UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Amateur radio work was carried
on during the World War, but reg
ular day-by-day broadcasting came
after Its close.
There has been dispute as to
whether Station WWJ of Detroit or
KDKA of Pittsburgh or VIVA of
Madison, Wise, was first to put on
a daily program. We may have
notes on this point at some later
time. In any case the years from
1920 to 1923 saw broadcasting sta
tions come into being in many cities.
Thousands of persons heard public
speakers and musicians send words
and music over the air.
At this point wish to 20 into the
phrase "over the air" The words
are used quite commonly, but we
must be careful to remember that
the air does not carry radio waves.
They 60 through it, but are not
carried by it.
What a difference it would make
If radio waves moved like sound
waves! A sound wave, moving with
the help of the air, travels only
about one-fifth of mile per second.
At this rate 1t would take l minute
to go a distance Of IL miles.
If there were an explosion loud
enough to be heard from Ottawa,
Canada, to Mexico City the sound
waves would travel 1890 miles. To

Don't Take Nv
Word for It
BY FRANK COLBY.
Usually
Adv. In the usual manner.

In the average vocabulary this
word usually is telescoped to three
syllables as "YOU-zhu-lee." Two
other familiar words likewise short
ened are considerably and annually,
mispronounced -SID-uh- -blee"
and "AN-yuh-lee
Speakers who are considerate of
their accents will want to give to
these and similar words the proper
number of syllables. The short
ened forms in the first paragraph
are classed as vulgarisms.
Correct pronunciations:
YOU-zhoo- -uh-lee.
Consider -uh-blee.
AN-you-uh-lee.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)
Question: What is the origin Of
the expression dyed in the wool?"
$ I.
Answer-This dates from pre-
Civil War days. It means to dye
the wool before spinning or weav-
ing it.
When Daniel Webster was a stu
dent he rode. on horseback to Dart
mouth College. His clothes were
homespun. The College Courant,
1871. reports: HE had the blues
for many days after his arrival be-
cause a drenching rain had washed
the indigo from his new suit dyed

Radio Waves Differ From Sound

The secret is the change from
sound waves to electric waves. Sound
waves Of the voice. or of q musical
instrument, are changed into elec-
trio waves which can move with
the speed Of light.
The electric radio waves move
through things which are in their
way-houses, hills, mountains-and
reach the radio sets in our homes.
They are caught" in a radio set
and are turned back into sound
waves.
So we hear music and human
voices from points which may be
thousands Of miles distant. It hap
pens In the twinkling of an eye. It
is . part Of the magic" OF the
modern world. Many programs are
not 0 good as they should be. but
in time the quality is likely to be
better.
There was q time when all motion
pictures were silent" Today we
have talking pictures. That is . big
change. A change Of equal i'm
portance is going on in radio. Our
next story will be about early tele-
vision.

umph. Excitedly, he showed her
the plans he had made and told
her how his device would work
She could not understand the
drawings, but she believed in him.
On March End of the following
year he applied for a patent, but
before it was granted he died on
March IL, 1880. The patent was
issued a few months later.
Over year ago the New Eng
land seas once more engulfed a
submarine, the Squalus, off Ports
mouth. None of us will ever for
get the tense mixture of pride and
fear with which we listened to the
stories of the rescue of the men
who were in it. While we were at
our radios, however, there was one
listener who saw over the whole
tragedy the guiding figure Of her
husband. She was woman alone
in an apartment in Brooklyn, and
she knew that these lives were be-
ing saved because of the plans that
she had seen strewed over that
bed on December night nearly
twelve years before. The diving
bells that made the rescues posi-
BILE were built on the plans for a
'submergible apparatus" that the
sick and almost agonizing man
had drawn when the S4 had gone
down with all hands. In his own
words he had left his patent to be
administered by his wife, for the
use of the men in our Navy first,
then for the men of all navies, all
ships"
His interest in the Navy had
been the passion of all his working
life. Born into a mechanical fam
lily in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he
had come through boyhood with
tools around him, and had develop
ed a natural knack for work of a
mechanical sort. Finding promo
tion slow, he and his older brother
decided that the Navy held a
brighter future for them than
their native city. So they headed
for the West Coast, and enlisted in
the Navy at San Francisco in 1909.

RING THE BELL

An Italian who was working on a
railway in Florida had been told to
beware of rattlesnakes, but was as
sured that they would always give
the warning rattle before striking.
One day he was sitting on pine
log eating his dinner when he saw
a big snake coiled few feet in front
of him. Keeping an eye on the rep
tile, he began to raise his feet from
the ground. and as he did so the
snakes fangs hit the bark beneath
him, no warning having been given.
