Since the recent appearance OF

many radio fans have been wonder
ing why so few Americans are sing

plains the reason. Says Mr.. Kitchen.

some similar position in Italy by re-

Mr.. Gatti draws q salary equal to
that of President Coolidge but he

Engineers Reject
Radio for Use
In Mine Work

The sixth report of the engineers
investigating the possibilities Of
communicating in mines for the
Department OF Interior points out
that the present means OF pure
radio communication is impractical
under general mining conditions.
In making this report. Bureau OF
Mines Engineers j. ]. Jakosky and
d. II. Zellers state In part:
Because OF the high earth con.
ductivity and resultant attenua-
ton OF the high-frequency radio
waves In penetrating the earth,
relatively high-power equipment,
which bulk and weight, is
required. Such equipment is o
believed to be impractical for gen.
eral mine communication or for
mine-rescue purposes. For reliable
communication by pure radio over
distances of ever 1000 to 1000
feet through strata would in all
probability require transmitting
equipment with an output of from
80 to 200 watts OF more, and used
in conjunction with a sensitive
receiver.
"Such equipment would be much
too bulky, heavy and complicated
to fulfill the requirements for a
practical mine apparatus. In trans
hitting, vacuum tubes are the only
present known means of generating
the short wave, high frequency.
continuous currents such as could
be used for voice transmission. The
comparatively heavy and bulky
power supply or plate current fila
ment supply and auxiliary appara-
tus makes vacuum tube equipment

ably heavier. bulkier and too fragile
and delicate for practical mine
communication purposes"

to do and how to do It.
Many interesting cases have oc-
Cured since this novel way Of
treating the sick at sea was start
ed by the Public Health Service
through its marine hospitals.
In one instance a freighter near
ing the port of Baltimore devel-
oped engine trouble, and was forced
to anchor off an uninhabited stretch
of coast. One Of her crew fell
through an open hatchway and
suffered a fracture of the leg. The
radio was brought into play and
the message picked up by a sta
ton at Cape May. N. j.. The sta
ton advised the Marine Hospital
at Baltimore by long-distance tele-
phone. with the result that an am
bulance was sent Immediately to
the place where the disabled ship
lay, which was some fifteen or
twenty miles away from the hos
pital. Doctors directed the re-
moval of the seaman from the ship
and took him to the hospital.
There r many more cases even
more interesting. Frequently the
Public Health Service through its
marine hospitals ~prescribes a meth
cd OF treatment for sick persons
at sea administered over a period
of days. Regular messages are
transmitted reporting on the pa
tents condition and asking for
further instructions. OF course. in
recommending treatment for peo-

are resorted to. Even SO. much

In the studio Of KGO, miles away
from the schools, at a given time.
the radio teacher spoke her instruc-
tions before the microphone. She
began by briefly suggesting the
Christmas spirit and the beauty of
It's expression IN art. Then, she
proposed to her invisible pupils that
they set about creating Christmas
greeting cards for their friends.
They were requested, however, to
conform to the general principles of
proportion, massing and values
which are accepted as fundamental
in the art Of design.
Step by step in the next lesson
the radio teacher explained how to
cut a Christmas tree in black paper
silhouette. rightly proportioned to
fit into the background already pre-
pared. Great enthusiasm was
shown. Some of the trees, cut out
Of paper, were long and slim, some
were pointed with gothic grace,
some widespread and protective,
some exaggerated for an effect OF
humor, some containing many fan
tastic branches, and some were
smooth in outline as though bur
dened with snow.
In the minds of the examining
judges, "the experiment revealed
not only the latest emotional quail
tiles of young people as artists, but
offered a lesson on methods OF
teaching as to secure intellectual
criticism and balance in children's
creative are without bringing
about the destruction of originality"
By radio lessons the children re-
ceived suggestions through their
ears. and sent out the response to
create through eager, busy fingers.
No model was offered TO the eye.

took place that transmutation which
