Dream Will Be Realized in
Another Year, Manu-

By JOSEPH D. R. FREED
President Freed Eisemann Radio Corn,

President Freed Eisemann Radio Corn.
At the end Of 1925, when we speak
Of "the radio audience" we may well
say we are referring to the entire ma
ton.
Then, actually, the whole country
can listen in at the one time, to broad
casting from many stations, and on
very important occasions may also
hear single event broadcasted
through an augmented link Of leading
stations in many states.
Contributing to the possibility OF
having a really national audience are
such factors as the vast increase in
the number of receiving sets, the high
er power of many stations, and the
splendid programs. including the prin-
cipal happenings in politics. science,
music and athletics.
NOT STRICTLY TRUE YET.
We have heard it reported, f.. IN
stance, when the President speaks,
that the entire country is listening
in" That has not been true; it could
not possibly be true. We would have
to assume, just to mention one phase
of the situation, that all people were
supplied with sensitive receivers and
listening at 1000 or more mile range,
as millions would have to.
However, probably as high a. 90
100000 persons may have been reach
ed. A vast audience heard the night
sessions Of the national political con-
ventions in 1924 and are hearing pro-
grams broadcast through chain Of sta
tions. But the fact is up to the pres
ent we certainly have not had truly
national audience, not even for the
worlds series baseball when 100 sta
tons broadcasted the news direct from
Pittsburgh or Washington, either
transmitting the voice Of the announc-
er or reading the returns as they came
in over the telegraph wire, which was
done in the afternoons when only a
small part Of the public could listen.
Just the same. it is equally true
that, with the tremendous interest in
radio now being manifested. another
year will see the vision realized, and
no one can foretell what other won
derS are IN store.
RADIOS GROWTH.
In its short but Illuminating history
radio has passed through two stages in
its development, from the standpoint
Of public interest.
First, the boys took up radio as a
hobby, studying wireless code and then
building crystal receivers to hear the
early broadcasting experiments.
Second, their fathers, amazed at the
marvels, delights and potentialities OF
radio, became enthusiasts.
In those days just a few yeae
back, the women of the house were
Mortified at seeing all kinds Of queer
looking apparatus cluttering up the
tables or turning the spare room
topsy-turvy. There is no question
but that the fair sex regarded radio
as more or less Of a nuisance.

FRAMED
WALLS BLOCK
RECEPTION
By DIR. FULTON CUTTING

We read in the newspapers of poo
pie receiving radio programs in safe
deposit vaults, in subway tubes unier
rivers, or under the sea in submarines.
There is no question about this; but If
someone were to say it was impossible
he would be just about right. 1t can
be done, but SO badly that it is hardly
worth talking about. Metal and salt
water block radio waves very effect
lively.
However, they don't do it 100 per
cent, and if we have very strong
waves from a local station and a very
sensitive receiver We can receive sig
mails in places where the task would
seem hopeless.
Steel buildings are generally poor
places for receiving. The radio waves
rebound from the steel framework and
very little penetrates into the interior
of the structure. The rebounding Of
the waves is a physical phenomenon
identical with the reflection Of light
from a mirror. 1t must be remember.
ed that radio waves and light waves
are one and the same thing.

HOW STEEL REFLECTS.

They are both what physicians call
electromagnetic waves, only light
waves are about a billion times short
er than radio waves Of the length used
ID broadcasting.
Much has been written, both mathe-
matically and otherwise, on metallic
reflection Of light waves. The theory
applies TO radio waves. Simply stated,
it is this. When an electromagnetic
wave strikes a metallic surface it in
duces electric currents in the surface
and these currents are such as 10
start a new electromagnetic wave IN
the opposite direction. If the metal is
good conductor there is very little
loss caused by this action and the r.

as the original wave. The electrical

CAN HUNT DUCKS SAYS
STATE; CAN'T SAYS THE
FEDERAL DEPARTMENT

Despite the fact hal the federal
and state game laws have confiicted
for years, here we have another set
of laws governing wild game and
hunters which conflict. 1t would
seem that Wyoming legislative mem-
bers would at least have time to
read the federal game laws before
passing Wyoming laws, to see that
they would conform one to the
other.
Recently game licenses were is
sued permitting sage chicken hunt
ing between certain dates. yet an
edict from the state game commits
sion changed these dates. However,
nc case resulted in court.
Last Wednesday was the opening
