It is not possible to predict from
day to day whether something that
appears to be only an experiment
viii become practical reality in
radio.
For several months I have been
looking into. and following up. the
Jenkins theory of radio photog-
raphy. There is no question but
that Jenkins has solid foundations
for future development.
Still pictures already have been
transmitted about 100 miles with
very good results, considering first
that We're present in the air while
transmission was going on.
Problems Relate to Speed.
There are two, phases in the de-
velopment: The still picture must
necessarily precede the motion pic
ture; the motion picture by radio
would involve the rapid presenta-
ton OF series Of slow pictures,
and the problems relating to radio
motion pictures are those of speed.
Transmission Of pictures by radio
will be Of great national value, and
when perfected and organized, 1t
will be possible to reproduce pic
lures Of news events very soon
after the events happen.
It will be possible for newspapers
and motion picture theaters to pres
ent these pictures to the public all
over the country within an hour or
two after the events take place.
It is not possible to predict rust
when all of this will be accomplish
ed. but the results already obtained
indicate that within a reasonable
time the successful development OF
this feature Of radio will be made.
Trying Out Denies.
Another important phase is that
experiments are. under way, which
indicate that news may be sent by
radio ard received directly and au-

The same device win also be ar
ranged Sol that absolutely secret

The United States Bureau of
Standards Is carrying on. expert
ments with shorter. wave lengths
which, when completed. may open
up entirely new methods and ideas
in radio.

N. J. MAN BUYS
Y. M. G.. A. CAMP

Rockland. Me-. Feb. 22-The State
executive committee Of the Young
Mems Christian association OF
Massa chusetts and Rhode Island has
sold what is known as the "Camp
Durrell' property in the town OF
Gushing, Friendship Harbor. to
Glenn A. Stokes Of East Orange. y.
u This island is recorded on the
state and Federal charts as Crotch
Island. but was called by the camp
ers Moody Island because Of the
donor. Miss Moody Of Bath.
From 1901 to 1916 Camp Durrell
was operated by the Massachusetts
State committee. with approximately
$50 boys there at time. and the
total attendance running above zoo
different boys each summer. Plans
tWere made for the continuance Of the
camp in 1917. burt the participation
OF the United States in the war made
immediate demand upon all Y. NJ. C..
A. workers. and there was also the
difficulty Of transportation in the
Withdrawal of the Portland-Rock-
land boat. The Massachusetts and
Rhode Island committee offered the
island to the navy as n recuperation
point for cOnvalescent sailors and
while informally accepted, 1t was
never used. because Of the difficulties
OF access by the larger navy boats.
Later some of the equipment was
loaned to the commonwealth of
Massachusetts in 1918 at the time of
the great flu epidemic.
In the summers Of 1921 and 1922 a
small private boys camp was oper-
ated on the island by Theodore Bea-
ven of the Wellesley, Massachusetts,.

House Sustains
Governors Veto on
Fire Wardens' Act

The House OF Representatives at
the Thursday morning session unani-
mOusly sustained Governor Baxter IN
his first veto of this Legislature, in
| which he returned without his APP
prevail an act giving forest fire
wardcns authority to make any per-
son take part IN fighting forest fires.
THE existing provision of law au-
thoriZes the fire wardens to summon
| any citizen t. their assistance, which
| in itself is unusual. but where no pen
| atty is provided for refusing to obey
| the summons the law cannot he
| abused" said the Governor in his
veto message. I'm my opinion, how
! ever. to place the proposed power in
the hands of Star, employees is both
dangerous and unwise. The law as
! it reads today is in the nature of a
, draft law. and the amendment would
give too much power to the en-
ployccs of state departments *"
