The Coming of TeIeyision,

It has been estimated that television
that seventh and greatest wonder
Of the scientific world-wiI be per.
fected within years time. This
probably is the most optimistic view
ever taken of the developing of wire.
less transmission of pictures, but so
much has happened in the radio
world within the past few months that
few doubt at least the possibilities in
this prediction.
The most conservative observers Of
the remarkable demonstrations which
recently have been given in bringing
this development to the attention Of
officials, business men and financial
interests place the time interval at
seven years. Even this sounds like
an incredibly short space of time for
the commercial perfection of so revolu.
tionary an adjunct to public and pri-
yate life.
How many radioists knew anything
about radio seven years ago? This
is something worth considering when
weighing the predictions regarding
teievision. Radio was many cons in
being discovered, but once it per.
meated the thought of the scientific
and commercial mind it was an almost
unbelievably short time in the making.
Only few years ago radio was an
amazing thing to the average person.
Even those persons who were &C.
customed to the best and most modern
the world had to offer marveled at
the new development and most re.
luctantly admitted that there might
be such a thing.
Today radio Is a commonplace. The
finest sets in the modern homes are
hardly topics for discussion. One is
out of date If there is no radio in the
home, and it Is taken for granted as
electric lights or any other conven.
fence. The chief concern is with better
programs brought in with less trouble.
One of the things that will force
television to the front is It's com
mercial possibilities. 1t has attracted
the heads of telephony, biography,
transportation, journalism and bank
ing. It's miracle too soon may be a
daily commonplace

The necessity Of sticking to basic
principles and fundamentals In scien.
titic endeavors Is voiced by Admiral
Billiard, of the Federal Radio Com.
mission, who points out that we have
only just returned to the basic prin-
ciples of radio established by Hertz
in his first experiments with electro.
magnetic waves, which demonstrated
the value Of shortwave transmission
In 1887.
Prof. Hertz of Germany, a distin.
guished professor of science, estab-
lished the basic principles of radio by
producing those waves and showing
that they We're subject to all the
known laws of physics that had been
considered in the use of other wave
forms, such as sound, light and heat.
All the experiments conducted by
Prof. Hertz were with what Is now
known as short waves. He had no
means of producing the long waves,
later used for long distance radio
communication. He probably never
developed a wave more than 10 to Is
meters in physical length. All his ex-
periments and research work was con.
Quoted on short waves. Later, we
saw the wandering away from those
basic principles. Radio communica.
ton was developed commercially

RADIO CURRENT SALES.
Industry Profits by Wide Use of
Electricity.

That radio has been great boost to
manufacturing and to industry
through the widespread manufacture
and sale of receiving equipment is OBJ
vious, but it is interesting to note that
one OF the greatest sources of revenue
as a result of radio does not come to
the electrical interests via manufactur.
ing, but through the sale of current.
And this additional consumption of
current is not the result of what sets
themselves use, but rather of the cur
rent which radioists utilize for lighting
purposes while operating their sets.
Lighting authorities have observed
a gratifying increase in the use Of
lamp hours" the term given TO the
number of hours that individual cleo.
trio lights are in use. This is becom-
ing the chief source of revenue in the
sale of electrical current for radio use.
1t isn't what the set itself consumes
in it's eliminators, chargers, power am
plifiers and transformers. but rather
what the set user burns as he stays up
later at night and uses house current
in order to see what he's doing.

Radio to Test Cleaners.

The radio set can be of use around
the house, even when it isn't bringing
in music. This Is a hint to the house
wife who likes to have everything in
good running order. Sometimes while
the vacuum cleaner is being used turn
on the set and tune in for some sta
ton. One will hear the vacuum clean
err through the ioudspeaker. If it
crackles IA great deal the indications
are that the brushes Of the motor of
the vacuum cleaner are sparkling too
much and need attention.

! would much rather be called in to
help the radio owner who uses his set
regularly than TO try to find out what
is wrong with some outfit used only
at infrequent intervals. When a set
is used very little. its owner can't
remember when he last charged the
"A" battery, nor can he tell with any
degree Of accuracy many of those
things which a trouble shooter ought
to know when he is trying TO put his
finger on an ailment.
The man who Is operating his set
regularly seems to know many things
which are helpful in reaching con
clusi0n as to the actual trouble. II
the set has been showing gradual de
terioratl0n he remembers 1t from the
way the programs have been becoming
increasingly difficult to pick up. If
he has been using the set right along
he remembers whether or not recep-
ton the evening before the II 'lble be
gan was good or whether 1t suggested
that the trouble was about to ma
terialiZe. All this is helpful TO any
one who is trying to apply little eX
perience and knowledge to unearth the

 10 DRY UP WORLD
Prohibition Effective in America,
 He Declares

Hartford, Oct. 1o.-P1-''The so- lution of the prohibition question Hes not in the abandonment of any part Of the legislative ground we have gained in this country but in ex- tending prohibition around the world" according to the Rev. Dr. ". H. Bowler, executive secretary of The board of missionary cooperation of the Northern Baptist convention who spoke this morning before the Connecticut Baptist convention, at the Central Baptist church, where 1t IS holding its one hundred and fourth annual meeting. Tonight will mark the closing of the two day gathering.
 Prohibition is effective In Amer ica, the conditions which prevailed before the adoption of the eighteenth amendment are greatly ameliorated, but prohibition Is not as effective as it should be.
 The only way to make it so. is to extend the sentiment for it around the world, to obtain the legislation which is specialization Of this sentiment In every nation Of the earth. Thus the problem Of enforce ment, so far as the Canadian bor- der and Emile limit are concerned would be done away with.
