Agreement on the amounts which the city will pay for property In the city Plaza block now In condemnation proceedings has been reached by attorneys for the property owners and city, James M.

Radio Invention Will Direct Fishermen in Foggy Sea

WASHINGTON, May 30.—Earl C. Hanson. radio experimenter, has added another product to his list of Inventions. This time it Is a radiophone device which is Intended to save fishermen from being lost In a fog at sea. Only recently Hanson announced his invention of a miniature radiophone that amplifies sound for persons hard of hearing. Hanson's latest is small enongh to take np little room In a fisherman’s dory. While away from the schooner the fisherman equipped with this instrument can hear signals from the mother ship, In spite of fog or distance. The schooner is equipped with a onekilowatt transformer, a motor generator, a "chopper wheel’* to send out the signals and an aerial. The chopper wheel issues a continuous moaning noise which is caught by the receiving set In the dory. The receiver not only catches the sound but tells the fisherman from what direction it comes, so that he could row toward its source. To equip a fishing schooner and its fleet of 12 or more dories. Hanson says, would not cost more than $2,000. Safety First Is Best Rule in Guarding Against Lightning. BT FAX' I. r. GODLKT. America's Foremost Radio Authority. Does a radio set add to the chances for fire which may result from lightning discharges? Thousands ask the question, wonder about It—and then let It go at that. In many years experience with radio installatoln I have never heard of lightning having actually caused the destruction of a building in which an amateur outfit was housed. Bat I have heard of many cases where fires were narrowly averted. Therefore the one rule that ail radio fans should follow is: Safety first. The precautions necessary are few and easily carried out. The sense of safety more than compensates for any trouble, for a properly installed antenna forms a first-class protection against lightning. Lightning need not necessarily strike the antenna to do real damage. Heavy discharges in the clouds even at a distance of a quarter of a mile may Induce currents in the antenna of sufficient strength to overheat small conductors. lIOT WIRES. Where the wires connecting the antenna or ground to the receiving apparatus are of small gauge, or where they have been laid carelessly over the cloth cover of a table or along the dry woodwork, the currents may heat the wires to a red heat. X have seen this happen innumerable times. When lightning actually strikes the antenna it may completely destroy some of the smaller connecting wires and, if no ready path to earth is available, may take a short cut through the woodwork, produce a great heat and set fire to the building. Fire underwriters’ rules, which should be followed by every one, call for the provision of a *Tlghtnlng ground wire" outside the building and some form of approved lightning arrester. In some States there Is also a “lightning switch.’’ In nearly all States the lightning ground wire switch and arrester must be placed outside the building. The ground wire must be kept from the building at a
