INSTALL WIRKIJB88 TKLKPHONK Mr. Pitts Now "Listening In" On Con .certs Sent Out Kw?? Pittsburgh. Mr. H. IJ. Pitt*. pvealUest of Uu Hermitage Oottou MAll* of this city has recently had installed tulo bt* home a wireless radio telephone. aud has been entertaining his friends with concerts glveu dully out of Pittsburgh and other places. The PktUtourgh head quarters of the Wustinghouso Co., put on a dully program and tho radio phone onables Mr. Pitts and his family to enjoy fiw programs by famous sing ers, musicians. lecturers and tho |l)tv ?offered each <Hy.

Tho program shirts ai I'M and end* with the time sigunls sent out from Arlington at 10 ocloek. Radio mose-ages from Charleston to ships at ?0a are picked up at luter*. I vaN. and the "listening lu" of -the wireless Is proving an innovation to the family and their friends. On Hun day night MV. Pitts heard a .lecture ! In Pittsburgh 'delivered by William Jennings Pryun. The ''editor of this paper and a friend is Indebted to Mr. Pitts for the opportunity of hearing <?ne of the programs. ^ Mr. Joseph U. Crocker has also in stalled a wireless ..photic 111 his home j on his l<a toe view property where he j gets-, the same service. i The following was sent out from j Washington a few days ago relative j to the operation of those phones: ! "To Mr. lleilairt Hoover has been delegated the task of controlling the ether. In his new job It will be his rtnty to see that the air above the TTnifed Stnt>es Is not cluttered up with all kinds of radio messages. To have predicted tho possible need for such control ten years ago would have been oonSridered the heighth of silliness and - folly by almost everyone. Today such ' control Is an absolute noet*?sity. 'Tor several years scientists lu their i lahratorles and small boys in their ["shops" have been tinkering with all ? kinds and sorts of wire colls, electric j spark gflpi) condensers, and detectors, j As a result tho scientists have devised ^ ways of sending messages through the air at little expense, and the small boys have done their he.^t keep ihc air full of such messages. "A wireless (telephone Is a possibility, but It will never be used outside of the cxu>erl mental laboratores, -the lea ru ed college professors said only a few years ago. Today ships talk to one another from- opposite fcddcs of -the ?lol?e, grand opera- stars alng to thou sands each night , and sermons are hoard by congregations on . ,8unday morning without either preacher or church members getting out of bed. "On rainy nights the wireless phone enables many persons to bear excellent, musical, concerts while sitting around their own fireside. President Harding recently delivered an address In Wash ington, and his words were heard si multaneously in New York. Chicago and San Francisco. "With tho air continually filled by evory Imaginable hind of noise, it is not surprising tbut some such person as Mr. Hoover sltould be callcd in to say who s privcleged lotalk and who is not. As interest In radio grows, the rules governing its Use. will of necessity have to l>e made more strict. This will cause no great Inconvenience to the majority of persons, however, for "listening in" Is much more fas cinating than transmitting messages."
