RADIO ENDS LANGUAGE CONFUSION
A radio system has been devised for use at the Sixth International Road Congress, which opens today in Washington, D.C. , to enable the delegates to hear the addresses in one of four languages simultaneously.
The arrangement will do away with the babble that usually accompanies the interpretation of speeches at international con¬ ferences.
The arrangement is one of microphone and headsets. The speaker will not talk into a microphone, and the delegates who understand the language he uses will not need earphones. Inter¬ preters, however, will translate the address softly into their respective microphone, from which the message will be carried by wire to the headsets of the delegates who understand one of these other three languages.
Thus a Frenchman will hear French, a German will hear German, and a Spaniard will hear Spanish, while the speaker is talking in English.

RADIO* 8 GROWTH IN SIAM
The growth in use of radio in Siam has been notable, the Department of Commerce reports. In 1928 the number of words sent was 75,271, whereas in 1929 the number had multiplied to 416,671. tfords received by radio in 1928 numbered 849,291; by 1929 the number had increased to 1078,969. The total words handled, there-ore, in 1929, amounted to 1,495,640, as compared with 924,562 in ■1928 an increase of nearly 62 per cent.
Before the radio stations were established this work was all handled by land lines and submarine cables. Cheapness, rapidity and the dependability of the service are claimed to be responsible for the large increase in radiograms.
