Radio Meets Its waterloo.

Evidently there is a limit to what
radio can do despite its almost univer-
sal adaptation to many utilitarian
needs. The sixth report of the en-
gineers investigating the possibilities
of communicating in mines for the De-
partment of Interior points out that
the present means of pure radio COM
munication is impractical under gem
eral mining conditions In making this
report, Bureau of Mines Engineers J.
j. Jakosky and d. II. Zellers state in
part:
Because of the high earth conductive
ity and resultant attenuation of the
hlgh-frequency radio waves in pene-
trating the earth, relatively high
power equipment. which means bulk
and weight. is required Such equip
ment is now believed to be impractical
for general mine communication or for
mine rescue purposes. For reliable
communication by pure radio over dis
tances of even 1000 to 1000 feet
through strata would, in all probabil-
ity, require transmitting equipment
with an output of from so 10 200 watts
or more, and used in conjunction with
sensitive receiver. Such eQuipm ent
would be much too bulky, heavy and
complicated to fulfill the requirements
for practical mine apparatus. In
transmitting, vacuum tubes are the
only present known means of generat-
ing the short-wave high-frequency
continuous currents such as could be
used for voice transmission. The COM
paratively heavy and bulky power
supply for plate current. filament sup
ply and auxiliary apparatus makes
vacuum tube equipment of 80 to 200
watts output considerably heavier.
bulkier and too fragile and delicate for
practical mine communication pur-

Announcer Gets Strange Request.

John E. Fetzer. chief announcer at
WEMC, Berrien Springs, Mich. prob
ably has received more unusual re-
quests from radio listeners than any
other member of his fraternity. Re-
quests have come to him to help To-
cate lost relatives, lost dogs and
stolen automobiles, but last week he
got one asking him to announce to
the world that it should feed the
birds.
1t happened this way: Every tree
and shrub in southern Michigan was
covered with ice. Even the roads
were almost impossible of travel. As
a result dead and starving birds were
found along the country highways
During a regular program a long dis
tance telephone call came to WEMC
requesting the announcer to ask the
farmers and others to throw grain
and crumbs along the road.

from local to national service

advantage to them. Interconnection,

together with some general rise in
