Woman Asks Friends to Pretend | er Ig AhTIGLES RATIFIED AT RADIO CONFERENCE Regulations Specify Procedure for Land and Ship Com- munications. By the Assoclated Press. Under the chairmanship of Secre. tary Hoover, the international radio conference yesterday completed the | most strenuous day since its fnaugura- ion, with the ratification in plenary | session of 18 articles of the new radio convention and of the accompanying wireless regulations referred to it by committees. Five other articles were referred back to committees for re- drafting. The articles adopted, only slightly different from those of the oid London conventlon, specify procedure for ommunications between land and ship stations and include rules for the | licensing of stations and safeguards gainst interference with ship distress alls, The question of fixing the dates of the next international telegraphic conference arose vesterday when the lclglan delegate reported that his gov- nment had expressed a_willingness to hold it in Brussels in 1928 instead of 1930, as now scheduled. The change, yet to be decided upon, was suggested 1n order that the question of telegraphic code word practice, barred from the present conference, could come up for early solution.

The Sterling Mfg. Company Cleveland, Ohio TS territory. In the meantime the | England amateur radio network was working away constantly with | official and unofficial messages. Until |a telegraph wire went into Montpelier civilians relied upon the amateur transmitters there to send out word of their condition. Even afterward, with the wires crowded, the amateurs were kept busy, and from all accounts they are still carrying a big share of the traffic. The Briggs station in Washington and those in Montpelier are among the 2,000 amateur stations in the coun- try holding certificates from the War Department as Army amateur sta- tions. Co-operating with the Ameri- can Amateur Radio League, which is headed by Percy Hiram Maxim, the inventor, Gen. Saltzman several vears ago organized this network of a- teur stations with particularly able and qualified operators. The under- standing with these operators is that in case of war or other emergency both station and operator are to be at the disposal of the Government, The Ist Corps Area has about 150 of these stations, and its network has been developed more completely than any other corps, due to the efforts of Capt. Thomas C. Reeves, now in_the Philippines, and Capt. John P. Fer- riter, at Boston, assisted by a reserve Signal Corps officer, Lieut. Davis B. Boyden, who operates station 1-SL at Boston. Armistice day ceremonies and spe- clal musical programs featuring fa- miliar war songs form a dominant part of the radio entertainment sched- uled tonight by WRC and WMAL. Aside from the ceremonies incident to the dedication of the Canadian mon- ument to American soldiers in Arling- ton Cemetery, which WRC is broad- casting this afternoon, several of the station’s leading attractions tonight are flavored with the stirring songs and music of the World War. The Cities Service Orchestra and Cavaliers will present a special dramatic musical arrangement entitled “Memories for Armistice Day.” The Lord Calvert Ensemble, the Whittall Anglo-Persians and “Musical Minjatures” are other WRC features, but the progams of the latter two are devold of war music. The Anglo- Persians have a program replete with the seductive dance melodies of the Orient, while the *“Musical Minigtures’ will be dedicated to Holland, the land of dykes and wooden shoes. Another talk by Santa Claus, dinner concerts by the Waldorf-Astoria and Burlington Orchestras, and a latedance program by the Wardman Park Or- chestra complete WRC’s program. WMAL is featuring a special Armi- stice day program under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, | which will be broadcast from the Wil- |lard Hotel between 10:15 and 11:30 N (Y Have a 48 yard line seat on’ Caruso w%n.ld have chosen the Peerless as his radio speaker.
