Radio Not Passing Fad Says Wireless Expert

BY PAUL F. GO BLEY, Foremost Radio Authority. Is radio a passing craze? Broadly speaking, the answer to this question asked by the thousands interested in wireless is. "No!” Any scientific development whi h can lend itself to the spread of timely information in the way in whi h radio broadcasting has done, wlil never lose its popularity. The greater portion of the population of the earth is settled in outlying districts. These places are totally dependent upon financial, market, industrial and governmental centers for their daily progress It Is only natural that they should desire up-to-the-minute inf- relation about what is going on in the nt of the world. Thus th daily j>r*-ss. the telegraph au ! the telephone have each como into their on as purveyors of !u----formation. Measured by the standards whbh broadcasting has s ’, all of these are found wanting- *!. v are too s. w. ENTERT AIN MUST WANTED. Furthermore, r.or.c of them car. : rovide entertainment f r those who are date i. It is for this n-is, n that the ph.-no-graph has proved s> p-fu'-tr. Its "canned" music came in ir r to providing worth-while entertainment U r the largest group than any other agency ever previously devised. But the fact that it was “canned" made its loss of popularity certain as soon as some new improvement might be developed. This cam© with the radiophone. Who would not prefer the feeling that the famous artist herself, even though unseen, was performing f.r his particular benefit—lnstead of an old, coid record of her performance? Th phonograph Is strictly an impersonal machine. The radio is 'he most fascinating appliance with which mankind has ever had to deal. Th annihila ion of space in such an easy manner, In itself, is almost uncanny, while the ability to choose that program or that station which one wills—together with the ever present expectation that one may at any moment pick up some station hundreds of miles

The school city of Oarv, population 55,543, has an assessed valuation of ever $140,000,000, over $10,000,000 more than the city of South Bend. Its funded debt is only $84.3,000, including this issue, slightly over H of 1% of its assessed valuation. ' Garys location is strategic, being located on all the railroad trunk lines entering Chicago from the East as well as on the Chicago outer belt line. This, together with its location on Lake Michigan, gives it unexcelled shipping facilities. Twenty-year school bonds of large cities arc exceedingly scarce.
