The March of Radio
efits the listening public. These independent stations cannot perform the same service, however, as a network of stations, scattered all over the country and interconnected for operation by the same voice. It is this possibility that gives to radio broadcasting its great potential value and importance; the Chief Executive addressing the country is no longer a dream, it can be accomplished to-day.
By using part of their transcontinental, highquality, telephone line, the telephone engineers were ready to deliver, the President's voice all the way across the country with imperceptible distortion. At San Francisco, Omaha, Chicago, New York, and Round Hill, the modulators of the radio stations were regulated to function as well as though the speaker were personally in the studio. Three thousand five hundred miles of telephone line were to be tied up in the demonstration, a fact which shows at once how it is that radio broadcasting must become an integral part of the rest of the country's communication scheme.
Simplified Receiving Sets
DURING the past year, nearly every issue of a radio journal or newspaper has brought glad tidings of a new and more efficient receiving circuit. We long ago stopped trying to keep a record of these supposedly novel ways of using a vacuum-tube detector, because it seems that in the end, after all the required refinements are made, they amount to about the same thing. Experts tell us that it makes but little difference what circuit is used — that if sufficient skill and intelligence are displayed in properly proportioning the various parts, practically the same results can be obtained with any of the recommended circuits. This seems a logical conclusion to one understanding the principle of the vacuum tube, yet many times the enthusiast solemnly declares one circuit is incomparably better than the one he has been using (and which he recommended to us only a few days before) and which we haven't yet had time properly to try out. We have one ac
THE FIRST THREE HEROES TO RECEIVE THE RADIO MEDAL
The award of this medal is restricted to wireless operators, and the first three were presented to the three operators of the City of Honolulu which burned and sank in the Pacific last spring. Mayor Cryer of Los Angeles made the presentation for the Radio Corporation of America. Left to right: N. C. Kumler, Mayar Cryer, Walter P. Bell (Chief Operator),
