My dear Mr.. Wallace:
You were very kind to include
your humble servant on your mail
ing list of your Sixtieth yAnniver-
sary edition and the sample copy
came duly to hand.
AS 4 have had part in the max
ing of many special numbers ] may

something about the work involved
I think I also know a real news
paper when ] see one and it gives
one great pleasure to offer sincere
congratulations on your master
piece in journalism. 1t is credit
to the man at the helm and the
Herald organization as whole.
My one hope is that you made
some money on the venture. Of
course your remuneration will not
be measured by "barrels," for there
is no such reward in the newspaper
game and when all is said and done
the profit usually consists of glory.
While this wont make the ghost

Health On Motor
Trips Is Guarded
Highway Sanitation Gets Atten-
ton of State Departments and
Municipalities

Do you remember a few years
ago when motor camping and auto
mobile picnic parties first be-
came common, how attacks of ty-
phoid and other diseases due to
contagion often followed motor
tours? And have you noticed that
such illness is much less frequent
now.
Protection from accidents is not
the only thing that must be con-
sidered in building and maintain
ing highways on which people
from our own and other states
make long journeys. Commission
er C. M. Babcock, while insisting
on elimination of grade crossings,
sharp turns, and other road haz-
ards, has not forgotten highway
sanitation. Other state depart
ments have also given attention to
this subject and cooperatei to
make travel on the highways as
safe as possible.
Highways built by the state have
wide, clean roadsides. bitches and
culverts remove the surface water,
highway patrolmen keep the bitches
and drains clean, so there will be
no stagnant pools, cut weeds on
the right-of-way at regular inter-
walls, and keep the roadsides clean
and free from rubbish. They al
so do all they can to enforce the
law which prohibits dumping rub
bish along the roads. This law is
seldom violated, and if any rub
bish is unloaded along the road, it
is promptly taken away.
Municipal water supplies are
subject to inspection by the State
Board Of Health. and when approx
ed, signs showing that the water is
safe to drink are posted on the
highways entering the town. Sank
Centre has such signs showing that
its water supply is safe. Where
towns are far apart, springs and
other safe sources of drinking wat

er are marked by highway depart
ment signs. In state parks signs
indicate where pure water may be
obtained.
Tourist camps generally are
cleaner and safer to live in than
they were a few years ago. They
are subject to inspection by the
State Board of Health, and mu-
inequalities take a greater interest
in seeing that they are kept clean
and sanitary. This not only bene-
fits travellers but it minimizes the
danger of epidemics which might
be brought on by visitors who
carry typhoid or other germs. Sub
stitution of pay camps for free
camps has contributed to the
general improvement.

NAVY'S PROGRESS
IN RADIO IS CITED
Capt. Hooper's Report Tells
of Heavy Volume of Traf-
fic Handled Daily.

The Navy sizzleS with radio activity
There is not moment of the day or
night when some Navy radio transmit
ter somewhere is not Sputtering forth
dots and daSheS, sent on their wireless
course by expert operators and launched
by the finest equipment.
These "gobs'' handle gobs of traffic
that seems to grow every day. To the
lay public the Naval Communications
Service has come to mean regular
business organization. It's war activi-
ties are forgotten. There is peace
time work aplenty to be handled, but
it is just exercise for this highly trained
and we'll equipped <~S~aaiZation. Its
real purpose lies in a possible emer-
gency, where naval radio serves as the
connecting link between the great fleets,
perhaps on opposite sides of the world,
and between the fleets and the COM
n1anding admirals on shore.
Communication Is Improved.
Capt. S. c. Hooper, chief of Naval
Communications, points out in his an
nual report, available today, that new
equipment has improved fleet communi
cation. This is continuous process.
Whenever something is invented or dis
covered that will increase the operating
enclency ana maneuVerablllty OF naval
radio it is promptly adopted. But Capt
Hooper does not discuss war activities
of naval radio. That is secret. His re-
ports read like years review of big
business concern and it shows progress.
But it shows to the naval officer that
he is backed by as efficient radio
organization as there is in the world
There are some 800 naval craft of
all kinds in commission. Every one is
a radio station. The radio traffic and
intelligence shore system of the Navy
includes 118 operating stations, for
duties of every character. There are
primary stations for long distance,
tranSoceanic, point-to-point and fleet
intercept work; fleet stations for direct
communication to the fleet; coastal sta
tions for direct marine traffic; aircraft
stations for two-way communication
with aircraft harbor stations for short
distance work and radio compass sta
tionS that give bearings to commercial
aS well as naval craft.
In traffic work, Capt. Hooper states
that the continued increase in the use
of high-frequency or short-wave COM
nunication is reflected by marked de-

crease in the time required to deliver
long g-distance traffic. The facilities Of
the service are made available to
other Government departments and to
newspapers. In the former service the
Federal Government has saved ap-
proximately $1,030,000 during the fiscal
year ended June 80 through use OF
naval communications.
The Navy, under the radio act OF 1927,
Capt. Hooper explains, was authorized
TO handle press traffic for any newspaper
published in the United States or pub
lished abroad, if owned by United
States citizen. AS result, some press
copy is handled intermittently on all
circuits, while the transpacific traffic
has an almost constant volume.
Service Is Expanded.
Naval communications activities grew
along other lines during the year. The
naval observatory commenced sending
out time signals twice day via naval
communications on high as well as low
frequencies, making accurate time avail
able over a much larger area than here
tofore. Special weather broadcasts, in
tended primarily for aviation, now are
Evening star., 1928-12-13

sent out on high frequency via naval
radio-a new service.
Twice daily they are made available
to European meteorological services be-
cause the high frequencies carry the
signals that far. The 55 shore radio
compass establishments furnished 97,730
ships with their bearings, of which only
some IL 900 were naval vessels.
Radio research work for the Navy is
carried on largely at the naval research
laboratory in Washington. During the
past year it developed frequency equip
ment for naval use, attacked problems
of high-frequency wave propagation,
and worked in cooperation with radio
manufacturers, exchanging ideas tend
ing toward the betterment Of naval
radio material.
