AMAZING RADIO AGE PREDICTED IN NEXTDECADE Astounding Progress Seen by Commissioner; Gets Many Requests. BY ROBERT TALLEY BU SEA Service „„ WASHINGTON, Jan, 27.—The genii who Aladdin summoned by rubbing his magic lamp never performed more wonders than the radio is expected to accomplish in the next few years. “Broadcasting as we know it today is only a very small part of the radio picture,” says O. H. Caldwell of the Federal radio commission. “In economic importance, broadcasting is almost insignificant when compared with the other radio situations that the commission and the radio supervising authorities are facing.” The nation is on the eve of a radio age, judging from a description of the future uses of radio that Caldwell gave before the House Committee bn Appropriations. Many Want Wave Lengths “The newspapers are coming to us for wave lengths for transmitting nc# s, the telephone and telegraph companies are demanding channels, the railroads w r ant them for talking from the trains, for talking between trains, and even for talking between caboose and locomotive,” Caldwell continued. “The electric railways are applying for these waves to communicate between their cars and for dispatching purposes. The interurban bus people are asking for wave lengths to dispatch busses along the highways and communicating with busses so they can operate like trains. The oil and mining companies want short wave lengths to reach out-of-the-w'ay places. “The lumbering companies have the same problem. They send their gangs into deep woods to cut trees and these gangs move from place to place. The radio solves their problem. Farmers Want Service “Farm cooperative organizations l have asked for wave lengths to communicate with their members, to give market information direct and information as to prices of products, where to ship, etc. “The motion picture people are asking for short waves. When camera men and actors go into the mountains or out in the desert to take pictures ‘on location,’ they must have communication with their studios to get supplies. “Police and fire authorities are coming to us for wave lengths for police alarms and fire alarms. Messages in Own Writing * “Then, too, we are faced with facsimile transmission services. The future of radio apparently will be to send photographs or sac-similes. In other words, rather than send a message in the form now used, they simply will take a piece of paper on which is written the message and it will come out at the other end exactly as you wrote it. They will send your bank check through just exactly as you wrote It. “Television? It is done even more successfully over the radio and requires short waves entirely. It means a whole new development which may put it in every one of our homes within the next two or three years.” Storm Saves Lauder Hotel Bills Bu United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 27.—Other passengers fretted because the Aquitania was delayed two days by storms at sea, but Sir Harry Lauder, Scottish comedian didn’t. "I’ve saved two day’s hotel bills,” he remarked.

ESCAPES DEATH IN QUICKSAND Large Crowd Sees Rescue of New Albany Man. By Times Special NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 27. Herbert Kahl is recovering from exhaustion today after a narrow escape from death in quicksand. He was rescued by firemen and volunteer workers while Indiana National guardsmen and police handled a large' crowd attracted to the scene. While Kahl was digging a hole for placing a tank, he encountered quicksand and began to sink. Before aid arrived he was trapped up to his armpits. Ropes were thrown to him to prevent further sinking. In an effort to reach Kahl, workers dug another hole close to the one in which he was working and just as the depths of the two were nearly equal, there was a cave-in of the second, but instead of this being a misfortune, it operated in* the trapped man’s favor, causing a shifting of the sand and he was freed. “I feel all right,” Kahl said on the way to the hospital. He -was unhurt and suffered no ill effects other than fatigue. PLAN TO RAISE FUND FOR VETERANS' HOME $3,500,000 Endowment to Be Sought for Institution in Michigan.
