Ky MORRIS l. HARRIS

SHANGHAI, Jan. 21.-Radio has at last put China into direct and instantaneous communication with the rest of the world
 Through transmission service at 100 words per minute has already been started between this city and San Francisco Within a few weeks similar contacts are to be made with Berlin, Paris, London and oth- CT capitals of the world
 Establishment of the Shanghai international radio station at Chen jul, a suburb, has made this feat possible.
 Like other enterprises still new to China, construction of the sta ton and its eventual opening was by no means rapid. Ceremonies at tending the opening were preceded by two years of negotiations, hard work and various obstacles to be overcome.
 A week before the final tests had been completed the Japanese gov ernment filed a formal complaint against the new enterprise. It was based on treaty signed by the Japanese and the old Peking gov- arnment granting the Japanese a monopoly on wireless stations oper- ating in China with the outside world. It caused some apprehen- sion for a time.
 Plans for the station were formu- lated two years ago when the Nan king government began to take ra- dio seriously. However, it was not until ten months ago that actual construction was started.
 Approximately $800,000 was ap- i propriated, most of this sum being 5pent for American equipment, with some apparatus purchased in France and Germany.
 Installation work was supervised by Cecil Bailey, R. c. A. engineer, who is remaining in China for a few months to help direct opera tions. George F. Shecklen of San Francisco, who has spent two years in China, in connection with the radio plant, has accepted a post With the government in an advisory

T0CIvE IGNITION TO ALASKA YOUTHS
Grand Igloo to Make Some Provision for Terri tory's Younger Folks

Young men and young women born in the Territory subsequent Iy to 1905 are ineligible to admit tance into the Pioneers of Alaska and there is no affiliated associa- tion for them. Yet the wife of any members of the pioneers or ganization may become member of it's auxiliary, even if she has been in the Territory only a day.
 Formation of an affiliated asso- ciation for Alaska-born sons and daughters of pioneers will be a chief order of business before the Grand Igloo when it holds it's an- nual session here late in February.
 Meet February 25
 The meeting will convene Febru- ary 25 and will last about four days. Delegates are expected from every Igloo in Alaska. r
 According to the pioneers con- stitution, no person arriving in the Territory since 1905 is eligible to membership. Throughout Alaska there are numerous young men and women born in the Territory since then who are anxious and some have asked, to be members of the old timers organization.
