DIRECTION CONTROL
PROVES POSSIBILITY
English Station Conducts Expert
ment in "Direct Ray" Radio
Transmission.

HARTFORD, Conn, July 9.-"Di-
ing conducted by the Marconi station
at Foldhu, England, have aroused a
great deal of interest among anna
teurs of the American Radio Relay
League in the eastern part of the
country who have heard these signals
on "a meters. The call 2YT Identifies
the messages as coming from the test
station.
This method of transmission which
signals in a given direction Is accom-
plished by a system Of reflection SINH
lar to that used for directing a light
beam. The radio waves are sent out
from the station toward definite
point of the compass with the help or
a network of wires near the antenna,
placed in such fashion that they act
as a reflector.
The idea can be visualiZed by COM
pairing the antenna system of the di-
rectional sending station with an au-
tomobile headlight or a similar light
ing scheme with lamp and reflector.
The antenna should be thought of
as the light and the network of wires
determining the direction as the re-
fecting surface.
BY this novel means Of transmit
ting radio waves it is claimed that
greater distances can be covered with
the same power, as we'll as being con-
centrated definitely toward the re-
ceiving station. There is a rumor
that work on the construction OF the
high-power link in the British En-
pire wireless chain in Australia has
been halted pending the definite out
come of these experiments.

OF MCCORMICK CASE
Another Wealthy Man Addressed

CHICAGO, July 9.-While federal

investigation OF the sending Of let

Cornick demanding $4,000. detec-
tiyes working on the case revealed
that another wealthy man living a
short distance from Chicago had also
received a similar missive. The name
Of the recipient was not disclosed.
Detectives said, however, that he
lives near the Mccormick home in
Ogle county and that his letter asked
that he pay $4,000 to insure "a long
and happy life" The letter to the
McCormicks demanded the money to
insure their future happiness. The re-
cipient of the second letter was told
that he would receive a letter July 6,
telling him where to place the
money. This letter was never re-
ceived, however.
The letter was written on ruled
paper and that to the McCormicks on
unruled paper. Both kinds Of paper
were found, detectives said, in the
rooms Of George Peeks and his son,
Clarence, who are charged with at
tempted extortion in connection with

HARTFORD, Conn. July 9.-The
pan on amateur radio telegraph
transmission in Sweden has just been
inteo py the government. and thirty
licenses for transmitting stations
nave nave been issued, says Bruno Rolf of
that country in letter to the Amer
lean Radio Relay League Mr. Rolf
is secretary of the Svenska Radio
klubben Swedish Radio Club).
The number of listeners has grown
rapidly the last few months, as this
organization now has 1900 members.
All receiving sets are licensed by
the government, 10000 licenses hav-
ing been issued since the new regu-
lations were passed.
There is still great deal of con-
fusion "in the air." and the Swedish
club is cooperating with the trans
nittfng amateurs to provide for a
fair division of wave lengths. 1t
appears that the regulations affect
ing sending sets are of general
nature. and many conflicting ques-
tions have to be decided upon.
Regulation of this kind of traffic
comes under the direction of the
Swedish telegraph department. which
has just decided that amateur sta
tions must use SM as the first two
letters in their call. This is neces-
sary to identify the amateur who is
transmitting as Swedish operator.
AS yet, few amateur stations have
succeeded in getting out very great
distances. The best record is that of
DR.. G.. Alb. Nilsson, Skolgaten 5.
Lund, Sweden. His station was heard
in England when transmitting with
rs ampere in his antenna. The
power was obtained from four re-
current on the plate. DR.. Missions
