NEW WILLYS- KNIGHT
TAXI BIG BUSINESS

Taxi owners and operators all
over the country have displayed
unusual interest in the announce
ment of the WHY'S Overland com
panys that the famous WHY'S
knight motor was now available
for taXicab use, in the new WHY'S
Knight Taxicab.
The Willys-Knight is highly
specialized taXicab in every detail.
And taxi owners recognize in the
Specifications a great many things
that they have always wanted but
could not get heretofore.
The Knight engine is the only
type motor that actually improves
with use. This Is a feature that
owners and operators cannot af-
ford TO overlook for It reduces re-
pair costs to a minimum. Gasoline
mileage IS exceptionally high and
annual depreciation is a negligible
figure.
The chassis and body Of the
WHY'S knight taxi are especially
built for the long life Of day and
night duty that the good taXicab
must meet.
Taxi drivers who have ridden IN
the WHY'S knight claim that its
riding qualities are far superior to
any cab they have ever used.
Almost any city and town in the
country can furnish immediate
service whenever an accident re-
quires service or parts for the cab.
Features like these give the
Willys-Knisht an earning power
far beyond the average cab--and
have already resulted in an un-
precedented volume OF business for
the Willys-Overland company.

NEW INDIAN BIG
CHIEF MOTORCYCLE
DECIDED SUCCESS

The Hendee Manufacturing COM
pany announces a new super-pow-
cred model, the Indian Big Chief
of "A Gu. in. piston displacement.
The original Indian Chief of Gt
GU. in. brought out in 1921 made a
decided hit with the motorcycle
trade both in the domestic and
export field, but there seemed TO be
a demand from those interested in
the trade for a machine for side
car use, with greater power and
speed, but embodylng the same en-
cheering principles of the original
Chief and this new model, heavy
duty plugger, is the result.
The Big Chief "A has been un-
dergoing development for a year,
and over so OF these machines have
been plugging good, bad and indif-
ferent roads in all sections OF the
country since early summer. These
were factory production machines,
regular stock models, and not spe-
cially constructed experimental
models The company Is greatly
pleased at the uniformly good re-
ports from dealers and riders,
which are coming in every day on

Plan TO Broadcast
Foreign Commercial
Data From CAPITAL

Since the recent decision of the de-
partment of M to have foreign
commercial data ~broadcasted from
radio stations in the neighborhood of
its "a district offices, schemes for the
Improvement Of this service, particu-
larly in the saving of time, have been
received from several sources. One
OF he recent suggestions is that radio
receiving sets be installed at all the
branch offices Of the department so
that commercial data broadcasted
from government stations in Washing
ton and other important centers nay
be received without delay and re-broad-
casted locally. The plan is now being
considered by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, and if a favorable
report is made, the department may be
in the market for "a AL receiving
sets. 1t is readily admitted by Off
Gals that much time would be saved
in relaying the information from the
Washington headquarters and getting
a wide broadcast for the whole coun-
try, but fears are entertained that an
appropriation for purchasing the re-
ceiving sets might not meet with the
approval Of an economically inclined
congress-.
A great mass of foreign trade infor-
nation is received by the department
daily and released to the press, but
much of it fails to reach all interested
parties. For this reason, a scheme
for forwarding it by wire to the "a
central and cooperative offices in diff
ferent sections of the country for
broadcasting has been undertaken, and
it is to improve this service that the
use. of radio for transmitting the data,
Andrews is, suggested.

Of BREAK
ON ISOLATED ROAD
LESsEVED BY RADIO
Motorist Will Feel Easier if
He Can Call Help
Via Air.

It may not be commonly known that
as early as August. 1919. wireless
telephone sets were in use on a few
automobiles. Necessarily these instru-
ments were more or less crude and
for the purpose OF experimentation.
but they served as a nucleus for a
quite general movement today to equip
automobiles and trucks with radio as
a matter of course.
This, of course, opens up a fasci-
mating line of thought. Imagine, for
example. how extraordinary useful
such equipment would prove to the
trucking business. The dispatcher or
owner could keep in continuous con
versational touch. for the purpose of
giving instructions. with all his drivers.
The driver instead of leaving his seat
and ~telephoning to the office, if he is
in town. could simply switch on" the
instrument and without delay get in
touch with headquarters. If he were
in trouble out on the road he in the
same way could quickly communicate
this fact. This and many other in
stances are referred to by a recent
Fircstone Ship-by-Truck bulletin.
The later case is where wireless
would prove extremely useful to the
motorist and while the efficient radio
could not TRANSPORT him any gasoline.
it would soon get some on the way via
service car. Imagine, too, the ad-
vantage of the salesman being able
to keep in touch through this means
with the home office or the touring
party being able to transmit to those
at home the wonders of the scenic
effects they were witnessing.
The banker or other business man
could keep in touch with the trend of
the market. important kilograms that
have arrived and how affairs at the
office are progressing.
The imagination staggers under the
possibilities that the radio presents
and it may not be long before the car
and truck owner may be able to ex-
p%eriencp this utility

.TELETYPE MESSAGE
PRINTED BY RADIO
8 MILES DISTANT
Contest Received and Typed
by Recording Device
on Machine.

