The Wonderful Radio Game
BY Henry s. Williams

WAS there ever in the world
w another game like the
radio game that all the boys
and many Of the girls--to say
nothing of thousands Of their
elders-are now playing? 1t
Is the most mysterious of
games, and yet the simplest.
Let me cite an illustration
that will show at once the
mystery and the simplicity Of
Il.
A few days ago Major Edwin

Gus as the discoverer OF the
important feed back" princi-
pie which gives us the 30
called regenerative circuit in
the radio receiver, announced
a new discovery which en-
ables him to make one vac.

apparatus before the Society
OF Radio Engineers and then
gave a more popular lecture,
with demonstration, before the
