in which he won from Bernard

1t was an excellent performance.

At the request Of the Army the
Federal Communications Commits
sion has Just banned all "hams"
(amateur radio operators) COM
pletely from the air. Previously
the headquarters station of the
Radio Relay League was allowed
to broadcast in order to keep its
members advised as to developments
in the emergency network, and in
dividual members Of the network
could test broadcast. 1t was found
that all this carried too far to sea,
and had to be stopped.
In order to keep their hands in
1t looks as though the hams will
have to start building receiving sets.
Previously most all Of them built
their own sending equipment, but
bought commercial receivers. II
they can obtain parts they may
have a try at developing new and
better receivers.
There was an interesting visitor
at the last meeting of the Metro
politan Society of Model Engineers
in the person Of Robert Meira, from
Rio de Janerio, civil engineer. He
is here to study American railroads
and railing methods.
Mr.. Meira has been here about
one year and is connected with the
Brazilian equivalent Of our Inter-
organization differs from ours in
that the Brazilian government OWNS
certain railroads which are operated
by Mr.. Meira's unit, which also
exercises control over the others.
He is building models OF our rail-
road equipment to take back to
Brazil as part Of his findings on
the subject and we suspect that
he has a fondness for the models
for their own sake. He has been
a model builder in the past, having
once built gas model planes.
The Capitol Model Aeroneers' new
officers are: President, William Pen
noyer; vice president, Samuel Wal
lace; secretary-treasurer. Charles
Weiss. Several Of the members are
building tether model planes and
we hope shortly to be able to tell
you when and where these latest
type models may be seen in night.
NO MEETINGS THIS WEEK.
but the Metropolitan Society of
Model Engineers will be working
in the clubroom. 1856 Union Station,
on Monday and Friday as usual.
Workers are welcome.
