NAVY RADIO PATENTS
WILL HELP BUILDERS
Coolidge's Action in Making These
Available to Civilians Called
Advanced Step.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.


CHICAGO, November 4.-President
Coolidge's action in throwing open
the radio patents owned by the Navy
department for use by oil reputable
radio manufacturers under reciprocal
use agreements was hailed today by
Maj. Herbert Fl. Frost, president of
the Radio Manufacturers AsSocia- :
tIpn, as a tremendously favorable
step in tho advanceUent of radio.
The association has been working for
Several months to obtain licenses for
all radio manufacturers to use the
patents.
The Presidents action is based on
an opinion of the Attorney General
under which the Navy Department

for an agreement by the manufac-
turer to permit the Navy Department
90 use any patent which he may now
control or obtain control of in the
future
Several years ago the Navy issued
q. license to Westinghouse interests
20 use Navy radio patents in return
for the naval use of the Westing-
house patents A short time later
about 40 manufacturers applied for
similar licenses and the Navy De-
partment referred the matter to the
Attorney General for an opinion as to
whether they might properly be is
sued. The matter has been entirely
q a standstill since that time, until
the manufacturers association,
through it's general counsel, Ernest
j. Richmann, began an investiga-
ton to learn why no action had been
taken.
The Presidents action will protect
the radio listener, tend to stabilize
tho industry, and eventually result
in lower prices, according to Maj
Frost.

upon and incorporating the good fea-
lures OF existing languages
The FIRST attempt of this kind was
made by Johann Martin Schleyer OF
Constance, Baden, who invented, about
1873, new artificial language which
he called Voiapuk, meaning world
language"
The vocabulary Of this artificial
language might be called linguistic
nash, being composed of words from
the English, Latin, German and other
languages, cut down and manipulated
to form very simple, unaltering Ian
guage which could be learned with
comparative ease.
The next step along the same lines
was taken by Zamenhof, a Russian,
who applied to the language he
evolved the name Esperanto, a
pseudonym which he used. The word
itself means a "hoper" or hoping
person"-that is. one who hopes. This
language was formed in much the
same way as Volapuk by incorpora-
tion and manipulation of words of ex-
istinS languages. 1t dates its life
back to about 1879.
The latest step in this direction Is
the international language known az
"Ilo." Perfected in 1908, it is claimed
that 1t is great Improvement over
Esperanto.
Just now the fight between the ad-
vocates of Esperanto and Ilo Is wag-
ing hot and furious. each faction
claiming its particular brand of inter-
national language to be the best and
most practical for common use.
1t is difficult to say which side will
win out. If you want to get the latest
news on the subject, with all the ad-
vanages and disadvantages of the
warning factions, write to the Ora

VIII History Repeat It~elfs

Ever since the confounding of the
tongues of mankind at the time of
the building of the Tower Of Babel,
many attempts have been made to
repair the damage done then by try
ing to get some language, either dead.
existent or artificial, which could be
used as a common language by all
the people of the earth.
Many a student struggling through
the mazes of nouns, verbs and ad-
verbs and all the various ramifica-
modern. has silently invoked a male
diction ag sinst those who gummed
up the works by making it neces-
sary to split up mankind into people
of many languages.
Many a tourist with a very, very
limited knowledge of the language
of the country through which he is
travelling has had brought sharply to
his attention the need Of some COM
mon language that could be used on
such occasions without having to re-
sort to pantomime to make his needs
, understandable to those with whom
he has had to deal.
Many advantages have been ad-
vanced for a language which could
be spoken by everybody, and the need
for such language has been brought
forth especially at this time because
of the far-reaching influence of radio
OF course, it would be easy enough
for every one to learn a standard
language, such as English, beside the
native language, and SO in time have
common language. This, however
is not as easy as 1t sounds. National
jealousies and stubbornness to adopt
a foreign language as a standa rd
make such an arrangement well nigh
impossible. The other altern tive has
been to use an incident or so-called
dead language" Such iangu ges
however. are not adapted for modern
use, and the idea has been thrown
overheard.
The latest method is that of max
ing up an artificial language based
