Rome Poland. Holland and Sweden have all
been experimenting with the possibility of
early television broadcasting. However since
most of these stations are under rigid military
control and are operated as strict government
monopolies, little information is available
about their actual progress. Foreign audiences
do not demand such high quality entertain
ment; novelty alone seems to be sufficient
recompense for relatively poor reception, bad
lighting and fuzzy" pictures.
Up to the present no country has been able
to televise farther than radius of some
thirty to fifty miles from the transmitter,
except on isolated occasions that radio en-
gineers have not been able to explain. This is
one of the major problems upon which they
are now working. Ultra-high Frequency lex
cessively short) waves are used as carriers for
televison Unlike their longer cousins - the
waves that are used for ordinary radio broad
casting - they seldom follow the curvature of
the earth but apparently move in straight
line to the horizon, and from there they con-
tinue on into space, so that only those receiv-
ing sets located within certain distance Of
the transmitter are able to tune in on a
television program. For coast -to-coast sound
broadcast. radio stations are linked together
by ordinary telephone wire. This is not pos
sible in television; the telephone wire just
won't do the trick In sound broadcasting it is
necessary to transmit only about 5000 cleo
trical impulses second - but in teevision
three and half million electrical impulses
must be transmitted each second - and tele-
phone wire cannot carry such load.
But one important victory already has been
won in the fight to make nationwide tele-
vision broadcasts possible. Recently the Bell
Telephone Laboratories have invented a
coaxial cable that can transmit these millions
of electrical impulses each second Use of such
a cable will permit television transmitters to
be linked together so as to extend the radius
of televison program. One of these cables
already has been laid between New York and
Philadelphia, but it has not yet been placed in
operation, and the date of its opening is
uncertain At present the use of this cable
over a great distance is prohibited by the
tremendous expense. For example, coaxial
cable from New York to San Francisco with
eighty or ninety station outlets would cost
approximately one hundred million dollars.
But the battle for nationwide telecasting
goes on Another possibility of linking the
stations together into a nationwide television
network is by stepping up the capabilities OF
eautomatcradiorelay (booste rstations) suf-
ficiently to transmit the ultra-high- frequency
television bands. Several companies are con-

Official Circles
Are Represented.
Mrs. Charles L. McNary, wife of

Italian Flower Cart
Wins Third Prize.
A riot of color was found in the
third prize winner-an italian flow
er cart, arranged by the Trowel Club
of Wesley Heights and the Woman S
National Farm and Garden Asso-
citation, under the general chair
manship of Mrs. Lawrence w.
Douglas of Arlington. Bright red
wheels drew attention to the cart,
which was gay with red, yellow and
blue paint. Here the many varieties
of flowers Wed with the brilliant
colors of the balloons, which were
tied to one of the handles of the
cart. In typical Italian style was
the wooden salad bowl which held
fruit and vegetables, and the the
long loaves of italian bread which
peeped from among the flowers.
Typical, too, were the strings of
bright-colored gourds and peppers
which hung from the cart. Mrs.
Frank Ball of Virginia, Mrs Arthur
T. Esgate of the District of Colum-
bia and Mrs. Francis B. Lincoln of
Maryland were others in charge of
this stand, which was the idea Of
Mrs. Dion Birney, president of the

Over all the flower market hung
the most delightful fragrance-a
mixture Of the most scented flowers
mingling with the spice-like odor
Of herbs and other plants. Here,
indeed, one could forget dull care,
and here, indeed, every one did
Just that. Even the clergy felt the
pull Of spring, and many were seen
wearing the dainty boutonnaires
which were sold from one of the
booths.
Children found the garden par
ticularly to their liking, and ran
and played through the crowds,
waving toys and balloons as they
went. Balloons were the main in
terest, and several tugged away
from the small owners and f1oated
upward into the blue SKY, tossed
hither and thither by the cool
breezes Of the afternoon. Red,
yellow, orange, they lazily blew
along. most Of them finally getting
caught in nearby trees, making it
seem as If some spring-time Santa
Claus had set out to decorate for
an early Christmas.
