Young folks of today have grown up among so many modem mirac-les that they don’t real ize what ^he world was like only a few years ago, tn-fore there was any, such thing as electric lights and tele- j ^^^rk as well in the opposite dirwtion phones and phonographs and motion I by the use if short waves, pictures and automobiles and air-i certainly worked, planes and radio. . line; the reception of broadcasts on a train is a simple enough m^b-r, but the experiment which was carried out between Washington and Baltimore was to find out whether radio would 1 have seen all of these things come about in my owm lifetime, and to me the most miraculous of all of them is radio. It is literally true that there is no place the human being can go and not keep in toiK-h w'ith the re.st of the world if he so desires. Few people, outside of technical experts, realize the strides that have be<*n made in the last two or thr<*e years in the so- calh-d “short wave” radio bmadi-ast- ing. There is literally no distance that cannot U* spanned by the short waves, for they travel completely around the earth wnihout any difficulty at all. The radio short waves arc not affeet- «*d by atmo.spheric cianditions to any thing like-: the extenp that longer waves arc, and ingenious methods have been devised whereby short waves are picked up by radio .stations, converted inttj long waves and re- A Baltimore and Ohio din ng ear was stripped ^its tables and convert ed into a broadcasting studio. Heavy j curtains were hung all around the car to absorb any echo. Two grand pianos were installed at one' end and Jack Denny’s tw-elve pie<*e orchestra, with Belle Baker as the vocal soloijjU put on a half-hour short wave bro^ast program. The short ‘waves were pick ed up at a temporarily equipped re ceiving station at Layrel, Maryland, from which they were ti^ansmitted to .station WCAU, where they were au- tonsatkally rebroadcast and were picked up by folks who had their re ceiving sets tuned in for that station as readily as if the program was be ing iuroadcaet right there in the sta tion studio. Not because it w*as neces- aary, bpt for the sake of impressing listeners with the fact' that the pro gram was coming from a moving train, one of the microphones w'.aa hung out of the car window to pick the noiKe of the wheels and the i>rci^‘^t.
