34 “WIRED WIRELESS" PATENTS ABUUIREI]' Economic Utilization Sought of Reception by Power or Telephone Lines. “Wired wireless” interests for sev- eral years have been taking up pat- ents with which they have hoped to perfect the system of program recep: tion via house power or telephone lines. Behind the project is the inven- tive genius of Maj. Gen. George O. 8quier, former chief of the Army Sig- mal Corps, who concelve(l the idea of ®wired wirele: Briefly, the “wired wireless” system would do away with antenna picl¢up and would bring into the home pro- grams transmitted direct from studios via electric lines. These would be am- plified through a three-tube receiving set, known as the “monophone.” The advantages claimed for the system are the climination of static and a practically negligible upkeep, for no batteries would be required; in fact, nothing more would be needed than the small recelver. “Wired wireless” has been prac- tically demonstrated. One of the pri- mary reasons advanced by Gen. Squier for the belief that it will be taken up by the telephone companies and the public is that the telephone wires intc the homes of the land are idle most of the time. Company estimates are quoted to show that the 16,000,000 tele- phones in the country are used an average of only six times a day for average calls of 3 minutes, or a total of only 18 minutes a day for each phone. Economic utilization of these idle wires, over which high-class programs might be carried into the homes, is the “key” to the whole scheme. The sale of “monophones” at small cost, because they could be produced on ntass scale, would establish virtually a new industry. The usual revenues ‘would be derived by those putting on the programs in the same way that radio broadcasting stations derive their incomes: that is, principally by indirect advertising. Whether the phone interests Save taken up the “wired wireless” 3dea has not been stdted. The new eystem obviously would do away with some radio reception, especially for those listeniers who care only for local programs and would rather get them free from the disturbances of the ether. It is possible that it could be established as a complement to local radio broadeasting, the same program that is put on the air being sent out on the wires also. Wire transmission and amplification is entirely possible, but the lure of radio is an undeniable fact. “‘Wired ‘wireless” may be taken up under the auspices of the wire interests, who practically left the radio field with the zale of WEAF by the A. T. & T. Co. to the National Broadcasting Co., but it is doubtful whether it can displace radio. Its sponsors say it is not intend- ed to do sq; that, on the other hand, it will free the ether from its present broadcasting \'lu!ler by relieving the ;m\'e len of their surplus of traf- c. WRC and its associated stations in National Broadcasting Co.'s red net- work, tonight will resume the series of weekly radio auction bridge games which proved so popular last season. Milton C. Work, Wilbur Whitehead and Sidney S. Lenz of flew York, to- gether with Comdr. Willfield Liggett, Jr.. of Harrisonburg, Va., have pre- pared the plays to be used in the ir- itial game of the new series. Another addition to WRC's program, which is to be a nightly feature, is a broadcast of the weather forecast at 10:30 o'clock. A motor oil firm will ®ponsor distribution of this forecast. Laurette Taylor, star of “Peg ¢’ My Heart” and a_number of other stage successes, will appear before the mi- crophone for the second time in the Eveready hour, WRC's outstanding musical feature. She is scheduled to gl‘v: excerpts from plays in which she . l‘ta “Tt;:“mm o(hmp dise” e perenn ly ular in ,Pe o' My Heart.” i &5 The Radio Calvacade, which will broadcast from 10:30 to 11:30 o’clock, has marshaled for its weekly program 2 number of vocal and instrumental artists and character im, nators. ‘These_include the Craig s, Mac and Lennie, Jack Cohan, popular M.lnfl. and Evan Davis and Bobby , impersonators.

WRC listeners who are following the fortunes of the pedestrians, Cotton and Morpheus, “of the Sealy Air Weavers. will find them en route to 4 Chicago tonight via airplane. Vocal duets and saxophone and vibraphone #plos compose the major portion of the Air Weavers' musical program. “The Honorable Wu,” a profes- slonal Chinese imitator, and the musi- ? features of “The Feast of Lan. rns” are the principal attractions of the weekly radio movie club of WMAL, which will be broadcast to- might from 10:30 to 11:30 o'clock. The remainder of WMAL'’s lengthy program s crowded with features. Thege include dance music by the Villa Roma Entertainers and selec- tions, the Harmonfous Quartet and the Columbia Hawalian Guitar and TUkulele Club.
