REGULATOR SOON T0 GUIDE RADIO Master Signal to Go Out From Special Standards Bu- reau Transmitter. A master radio signal soon will crackle through space to begin a con- tinuous service as the regulator of all radio transmissions throughout the range of the spectrum. Booming behind 20,000 watts of power, this signal will be sent on short waves. By tuning in on it any station broadcasting code or even television will be able to ascertain whether it is on its proper ethereal course. This sig- nal, controlled by the “primary stand- ard of frequency,” will emanate from a new_specially designed transmitter of the Bureau of Standards, the custodian of standards of every type. It will fill a real need, and should go a long way toward developing the two most intricate and important engi- neering aspects of radio—television and synchronization. Both of these, now embryonic, are vitally dependent upon precise frequency maintenance. master signal will provide this guide with the minutest degree of constancy. Legisiative Course Complete. ‘The first step in the project has com- pleted its legislative course. A House committee has approved an appropria- tion of $174,000 for the burea uto pro- cure a site and erect a fleld station to house the equipment. The transmitter is in the hands of the bureau and only the necessary authority to complete the physical construction is needed. A similar bill is pending in the Senate and, it is expected, will encounter no opposition. The station will be located near Washington, under the immediate supervision of Dr. J. H.

In television the problem is that of co-ordinating the speed of the signals transmitted with the speed of the re- ceiving set used by the radio “looker.” THE SuabAY [ENGLISH LANGUAGE SEEN RADIO TONGUE Air Used to Destroy Barriers of | | Speech of Enthusiasts of World.

TO FIND CLERK’S BODY | Three Are Killed When !our-ltory] Warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio, Collapses. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, March 29.—Wrecking crews, using steam shovels, today found the body of Harold Manifold, 20, ship- | ping clerks, buried in debris of a four story warehouse which collapsed yester- day. Three men were killed and fou others injured in the crash. Fellow employes said Manifold was seen to run from his desk toward a rear entrance as the building collapsed. The youth's desk was uncovered by a steam shovel several hours before the body was discovered. Others who were killed were Harry Haverkamp, 18, clerk, and Carl Westen- dorf, 20, stenographer. Police and warehouse officials said overwelghting the warehouse with heavy paper rolls caused the floors to gi way. ONE. at $30,000. Liquor Breaking Up Bees’ Family Life, Apiarist Charges By the Assocated Press. RALEIGH, N. C, March 290.— C. L. Sams, extension apiarist of North Carolina State College, yesterday charged that “the fam- ily life of bees is being broken up in many sections of the State by bootleg whisky.” Mr. Sams has just completed an investiga- tion into an epidemic of deaths among Tar Heel bees. “Stills,” he reported, “are lo- cated much easler by bees than by revenue officers. The bees taste the mash, tell their friends and come back for more. “A yeast, which promotes the growth of a type of fungi, often proves fatal to the imbibers,” the apiarist explained. Scotch Fishing Promising. With the opening of rod and net fish- ing on most of the salmon rivers in Scotland it was announced that the 1930 fishing prospects are good, espe- clally on the Don and Dee, and that nearly all the famous fishing places have been rented. The rents are as high as last year, in some cases $75 a week being paid for half-mile stretches | of_water.
