Home Opened Formally.
The home was opened formally this
week, in connection with the national
light celebration in honor of Thomas
Edison, by James S. Taylor, chief of the
Department of Commerce.
The ceremonies were opened by M. G.
Turpin, chairman of the jubilee COM
mittee of the Electric League. He was
followed on the program by Joseph T.
Kirchner, league president, who intro
duced Mr.. Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor said, in part:
1.-THE historical exhibit will impress us
wildly with the shortness of the time
within which the commercial develop
ment of the great electric light and
power has taken place. and recall to us
our Indebtedness to Thomas A. Edison.
the great inventor and organizer whom
our whole Nation is honoring. The
display of electrical equipment for the
home demonstrates the great service
that the electrical industry renders to
us as human beings, and reminds us
that our modern industry exists to serve
us and our fellow men.
Chance for Gratitude.
when we consider the variety of
things and services that the modern
world offers us we may well pause to
recall that we are inheritorS of the
fruits of the toll and inventions and
thinking of past generations, and of
what we owe to men now living who,
like Mr.. Edison, have done so much
that benefits us. We all have to con-
slider how we can best apply our limited
resources so that we can obtain the best
return in terms of our needs and wants
and the ideals and standards which we
cherish and prize most highly"

good stuff" was in reality a connection
containing even less alcohol than the
Volstead law approves. But not often.
Shortly after the prohibition law be-
came operative, the laboratory received
consignment of liquid purporting to
be bonded whisky. In appearance =
bottle was calculated to stir the imagi-
nation of the most discriminating drink
er. 1t proved to be a fine preparation
of tea. The purchaser-and the par
ticular consignment of which the labo-
ratorys portion was sample had cost
somebody tidy sum-thought to sue
the seller for cheating and Swindling.
His anger knew no bounds when fin
ally he was convinced that inasmuch
as he had negotiated for the purchase
of an article that could not be sold
legally, he had no recourse at law.
The laboratory's work with liquors is
of particular value to law enforcement
officers in that reports of the finding in
each sample tested are forwarded to the
district attorney. Albert Spear, Gov
eminent chemist, is familiar figure in
the trial of liquor cases in the District.
He is assigned by the chemical labo-
ratory to give testimony in all cases in
volving liquors the laboratory has tested.

BOOTLEG SAMPLES
BECOMING SCARCE
Laboratories Receive Less
for Testing Since Jones Law
Went Into Effect.

Samples of the hootlegger's art have
not been so numerous at the chemical
laboratories of the Bureau of Prohibi-
ton since the so-called Jones law be-
came effective.
Up to March 2. when the act of Con-
Eress formally held up a threat of five
years as the maximum imprisonment
for violation of the Volstead act, and
stretched the, limit on fines to $4,000,
samples of liquors confiscated in the
District went to the laboratory on the
top floor of the Treasury Building at
the rate of so a week. From month
TO month, the number varied but con-
sidered comparatively the report for any
week was commentary. so TO speak,
on the activity in the bootleg trade.
The samples are fewer now and G. F.
Boyer, chemist in charge of the labo-
Tatory, and his assistants, think the
Jones law may have had something to
do with the matter. Whether this APP
parent leasing off" of the market is
to continue. however, Boyer does not
hazard an opinion.
Work Is Important.
The work of the chemical labora-
tories. a work that came into promi-
nence with prohibition, actually touches
on the manufacture of all products
containing alcohol, ranging from hand
lotions to medicines for internal use.
Not until the laboratory or one of its
10 branches approves formulas and
samples of the finished product, may
articles containing more than one-falf
OF one per cent alcohol be manufac-
tured, and sometimes not even then.
For example, a man planning to
manufacture hair tonic submits his
formula and sample to the laboratory.
The formula must compare favorably
with bona fide formulas for similar
products; that is to say, it must be. in
fact, formula for hair tonic. The
sample is tested for alcoholic content
and must contain ingredients sufficient
to make 1t unfit for beverage purposes.
If the formula and sample are APP
proved, the commissioner of prohibition
is so advised and he, in turn, informs
the prohibition administrator in the dis.
trict having jurisdiction over the appli-
cant.
The administrator conducts his own
investigation and If. in his Judgment,
the applicant is qualified to conduct a
bona f1de business, a permit then may
be issued enabling the manufacturer to
withdraw alcohol to meet his require
ments.
Before prohibition, the laboratory
concerned itself chiefly with patent
medicines to prevent sale for beverage
purposes. Today the work is of con-
siderable importance. The laboratory
here passes on about 10000 formulas
and samples in year, insuring that
each conforms to the rigid requirement
that it not be adaptable to use as
beverage; and in the case of solids,
such as salves and creams, that the
matter be made unfit for treatment to
extract its alcoholic content.
Occasionally analysis of liquors dis
closes that what the buyer thought was

