The day is not far distant when
the science of radio virtually will
Danish toll, abolish war, and in
countless other ways make life on
old Mother Earth just one sweet
dream of loneliness, Maurice j.
Francill, wireless wizard, declared
Tuesday night in the first of a
series of two addresses over station
WFBM Of the Indianapolis Light
and Power Company, under auspices
of The Times.
His subject was 'The Radio Age"
The second of his talks will be given
over WFBM Wednesday evening
from TO I.lO O'CLOCK.
Francill has gained world renown
through his research, experimental
ton and inventive genius and is
rated by scientists as probably the
greatest living authority on appli-
cation of radio remote control to
motive and other forms of power,
in which field of endeavor he has
specialized.
He has made more history in de-
velopment of industrial radio, or
wireless control of power, than any
other person.
Radio will tend to reduce toll,
Francill declared in his Tuesday
night talk, because the electro-mag-
netic. or wireless wave, will supplant
the human hand in performing the
burdenSome work of the world.
More Jobs Promised
This does not mean, he says, that
the worker will be supplanted on his
job. To the contrary, he says there
will be more and better jobs, high
er pay, more prosperity, greater
safety against injury, more time for
recreation, shorter hours of actual
duty and many other advantages.
War will be banished, he says,
because the development of the
radio, or electro magnetic wave,
will make war SO destructive that
man will be compelled to abandon
armed conflict and resort to arhi-
tration in self defense, to avoid be-
ing annihilated; because radio will
open avenues of education, inter-
course, understanding and brotherly
love that will remove even the pri-
mary causes Of war, which he de-
scribed at hatred, ignorance, greed
and diStruSC.
Francill will be in Indianapolis
all this week, presenting radio
wonders never before offered in this
city. He is the supreme vaudeville
attraction at the Lyric theater,
where be is appearing four times
each day.
Operates Auto by Radio
Among other experiments on the
stage, Francill at each appearance is
operating by radio control stand
ard, stock model Hudson Essex auto
mobile, without driver or touch of
human hand. BY wireless waves, he
starts and stops the motor and per-
forms virtually every other opera
ton that a chauffeur could &C
compliSh.
F'rancill selected the Hudson
Essex, because of ease and f1eXibility
of engine movement and other me-
chanical refinementS. The machines
he is using are loaned by the r. v.
Law Motor Co., 1919 N. Meridian
street, distributors, and associate or
metropolitan dealers for that con-
Germ.
Wednesday morning, Francill ap-
peared before students and faculty
of Broad Ripple High School, in a
special scientific expose of the prac-
tees and methods of trickery, fraud
and deception practiced by fake
spirit mediums and other So-called
fortune tellerS." BY radio, he
duplicated many of their feats and
then showed his audience exactly
how the apparent phenomena"
were accomplished.
Open Air Feats Friday
Friday, at 1915 p. M, Francill will
give his second big Iree open-ai:
exhibition, nder auspices of The
Times, in the operation of three
standard stock model Hudson Essex
automobiles by radio control-two
at the same time-in N Meridian
street, between Washington street
and Monument circle.
In controlling two automobiles at
the same time, Francill will use
only one wave-length, one trans
mitter, or broadcast station, and
only one electro magnetic impulse,
or wave, at time to produce identi-
cal, or different operations of the
two machines at the same time.
This feat frequently has been
termed the riddle Of radio. Franciil
is the only man in the world who
has accomplished it. The third Cal
the wizard will steer in any direc
ton he desires.
During this demonstration, the
scene of the big free show will be
closed to Vehicular traffic.
