RADIO EXPERIMENT

balloon on its forthcoming flight.
The balloon Is ready to take of and
has been waiting for two weeks on
only one factor, the weather. Among
the dozens of scientific instruments
which form its cargo is powerful,
but small radio transmitter which will
transmit short-wave radio signals from
q point 200 feet below the balloon.
These waves. which are less than
30 feet in length compared to ordinary
waves which are about 900 feet long,
have already made possible police
radio and private radio telephony.
Past experiments have indicated the
short waves behave more like light
rays and that they do not travel far
around the curvature of the earth as
long waves do. being directed straight
ahead in the line of sight toward the
horizon.
If Explorer II" reaches its maxi
mum height of IA miles above the
earth it is estimated the horizon will
be 335 miles away. To check on the
behavior of the short waves the
Bureau of Standards. which is super
vising the experiment, has officially
designated radio stations over the
country to report on the signals.
From their reports and the position
and height of the balloon. radio en-
gineers will calculate whether the
waves penetrate beyond the horizon,
and If so, how far beyond.
These findings are expected to be
of Importance in the future develop
ment of radio, particularly television,
which may use the short-wave bands
for operation.

Few employees of the Govern.

ever get the chance to see the
world which recently fell to at
tractive sylvia Medow, of the
Veterans Administration.
sylvia is back at her desk today
after a tour with her father that
embraced Egypt, the Holy Lands,
Russia, Turkey and Greece,
jaunt that covered more than
three months and constituted
what up to the time of the en-.
barkation had been her foremost
ambition.
Egypt, she found, was the most
interesting Of the countries she
visited. Contrary to what she had
formerly believed, the natives OF
that country are not dark, but
of a light cream complexion, and
she asserts both men and women
are unusually handsome. In the
harbor of Alexandria she had the
thrill Of seeing the British Medi-
terranean fleet in maneuverS.
Born in Belgium, Miss Meadows
worked for the city of Detroit be-
fore taking a Veterans Admins
tration berth 18 months ago as a

ance claims division. She is pretty,
with intelligent dark eyes, and en-
