The March of Radio been bothered by the ship traffic would put in three stages of tuned radio frequency, the interference problem would unquestionably be solved, but the expense involved for the listeners might in the aggregate be sufficient to buy out the Steamship Company. An easier and more equitable solution, which we feel sure will more likely meet with commendation from the broadcast listeners, is for Mr. Parnell to order his ships to use their spark sets no more than absolutely necessary during broadcasting hours, and we are sure from the tone of his letter that suggestions of this kind will be complied with as much as possible. Interesting Things Interestingly Said XAAJOR GENERAL GEORGE O. SQUIER JYl (United States Army, retired; former Chief Signal Officer): "A world-wide net of electrical intercommunication linking together radio, land lines, and submarine cables in a new-born spirit of closest cooperation must be developed to the limit of possible usefulness, both for the needs of peace and as a powerful agency in preventing war." E J. ELTZ, JR. (New York; Treasurer, Radio Apparatus Section, Associated Manufacturers of Electrical Supplies): "A large number of people who have been indifferent to the appeal of radio have just awakened with a start to find that the art has been making great forward strides.

A critical interest is being taken in programs, which is brought forcibly to the attention of broadcasters by the thousands of letters they receive each day." |_I ARRY L. FOSTER (travel writer, in A Gringo in ' * Mariana Land) tells of hearing a radio concert in the Honduran wilderness at the house of a mine superintendent at Rosarie): It was as clear as though one listened-in from New York.

Heretofore, such reception has been difficult, which kept the farmer from buying radio. Now, probably not more than fifteen per cent, of the American and Canadian farmers have receiving sets. " The best engineers in the country are of the opinion that there will be no fundamental changes in radio receiving equipment in the next few years. Development in this respect is bound to be gradual and there is no danger that a person will secure a good set to-day and to-morrow find it obsolete. "Radio has ceased to be a fad. It is the greatest source of communication since the first language was developed." insight and a fuller appreciation of political activities. I have been much impressed with the political importance of radio as illustrated during the progress of the national conventions. I think that those of us who listened-in must have had sober moments when from the convention hall, the actual voices of the delegates came to our ears as well as the disturbances and interruptions." HP. DAVIS (Pittsburgh, vice-president, West• inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company): " International broadcasting, as I have consistently stated in the past year, must take its place as a regular feature of broadcast programs, and this may come in the very near future." /CHILDREN Sing for WBZ," says a headline in >-* a Boston paper.
