Other land- lords, more thoughtful as to the com- | fort and happiness of tenants, are in- stalling one aerlal with a recelving set in the basement and running wires to plugs in each apartment, so that occupants who desire may plug in phones or loud speakers. This is fine, but can the owners find janitors capable of operating the sets to suit the listeners-in? The Trotts are sure to want jazz from WHIZ when the Kirks desire sacred music | while the minister is calling. Mrs. B. Serious insists on an oratorio from requests dance music. Willie Whistle calls for a radio talk; Mrs. Dresser, fashions; Mr. Fistl Cuffs, ringside gossip, and Mr. Liter Rary, current topics.

Birmingham, 475 meters. W Cardiff, 350 meters. , Bournemouth, 385 meters Manchester, 375 meters, le, 400 meters. o 0 meters. , 495 meters. heffield '(relay station) | meters.

Fans Pick Candidates? Open politics openly arrived at will become a fact this summer, when the largest audience in history will listen to the deliberations and verbal fire- works of the republican convention in Cleveland and the democratic con- clave in New York. Millions of citizens all over the country at virtually the same instant will learn what is transpiring in the { convention halls through the medium | of radio. And what possibly points a peril to the statesmen thousands of telegrams and telephone calls will flood the convention, re- flecting the judgment and the prefer- ence of the people who listen in Indeed. radio may revolutionize the conventions by bringing about what will be a referendum. Certainly the popular choices will have their day. | " This is a big step from the national |demncrmir convention of 1844, held in Baltimore, when an experiment | was made in sending a_message from | Odd Fellows' Hall in Washington and {an answer returned in the phenome- nal speed of eleven minutes. The nessage announced the nomi- | nation of James K. Polk for the pres- | idency and assured Congress that the $30,000 it had appropriated to enable | Morse to test the efficiency of his tele- | graph had not been wasted. | ! | i | i Esperanto as Radio Language. Seeking to_establish Esperanto as the means of universal communica- tion via radio, an International Radio Association has been formed in Lob- i don, according to an announcement made by the secretary of the Boston peranto Association. This is the | first definite step toward a world | radio tongue, which is urgently need- jed and desired by radio interests, especially in_Europe, where broad- casting extends into several countries. The purpose of the new interna- | tional association is to provide an casy means ,of communication be- tween people of the world through using the international language Es- peranto over the radio. It seeks to furnish technical aid and information by means of Esperanto to those inter- {ested in the development of radio i communication. The perfection of an { Esperanto radio dictlonary is planned {and the publication of an interna- ! tional radio review is contemplated. | This magazine, it is said, would in- | clude a resume in Esperanto of origi- {nal articles on radio developments i from many languages, placing at the | disposal of all readers many technical { documents not now available. Other | subjects pertaining to the weifare {and closer relationship of the radio { world would be covered, as well as | the activities of the new organization. | _Dr. Pierre Corret of Versailles, France, an eminent Esperantist and {radio eéxpert, “has been_ selected as | president, and Harry A. Epton of the | British Esperanto Association, at i London, is serving as honorary sec- retary. According to the latter, the association welcomes members from the world's radio fans, professionals and amateurs, whether they are Es- perantists or not, and {nvites commu- nication with the secretary of the | Esperanto Association of North Amers ica. at Boston. . The backers of the new association point_out that, due to the rapid growth of amateur radio communi- cation between foreign countries and the extension of broadcasting over- { seas, the need of a simple, neutral language is being felt more strongly than ever before. Hence the adoption of Esperanto as a world radio lan- guage is sought. “On every side Es- perantists, naturally informed of the international importance of radio, were among the first to recognize its ability to unite the world,” Mr. Epton writes. He anticipates very soon the radio organizations throughout the world will be obliged to consider an international language to Carry on communications in commercial and amateur traffic and even in broad- casting. for several translations of an ad- dress already transmitted in one lan- guage. Though established twenty-eight years ago, it is only since the world war that Esperanto has begun to Jofinitely attract widespread and se- rious attention from governments, educators, scientists and commerclal bodies. Recently Dr. Frederick G. Cottreil of the National Research Council, at Washington, is reported to have conferred with Dr. S. W. Stratton, president of the Institute of Technology, at Boston, on lie merits of Esperanto in scientific and educa- tional needs. The spring term of the College of the City of New York in- cludes a course on to, which it introduces because of the need for a universal auxiliary language, stat: ing that of those in existence Hsper- anto is the most extemsively ulad: Already it has been used “on the air” here and turther use is planned. Briefly, Esperanto is described as being formed from the best of exist- ing languages, from which were se- lected the greatest common factor, the conveniences and the words easily pronounced. It was designed for use between people of different nationalities. It is declared to be free from exceptions, the bane of many languages, while its spelling is pho- netic, The pronunciation is simple and ihe grammar easily learned, ex- Donents of this form of speech state.

Baltimore, DRUG ADDICTS HIT HARD BY HIGH PRICES Rates for Cocaine, Heroin Morphine Going Up Here Rapidly. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, March 28.—The con- stant pounding against the habit- forming-drug trafic by vaious fe- eral, state and county agencies is be- ginning to have a marked effect in the nation-wide fight, said Federal Narcotic Agent Howard B. Hymes of Washington, who passed through Baltimore foday en route to New York. According to statistics, he claims, narcotic prices in this section are increasing to a point where it will soon be almost impossible for hundreds of addicts to obtain their drug. Many of these addicts work only long enough to lay in a supply to tide them over until they again run out of funds. An inquiry finds morphine, in lots running up to five ounces, is commanding the record price of $125 an ounce.

M. Lambie of the state de- partment of mines and officials of the Yukon-Pocahontas Coal Compan in whose No. 2 mine the explosion oc curred. One hundred and forty men had just _gone into the passage connect- ing No. 1 and No. 2 mines and none had reached their working places at the time of the fatal blast. Of these, only thirty were in the No, 2 mine, and six of that number were near enough the drift mouth that they could make their way back to safety. The 110 in the No. 1 mire were or- dered out by Supt. T. J. Dawson by means of the mine tele- phone and got to open air before the deadly afterdamp spread to that min; through the comnecting passage. Nile to Change Color Soon. Thie Nile river distinctly changes color at least twice a year.

The red is due to the color of the lands from which { the freshets come.
