We have a modest amount of capital sufficient no doubt to see us through year as far as liv- ing expenses are concerned. Two of us are single, one married but no children, so there would be four in the group if it was ad- visable to take the wife of one of the party along. One of the group is a mechanic, one plumb CT, the other an accountant.

Receivers Placed on Sale
AS Infant Industry
Tests Apparatus
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE
History will remember April
of 1899 as the month America
became television-conscious.
The research of more than
10 years, the expenditure of
more than $4,000, 900 will be
climaxed when radio manu-
facturers place commercial
television receivers on the
market for the first time.
At least this announcement
was made last October by
David Sarnoff of the Radio
Corporation of America,
speaking for the American
Radio Manufacturers associ-
alton. simultaneously, when
the New York Worlds fair opens
April 80, commercial telecasting
will begin in the Manhattan metro
politan area.
Before the year is out additional
transmitters will be operating COM
mercially at Schenectady and (pos-
sibly) Los Angeles.
But this most fascinating of mod
ern sciences will still be wearing
short trousers, ensnared in more
technical, economic and artistic diff
ficulties than the complicated mo-
ton picture industry ever imagined.
Strange to say, the least of these
problems is that of technique. Ten
years ago visionary television en-
gineers dreamed of the great fu-
ture in this business, once equip
ment could be perfected. The
weird situation today is that tele-
vision is mechanically quite perfect
but programming and financing
have been neglected.
Horizon is Maximum Distance.
The receivers going on sale next
month will project an 8 by 10-inch
image into your living room, pro-
vided you live within horizon-range
of the Empire State building or a
1900 foot mountain near Science
tady. Also provided you can pay
from $3.50 to $1,000 for a receiver.
The former has sight only, the lat
ter both sound and sight.
Behind that image in your living
room is a devastating completely
of electrons, light beams, photogra-
ply and ultra-short waves. Stand
ing before a camera in the Empire
State building, your favorite politi-
clan will harangue his no-longer-
unseen audience with gestures as
well as vocal infections, all of which
are picked up by a camera-sound
combination. Whereas a regularly

a second. Since each complete i'm
age contains 100000 dots, you get
6,000,000 second, which is lot of
dots.
There's good reason for televi-
sion's narrow broadcasting range.
To transmit both pictures and sound
requires channel six times the
distance from top to bottom of your
radio dial, which means that tele-
vision must turn to the UNEMPLOYED
field of ultra-short waves. Here is
encountered still another problem.
Regular long radio waves shoot
into the air, bounce off the iono-
sphere and come back to earth. Not
SO ultra-short waves. Highly indie
pendent, they proceed in a straight
line out over the horizon and zip
off into space, never returning. Con-
sequently all television audiences
are confined to eye-shot of the trans
hitting station.
The one exception is that broad
casts may be "piped" from one

Florida Canal, Brainchild Of King, Still Coveted

WASHINGTON. - An idea first
conceived by King Philip II of Spain
is today worrying the United States
senate commerce committee. The
195-mile Florida ship canal, on
which work was stopped in 1886 aft
er congress refused to vote more ap-
preparations, is being preached
again this year by the administra-
ton. Public hearings are scheduled
starting March Is.
Cutting across northern Florida
from Atlantic ocean to Gulf of Mex
leo, the $500, 900, 900 project calls for
a minimum bottom depth of 400 feet
and minimum depth of 33 feet.
Only 3 per cent of the work was
finished by the time Camp Roose-
welt closed down in 1886.
Opponents claim the canal would
damage Florida's water supply to
the south and bring numerous dam
age claims against the government.
Southern Florida commercial CEN
tiers have raised natural opposition
because commerce in the southern
part of the peninsula would obvious
ly be damaged. Other opponents

vised from London and bounced

Artistically television compares
with motion pictures. Only it has
more ramifications. The first per-
Torrance must be letter-perfect be-
cause it is the last performance.
There are no retakes to correct
poorly acted scenes, nor any time
to debate the proper instant to "fade

New Field for Programming.
Once established, television holds
tremendous program possibilities.
Writing for the Christian Science
Monitor, Volney D. Hurd visualizes
evening foreign affairs discussions
with the commentator pointing out
spots of interest on the map OF
Europe. A few minutes later news
events of the day may be recreat-
ed by motion pictures taken at the
actual scene few hours earlier.
The next morning cooking school
will show someone actually prepar-
ing food. Visual education broad
casts will become important.
If $1O,OO0,OOO has already been
spent to bring television into its
present infancy, many more mil
lions must be spent to give it the
polish of our modern radio pro-
grams. The distance handicap and
the expense of piping" may be
technical problems, but they're bust
ness problems, too. Add to this the
fact that half-hour television pro-
duction will cost $4,000 lover one

HE and making the vivid green
more vivid still. On every side the
tapestry of woodland was shot with
gold, the stream was afire with
splendor and sitting beside its
water was Elizabeth, Countess of
Brief.
Her beautiful head was bare and
her eyes were fixed upon the tree
tops as though she were expecting
the heaven above to open and make
her rich: but for me the heaven had
opened and I seemed to be
regarding some idyll that did not be-
long to earth, but had been sung by
Shakespeare to please the gods.
So I looked upon my fortune.
Then 1 went down to the mead

Nearly an hour went by before
Herrick arrived-for which I was
very thankful, because his car was
to take Elizabeth back.

won't go mad again, will you? Re-
member that the Duchess of Whelp

that, after all that she's done, you
can't let her down."
With sudden movement, picked
her up in my arms.
"Shall tell you something's" I
said.
eyes, please"
A warm arm slid round my neck.
To-day I came back to my
dream: and as long as my dream
will have me, I shall never leave it
again. I must 60 to London later, if
only to change my name. But I will
not go, unless you go with me. Take
what companion you like. Take half
a dozen women-to shut Propriety's
mouth. Kick your heels, while I'm
doing my business. Only, be there
You see, you are my dream.
A week ago I rendered you unto
Caesar-and tore my heart. And
now Caesar has given you back
has given me back my dream. Well,
that's all right: but the wound in my
heart will reopen if ever I leave you
again. And that, / tell you frankly,
/ cannot face. When I left you,
knew very well I was leaving my
life behind. But not until I was
gone did / know what it meant to
be dead-a dead man having his
being amid a workaday world"
For two or three moments she
held my head against hers. Then
she let it go and turned to look into
my eyes.
"My blessed" she breathed, ''I'm
so thankful I mean so much. You
see, I've given you all. I've no
more to give. Heart and soul and
body-you hold them in your strong
hands. They're not mine any more.
They're at your disposal, Rich
ard. And if ever you ceased to
care, the body would wither, for the
heart and the soul would die"
I would have answered her, but
the words would not come, for I
could think of nothing but the look
in her glorious eyes. I cannot tell
what exquisite language they spoke,
but understood their saying bet
ter than any words. I had that day
been ennobled by the Duchess of
Whelp; but now I was exalted in
spirit, and a spring seemed to break
within me for joy that Elizabeth
Virgil had come to love me so well.
Then she smiled, and I kissed her
mouth and set her down on her feet.
