In connection with the Haitian edu-
cational program, American High
Commissioner John Russell reports to
the Secretary of State that the Haitian
government has appropriated funds
for the erection of broadcasting sta

1t is the plan to install receiving sets
In the market places of the important
towns, where the people assemble on
market days. Short talks in Creole,
the language of the illiterate peasants,
will be delivered on such subjects as
education. the Haitian laws and agri-
cultural problems, such as planting
and caring for coffee and cotton, as
well as the cultivation and care of
other native crops and animals. When
practicable, musical and other enter
tainment will be provided with view
OF diverting the people and making

No. J.-What's Il Watt?

Announcement Of the opening OF q
new 500,uatt transmitting station
brought Smith TO the realization that
he was talking about watts without
the slightest knowledge of what they
are.
The watt" l explained, lis the
name for the unit of electric power"
Whats that" he queried. Il
always thought voltage was power.
They tell me the 110-volt house cur.
rent will shock me. and l can see for
myself that the higher the voltage
the more the electricity does. Isn't
that power?"
Smith was entertaining popular
misconception. A volt is the unit of
electrical pressure, and is not in itself
power. ii is simply one of the fac
tors or elements in electrical power.
Voltage Is a condition that may exist
without anything happening, while
power is activity.
Here | asked Smith to 90 back to
the simple definitions of work and
power. lie agreed that he had heard
the power of steam engines and OF
steamships rated in terms of watts
and. realizing that they had nothing
TO do with electricity, was willing to
consider the watt as a general term
before trying 70 understand its rela-
ton TO electricity and radio.
Explains Meaning of Force.
"A force can exist without anything
happening. and SO can a pressure,
l endeavored to explain. When this
force acts through space. however.
work is accomplished. When force
is capable of lifting pound of some
mass through a distance OF one foot
we speak Of zone foot-pound of work
as having been done. Work, there
fore, can be defined as activity. 1t is
accomplishment. OF course, you can
view it as something about TO be ac-
complished in which case you can
speak of work as something stored
for possible use. You can speak of a
machine, or of some form of energy,
as being capable of so much work,
even though 1t may not do this work
at the time.
Pressure is sometimes defined as
a measure of the force acting upon
some surface. In electricity pressure
is the measure of difference in degree
of electrificati tion between the positive
and negative poles of batteries, dyna-
mos or whatever electrical generators
or storage units you are considering.
Pressure IN electricity Is called volt
age. What / want you to see is that
this voltage is something of a mate
to the term work used in simple
physics. For all practical purposes
and putting theory aside, you can say
that an electrical machine or battery
is capable of doing so much work,
since its pressure, which is it's own
particular variety of force, will act
through space or wiring when doing
such work. This is what happens
when a bolt of lightning demolishes
q building that would take an enor-
nous amount Of mechanical work to
accomplish.
"If you have followed me this far
you are ready to know what is meant
by the term power Here, again. I'll
