The chair was made possible
through the gift of G.. G. Stillman of
New York a member OF the class of
1898. Prof. Murray will deliver q
series of eight or more lectures.
Under Mr.. Stillman's gift, the term

poetic expression in language. music
and the fine arts. such as painting,

CHICAGO INVENTOR
SPLITS RADIO WAVE
Prospect Seen for SimuItane-
Gus Use of One Length by
Many Transmitters.


CHICAGO, February l9-Possibil.
ity of the simultaneous use by two OF
more radio transmitters of Identical
wave lengths is seen by engineers
in the announcement of an inven
ton by l.. William Skala. youthful
graduate of the engineering schools
of the University of Prague. Based
upon what was said to he heretofore
unknown wave length fundamentals,
the device performed without a hitch
IN Skala S laboratory at BerWyn, a
suburb.
Engineers attached 10 station
NMAQ of the Chicago Daily News
said after the first public demonstra-
tlon of the station separator" that
should it prove as successful in actual
use It would provide an infinite num-
her of lanes for broadcast telephony.
In addition. it was declared that it
would make possible wireless teleph-
ony for all purposes where wire SerV-
Ice now is used
Two laboratory tranSmitterS aud an
ordinary tuned radio frequency re
Ceiver were used in the test. The
tIanSmitterS We're set at the same
frequency and the receiver tuned to
their wave length. The usual beat
note, or whistle as the listener reCog
niZes it, was heard. Then three of
the devices, sealed and resembling Il
crystal set on the outside, We're at
tached to each of the tranSmitterS
and the receiver. Although a wave
meter showed that the two transmit
IerS We're still tuned to the same
wave length, the engineers reported
that the turning of IA dial on the
auxiliary box attached to the receiver
cut out one tranSmitter and brought
IN the other without interference.
Skala, in brief explanation Of his
invention. said that no changes in the
IaSic circuits of preSent-ddy appa :
lituS were necessary. He said that
the outfit consisted of a simple COM
hination of capacity and inductance
that functioned through properties of
the wireless wave other than ampli-
tude and harmonics. 1t was mechan-
ically worked out after he had per-
1ected a mathematical formula. He
declined to so into details other than
To say that the number of portions
into which frequency or wave length
could be split to accommodate trans
mitters was virtually infinite
It was further declared that uni
versal use of the apparatus would
solve the receiver set relativity prob
lem that has become the worry of
practically every radio listener with
air
A later test under actual operating
conditions Is being planned.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. February 10.
Harvard has received two valuable
collect1onS-one n group of 10000
post cards representing q detailed
record of architectural design, sculp-
ture and painting in the museums of
eastern Europe. and the other, 100
packs of old playing cards.
The post cards, which go to the
FoSg Art Museum, are the gift of
the collector, Henry Russell Hitch.
cock. a member of the department
of fine arts IN Harvard College.
The playing cards are given by
James f.. Whitney to the Widener
Library. Some of them date back
to the early sixteenth century and
are considered highly valuable as
specimens of early printing. Designs
on the backs include curious carica-
lures and political cartoons of a
Satirical nature.

Chief Radio Supervisor w. d. Terrell.
Without revealing the identity of
the principal offenders, Mr.. Terrell to-
day let it be known that a lot of his

the too verbose guardians of the micro
