Mysteries of Radio

This method OF transmission also
permits the use of combined radio
telephone and telegraph set. BY
simply throwing a few switches, the
operator may change from speech to
telegraph code.
There arc three general types Of

tons using a vacuum tube receiving
apparatus.
Since there are a large number OF
amateurs using crystal receiving
sets, the antenna oscillations Of a
tube transmitter are modulated 10y a

Fruit Growers Take Up Prospects
in This Locality.

Representatives of the fruit grow
ers' associations of Maryland, Vir-

and experts from the Department of
Agriculture. are today meeting in the
Center Market Auditorium to de-
termine the crop conditions by re-
ports from their respective sections,
also to obtain cooperation with rail-
way officials in obtaining transpotta-
tion facilities.
Official reports of crop conditions
in the different sections were made
this morning and this afternoon rail-
road officials will be asked to ex-
plain plans for transporting the
fruit crops during marketing season.
Reports show general improve
ment in fruit crops over last year,
however. There is a geperal decline
over the average taken for the last
ten years. although from all indica-
tions 1t is thought that thre will be
a plentiful supply of fruit on the
local market.