nobody ever heard of square focus for

Maybe that's why the mike seems to so
many persons to have disturbing hyp-
motto powers. and maybe, in adopting a
new shape for the mike, radio is un-
consciously deferring to tradition.
There are two Of these new mikes
now in use in the studio of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., and they are
proving a tremendous success. They
are oblorg In shape-something like a
beautifully lacquered Japanese lantern
and, for some unexplained reason, far
less diequieting to the beginner in
broadcasting. Their real efficiency, how
ever, is due to a new and scientifically
perfected mechanism. SouSa has said
that he has found their effectiveness, in
richness and clarity of tone, "unbe-
lievable." They cost $500 each, while
the old ones cost about $85. Thus,
money talks-the more the louder.

her realize what a wealth Of cultural

INDIANAPOLIS ASKS
FOR POLICE RADIO
viii Be Third City to Use New
Method in Hunt for
Criminals.

The increasing use of radio commu-
nication as an aid to law enforcement
is emphasized by the application filed
last week with the Federal Radio Com
mission by the police department OF
indianapolis, Ind, which Is seeking a
construction permit for a short-wave
station there.
Chicago and Detroit already have in
stalled radio equipment to aid their
respective police departments, and the
idea Is said to be receiving favorable
consideration In other cities on the
basis of information reaching the COM
mission.
The principal use SO far devised for
police radio systems Is that of main
tanning continuous liaison between
headquarters and automobiles carrying
officers in remote parts Of the city in
search of criminals. Liaison between
headquarters and outlying precincts is
maintained, of course, by telephone and
possible field for wireless communica-
ton In the event the wires should be
cut in some major disturbance.
Mobile Sets Used.
Mobile receiving sets mounted on po-
lice automobiles are used to keep the
ofdcers constantly informed as to what
is happening at headquarters. The adj
vantageS of this system are obvious.
For instance, If a searching party is
sent to the northwest section of city
in search of an escaped prisoner or
suspect it sometimes happens that
headquarters receives a tip that the
person wanted is in some other locality.
without wireless communication 1t is
impossible to reach the searching party
until 1t either returns or telephones in,
and that may be too late.
In times of serious disorder, when 1t
is desirable to keep squads of police
continuously moving about in the dis
turbed areas, radio communication is
an invaluable aid. The mobile squads
can keep on the move constantly and
at the same time can be informed from
headquarters of any outbreak in any
particular locality.
Resources Just Tapped.
Those who have given some thought
to the possibility of a more extensive
use of wireless communication in the
prevention of crime or the .appreheu-

sion of criminals are convinced that
the resources of this agency have so far
been merely tapped. 1t has been noint-
ed out that in addition to broadcasting
verbal descriptions of persons sought
for crime, the radio in its various fields
of development may also be used to
broadcast actual pictures. and finger
prints.
Not only may this be done from a
city headquarters to its outlying station
houses, but it may also be done on prac-
tically a worldwide basis. AS modern
methods of transportation facilitate the
escape of criminal, modern methods
of communication increase the chances
for his capture.
