CERTIFICATES CONTROL
AUSTRALIAN RADIOS

A novel method has Just been
adopted by the Australian common
wealth wireless authorities for pro-
etsting broadcasting stations, says
a report to the Department Of Com
merce from Assistant Trade Commits
sioner Elmer G. Pauly, Melbourne.
The regulations recently promul-
gated require that every prospective
purchaser of q receiving set must
present to the radio goods dealer a
certificate of license showing that
he has subscribed to the service of
the station operating on the wave
length to which the instrument be-
ing purchased Is adjusted.
II a radio enthusiast desires to
listen in" on additional programs
he can have his receiving set so adj
justed, but only on the production
of certificates showing that he has
made separate subscription to each.
At recent conference of FEEDER
al authorities, manufacturers, broad
casting companies and dealers, the
adoption Of a uniform device for
sealing receiving sets was decided
upon. While the sealed set regula-
tons may be defeated by certain
owners Of receiving sets the Govern
mnt, however, has authority to
make surprise inspections of every
set to see that the seals have not
been tampered with. 1t is under.
stood, that the sealing device which
Is added locally will in no way inter-
fere with the sale Of American radio
sets in Australia.

LEARNS PRONUNCIATION
FROM RADIO SPEECHES

One way Of quickly learning the
pronunciation of the English Ian
guage is to listen to radio speak
ers and announcers, according to
Daniel Moreno, a Mexican student
who is now struggling with English
idioms at New York University.
1T is very fine" he says. II had
thought the Americans would laugh
at my poor English, but they do
not. I write all your very funny
idioms in my little book and study
them. I live with an American
family and what do you think? In
the evening l study the correct
pronunciation Of your language on
your radio. I sit and listen all eve-
ming and sometimes I say the words
after the speakers.

work at chemistry and to tell my
friends of your wonderful hospi.

SECRET
CODE
Comb Air for Messages Sent
From Hidden Stations to
Ships Off Shore.

Radio is the latest agency to be
Incorporated by Roy A. Haynes,
Federal Prohibition Commissioner,
among the forces mobilized by the
nations Government to enforce the
provisions of the Volstead Act.
More than six months ago it be-
came known to prohibition agents
and representatives Of the United
States customs service that among
the ships Of the rum fleet off the
New Jersey Coast were a number
. Of vessels equipped with radio ap-
paratus.
Secret Code Found.
At various times messages from
off the coast were intercepted.
These messages were in code.
They were broadcast at hours when
radio activity was at it's minimum.
When first picked up, it is said,
the impression prevailed they were
of commercial origin. A check-up
of registered codes proved them
unrelated in that direction and set
Government radio operators to
work in an effort to decode them.
How far they succeeded cannot
be learned.
It is understood, however, the
results obtained convinced the in.
vestigators of their origin and the
illegal purpose being served. Since
then, it is said, the atmosphere
has been finely combed in widely
extended effort to intercept such
messages.
Radio operators at Philadel-
phia, Wilmington, Del, and Nor
folk, Va, say they are convinced
certain disturbances detected are
caused by rum fleet radio opera,
ators either communicating with
shore pionts or transfer ships"
engaged in landing operations.
It is known but that recently a
group of New York bootleggers es-
tablished branch headquarters at
Bermuda. Included in the equip
ment carried by them was an elab-
crate radio outfit. The island,
upon British rule, offers every ad-
vantage, it is claimed, for the de-
velopment Of radio activities
Among the party going over, it is
understood, are two men formerly
attached to the Italian radio SER
vice who served in the Italian navy
during the World War.
The use of radio by the rum fleet,
1t is believed, furnishes an explana-
tion for the frequency with which
some Of the best laid plans to To-
cate and capture it in operation
have miscarried.
