Radio Has Gripped Chicago
The city has in mind a far more important radio experiment. George E. Carlson, commissioner of gas and electricity, and Chief of Police Fitzmorris are seeking from the city council an appropriation of $68,000 for radioequipped automobiles. In its fight to prevent crime the police department sends out daily fleets of automobile patrols, each assigned to a
finite area, so that the pursuit of robbers
y be delayed as little as possible. Commissioner Carlson and Chief Fitzmorris want to equip these patrols with radiophones, in order that they may be kept constantly in touch with headquarters.
Experiments with a model patrol have been successful, but as yet the council has withheld the money needed for equipment of a fleet.
If the radio patrols live up to expectations, an effort will be made to equip every roundsman with a radiophone. Next fall may find the city hall radio operator in touch at all times with every policeman in the city, so that cordons can be thrown about the scene of a crime
before the criminals have had time to get away.
City officials, newspapers, manufacturers, dealers and schools are accepting the general interest in radio at its face value. They are convinced that every American home will some day be radio-equipped; that in the near future the wireless telephone will be considered as necessary as the commerical telephone is considered now.
Most of our social troubles, it is pretty generally agreed, grow out of misunderstanding. We base our hopes and prejudices and faiths on widely different sets of facts, variously interpreted. Democracy, they say, whose business it is to spread intelligence, cannot flourish until knowledge of events reaches the masses quickly, clearly, and wholly.
If that be true, what present-day phenomenon is more encouraging than the new look of the dingy skyline of Chicago's hinterlands, fringed with radio antennas thrust up for longdenied draughts of sweetness and light.
