NOVEL TEST HINTS
RADIO Of FUTURE
Demonstration of Broadcast
on UItra-High Frequency
Proves Amazing.

GLIMPSE into what may be the
~ radio broadcaSting spectrum OF
n the future was given members
and engineers of the Federal
Radio Commission in an "amaz-
ing, practical demonstration OF broad
casting on the ultra-high frequencles'
heretofore regarded as the mo Mans
Land" of radio.
Although the demonstration was to
have been secret. it is learned that
engineers of the r. c. A.-Victor Co., OF
Camden, N. j.. set up newly developed as,
Washington and broadcast the pro-
grams OF station WRC, over the ultra
high frequency of $4,000 kilocycles
The present broadcast band ends at
1900 kilocycles and no regular COM
munication Of any character Is carried
on beyond %, 900 kilocycles.
Commission officials who witnessed
the demonstration marveled at the
clearness Of the gnas. using only Is
watts power. The tranSmitter, weigh
ing less than 100 pounds. was installed
at the WRC tranSmitter at Fourteenth
street and Park road One receiver,
weighing less than so pounds, was
placed at Radio Commission head
quarters, about 2la miles away. A
second receiver was installed In an
automobile and the programs were
picked up with excellent results whne
the car was in motion. The signal was
audible 9 miles away.
An unlimited number of channels are
available in these ultra-high frequen-
cies. Engineers envision the DAY Wheh
broadcasting, television and numerous
other offshoots of radio will find their
haven in those bands. These waves,
however, simulate light waves in their
effect and for that reason have very
limited coverage and are obstructed by
animate objects. Engineers hope to
overcome this barrier.
In contrast to reception OF radio sig
nails sent in the conventional band,
which are made up of combination
of both sky and ground waves emitted
by the transmitters, the ultrahigh fire.
quencieS depend entirely on the
ground wave signal for reception. The
sky wave shoots off into space and is
incapable OF reception at all.
THE address of Premier j. Ramsay
l. Macdonald of Great Britain, No.
vember 8, in which he is expected
to discuss the governments policy for
the coming year, will be broadcast in

Skidding accidents continue as

ways the transition period between

GENTLY taken the lives of many chill

WILMINGTON WINS FIRE
PREVENTION CONTEST

An International committee of
judges has proclaimed Wilmington
first i'm all Delaware for effective
ness in fire prevention work.
These awards were made in the
contest conducted by the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters, the
winners being selected from detail
eG reports of Fire Prevention Week
activities sent in by the various cit
les.
The records indicate that there
was large increase in the number
of cities reporting and great i'm
ptovement i'm the effectiveness of
the campaign conducted.
OF the cities reporting In the
United States, II suffered no loss by
fire during the week of October 2 TO
&. 76 escaped damage from burning
during Fire Prevention Week. Octo-
her TO Is, and 20 reported no fire
loss throughout the following week.
This is total of 232 fireless weeks
covered by the period of this special
fire prevention observance. The fire
loss in the cities submitting such
records, as compared with the av-
erage weekly loss of the same cities
Tor the previous year. showed a re-
duction of 46 per cent.
These records augur well for the
coming year II is the year-round
effectiveness of cities and towns in
preventing fires that counts most.
The activities in October give lmpe-
tus to the campaign against fire
waste which must be waged contin-
ually. Since individuals rarely think
of their own part in preventing
fires. it Is incumbent upon the civic
organizations in their communities
to bring the matter to their atten-
tion-not only in October but also at
regular intervals during the year. :