The bureau of standards recently
explained some experiments by +. w.
DunmOre which indicated that a re-
Gently perfected radio relay recorder
might do away with code operators by
printing the code message on a tape
so that it could be read visibIy by in
experienced men, but now the naval
aerials and radio experts have gone
the bureau one better-they print
radio messages automatically on a
typewriter.
Cooperating with the radio labora-
tory of the bureau, experts of the navy
succeccfully tested the operation Of
the line-wire teletype by radio a few
months ago and succeeded in printing
messages from a distance of nine
miles. The radio circuit was estab-
lished between the bureau of stand
ards ear Chevy Chase and the naval
air station at Anacostia.
More recent experiments have es-
tablished the fact that teletype mes
sages printed on a machine installed in
IN airplane and transmitted BY radio
can be recorded on a typewriter in a
ground station. Future experiments
will undertake the reversal of this OPP
Grafton: the sending machine being on
the ground and the receiving appa-
ratus installed in a plane in flight.
Great interest is manifested by naval
experts, as the new method will per-
nit the sending and receipt of dupli-
cate orders of record, eliminating
errors and a knowledge of code, be-
sides saving time of rewriting.
The practical tests made assure fu-
ture commercial uses in aerial news
reporting, when a correspondent COW
ering an aquatic event, marine en-
gagement or sea maneuvers can send
his copy straight TO the desk. Another
value. if aerial passenger lines are ex-
tended. would be the receipts and dis
patch of typewriter kilograms, stock
reports. news dispatches, etc, ready
for delivery.
The sending instrument of the tele-
type resembles in general the CONNER
cial typewriter, in that a keyboard
having the letters of the alphabet and
other conventional symbols on it is ar
ranged so that it may be operated by
hand. Each key is connected to the
radio installation in the plane and when
a letter is struck on the keyboard q
radio impulse is sent out from the an
tennas of the plane and is received at
a ground station. The similarity to
the typewriter is completed in tho
receiving device.
When the letter A is struck on the
keyboard in the aid. the radioactive
energy released travels to the record
ing instrument and seiectively ener-
gizes the type-letter "A" causing 1t
be reproduced On paper carried in
the receiver.
The teletype has been in use for
years in connection with land
wire operations, but its application to
radio use is a recent development The
tests at the naval air station are the
first that have ever been conducted in
aircraft.

Washington. Aug. 19.-"An i'll wind
may blow radio communication some
good" In fact. it is very likely thai
the seizure of 10 transatlantic caoies
by the Irish regulars, reported by Inc
Associated Press, leaving but seven TO
carry all the Old World news and dis
patches. may give radio communication
the opportunity il needs to show what
it can do, especially in an emergency.
And to date it is reported the RadiO
Corporation of America is clearing all
its transatlantic messages filed etween
Great Britain and North America with
out delay.
Officials of the Radio Corporation OF
America in Washington say they wei
ON the opportunity to handle the In
creased traffic and feel that after two
and a half years operation they can
! handle their share. ut least. Ordi-
narily. the r. G.. of A. carries between
90 and % per cent of the transatlantic
traffic, but now il may get about Az
cent.
May Destroy Stations
The five commercial cables seized in
ireland terminate in Wnterville, the
four Western Union at Nalentia. and
the British cable at Ballingskeillgs.
The trouble seems to be that II the
government forces attempt TO regain
the stations. the rebels will destroy
them. as was the case with the Mar,
conf station at Clifden, which operated
to Canada. The three remaining ca
bles direct to Penzance. England. be-
came overloaded at once and the N
radio circuit in operation. that OF Car
narvon. is busy night and day.
Radio corporation officials admit.
bnvrovar fbof tho ('arparVOO station
will have to handle both Canadian and
United States DISPATCHES. although sta
tons on this continent can relay mes
sages between United Staets and Cana
dian points. The radio system is more
flexible than cable communication. they
point out. and when one station is load
ed part of it's work can be transferred
to another. High speed transmission
will enable the radio stations to carry
great numbers of messages IN PERIODS
free from interference. and practically
no delay is anticipated.
The only other mean of
cation between the Old and New worlds
are the three French cables. which
land Mt Brest. and one commercial ca
BILE to the Azores and Lisbon. which
usually serves the Mediterranean, and
some of them are said to be in poor
shape.
Radio stations in Europe and Eng
land are used for sending and receiv-
ing from specific sections: for exam
pie. the new station at Ongar. Eng
land, serves the continent and Europe.
while that Mt Carnarvon, in Wales, OPP
to Canada and the United States,
and the British postal radio circuit,
near Oxford, handles Egyptian traffic.
American End Ready
It would seem that the Radio Cor
poration of America can handle the
American end of the transatlantic traf-
fic. with little trouble. and the sta
tons at Marion, Mass: Tuckerton and
New Brunswick. N. j., and Fort JEFF
ferson, l.. l., will send, while the re-
ceiving station at Riverhead. l.. l.. will
do the receiving from C%arnarvon. Bor-

pick up daily radio concerts in the bay
region.
w. E. Travis, president of the Cali
fornia Transit company, sent the first
radio equipped bus out on its regular
run to Sacramento and in spite of the
obstacles which confronted the test
enough information was obtained to
warrant further experiments and to
assure Mr.. Travis that radio concerts
would soon be a reality for his pat
rons.
With only a two step radio short
wave receiving outfit and handicap
ped by the necessity of operating with
a low antenna. the bus was able to
pick up San Francisco and Oakland
concerts as far as Martinez.
At Sacramento a test was made by
special arrangement with the Hol-
brecht broadcasting station. 1t was
found that by a sacrifice of speed the
concert was as audible when the bus
was in motion as when it was standing
at the curb.
According to officials of the bus
company and radio men interested in
the tests from a scientific angle, some
refinements will be made. and expert
ments continued until desired results
at varying speeds are obtained.
