Judge Wickersham's sugges- ton that an air route be estab- lished along the proposed exten- sion of the Pacific Highway from British Columbia to Alaska is sound. It would be practicable to develop landing fields as the automobile road is extended through the wilderness. Wheth- CT the air route should be eS- tcbliSlled first is a debatable question.

NEW YORK. Feb. 23-HJ--Given
a sample of a London radio program
we a coast-to-coast broadcast the
United States would like to hear
more.
The first attempt at picking up
an English station BY a complicated
chain Of radio apparatus and cut
ting it into numerous American
transmitters for their listeners
brought kilograms and letters whose
contents could be summed up in:
1T was great. When do we hear
London again.
The enthusiasm Of the listeners
was not shared to as great an eX-
tent by the engineers who have been
working on the problem Of retrans-
hitting England for two years. They
were pleased. but said they had
hoped TO do better, and would bend
future efforts toward making over
seas music as good as is some dis
lance reception in America.
When the next attempt at re-
broadcasting will be made depends
entirely upon reception conditions.
The first one came on the spur Of
the moment when static and fading
were somewhat less than usual.
That il was a surprise to radio pos
SCISSORS may have had something to
do with their evident pleasure over
the initial London program via a
National Broadcasting company net
work.

in February. the program will be
picked up between 4 and 5 D. m,
eastern time. In March the time will
be between 5 and 6. Those periods
are best for transatlantic reception.
R~ebroadcasting after March is not
so reliable, and according TO pres
ent plans little il any will be done
during the IN
Days and months Of experimental
work by engineers OF Westinghouse,

smith. vice president of RCA, pre-
ceeded this first program which was
graded as so in comparison with
others that have been heard at times
with an efficiency at 30.
Starting into a nicrophone in
Queens Hall, London, where a sym
phony orchestra was playing, the
music went by telephone wire TO the
studios Of the British B~roadcasting
Corporation at Savoy Hill. There
IL was monitored to go by another
wire to Chelmsford, site of 5SW,
with a power OF ten kilowatts. Am
plifiers at the transmitter boosted
the signals approximately n million
times before they started over the
Atlantic on 1888 meters.
At the RCA experimental r~eceiv-
ing station at Riverhead, L. l., Lon
don was picked up on a multiple
antenna connected to three receivers.
Each was cut into a special mixing
panel and amplified once more.

New Hudson Project
Proves Big Help
To Travel
BY Z. L. DUFFY

one OF the most striking products
OF tntS motor age has Just completed
It's flrst year of usefulness. This is
tne -udSon vehicular tunnel which
gives New York City a safe, high
speed outlet TO New Jersey.
During 1923 more than eight and
a half million passenger cars. trucks
ana buses travelled through this
concrete encased tube unmindful of
the Hudson river overheard. Spaced
10 feet or more apart. these motor
vehicles passed through the tunnel
at speeds not exceedingly 90 miles
an hour.
OF all the features that make the
tunnel a tribute to the engineers
who planned and built 10. perhaps
none Is more significant than the
ventilation. For the the most part
the wasehd air in the tunnel is as
pure ar more pure than the air on
the open streets. Tests have shown
that the quantity Of automobile OK
nauSt gas present is usually less
than one half Of the low adopted
standard.
The Hudson vehicular tunnel bears
out the precept make no little
plans" In 1919 when the tunnel
was planned for operation in 1924.
IT vas courageously estimated that
the traffic for that year would be
100000 vehicles. Fortunately, the
tunnel was designed for a much
greater traffic, and now engineers
estimate that by 1894 its capacity
OF about 10000, 5000 vehicles yearly
will have been reached.
The true significance Of the Hud-
son tunnel lies in the demonstra-
ton that cities can successfully in
vest in modern APPLIANCES for the
accomE 0dation of the ever prolific
automobile. The jump in automo-
bile sales within the last few years
reveals that IL is folly 20 predict
when the public will have absorbed
the gr attest possible number Of We
hicles. for as manufacturer says.
the market for cars parallels that Of
shoes.
Consequently every growing city
and every city that expects TO grow
is faced with the problem of pro-
viding mo- facilities for car driv-
ing and parking. Projects COMPARE
lively IS gigantic a. the Hudson
tunnel are hanging fire in large and
small communities all over the
country because of timidity.
