Quite a number of years ago, for exhibition
purposes, baby tank was driven over various
pieces of terrain by radio control from an auto
mobile which followed in the rear. Although
there is little practical application of this type
of radio control at present, its use IN warfare
is Immediately evident.
What about the transmission Of power by
radio? DR.. Jolliffe was asked
THE transmission of power by radio has
been freely predicted from time to time" he
answered, but there are several fundamental
things which have prevented its being prac-
ticable. Transmission of power by radio is now
possible, but it is exceedingly inefficient. II an
efficient method were discovered, any conductor
tuned to that frequency along the route would
pick up power Just imagine what a terrible
nix-up there would be along the lines OF all
wire and radio controlled apparatus If unlim-
tied radio power were directed over them toward
some distant objective"
is it probable that our household work will
be done by radio in the future? was the
next question. DR.. Jolliffe laughed. Why
should it?" he countered you can buy stoves
now which can be turned automatically
at a certain time, kept at a certain temperature
and turned off at a given time by clock mocha
niSm Furnaces are now controlled by the
simplest of clock mechanisms, and number
of ingenious persons have rugged up time
controlled apparatus for closing the bedroom
windows in the morning Why resort to radio
to set such things going when simpler and
less expensive apparatus will do the work as
well?"
One of the most comprehensive develop
mentS In radio within the last few years is in
the field Of telephony. At the present time
&c per cent of the worlds telephones are con-
nected. You can sit at your own telephone and
talk to persons in Europe, South America or
on ships at sea, the great stretches over the
ocean and over little-developed territory being
bridged by radio.
Most of us can remember when wireless
messages were sensations. Within the last
year passengers on the Leviathan, the Homeric
and the Majestic have talked over telephone
to friends and family at home Other ships
are being equipped for service as rapidly as
possible Such conversations do not tie up the
ships radio telegraph. Transmission Is on an
other frequency entirely, and one does not know
that the other is operating
WITHIN a few years this type of telephone
w via radio service will undoubtedly be ex-
tended across the Pacific and to liners IN
Asiatic waters There Is nothing now holding

Radio IN the Next Decade

up the extension except lack Of telephone serv-
ice in the East
1t is probable that in the very near future
police officials will frequently send fingerprint
impressions by wire radio in order to identify
a suspect in a hurry when they have little evil
dence on which to hold him.
One of the most valuable uses of radio at
present Is on police cars on the road.
Almost before predictions concerning the
future Of radio can get into print they have
become realities in the laboratories and are
already on their way to the general public

LISTEN, WORLD!
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Than cussedness or conceit.
They argue because they're
AFRAID.
There's a secret fear always
gnawing at them.
The fear that they're not as
impressive
And dominating and convinc-
ing as other people.
And that other people are on
to it.
Ano are going to laugh at
them.
Or put something over on
them.
And so, being constantly
afraid,
And as self-conscious as pup
with lis first flea,
They're always on the ag-
gressive-
Always trying to beat you to
the clinch-
Always trying to prove their
superiority to you.
And, even more particularly,
to themselves.
Why do such people always
put up an argument?
That's why.
And I've heard it said
That if you can get past that
fear,
Make them feel that they
needn't defend themselves,
Make them see that you re-
spect and admire them.
And, even more important,
that you need them,
That you can cure them Of
arguing.
Which, I admit, sounds grand,
And if you've got a Noble
Soul and a lot of time
I hope you'll try it.
But I might as we'll hastily
add
That for At years
I've been trying it myself.
On a bunch of orney hui
mans,
And it hasn't dented 'em yet.
But maybe you'll be luckier.

