Treat Elm Rough. ''

One of our English cousins, com blaming that the young men of today are being dominated by the supposedly weaker sex. is broadcasting an appeal for the regaining of trousered suprem- acy, and suggests that the best way to accomplish this IS for our youthful stripings to grow whiskePs-if they already are not too effeminate for this strictly male accomplishment.
 While it is undoubtedly true that domination by the female sex is on the increase, we do not believe that it is because the young men of today are be- coming feminized. Rather is it that the young women are becoming more masculine, in looks, actions and accom- plishments. But-glory be to Damo Naturei-there is one thing the girls cannot do. They can't grow whiskers! And in this strictly masculine attribute we may yet find our way out of the bondage into which we have unwitting- ly permitted ourselves to be led.
 Young man, grow whiskersl Not the soft, silky kind affected by. some of our movie sheiks, but the wiry, bristling, corkscrew kind that makes a typical Russian bolshevik look as if he ate keg of teapennv nails tor his breakfast. Never mind about keeping them neat ly trimmed! Let 'em run wild! Culti- vate an air of ferocity with all the hir- sute trimmings, and don't forget to growl ever and auon at the smooth checked upstGrts who have taken to boosting us.
 Treat 'em rough, we say, and begin by growing underbrush and rasps on your chin. Hooray for whiskers!-Ex- change.

 Itcinartz Chosen for Operator
 With these facts in mind, officers of the National Geographic society and Of the American Radio Relay league, worked out plans with John l.. Reinartz, operator of the Bow doin and one of the outstanding ex- ponents of the new short wave theories. It was decided that mem- Der stations of the American Radio Relay league in the United States and Canada or other countries if necessary would act as receiv- ing stations for all of the news and scientific information sent back 10 this country by the expedition. At the same time messages between members of the expedition and their families and friends in the United States would be handled by the amateur radio stations. Hlo Ilull lluo Nplh'd NlluouI lll- terruption throughout the stay of the expedition in the Far North. Daily schedules have been main tained. News dispatches have been handled with a speed that would delight the most critical editor and personal messages have kept the morale of the exploring party and of the families at home at d higher pitch than was ever possible under old conditions.
 From the standpoint of getting news home the radio accomplish ments are ideal. On a recent occa- sion when the airplanes of the ex- petition started out on an eXplora- ton trip at 10;47 in the morning word was sent out from the Bow doin at 11:0S that the planes had just started on three hour run.
 Collins Makes Speed Record
 Received by A. A. Collins. radio station 9CXX. at Cedar Rapids. Iowa, the dispatch was relayed to the headquarters of the National Geographic society in Washington at 11;56 and immediately released to the various news services that cover the country.
 So great was the speed with which the entire transaction was accomplished that many paper: were on the streets of this country with the news before the airplaneE
 had returned to their station witt

RADIO AMATEURS : AIDED MACMILLAN
Unknown Fans Only Ones to Re- >' ceiVe Explorers Messages
Washington, D. C.. Sept.

Washington, D. C., Sept, 12 -- Who Is thls radio amateur?
 Everybody who reads newspapers has been introduced to aim this summer by the line, in virtually every news dispatch about the MacMillan Arctic expedition, which said, This message was trans mltted through amateur station |. . |. operated by ."
 Some nights he was in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; then again he would be at South Manchester, Conn, he ranged from Portland, Oregon. to Portland, Maine, and he showed up in Australia and in England.
 The great majority Of the mes sages given out by the National Geographic society. and many of those made public by the navy de- partment, depended upon these amateurs.
 Burning the Midnight Tubes
 From coast to coast, and from the Gulf to Canada, radio amateurs have been working long hours into the night, taking thousands of words In news dispatches. and also personal messages. and doing 1t ms a gift of service. For the amateurs only recompense is a lively and en- during affection for his hobby ham radio" and a desire to con. tribute further to the radln science he has done so much to develop.
 One of the amateurs who has been most successful in getting WNP. (meaning the wireless sta ton aboard the expeditions flag ship, the Bowdoin) is a 15-year ole schoolboy who took his vacation money to go to Wiscasset, Maine and interview John Reinartz abou short wave sending and receiving Another Is a well-to-do tobacco planter. A third Is successful business man who burns the mid night tubes as his hobby. Most 0 the amateurs, however, are higl school boys.
 Amateur as Old as Radio
 Amateur radio is as old as radi' itself. In the days of the sparl ' transmitter there were a host 0 enthusiasts strivig nightly, witt comparatively inferior equipment to converse with their fellows il nearby towns. There graduall grew up a comaraderie of accomp lishment. These transmitting anna teurs were able to converse wit
New Britain herald., 1925-09-12

each other from town to town by means of the special telegraphic code evolved for radio, |
 As the discoveries of scientists. at work in laboratories, and of anna teurs, at work in their radio shaeks, stretched out the distance over which 1t was possible to converse, there was born the idea of finding a station between two others that were unable to communicate direct ly with each other, and make of the halfway station relay point.
 The development of this idea was the development of the American Radio Relay league. Enthusiastic amateurs banded together to fur nish relay service to their fellow, amateurs and to the public. As the years passed on and the apparatus used in transmitting and receiving units became more efficient this need for relaying became less acute. With this change came another.
 Development of Relay Idea
 Amateur radio stations were add ed 10 the equipment of vessels that had never before considered carry ing radio; portable, low-powered amateur stations became a neces- sity for expeditions to odd corners of the world where other means of communication were limited. These stations away from civiliza- ton and the homeland. because of varying conditions. were not always able to talk with one specified sta- | ton at home. Thus once more the relaying of messages became a matter of prime importance to the transmitting amateur.
 Transmitting over great distances and with low power that makes verbal communication difficult, the radio amateur uses telegraphic code, similar to that used by wire lines. Instead of the familiar clicks of the land line there is a steady flow of short and long buzzes-dots and dashes and as the evening wears on and morning approaches the radio amateur has before him long messages that no other method of communication could bring in SC rapidly.
 Amateur Like Explorer
 When plans were being developed for the present MacMillan eXpedi. ton, officials of the National Geo. graphic society wanted a reliable method of carrying on daily com, munication between the expedition and the United States. A survey ot the possibilities showed that de, pendence might be placed on this amateur who much like the eX plorer, was willing to work Ions hours and endure discomfort fol the love of the game"

expedition stations established con- tact with J, A, Partridge of Lon don, owner of British amateur radio station 2KF. Partridge took a sheaf of messages and immediately re- layed them to D, H.

Pa, Comstock and Pinney, as friends and neighbors Of John Reinartz, operator on the Bowdoin, whose home Is also in South Man chester, hold enyiable records for getting messages through from the Northland and returning answers at the same sitting.
 Throughout the time when the expedition was out of touch with all other kinds of communication, daily news dispatches, messages to and from the members of the party and routine naval messages have had free way on the short wave transmitters and receivers of the transmitting radio amateurs in every country where clarity of re- cepton was possible.
