Another thrill experienced with radio
occurred when was chief officer of
the America, in 1921. Experiments were
being conducted in wireless telephony
between the America and shore stations.
The America was $50 miles off the
coast, approaching New York, when
Capt. William Rind and and several
others talked to q number of persons
ashore.
This was really a thrill. The America
was in heavy sea. The men with
whom spoke, some of whose voices
easily recognized. were sitting in Of
fees or in their living rooms at home
and told us how comfortable they were
and how pleasing the weather was
At sea it was terribly cold and the
ship was making only light Roadway
because the sea was heavy. Converse
tons were conducted from the radio
room of the America into ordinary tel
ephones and were transmitted by air
to Deal, N. j., where there was a re-
ceiving station. The voice was carried
by land wire to the home of the re-
ceiver.
This scheme proved practical, but I
have since been informed that because
OF the heavy expense involved 1t could
not be further developed so as to re-
duce the cost of the conversations.
However, this will come after q while
as matter Of course, so that 1t will
be possible for you to sit in the state
room of your ship, pick up the receiver
and call your home or friends In al
most any part of the world.

Extraordinary Precautions

With all leave Cancelled and every
man not sick on duty the Fire Depart

lions to insure quick and effective work
in case of any fire that might break

viewing stands. etc. an unusual flre
hazard may have developed have been
covered carefully in the departments
plans Special telephones connect the
departments switchboard at the Dis
trict Building with the two platforms at
the Capitol and White House. Firemen
will be stationed at each place, with
easy access to telephone in case OF the
outbreak of a fire. Extra hose MOBILES.
hydrant wrenches and other equipment
has been assembled at points of posi-
BILE danger near the parade route for
emergency use.
In case of a fire neceSsitating the
crossing of PENNSYLVANIA avenue by de-
partment vehicles each company has
been routed to cross the avenue at one
of the traffic lanes provided by the
Police Department. In previous maugu-
rations the department vehicles have
not been allowed to cross the avenue,
but this year blazes on either side will
be responded to promptly by the nearest
company, regardless Of whether 1t must
cross the Avenue.
Tonight so firemen will be on duty at
the inaugural ball at the Washington
Auditorium. This includes men from
the rescue squad.
Seven officers and % privates from

extremely delicate and could not be

Radios First Thrill.
The first thrill that I got from the
radio was when I was aboard the
cruiser Minneapolis. The Navy had
installed crystal receiving set, and the
first night there was considerable ex-
element when word spread that we
were to receive news dispatches from
shore. Every night while at sea men
would congregate in the radio room to
get these reports first land. The news
received would spread quickly through
out the ship.
Introduction of this novelty created
considerable excitement. Frequently
messages written on radiogram sheets
would be found lying in different parts
of the ship. These messages would
sometimes say that we were to head
for different port or that we would
turn about and start at once for home
instead of following the original itin-
erary.
These reports, of course, were err
roneous and were dropped on the decks
with the idea of creating a sensation.
1t was not long before the hoax was
discovered. The captain of the vessel
then issued an order saying that any
one writing false report or spreading
rumors purporting to come from the
radio room would be severely punished
Personal messages were accepted for
transmission in the early days about
1905, but there was never any guaran-
tee of delivery. Frequently it was nee
essary to hold these messages until thu

Used to Save Lives.
While this made a tremendous I'M
preston upon me, I realized the ad-
vantages of this new development in
science, particularly as 1t referred to
myself and other seafarers. The radio
was first used in saving lives in jan
uary 1909. when the steamer Florida
and the Republic crashed during fog
off Nantucket Lightship. You will prob
ably recall that the radio operator
Jack Binns. of the Republic, was the
outstanding hero, and when the rescued
crew returned to New York happened
to be in port and made every effort to
get glimpse of Jack to find out what
a hero really looked like.
The wireless has been used to great
advantage in giving first aid to the in
jured and sick on various ships that
did not carry doctors Every ship car
RIGS a medicine locker as part of its
equipment. When a man is injured or
is i'll, the captain of the ship frequently
communicates by radio with the nearest
vessel carrying a physician. The symp-
toms or description Of the injury are
given in detail and the doctor pre-
scribes accordingly. In this way the
pain OF the sufferer is relieved and
cures are many times effected.

CHAPTER VII.
One of the greatest values of modern

wireless. Prior to the development of
the radio, ships travelling from port to
port were never in communication with
each other nor with the shore.

ing the ships chronometer to the near
est telegraph or cable station to get the
correct time to determine the instru-
ment's error and rate. OF course, 1t
was necessary to wait for the flash
which indicated the correct time.
Whoever carried the chronometer had
to be extremely careful-in fact, it was
transported much in the same fashion
as you would carry basket of eggs.
1t was absolutely essential to keep the
chronometer away from any electrical
influences, such as motors and trolley
cars, and you had to carefully select
