side of radio—radiotelegraphy and radiotelephony—entirely a commerciaJ pursuit. By far the greitest class of radio service, in point, of number of stations and operator.!, is amateur radio. The •’hams." as they are affectionately called in the craft, are officially defined in the government's regulations as those duly authorized 'licensed) persons interested in radio technic solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest." From the federal communications commission, whose telegraph division has taken over the regulation of the amateurs formerly vested in the federal radio com-

mission. comes a report that tire last fiscal year recorded exactly 46.390 licensed amateurs in the United States—more than in all the rest of the countries of the world combined. This compares with 41.555 in 1933; 22,739 in 1931, and only 8,205 in 1924. The “ham" ranks are continuing to swell at about the same rate as the last year. Some attribute this phenomenal increase to the depression that left so many youths idle to pursue this hobby. Others say it was a natural growth of interest in a fascinating field, a field from which many later are graduated into important po-

sitions in the radio and communications industry. By any name, the “hams'’ continue to be the pets of the industry and are encouraged by their government and by private enterprise at every turn. In a brief submitted to the F. C. C. telegraph division, of which he was recently appointed technical head as assistant to Chief Engineer C. B. Jolliffe, Lieutenant E. K. Jett, a retired naval officer, points to the value of amateur radio. The telegraph division licenses and regulates all amateur operators and stations. CLOTHES VS. WINTER, CLOTHE A CHILD.
