He says his new broadcasting invention completely isolates sender and receiver from interference or listening in. Marconi and others claim similar devices. Pocket radio phones may not be ds far in the future as you believe. The tendency in radio is toward simplicity and usefulness. Right now it’s mainly a toy. Why Not Tell Japan? BONS should advertise among each other, urges Stanley Baldwin, the British politician. A good sug- gestion. For instance, Uncle Sam would conduct a gigan- tic newspaper advertising campaign in Japan to tell Jap- anese the truth about why we exclude them. Cost would be considerable, but very cheap compared with possible war costs later. Fifty millions, spent in hostile countries by England, Germany, France and Russia, would have ‘averted the world war. Gold From Abroad OLD has been pouring into our country from abroad at a rate of 40 million dollars a month, so far this year. We now have 4,500 million dollars worth, or more than half of the world’s supply. It helps keep prices high. Our predicament will be serious if other leading nations, drained of their gold, quit using the yellow metal as the basis of their money systems and instead use a more scien- tific backing such as units of human energy. Dr. Adolf Miethe, German, claims he has discovered how to turn mercury into gold. Cost is above value, so far. What if a cheap process is found? Turning lead into gold is not impossible. What a ghastly joke if, having cornered most of the world’s gold, it suddenly were made worthless by chemical discovery. Jay : Walkin g HE reckless auto driver gets all the blame usually. But there are just as many reckless pedestrians as drivers, even more. In New York city, for instance, dur- ing 1923, a total of 130 people were killed by autos while jay-walking between street intersections, only 82 killed at crossings. Common sense convinces that both driver and pedestrian are not careful enough. Things are improving. There are more accidents than formerly, but fewer for each 1,000 cars—just more cars in use now. Power From Coal ERMANY is rapidly building up a system of burning cheap grade coal at the mines and turning it into elec- tric power for transmission long distances over high-ten- sion wires. 2 This will be the eventual solution of the fuel problem in America. For one thing, it would save an enormous amount of transportation. Copper wires cost less than railroad tracks and gondola and hopper coal cars. And it’s far cheaper to “ship” electricity than coal. Zepps or Planes? ‘HE ZR-3, giant Zeppelin being built in Germany for the United States, is expected to be brought across the Atlantic before autumn. It is 650°feet long and car- ries 20 passengers and a large cargo 5,280 miles at 68 miles an hour without stopping for fuel. It’s not yet definitely decided whether the main air traf- fic of the future will be in these balloon-type craft or planes. Odds right now are sige in favor of planes.
