not
allowed to go out. Newspapers,
however. soon killed the rumor.

ALABAMA To ERECT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. April 20
Alabama will have two high-power
radio broadcasting stations by June
/, one already begun by an electrical
company here dealing in the radio
equipment and the other at Auburn
POLYTECHNIC Institute. These two
stations, with equal sending capacity
with Pittsburgh, will put the State
firmly on the map In radio leader
ship.
Interest in the development of
radio is evidenced by the fact that
the equipment company here, deal
ing in receiving station outfits, has
disposed of twenty-five complete
stations in two weeks and In the
same period has booked seventy-five
orders for future delivery.
Department stores, hotels, clubs,
cafes and athletic institutions are
leading In the radio race now. Deal
ers in the station outfits, swamped
with more orders than can be filled
for several weeks, declare that II the
present pace is maintained every
important business house will be
serving concerts to its customers
and clients for amusement during
business hours.
Futher research and scientific de-
velopmept OF radio is expected 10
result here, dealers and students
declare. because of the character OF
the equipment in demand. Light,
small outfits are not wanted, and
the simple anateurish outfits re-
main unsold. Only the high-power
efficient stations are wanted. indi.
eating an eagerness among pur'
chasers to delve effectively into the

With the completion here Of the
big broadcasting station. even futher
advances are anticipated in the al
ready remarkable growth.

BY DEPUTY RENE FONCK,
Ace of All Aces.

Before the year 1925 comes I ex-
pect to dine one evening in Paris and
the next evening in New York.
II automobile progress was rapid,
airplane progress has and will be
still more rapid. Already tremendous
strides have been made toward per-
fection since the war. Progress since
1918 has been more rapid if anything
than progress between 1914 and 1918.
If the war were to begin again now
airplanes would end it within a few
months. That is why air develop
ment-is so important to the security
of France-of any nation.
Airplanes, telegraphy and tele-
phony are welding the world and the
peoples inhabiting it together until
eventually there will be born a new
nationallty-the nationality OF the
world. A citizen will then-and 1t is
a day our children will see-be able
to travel from New York to Tokyo
as easily as he now does from New
York to Kansas City.
Must Go Up High.
The future of air development for
long distance travel lies in the con-
quering of the upper atmosphere.
When we learn TO send an airplane
$4,000 feet into the air and keep il
there we shall be able to travel at
speeds now deemed impossible. II is
no exaggeration to say th1t large
passenger airplanes may one day by
attaining a sufficient altitude, where
the air resistance is less, be able to
travel between Paris and New York
overnight at a speed of 400 TO 500
miles an hour.
Naturally such enormous speeds
entail a multitude OF problems. A
method must be found first for per-
mitti1g pilot and passengers to live
at rarified attitudes. Airships must
be constructed which will resist the
tremendous pressure caused by the
swift rush through the air. This is
by no means impossible or even i'm
practicable. The delicate structure
of birds wings resists even greater
speeds. Finally. a way must be
found of adjusting carburetors and
propellers so as to take account of
the different stages of air resistance
found at varying attitudes. Many
engineers are now studying these
problems, and there is good prospect
that solutions will before long be
found.
At any rate, l am convinced that
the future lies with the heavier-than-
air machine and not with the airship.
