viii Discuss Transmission
May 16, II and i8.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.--Ac-
cording to a report to the Depart
ment of Commerce, there is to be
an international conference at Mad
rid, Spain, May 16, II and IS, to
discuss intellectual property in radio
transmission. The conference was
called by the Junta Directiva De La
Sociedad De Autores directive Com
mittee OF the Society Of Authors).
All societies OF authors, editorial
syndicates, editors, transmission
companies and radio societies OF
Europe and America will be invited
to send representatives.
The matter is one OF great inter
est to all authors, composers and
artists who perform before the mike,
inasmuch as a movement is now on
to change the laws Of this and other
countries so as to protect perform
ance by radio.
The subject to be discussed at the
conference win be international pro-
lection Of the rights of authors,
composers, to deny such use of their
works, or permit it for considera-
ton, in transmission by radio. The
conference. after affirming these
rights, will ask all nations .adhering
to the convention of Berne to add
to their legislation on intellectual
property articles in conformity with
the findings of the conference.
The powers, according to the an
nouncement, will have to require
broadcasting stations to pay so
much for each program. so much
for each song. composition or other
item Of the program, or percent
age-not less than 10 per cent of
gross receipts.
The meeting Of the congress, the
announcement says, will give the in
ternational press an opportunity. to
debate the legitimacy of using radio
for advertising purposes. and to de
bate rules for receiving as well as
transmitting stations,

WILL TEST SHORT
WAVES FOR NAVY
American Radio League to
Cooperate.

Bv NBA Scrrtce
HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. Ia
The Navy Department has called
upon the American Radio Relay
League to cooperate in experiments
on the practicability of short wave
transmission for naval use.
AS a result f. II. Schnell. traffic
manager OF the A. r. r. l., and an
experienced amateur, is preparing
to accompany the Pacific fleet dur
ing its maneuvers from April to
October.
During that time Schnell will ex-
pertinent with short wave transmit
tiers, especially installed on the
ship to which he will be assigned.
He win try to communicate with
amateurs on a wave length OF 81 or
SIS meters, and will also use two
personal transmitters Of 20 and 40
meters each.
The Navy's intention is to ascer-
tain how the range and capabilities
OF short wave transmitters COM
pare with high power sets. The
success of amateurs in covering con-
siderable distance by day with their
short wave transmitters, while the
longer wave sets seemed to lose
their efficiency, has encouraged the
Navy to try this experiment.
These amateur sets have worked
on one kilowatt power. as against
sets with power as high as 80
lilowatts employed on the United
States ships. Substitution Of a low
wave set with low power, and vet
as great or greater efficiency, would
mean considerable financial saving.
Schnell's testing station on board
ship will have the call letters NRRL.

r. HE vanity of radio broad
VI casters is cropping out in
- their cali letters.
They are having these letters
changed to conform with their in
itials.
Perusal Of the list OF broadcasters
substantiates the point.
OF course ali are subject to- GER
tain limitations. All call letters in
the United States must begin with
K or w, assigned to this country by
the International Radio Conference.
But in this event at least one sta
ton has had the good fortune OF
owning a name that begins with one
of these letters.
It's station WCCO. And so the
Washburn Crosby Company of Min
nesota mad st. Paul has its initials
broadcast in full, unmarried by any
unrelated prefix.
Soon will come station WHIT, a
new high-power broadcaster in Chi
cago, named after William Hale
Thompson, former mayor Of Chicago
and its leading sponsor.
Slogan Initials
On the other hand, Station WGN.
at Chicago. tells the world through
its call letters that the newspaper
owing. it is the Worlds Greatest
Newspaper And Station WEAR in
Cleveland, boasts the products of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
at Akron.
The Detroit Police Department
was perhaps the first station to take
advantage OF this stunt. It's call let
tiers are KOP. appropriate enough,
and the K fits in nicely. But the
New York Police Department has to
be satisfied with WLAW.
In Canada. the Canadian National
Railways has the same advantage
since Canada's call letters must be-
gin with G. So the eight stations
of the G. N. r. have can letters that
begin with CHR and end with a let
ter signifying the city where the
station is located. For instance,
CNRC is at Calgary, CNRE, at Ed
monitor, CNRT at Toronto and so
on.

ADVANTAGES OF BUYING
CURRENT FROM POWER co.
Former Citizen of Dawson Enurner-
ates Benefits to Be Derived.

A former citizen of Dawson who
still feels an interest in the town writes
The News that it will be great mis-
take if arrangements are not made by
the city authorities to get current from
a power company.
Your people are standing in their
own way" he writes, IF you don't
do away with the present system and
purchase power-that is, let the city
buy the current and retail it to the
light and power consumers. This town
owns it's distributing plant, and buys
from the Central Georgia Power Com
pany. Last year the net earnings OF
the plant, after paying for the current
pumping water, lighting the streets,
improvements and repairs and all sal
aries, were nearly $4,000. We have no
expensive break downs, and | think
two hours will cover the longest time
lost from not having current in the
8 wears | have been here, and that
was caused by storms blowing down
wires. Under this system salaries are
kept to a minimum There are no
noise. smoke nor bad odors to worry
the people as there are in Dawson. We
have not been bothered by the drouth
curtailing the company's output OF
current.

CITY HEARS OFFER
OF POWER COMPANY

WANT FRANCHISE FOR Pc
ROD OF THIRTY YEARS.

At a special session OF the city
council Monday night, called for the
purpose OF hearing an offer from the
Stone and Weber interests, who oper-
ate the Columbus Electric and Power
Company, to give Dawson hydro-elec-
trio power, Mr.. H. w Patterson, rep
resenting that company appeared be-
fore the members and submitted
proposition to buy the city's present
plant and equipment, including the
lines and poles, and sell the city lights
for street purposes at two cents per
kilo watt. The domestic consumers
would be charged approximately the
same rate they are now paying.
Mr.. Patterson stated that his COM
pany would then install the line and
sub-station without any expense to
the city. However. they would require
thirty-year franchise. To this the
council objected, and Mr.. Patterson
was told that the city would not be
willing to sell its plant or grant
franchise, but that a proposition to put
power on the switchboard OF the city
would be entertained. 1t was decided
to have Mayor Worthy also inform
the power company to this effect to-
day (Tuesday), and that the city ex-
pected to take action at the regular
meeting of the council tonight on a
to buy an engine from the
city OF Thomasville, provided the pow
er company coltld not make better
The engine at Townsville can be
bought and installed for approximate
ly $1,000 including freight and belt
ing. This engine was replaced by a
larger one, and with the exception OF
a few minor repairs is in good condi-
ton.
