S. Radio is here to stay. There is no longer any doubt about i its permanence as a utility, nor is ■ (there likely to be any radical change • or new discovery in connection with it which will affect it fundamentally. The history of other inventors, as well as experience in the field of radio to date, indicates this to be a fact.

The telephone is fundamentally the same today aa the first model which Alexander Graham Bell produced. Likewise the principle of the steam engine la the same now as when Robert Fulton made the first steamboat. Hardly ever has a great invention later undergone a fundamental change In the principles underlying it. Obsolescence comes In styles, but not in principles. Ifeftncments are made, costs cut and parts made simpler and more rugged, but no revolutionary change occurs. The same is true of radio. Circuits that gave good,results two years ago give good results now, although simpler circuits have been developed, using fewer controls.
