\ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1920 SOME MODERN POSSIBILITIES CONCERNING— The Radio Phone — It Is Only a Matter of Time When Every Individual Will, Be Carrying His Own Little Switchboard—Vest Pocket | Style for Men, Handbag Sets for the Women. Traffic Cop Can Call Up a Speeding Motorist and Tell Him He’s Pinched ’Ere He Catches Him. | By Will B. Johnstone. HIS is getting to be a spooky old world. | Transmitting human voices over telephone wires was mys- | terious enough and still is, ‘ | Then came wireless telegraphy, which is considerable of a thrill to tee imagination. With Sir Oliver Lodge claiming he is getting phone (or phony) 4 messages from the dead, and Marconi is receiving communications from Mars or somewhere. Now comes the announcement that ‘they have berfected the long dis- tance radio phone system. In other words, the human voice can be trans- mitted any distance without wires. Amateurs have proved it. This should prove a great boon since the amateurs operating on present phone system have gummed the wires until the Morse theory ap- pears all wrong. “Robert F. Gowen, engineer in charge of the DeForest Radio Sta- tion, Ossining, N. Y., has talked to Chicago,” it is reported. _ Radio amateurs at Gaffney, S. C., Columbus City, Ind., and Salem, Q, confirm it in writing as frightening them off their chairs, More Salem witchcraft. The Radio Amateur News also credits Karl C. Hanson with having talked to an aeroplane from a moving train; so when this new phone system is installed ope ought to be able to get Kast Orange even if the air over the Jersey meadows is pregnant with static perfume. ‘The News states you can get a simple radio telephone for $50~! cheap as anything—or everything at present. It is only a matter of time when every individual will be carry } ing his own little switchboard. Vest pocket style for the men, handbag sets for the women. If we have been slaves to the telephone in the past it is going to be more so in the future. There will be no privacy. Many a poker game will be disturbed when friend wife calls up ex-friend hubby., who has been detained at the office by “work.” And speaking of phoning from moving trains, wait till Mr. Newlywed gets a ring from his “Angel” while riding home packed in among the sub: way sardines. Baby talkers necessitated the construction of sound-proof telepbone booths, so it can be seen that the travelling public will have | to submit to additional horrors. But think of the advantages. No signals, no more Morristowns when “excuse it, please,” &e. be IW more operators, no more busy you want Flatbushes, no more v hice, aS CARE. [TARE THE FLAT ILL YOU PUT IT IN FIRST CLASS SHAPE ? WE'LL MAKE THE NECESSARY REAAIRS | You can take your “transmitter connected to a separate primary | winding of a special audio frequency transformer with secondary leads that go to the antenna and ground proper, respectively” and call up anybody, anywhere, any time, You can get a connection with the Senate if you are troubleg with insomnia and listen to Lodge eulogizing Woodrow Wilson as the greatest President since Taft. With a special attachment @ your receiver you can vary the intensity and pitch of the incoming @Pw.'s to suit your political taste. This will be a great convenience for general managers, superintend- ents and executives. They won't have to come to the plant at all, and can bawl out the office force from the golf lynx, no matter how far off the green Traffic cop cun call up @ speeding motorist and tell him he's ar-| rested before the cop catches him. | You can cal] up the aerial mail carrier and tell him to stop dropping | post cards all over your front lawn. There are endless possibilities in the thing. And atmospheric conditions will not interfere with con- versations, The “potential gradients” will not disturb the “emitted electrons,” “postive chatges,” get along without irritating the “negative ions” and the “thermal gradients” function in spite of the “bellum atoms.” ‘The | thing is as simple as A BC \ “THIS CRACK CN THEWAL 5 THAT's NOT au (eee ( ACRAcK ! 5 alls ee H The Jarr Family | By Roy L.
