A five-year plan for television, an- ticipating the full development of the visual art within that time, has been drafted by the radio industry snd sub- mitted for official sanction. Based upon use of the ultra high frequencies, those channels in the upper reaches of the spectrum hitherto regarded as useless, the Radio Manu- facturers' Association’s Television Com- mittee has submitted to the Federal Radio Commission a series of recom- mendations embodying the new plan. Scientists of the leading companies en- gaged in television experimentations collaborated in the drafting of the plan Use of the existing four television bands in the so-called continpntal short waves eventually would be aban- doned as unsatisfactory, under the plan. Ghost images, like the double exposures of the old movies, and se- rious fading, which distorts the images transmitted, are the most serious ail- ments of television transmission in these bands. Moreover, the bands are * Hugh R. Bird TRAVELERS INS. CO. National 9430 Representing The Travelers Phone National 9430 D. D. LAMBERT Agency 954 Washington Building Telephone NA. 9430 CHAS. L.

The Television Committee suggests recommendations be made by the com- mission to the International Conference to be held in Madrid next Fall, for observance by all nations. The ultra-high frequencies now are outside the realm of _international jurisdiction, for when the last inter- national session was held five years ago they were viewed as utterly worth- less for practical purposes. Wide bands, ranging from 35000 to 80,000 kilocycles, would be staked off for use by television experimenters and to care for the future development of the art. These ultra-high frequencies simulate light waves rather than radio impulses. Radio | Transmission is by “line of sight” which means that a particular televi- slon station apparently only will serve | the area immediately surrounding it. | Thus the engineers feel it will be pos- sible, ultimately, to duplicate many quency band to serve only their local areas, without objectionable interfer- ence. | Course Is Indicated. | D. E._Replogle, chairman of the R. M. A. Television Committee, declared the four 11-kilocycle channels now set aside for television are too few to serve the whole country. He pointed out that use of the ultra-high frequencies, with provision also for the synchronization of sight with sound, seemed the most | promising course, whereas the channels now used are 100 kilocycles wide, or |10 times the width of the ordinary | broadcast channel. The committee pr television stations on the same fre-| poses that a channel width of 1‘0001 kilocycles be permitted for experimen- tation in the ultra-high frequencies. This should provide adequate space for the transmission of pictures of good detail, as well as space for the accom- panying sound program. (Copyright, 1931.) Irish Song Writer Dies.

X-RAY SPECIALIST LOSES ARM DUE TO PRACTICE Amputation Follows Injuries Suf- fered by Dr. Morrison of Boston in 20 Years’ Work. BOSTON, December 38, (#).—Dr. Lawrle B. Morrison, Boston X-ray specialist, has lost an arm in the practice of his profession, it became known last night The scientist was in Faulkner Hos- pital, where his condition was reported as improving. His left arm was am- putated last Monday, the operation re- sulting from injuries he had suffered in more than 20 years of studying and working with the X-ray. IF YOU DRIVE IN MARYLAND, YOU NEED AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE —More Than Ever! 1 As protection against suspension of your operating privilege in Maryland 2 As protection against claims and judgments for injury, death or property damage O YOU realize that the new Mary- land Financial Responsibility Law which goes into effect January 1st, applies to residents of Washington as forcibly as to res- idents of the State of Maryland—while driv- ing in Maryland? Under this law, if you violate certain of the Maryland motor vehicle laws, or if a final judgment is rendered against you because of an automobile accident in Maryland, your privilege of operating your car in the State of Maryland will be suspended until you give proof of financial responsibility. The easiest and best way to show proof of financial responsibility—as well as the most economical — is a certificate of insurance from an insurance company licensed to do business in Maryland. The new law requires a minimum amount of financial responsi- bility of $5,000 for injury to, or death of, one person; $10,000 for injury to, or death of, two or more persons ; and $1,000 for damage to the property of others. This is the minimum amount specified by the law—and far less than anyone who values his peace of mind will carry. And it costs very little to carry more. Agents of The Travelers will be glad to give you quota- tions for your particular needs. Wherever you drive, whenever you drive Even if there were no laws requiring financial responsibility, common sense would dictate the wisdom of automobile liability and prop- erty damage insurance. The accounts of automobile accidents, damage claims, and heavy judgments which appear daily in the papers prove the need for this protection.
