ALL SETS LICENSED BY BERMUDA RULING | Island Government Issues New Regulations Covering Radio Field. The government of Bermuda has an- ! nounced a comprehensive set of regu lations for radio transmission and re- ception in the istind, and requires li- censes even for crystal receivers. The officiai pronouncement of the governor, states that all operators and stations must be licensed, and pro- vided, the following clasification: Pub- lic broadcasting, special research and amateur transmitters, and tube and crystal receiving sets. Broadcasting stations may operate on two bands; between 0 and 125 meters, and 200 and 590 meters. Research stationsmay se- cure special gnments from the governor, and amateurs mn transmit on the low broadeast band, or from 0 to 125 meters ar 5 to 199 meters, with 20 watts power. Ama- teurs, however, must not operate on band from 150 to 199 meters between tween 7 p.m. and midnight, to prevent thelr interfering with the broadcaster: When two or more broadcasters are | found to interfere on adjacent wave channels the governor will ign channels farther separated so as to reduce the interference. All trans. mitting stations are ordered to pro- tect the 600-meter channel and listen in regularly for ship SOS distress sig- nals. Receiving sets which radiate are barred from use. : Fees for broadcasters are 20 shil- Private Smith was chauffeur of the big red Seagrave motor pumper. He knew plenty about engines, but little about horses. So the run necessarily ended at the curb. They Had Not Forgotten, Barney, Gene and Tom had demon- strated, however, that they had not forgotten. “Give them two real runs,” declared Chief Watt, “and they would be as reliable as ever. Don't forget that, besides having been on the farm for a year, they were not used for fire duty for some time before that. So that it really has been a long time since they were called upon for any run except at the farewell run last vear."” A few minutes later, Barney, Gene and Tom were on their way back to Blue Plains. They were not the same docile horses that had wilked serenely up the same street an hour before, however. They had enjoyed a taste of the old life, and the thrill of the clashing bells and excited shouts was still coursing through their blood. It was nearly supper time when they reached the farm, and if they sniffed contemptuously at the rusty old culti- vator in the barn yard, who would blame them? P 1 Because a woman hairdresser, while bobbing her hair, cut off part of her car, a voung woman in London re- cently sued for $100 damages and was awarded §35, lings, and for listenersin 5 ‘shillings on tube sets and 2 shillings on crystal receivers.
