USE FISH FOR CANDLES. Alaskan Indians Find Eulachons, 0il Soaked, Give Good Light. From the Ohlo State Journal. Alaska has done her best in an- nouncing her material and fantastic features, now that that faraway land is in the spotlight. The latest odd gffering in her pub- licity is the Siwash Indian announce- ment that they know of a fish, much like a smelt, to which they have glven the name eulachon, that can be dried and used as a candle, being so tull of heaVy fish ofl that it burns nearly as well as a sperm candie. So the fish supplies food, the ol is extracted for use in oooking and in preparation of skins for wearing ap- parel, and the surplus fich are dried for candies to be used in the long. winter evenings, and the Siwash smile may be taken to indicate the bellef that other parts of the world will have to go pretty lively to equal| that story. her | although | SEPTEMBER BY RADIO TODAY Schedule of Wireless News and Entertainment. .

Bits of news and imperative infor would huve been put through by but radio is said by Secretary of merce Hoover to have literal! {day in bringing in reli | carrying out the news. To be sure. the first of the disaster came to the Japanese jambassador at Washington by cable from Nagasaki via London—out of the back door.of the east, as it were, and {over cables estimated 15,000 miles long. The Pacific commercial cable from Japan to Bonin Island, reported sub- | merged, and thence to Guam, was put out of service by the earthquake. Mes- | sages are now routed east via Manila, Shanghai and Nagasaki, or west via London. { It remained for radio to carry most | of the official dispatches and new ' DOrts across the Pacific to North America, and radio, aided by the re- | maining’ eable connection of |saki. has handled a tremendous {amount of traffic. The Japanese gov- jernment station at Twaki, or Tomioka, stepped into the breech and the world knows of the excellent service ren- dered by the Ja ese operator, who stood long watch alone. His call and messages of the disaster were picked yp by the Radio Corporation’s station at Boli , Calif., and relayed to all points of the, United States. | “Many radio experts feel that the ter and the severing of communication out of Japan will aid materially in establishing better ra- dio service between Nippon and the world. The policy of the Japanese government has been to control radlo, although American commercial com- anies have been endeavoring to pro- vide better stations and transmission for some time. The Radio Corpo tion hopes that it will be given an opportunity to establish high powered | stations in Japan in connéction with the co-operation it has already given the government toward better radio communication at less than the cable rates. i/} in ¥ saved the as” well as inl | terrible I i ) To Transmit Radio Signals. Standard radio frequenéy signals will again be transmitted by the bu- reau of standards station WWY dur- ing October, November and Decem- ber. These 'signals should be of in- | terest to all transmitting station op- { erators in checking wavemeters and adjusting transmitting and receiving apparatus. Commercial and ship operators will be interested in the transmission of October 20. The signals of November 20 cover approximately the same band as used by Class B broadcasting sta- tions. The frequencies transmitted on December 5 cover those used by all broadcasting stations as well as me used by amateurs.

Al transmissions will be by un- modulated continuous wave teleg- raphy and no announcement will be made by voice. This considerably reduces the time of transmitting any one frequency. The signals will, in other respects, be similar to those transmitted in the past. A complete frequency transmission will include a “general call” a “standard fre- quency signal,” and “announcements. The “general call” will be given at the beginning of the eight-minute period and will_continue for about two minutes, This will include a statement of the frequency. The tandard frequency signal” will be a series of very long dashes with the call letters WWYV intervening. This signal will _continue for about four minutes. The “announcements” will be on the same frequency as the “standard frequency signal” just transmitted, and will contain a state- ment of the measured frequency. An announcement of the next frequency to be transmitted will then be given. There will then be a four-minute in- terval” while the transmitting set ls adjusted for the next frequency.

No Broadeasters Licensed. For the firat (ime in many months 20 new broadcasters sought icenses for stations during the week ending Hoptember 8. This is a confirmation of predictions of Secretary Hoover and his radio aides that the saturation point has really been reached. That 567 were enough broadcasters, nearly every one agreed last month, and so few rogret that the pumber has fallen oft four. The point now established Is that evidently those who contem- plated entering the field also recog- nized this fact and refrained from taking out licenses. The activity this month is the least since February, 1922, but ipdicates a better state of stability in the broadcasting fleld. During August seven new stations came Into being, thirteen fransferred from Class C to Class A and eleven caned operation. This leaves the present number of broadcasters at 563 stations, a large percentage of which are g0od, reliable stations, like- ly to survive sometime.

Public antipathy against Germany's war plans of the future should not be increased by the report from Berlin that the German government can stop and render powerless automobiles, |airplanes or other motor vehicles b. jradio. Herr Prostrat Hermann { Thurn, an administrative head of the | German wireless service, dismissed | the stories as “so much nonsenge.” in 0 interview sent officially to Wash- ington. He further stated that the correspondent who sent dispatches to papers in the United States to the effect that in June a number of auto- mobiles en route to Hamburg were ;halted when their magnetos were stopped by powerful radio waves from Nauen, was the victim of un- scrupulous = persons. o such achievement has yet been anywhere reached,” the German engineer as- serted, adding that even if it had been attained by Germany “it would have most certainly been kept a secret and not bruite about by anybody con- {nected with Nauen.” | This official information also d leredits the stories that alirplanes of {France flying over Bavarla were stopped and forced down by radio waves from German stations, Both stories of radio magneto con- trol are impossible, according to the German radio expert, who pointed out that: Magnetos are inclosed in iron or steel jackets and could not be influenced by radio waves; no mat- ter how powerful, radio waves cannot be directed with' precision so as to |affect the magneto of a vehicle or vessel at any istance from the di- recting station, particularly when the vehicle is in motion; and that, as definite or precise directing cannot be achleved, every vehicle or vessel the zone of influence of th ] rical wav would be similarly laffected. This would stop, bring j Gown or sink the vehicles or ships of operating agency as well as e of the enemy. Some skeptics muy believe that the for inter- | | 1 | trafiic | q Herr Administrator would have de- nied the statements in an effort to protect Germany’'s secret radio con- trol, but the official forwarding the dispatches belleves implicitly in this radlo engineer, whom he knows per- sonally and professionally, and he feels ‘that his negations and criti- cisms should be taken without res- ervation, Favors NAA Wave Change.
