RADIO IMPORTANT
LIGHTHOUSE help
Sets Used to Communicate
With Ships at Sea and
to Amuse Keepers.

Radio has come to be a very impor-
tant adjunct to the United states
Lighthouse Service. 1t is used exten-
sively in the operation of about 80
radio beaconS, on board the tenders
for communication and in the many
lighthouses as q means of entertaining
the keepers, whose lives are quite drab
and dreary, isolated as they are from
the rest of the world.
The bureau, Commissioner Putnam
states, now operates 20 radio beacons.
utilized by many American and for
eign ships when approaching our
shores in darkness or fog. These bea-
cons, 13 Of which are new, emit special
and distinctive radio signals at estab-
lished intervals, charted as are the
many navigational lights. OF course,
the use of radio compasses or direction
finders is required on the part of the
ships, but about 400 American flag
vessels are now equipped with radio
compasses, besides many foreign ships.
Upon hearing a radio beacon signal,
the navigator or master Is able to iden-
tify 1t. and can readily determine its
exact bearing from his vessel by turn
ing his compass coils until he gets a
maximum signal. An error of about
l degree Is usually allowed. Frequent
bearings are sometimes necessary to
establish the exact position of course
desired when approaching shoals,
channels or the entrance to port, or
bearings on two separate points or
beacons are taken. Off New York yes.

mel Light Vessel. A new radio beacon
is being installed in Long Island
Sound for the vessels using that inside
route to and from New York.
The active beacons are distributed
pretty well along dangerous points on
our coast lines; there are nine on the
Pacific, one in Alaska, nine on the At
lantic, two in the Gulf and eight on
the Great Lakes. New installations
are being made in Hawaii, off the
Florida coast and on some of the keys,
two in Lake Michigan and one in
Lake Superior.
The beacon system on the lakes, al
though relatively only one full season
old. Is reported as satisfactory, many
lake boats being equipped with radio
compasses to aid in navigation. Re-
suits on the lakes are almost as sue
cessful as with sea-going vessels. in
which service all of the transoceanic
passenger ships are equipped with
both radio transmitters and COM
passes.
Life in the lighthouses, even those
distant from our shores. Is far happier
today than it was a year or two ago,
due to the generosity of two big radio
manufacturers and q number Of indi-
viduals. who have contributed about
ZOO receivers for use in the unequip-
ped lights on our shores and on light
vessels lying off the coasts. Practical
ly all these posts are now supplied
with radio sets, and through a recent
gift by New York woman Of a check
amounting to $12 900, all the necessary
accessories have been secured by the
service. No funds for supplying radio
receivers and their fairly expensive ac-
2essories are furnished by Congress.

400 TRY To SELECT
CONTEST STATIONS
Popularity of The Stars
Competition Shown in First
/ Weeks Report.

The first contest week in The Star s
row with the announcement Of the
final station for identification which
will be selected tonight. The win
ner of the So cash prize viii be an
nounced Wednesday.
The popularity of the contest is
shown by the fact that more than
400 fans attempted to identify the
stations listed during the week. A
great majority of them, however, ap:
Darently made blind guess. For in
nance, the first station which the
cafnteStants were asked to identify
broadcast a concert by the Reading
Railway Band. Some of the fans as
eJn1ed that the band gave its con-
cert somewhere in Pennsylvania. and
the replies received by the contest
editor listed practically every station
ia the State, the Philadelphia broad
casters predominating. The list of sta
tfons selected during the week, which
will be published with the announce
ment of the winner, will show that
the band did not play at any station in
Pennsylvania.
Because of numerous requests the
contest Will be modified somewhat
during the second contest week. A
definite time will be announced when
the contest editor expects to dial for
the station to be picked for identifi-
cation. For example, the contest edi,
tor will listen every night during the
second contest week, which begins
tomorrow night between -:30 and S
o'clock. The contestants. therefore.
will not be required TO sit at their
sets continuously for two and three
hours logging the distant stations

new PHONE SERVICE
STIRS INTEREST HERE
Transatlantic Radiotelephony Wei
coined by Federal Experts
in Capital.

Keen interest was manifested in
Washington in the newly inaugurated
Transatlantic wireless telephone serv-
ice, even though the proposed ex-
change Of greetings between President
Coolidge and King George was not
finally arranged as the initial CONVEX
sation.
Government technical men, notably
Army and Navy experimenters who
have done work of their own on two
way radiotelephony, evinced particu-
lar satisfaction in the consummation
in commercial way of an advance in
radio they long foresaw. One Of their
most interesting experiments along
this line worked out q system where
by an aviator might keep in verbal
communication with a land station
during the flight Of his plane.
On the part Of those in the Govern
ment who are concerned with the Ma
TONS business. they looked to the new
system as another business and trade
promotional unit that provides a
quicker and better means for an ex-
change Of information and opinion be-
:ween business men and bankers in the
two countries.
The diplomatic people are somewhat
dubious as to the transatlantic tele-
phones probable utility to them be-
cause it lacks the element Of privacy
at Its present stage of development.
Secrecy, of course, is the essence Of
diplomacy.
Only New York and London are now
connected. but the highly developed
telephone connections In the United
States and the newly developing tele-
phone cables from England to Ger
many and nearly the whole of conti-
mental Europe make more than mere
speculation the possibility Of extending
the service to many countries, in the
view of experts here.

Rights on New Method for Secret

Hammond.

The patents covering n method and
means OF establishing secret radlsnt
telephony, applied for by John Hays
Hammond, jr., of Gloucester, Mass. In
1929, have just been issued by the
United States Patent Office. They are
listed as Patents 1912 ,2S4-b and are
quite technical in their many specif-
cations and drawings.
Basically they cover a method of
secret communication via radiant
telephony. The means and apparatus
appear closely related to ordinary
radio. except that the generator and
transmitter utilize radiant energy. the
high-frequency oscillations OF which
are subject to periodic changes. Evi

comprehensive, hence the secrecy.

are the two basic forces behind the
drama now enacted between China
and the Western nations. There can
be no peace in the Far East until
these opposing forces are somehow
brought into a working relationship.
Each one of these three phases in
our struggle is great enough to engage
the whole attention and energy of the
Chinese people. Our misfortune is
that we are obliged to undergo all
three phases at the same time, thus
adding considerably to the complexity
and difficulty of our problems. 1t
is inevitable that in times of such
great upheaval in China irresponsible
persons here and there will cause re-
grettable incidents to happen.
Most Are Not Anti-FOreign.
THE marvel so far is that so few
Incidents Of this nature have happene
ed. The reason for this Is because
the bulk of the Chinese people are not
antiforeign and certainly not anti
American. We have drawn so much
of our inspiration for our National
movement from America and so many
of our leaders are trained in American
universities that l cannot believe my
people will ever hold any feelings
those Of admiration and affection.
I'm every struggle there is moder-
ate as well as radical elements and
The Nationalist movement in China
is no exception. China's hope is Gen.
tered on the moderates who form the
bulk of the Nationalist party. Our
future nation-builders will come from
the ranks of the moderates. A keen
struggle is now on between these two
sections for leadership in the party.
Much will depend upon the outcome
of this struggle.
To-day we are makers of history
on both sides of the Pacific. Some
are close to the scene and others are
more distant. But, consciously or
unconsciously, we are all having a
hand in shaping the destiny of great
nation in these days. Shall the forces
OF oppression and greed in this world
be allowed to perpetuate great
wrong in China, which can only be
rectified by generations of suffering
and turmoil? Or shall this priceless
opportunity now before us to create
a new order of peace and prosperity
in China be seized and through
patience, sympathy and foresight
made to succeed? This is the real
question"
