Start playing a child’s phonograph. Most people feel like stuffing their cars with cotton or walking out of the room. But let that same music travel a few hundred miles through the air—and people will thrill with delight when they hear it. There never was a stronger proof that the quickest way to succeed is to do “the old stuff” in a new way. What the radio fans really are interested in, is the mysterious wireless itself, rather than what they ‘hear by Hertzian waves. The wireless has a basic and universal appeal because it is closely allied with the supernatural, even the uncanny. The history of wireless began 70 or 80 years ago with the experiments in electro-magnetic in- duction by Faraday, Englishman, by trade a book- binder. Heinrich Hertz, German professor, came along Jater and in 1886 made amazing discoveries about an electric spark. bridging. a gap or break in a wire. Scfentific minds immediately began working on the problem of making the electric wave jump thousands of miles instead of an inch or so. People discussed the sanity of Sir William Crookes when, in 1892, he predicted the coming of actual communication by wireless. In 1901 Marconi, brilliant young Italian, sent the first wireless message across the Atlantic — the letter “S,” in code. Many readers will recall the wireless telegraph craze that followed among boys—also their anti- quated equipment, including the coherer and de- coherer, which few youthful radio fans of 1922 ever-heard of. Radio equipment now in use will be just as obsolete, ‘21 years hence. Today nearly every lad knows the wireless secrets that Faraday groped for, 70 or 80 years ago. But radio itself is just as mysterious and uncanny as it was in Faraday’s time. The more we learn about nature’s mysteries, the less we know. Education is merely the process of extending our horizon—increasing our concep- tion of the infinite mysteries that surround us. The system is one of mysteries within myster- ies—like the Japanse boxes within boxes. FLYING A Leoning monoplane air yacht flies 1210 miles, from Palm Beach to New. York, carrying pilot, mechanic and 1600 pounds of cargo. The trip cost less than $75, including fuel and depreciation on the plane. For similar accommo- dations, the trip by railroad would have cost at least twice as much. Flying will be the cheapest form of transpor- tation, within our life-timcs. WONDERS Edmund Candler, British globe-trotter, returns from India, excited about the new capital being built at Delhi. “No works on the same scale,” he writes, “have been undertaken since the days of Pharaoh or! Nebuchadnezzar.” That sort of bunk gets wearisome. The Wool- worth building or the Panama Canal easily is 10 times as wonderful as all the useless Egyptian; pyramids combined. As one of the wonders of the world, the useless} Sphnix is a joke alongsides a flivver or a toy radio set. WEISENHEIMERS Paris is amazed at a hotel porter who steps forth as an authority on the Einstein theory. It develops that he is highly educated, trained for; one of the intellectual professions. He says he} prefers being a porter, because it pays more money. The machine shops of America probably have ; Politicians are responsible for the doubling of the their leaders give them eredit for. That is the | chief reason the bulk of our great men and women are produced from poverty and obscurity. CHINESE Chinese aviators in three bombing planes drop- ped explosives on enemy warships near Canton. One ship was wrecked by: a direct hit. The other ships immediately struck their colors—surren- dered. Major General Patrick, head of our army air service, says this is “the first actual demonstra- tion of the utility of aerial attack in actual war- fare. It is significant and prophetic of what un- doubtedly will occur in greater wars of the fu- ture.” SLUMP The general business slump, which began in Germany during April, continues. Money is tight- cning there, banks charging 10 per cent for long- time loans. That is the cable report to our Department of Commerce from Commercial Attache Herring, stationed at Berlin. It is important news, more vital than most of the political happenings on the other side of the Atlantic. For the whole future of Europe, for at least the next five years, depends on keeping the Germans at work. Idle nations, like idle men, cannot pay their bills. PENNIES Gasoline isn’t the only thing that is moving up in price. Steel in the last 60' days has risen an average of about $3 a ton., Common brick ad- vances, New York paying as high as $20 a thou- sand for what recently cost $16.50. Coffee in many cities rises 2 and 3 cents a pound. Signs point to a secondary period of inflation. But it will be a short one, if the precedent of past deflationary periods repeats... ‘ A penny is added here, a penny there. The humble penny is what keeps most of,us poor and makes a very few rich. SPOILED Magistrate Alexander Brough starts finding New York food dealers $1 for each pound of food, unfit to eat, found in their possession. Expansion of this policy to national dimensions might be a good way to pay off the war debt speedily. : Maybe it’s for the best that we don’t know the history of everything we eat in civilization. If we did, voluntary starvation might become epi- demic. Civilization is the cleanest and the filthiest thing on this little planet of ours. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are preacnicd here in order that our readers may have both sides of imporeart eues which are being’ discussed in the prese of the day. Q WORLD BANKING The Genoa economic conference failed because Russian politics obscured economics. It is now strangely said that “changed conditions” are un- propitious for the meeting of the central bankers which was to follow the Genoa conference. The conditions have changed only by not changing. America may yet raise a standard of non-political banking to which all will rally who agree with us. The need is great. An American banker cabled to the United States Chamber of Commerce that mest of the world’s central banks “present vary- ing degrees of insolvency.” That is so because of the close connection between Goverhments and even the best of the banks. So long as commercial banking is subordinated to fiscal banking the world’s financial sickness will-continue. The bad state of Government finance is the source of the threatened instability of banks. We cannot de- part from our banking principles any more than we could palter with Bolshevism. We must pur- sue the path from,which other world bankers have wandered, both f friends. are under the necessity of financing Government deficits with currency issues. We see our duty to use our excess gold in a world interest, but it is a higher duty not to waste it. We are in the fourth year of peace, but neither Governments nor banks in Europe have altered their war methods. War expenses are still a chief cause of unbalanced budgets. One or two Govern- ments have started on the path which their bank- ers as well as ours know they must follow. Space would fail to recite the delusions in banking which have been current. Politicians must pander to economic illiteracy, but no Tree banker will do so. world’s national debts since the war, and for the tripling of currency issues in the same period. If the world bankers’ conference were to condone these financial misdeeds it would be a worse fail- ure than the Genoa conference. There have been four economic conferences.

The background for in- formation and judgment must be laid early, Study all phases of current book output, read trade papers and study reviewing mediums, Study a foreign language or keep up the one you have.
