RADIO BROADCAST
Not pretty, but it works. This radio installation put on his Ford by " Bud," Siocum, a i6-year-oId sophomore in Ionia High School, Mich., is not as neat and compact as those to be installed on California's automobile stage lines — but it works
desert, and eat a sandwich at Fourth and Market streets, San Francisco, while he's so engaged.
Another instance (out of hundreds) is that, potentially, of the man operating a mountain resort. At present he and his guests are at on^^ end of a tenuous telephone or telegraph wire, and between them and civilization are mountains, deserts, gulches, wastes, and unmapped wilderness, with nothing but the wire to depend on, and no assurance that a hawk pursuing a nimble English sparrow won't put that out of commission at any hour of the day. 1 make no doubt whatever that every resort and camp in the West will this summer be advertising daily news dispatches, concerts, fashion notes, and society items within an hour of the time that the man who stayed in the city gets them warm from the press. And the field is still left wide open for men who go into still more remote places, on business or
pleasure, and who to-day might slip over a cliff or break a rib and lie for days, weeks, or months, as the case might or might not be, before any one found him — or his body.
For once I think we are safe in asserting that the wild and woolly West is at least up with, and perhaps something ahead of, the East. Conservative estimates put the number of receiving sets operating on the Pacific Coast and adjacent states at 25,000. The estimates run as high as 50,000 and, counting home-made sets which . are increasing at an unbelievable rate, this is probably more nearly correct. Some of our lads out here are receiving messages daily and taking in concerts that are dispatched from points as far distant as Japan and the Atlantic Ocean, and the excellent and lively radio magazine now published here and * already in (I believe) its fourth year has a couple of pages of "Calls Heard" reports that will make any Easterner sit up and tune up.