Letters to the Editor From Readers of The Times

a civilian bumps off a cop, I
take the liberty of advocating
through the columns of The
Times, the only newspaper in
Washington that recognizes
that the rights of free speech
are still theoretically in exist
ence in the Republic, that the
same measure of righteous in
dignation and decisive action
be exhibited when some prohibi-
ton agent or some other cop
with criminal tendencies
Slaughters a citizen.
While it is gratifying to note
how efficient the administration
of law and order has suddenly
become in New York, and while
a similar efficiency in such
savage cities as Chicago and
Toledo might tend to elevate
them to a plane of some de-
gree of respectability, I cannot
help feeling a bit sorry for
KILLER" Crowley. The circum-
stances under which he bumped
off the cop are such that any
man of self-respect would feel
a strong urge to do likewise. 1t
is highly improbable that the
police have completely con-
vinced the public that they
have genuine crime so we'll in
hand that they can afford to
take time off and snoop on
harmless necking parties. You
will usually find that the class
of cops who prowl around the
parks and dark lanes frighten-
ing youths and dragging the
names of their girl companions
through the mud are without
exception a vile and degraded
herd of skulkers of a Singularly
depraved and obscene turn of
mind, and the world is better
off without them.

Cruelty to Rats
Pleas to Treat Them Humanely in Killing Them

That little furry have had about killing rats in the old

had few interesting results.
In the first place it is claimed that the Department Of
Agriculture furnished poison not dangerous human beings

there left but he admits that he is not expert
killing There still plenty of them in the old market
and throughout the CITY, and the campaign of extermna
ton should go on, by individuals, anyhow.
In the second place there have been appeals be humane
to rats in killing them These appeals in opposition to
any poison mixture that does quickly kill these pests
Rats dangerous to health They carriers of disease
and ven. They charged with killing human beings
through carrying cholera than other known agency
and health officials them at opportunity They

City's Parking
Problem

Editor, Times:
I have read and heard
enough complaints about the
new traffic laws and its rigid
parking regulations to know
that the majority of the people
of Washington are dissatisfied
and disgusted with them.
At the present time it is
certainly a case of taxation
without representation"
The solution to this unfair
and distressing way of affairs
is suggested by an article in
The Herald of April 80, mainly,
that pulic opinion should act
in voicing their protests through
the medium of ballots and I
believe your papers could solve
the problem by printing bal
lots and perhaps to procure CO.
operation from other Washing
ton papers to do the same and

votes of disapproval for pres

may be done to modify them

lieve in the constitutional
rights "of the people, by the
people, and for the people"

Do You Litter the Floor?

Do You Litter the Floor?
How about it. old man; don't
you add a lot of work to your
household by throwing your
things about?
Coat on a chair, hat on an
other chair, newspapers on the
floor, to say nothing Of ashes
and evil-smelling cigar and
cigarette stubs most anywhere.
This means that someone has
to put these articles in their
proper place if your home is to
present a neat appearance.
Your arrival at home is the
signal for disorder, no matter
how carefully things have been
cleared and cleaned up during
the day.
Suppose you do pay a maid
to keep things orderly, it is
selfish and thoughtless Of you
to distribute your wearing ap-
parel and other articles around.
It is easy enough to get into
the habit of hanging your coat
and hat in their place when
you get in, and teaches the
children something also.
It is not necessary to throw
papers on the floor when you
finish them.
Why leave. parcels on tables
to be removed by someone else?
Help mother and set a good
example at the same time by
putting away your own things.

THE CHAP WHO ALWAYS
PUTS UP AN ARGUMENT.
It may not be a very noisy
argument
It may be only few words
Or a mean look
Or a Snooty snort
Or a slight reddening of the
ears
But it's an argument, just the
same,
And it serves as warning and
protest
That whatever you're FOR
he's AGAINST.
You, make the most casual
statement
Like-"It's a fine day.
Or the simplest suggestion,
such as
Hadn't you better phone to
see if he's in?"
Doesn't matter how obvious
or simple your remark
He'll come back at you con-
trary.
He'll deny it's a nice day
He'll yawp for an hour to
prove it's a rotten day
He'll refuse to phone ahead.
And maintain that only saps
ever phone ahead.
And the funny part of It is
Until you mentioned it, he
thought it was a grand day
And had every intention Of
phoning ahead.
But since you beat him to it,
HE HAD TO TAKE THE OP-
POSITE SIDE.
Now why are people like that?
Is it because they're nav urally
cusSed?
Or so stuck on themselves
that they simply must
Put in their two cents, regard
less?
Not entirely.
Being human they are, Of
course, cusSed.
And conceited-all of us are.
