GROWTH IN PAST YEAR HA J BEEN RAPID

Novelty of Radio Wearing Off and Programs Are Part of Life. By THOMAS STEVENSON. r=T3 ASHINGTON. Jan. B.—'“From \X/ a baby to a healthy, growing - boy.” These few words, perhaps, best of all describe the progress in the radio art during the last year. Quite true, radio was a good, big baby at the beginning of 1924. Nevertheless, the advance of the newest Industry and public benefactor has been so rapid and so many promises are made for the future that it is hard tb conceive of it other than as being in its ina rule, the American public does not marvel long at even the most astonishing invention or accomplishment. The novelty wears off quite soon. During the past year the novelty of radio has worn off to a considerable extent and the general public is beginning to look to it more for steady entertainment and instruction than for thrills. Thrill Still Present

Os course, the thrills are still there; to hear MacMillian, the explorer, tell of entertaining Eskimos in ice-bound northern regions with American jazz; to tune in a station far away; to have a self-built set work perfectly, or sirniliar events still hold the power to fascinate. Two years ago, most if not all of the accomplishments in radio during the past tweleve months would have been declared impossible of attainment. This attitude has radically changed and how most everybody, skilled or unskilled, will admit the possibility of qjiything in connection with radio. To those skilled in the art, two big things stand out as accomplishments during 1924, while several improvements are anticipated for 1925. The concensus of opinion of experts and inventors at Washington is that these were the two big developments of 1924; / • Interconnection of broadcasting Stations so that the entire country might listen in national proand development of high frequencies or short wave lengths which, in addition to other things/* may provide many more channels through the ether. Things to Come These are the anticipations for 1925: Further development of high frequencies. Radio transmission of pictures with greater speed and accuracy. Progress in reducing the ejects of fading, atmospheric disturbances and Interference. • Directional transmission and reception. Increase of the range of service of broadcasting stations through development of higher power. Development of underground antennae which may increase distance and at same time iliminate static, fading and interference. Advances in receiving sets; such as higher selectivity, simplicity of tuning, and the elimination of batteries through use of current supplied by electric lighting systems. Kg Developments Here are opinions of Washington experts and inventors in regard to the most conspicious developments of 1924 and the most conspicuous developments anticipated for 1925: Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief of Radio Laboratory, Bureau of Standards: “My idea of the-tilitstanding achievement in radio i research during the a-jt year is the development of the frequencies, 2,000 to 20,000 kSßycles.. Great steps have been taken in clearing the understanding of the process by which these high frequency waves are transmitted. On account of the relatively small degree of fading and the great distances covered by these waves (Turn to Page 7)
