I ; New York, April 24.?With the re I :ent spectacular development of the! ( radiotelephone as a means of com I 1 nunication and entertainment and its! < imazing popularity with the AmAi I ( . an public, experts are now busy de-l j .rising methods of eliminating the in-1 erfering noises that often mar radio I ( oncerts. I , One of the latest and most effective! < >f these methods is the scouting "de-| ] active" automobile, equipped with al] sensitive wireless set and loop an I , enna, and employed to ferret out in-1 ] .erfering radio stations. I i The problem of static and other in I ; .erferences that constantly interrup I j broadcasted concerts and lectures by I . series of strange noises are discussed! ] in the May issue of Popular Science I Monthly, which says: "These radio interferences maj I \ Lome from one of two sources.

The remainder come from the! most uncontrollable force in the radio I universe?static. Collision in the Receiver "The real cause of the trouble can I usually be discovered by an expert-1 enced radio man, but the blame shoulu I r.ot be attached to any one until it i.-1 definitely located. In a locality when. I there are many transmitting stations. I signals from them may break up i?| concert. The allotment of different! wave lengths to their respective I classes of transmitting stations theo-1 retically permits the concert and vari-1 ous messages to go out at the samel time with as little interference asl three trains would create for each oth-1 or if they were all en route from New! York to Buffalo, but going via the! Erie, Lackawanna, and New York! Central respectively. In practice, how-1 i-vcr, collisions occur in the receiver that sound like the three trains meeting at a common point while running a mile a minute. "The remedy, when signals slash, is to find out where they come from, after all efforts to tune out the intruders have failed. Every sending station is required by law to sign its call letters to each message by transmitting them in code or repeating them with the voice sothat all who heat the station may identify it. If the interrupting station does not give its call letters, the district radio inspec< r may be asked to focus drection finders on it ami bring the owner to justice. Buzzes From Power Lines. "A very efficient Receiver will also I ring in all sorts of hums and buzzesfrom electric light and power lines, trolley car motors, and automobile magnetos.

An antenna that runs parallel to wires nearby will pick up current from them and produce noises in the receiver. "The worst disturber of the ether is 'static.' Listen in while a thunderstorm is approaching and at the sametime watch with the eyes for the lightning flashes. Do not watch too long! Pull the lightning switch and ground the aerial before the storm is overhead. "The instant you see the flash you hear a grumble, growl, or crash in the ic.iepnone.

J. G. Hughes, -26; 5-3-10 Plaintiff's Atty. o lenry Ford's Life and Work New York, April 24.?Life on ? "arm drove Henry Ford into making: lutomobiles. Mr. Ford says so himself in an article which he calls "My Life and Work", written by himself in McClure's Magazine for May, with the collaboration of Samuel Crowther, author and editor. And Mr. Ford still feels the same way about farming. Not that he has anything against farmers, he points iut, but there is "too much hard hand labor on farms." Because he was born on a farm and knew without question just what farming means. Mr. Ford invented an automobile w'th which he hoped, first, to lighten the farmer's task and, second, to aid people without a lot of money in their ?earch for enjoyment and business relief. That, in a nutshell, is what Mr. Ford's article gives as the reason for the Ford car. Incidentally it is the reason for his interest in farm tractors and for a lot of other things which have happened in Detroit recently. The automobile, however, barely escaped being a watch. Mr. Ford had a desire to do fine mechanical work and his ideas naturally turned to watches, he says. At one period of those early days he had 300 watches = and knew what made the wheels go around in every one of them. It was then he thought of the possibility of making a watch for 30 cents. In fact, he says, he almost started in the business but refrained when he figured out that watches were not a necessity and so would not be sold. "Just how I reached that surprising conclusion is difficult to state, now," he observes. But a combination of the farm and the watch, and the sight when he was only 12 of a road engine was too much for anvthinc nlehinn in Mr 'Pnrri's fti. ture. He started to consider the possibility of machines and after glancing at that engine .studying it, watching changes, reading and thinking, Mr. Ford branched out into the automotive industry. Of course, says Mr. Ford, the horseless carriage was a common idea. He had it, as did several other inventors. But Mr. Ford figured that steam was the best means for moving his car, and ho set about making a machine to operate by steam. He built one, and it ran. But it had defects, lots of I them. He very carefully points out 3 most of them. When he found he I couldn't work out his difficulties to his satisfaction, he turned to gasoline? and so was b rn the Ford. "It was in 1890 that I began work on a doub'e cylinder engine," he writes, ' because it was quite impractical to consider the single cylinder for transportation." Shortly after that the farm was left behind definitely and completely, when Mr. Ford went to Detroit as an engineer and machinist for the Detroit Electric company at exactly $45 a B month. The job wasn't much in itself but its great beautly lay in that it kept him out in his worshop for he had spare time and he employed it. Two years later Detroit got a thrill. Chug-chugging down its main streets came the gas-buggy. In the seat was Henry Ford. Behind it was a string of frightened horses and curious people. In front of it was bulwark of wondering thousands. Henry Ford had found a way to ride without horses to drag him. The machine, however, was a slight problem. To begin with it blocked traffic. Not that it stalled, but every time Mr. Ford stopped the crowd started and he could not, in safety, leave the car a moment. Always there was some curious soul who would climb aboard, play with the brakes or the clutch and then trouble com- ? menced. Finally, it came to a show-down with the city authorities. At last, writes Mr. Ford, although there were no speed laws, traffic ordinances, he had to get a permit from the mayor to operate the machine. "Thus for a time," he continues, "I enjoyed the distinction of being the only licensed chauffeur in the country." Mr. Ford ran that first machine 1,000 mile until 189G and then sold it. It took him four years to make the first sale of a Ford automobile, but he immediately did what he has done since?put his profits into building a new and better car. All this time, Mr. Ford was working as an eleetrieinn with the Electric company. H had become a foreman at $12i> a month but his gas engine experiments were not popular at the shop. The trouble was^they believe in electricity completely, and were at least mildly sceptical about gas. Fairly soon, therefore, Mr. Ford left the electric company. That was when a group of men willing to take a chance stepped in and organized The Detroit Automobile company. Mr. ? Ford was chief engineer. He owned S< i small block of stock and it was his ::ar they sold. There were disagreements over questions of finance and luto development, and Mr. Ford quit, fde took his patents with him, opened BO .he famous one-story, brick shed and proceeded to build and sell about 25 re ;ars. About that time?it was then ^ 1002?Mr. Ford won a road race in ini >ne of his own cars and business be- mi ran to pick up. co Formation of the Ford Motor Car er< ompany was the result. i?l "I determined absolutely," writes iir. Ford, "that never would I join de i company in which finance came be- ca ore work or in which bankers or inanciers had a part. I have yet to va lave it demonstrated that is the way aft o success. For the only foundation sa: f real business is service." ed ? " ' > ' "i.
