Signor Marcon! has announced that he ex- pects to attain startling results in the near future. The French govern- ment also is studying the guestion in connection with the Eiffel tower sta- tion. The French government has loaned apparatus to the Jacques Car- er, a French line cargo carrier, with which the ship’s messages have been trans to Eiffel tower on & 1 band. Vice versa, the ship has been able to recelve Eiffel Tower signals sent out on 115 meters with a 400 transmitter similar to the one loaned the Jacques Cartier, the recelving apparatus in both cases consisting of @ one-tube outflt. flization of the short wave length opens an entirely new fleld to the development of wireless communica- tion. As a matter of fact the Jacques Cartier uses her 400-watt station to forward directly to Paris weather ssages recelved from Alaska, Japan nd Russia. This saves considerable time and enables the Paris weather bureau to have in a few hours suf- flclent elements to draw an accurate weather chart for all of the northern hemisphere. The Paris weather bureau and the Jacques Cartier work in close co- operation with the United States weather burean and with Maj. E. H. Bowle, a ploneer in that branch, who has contributed valuable informa- tion on the subject. Capt. Marcel Covecque is in charge of the bureau aboard the cargo carrier, and A. M. Robert I8 the wireless chiet. Radio Advertiving Standards, In an effort to secure standards for truth in radio advertisements, the Better Business Bureau of Washing- ton has announced some principles of advertising, which have been adopted by the radlo merchants' association. The plan is considered a constructive means by which public confidence may bo secured. The appropriation and numbers or letters for identifying vacuum tubes manufactured by others than the original companies 1s taboo. Fer example “U. V. 139" is held to apply only to tubes made hy. of type ted direct from San Franelsco | l the Radlo Corporation of America. and should not be employed by other manufacturers. Sets built by retailers In their stores should be so marked and not sold as factory products; this applies to neutrodyne sets particularly, it is pointed out When merchandise is advertised as reduced from a certain price list but represented as possessing the list price value, it should also carry the original guarantees. Claims for re- ception should be based upon aver- age reception and not freak achieve- ments, the new policy declares, Advertisements should state wheth- | er a set is complete or not, or what accessories, If any, are fncluded at the quoted price. Other regulations include standard battery claims, re- quire that obsolete and obsolescent ap- paratus should not be represented as still standard, and that when a set is advertised as a leader the dealers should have a sufficient supply on hand to fill reasonable public de- mands. These principles, it is held, will tend to give the radio purchaser faith in both advertisements and dealers, gning O for SOS Calls. When an SOS call is heard by any commercial, amateur or private broadcasting station the law pro- vides that all stations give it priority and cease sending. Whils many broadcasting stations are quite con- sistent in complying with this regu- lation, Department of Commerce offi clals state that all do not comply Frequently interference is noted when a ship at sea is calling for ald and other ships and shore stasions are | N trying to communicate with her, re- laying messages and locating ship: In the nelghborhood of the disabled vessel. Of course the distress call goes out on 600 meters, which should not in- terfere with any but the broadcasters using wave lengths well above 400 meters, but all must cease transmit- ting until the Navy announces that all is well. It is possible that the department may permit broadcasters on the lower wave lengths to con- tinue broadcasting during such silent ntinued on e 54 ! At |Radio to A pprise New Yorkers of All Major Accidents Police Test Set Designed to End Jamming of Phone Lines. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 17.—A radio set, to be used as an additional means of communication between po- lice headquarters and the various po- lice stations throughout Greater New York, was successfully tested vester- day. it Is proposed to * from WNYC, the mun; ing station, reports dents and automobile ing In the accldent cases of those persons killed or injured. This, city officials belleve, will pre- vent the Jamming of the regular po- lice telephone system by the great number of Inquiries coming Into headquarters after such accldents. The general public may “listen in,” or go to nearby police stations for information, thus leaving the regu- lar telephone wires open for the transaction of routine business. In the case of automoblle thefts, or other matters in which speed is the prime requisite in apprehending criminals, the various precincts would be notified from headquarters by code. For such emergencies, the regular program from WNYC would be in- terrupted, to be resumed later.

In brief, we have one of those annoying ama teur radio sending stations in our midst; the amateurs can make all the defense and accusations of the cheap- er receiving sets they care to make, but that does not stop the annoyance. Papers from other oities and towns tell the same story of amateur in- terference. There aro mors than 100 recefving sets in this town (Laurel, Md.), and when this one amateur starts with his “hello's” and whistles, about 9 out of 10 have to hang up and give way to him. Now is this fair, even | It he s within his <th and hours frequently happens on rnoons when many want hear the sermons, espectally those confined to thelr homes and unable to go to church.
