buildings, trees and all other objects,
a substance which we can neither feel
nor see and which we know exists
only because of the phenomena which
only the existence of such d medium
makes possible.
Produces Interferences.
Through it's existence we can pro-
duce disturbances or variations of cur
rent in a complete, electrical oscillat-
ing circuit at the transmitter and
send out electromagnetic and electro
static waves through this ether
which will in turn affect a properly
adjusted receiving circuit and pro-
duce in the receiving circuit current
which is the counterpart of the one
in the oscillating circuit of the trans
mitter.
This current in the receiving circuit,
after proper treatment through am
differs and detector, becomes the
same type of current that is present
in a regular telephone circuit and pro-
duces an audible sound through its
action on the diaphragm Of tele-
phone receiver or lOudspeaker.
The telephone and radio circuit are
the same, fundamentally. The differ
ence between the two lies Alainly in
the circuits and medium which is used
to transmit the electrical impulses of
the transmitter circuit to the receiver
circuit. In the telephone q simple
wire circuit is used while in the radio
circuit the transmitter current must
be changed into high frequency cur
rent before 1t can be transmitted
through the ether and received at
the receiver end. The steps taken by
the voice waves or the equivalents
in the radio system will be described
in tomorroW's article.

Radio Fundamentals for the Layman.
Part III.


The telephone transmitter is re-
sistance-operated instrument In Wh1cn
the vibration produced in its dla-
phragm by impinging sound waves
cause the diaphram to press with a
greater or lesser force on carbon
button through which current from
p circuit is made to flow. The vary
ing resistance of the button causes
a variation in the cairrent flowing In
the external circuit Nand the charac-
teristics of the current flow CORE
sponds in frequency and amplitude
carnations with the sound waves
which impinge on TIE tranSmitter dia'
uhragm so that if the sound waves
and electrical waves produced were
plotted, the one would correspond to
1.-The other. After the sound waves
are changed into electrical waves,
the next problem is to change the
electrical waves into sound waves at
the receiving end.
This is done by using the electro
magnetic principle that magnetic pull
produced in an electromagnetic is pro-
portional to the current flowing
through the windings of the magnet.
Attracts Diaphragm.
The current in the external circuit
in which the transmitter button is
connected is made to pass through
the windings of an electromagnet in
whose field another diaphragm is
placed. The core of the electromag-
net attracts the diaphragm in proper
ton to the amount of current flowing
in the circuit.
In other words, sounds of varying
frequency and amplitude produce a
current of varying frequency and am.
plitude in the electrical circuit and
these in turn produce vibrations of
the diaphragm at the receiving end
which cause sound waves to be pro-
duced by vibrating the air around the
diaphragm.
That is the principle on which the
ordinary telephone works. In radio
we have to go another step because
o. direct electrical circuit. using wiring
connections between the transmitter
and the receiver is out of the ques-
ton.
Without going into detailed ex--
plantations and theories regarding the
existence of the ether, we will take
it for granted that there exists

DISAPPEARANCE
OF TWO LINKED
kentucky Ave. Men Missing
Three Weeks.

Police today attempted to link to-
gether the mysterious disappearance
of John Kurtz, SIS, of 1903 Belle
fontaine ST., and Foo Lee, proprietor
of a Chinese laundry at AZ Kentucky
Ave.
Kurtz, who for years was proprie-
Tor Of a shoe repair shop at 81 Ken
lucky Ave, next door to the laundry,
was last seen March 20. His daugh-
Ter, Mrs. Alice Orr, with whom he
lived. fears her father is dead. She
stated he had been in Ill health for
Eome time before he disappeared, and
might have taken his life. Theory
that he might be an amnesia victim
was advanced.
Lieut.. Fred Drinkut, Sergt. Ed.
Deeter and Patrolman Stoddard
broke into the laundry when it be-
came known that Lee had not been
seen for three weeks. 1t was feared
the two missing men would be found
dead in the basement Of the laundry.
Kurtz was said to have visited the
laundry. 1t is said both Kurtz and
Lee were respondent because a real
ty company sold the lease on their
rooms.
A search failed to reveal any trace
Of either Lee or Kurtz.

SHIPPING BOARD HAS
 OTHER ACCUSATIONS
Today is Accused of Intimidating Ship Owners Into Withdrawing
 Recommendations

Washington, March 16 I1 --- In addition to all Of its other troubles the shipping board was accused to- day of intimidating ship owners into Withdrawing their recommendations for reorganization of the board and the fleet corporation.
 Chairman Scott Of the house merchant marine committee told the committee at a hearing that such charges had been laid before him by owners of American vessels. He did not name them.
 The ship owners complained that the board had threatened to with. draw concessions, the chairman said, unless they changed their at- tttude on shipping legislation as ex- pressed at the national merchant marine conference held in Washing ton last November under the aus pices of the chamber of commerce of the United States.
 Chairman Scott's statement was made after s. Davis of the commit tee that his organization previously had recommended divorcement of the fleet corporation and shipping board. and the establishment of re- g,onal advisory boards, but now deemed 1t better not 10 urge the regional arrangement.
 The board. for the first time, seems to be going along on a pretty even keel, said Davis.

Six nephews of Mrs Benedict Mu- sante Of 495 Church street. well known New Britain resident and Il member of one of this city's oldest Italian families acted as her pail bearers at the funeral this morning at 9 o'clock.
