McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER TWO Thursday, September 1, 1932 ' thinks he can go even higher to ex plore the stratasphere. If the Professor went . high enough, beyond the layers of gases which travel with the earth in its revolutions, he could stand still in I space and let the earth revolve un- | der him, coming down thousands of miles from where he went up. He would have to go at least sixty f miles up, however, instead of ten, and even then his balloon probably would still be within the range of the earth’s attraction and would travel with :.t, ' It is not beyond the realm of possibility, however, that travellers PICCARD . . . up he goes— f u t ure> wanting to get to the Professor Piccard has been higher other side of the world in a hurry, above the earth than anyone else may just go up a hundred miles or ever went and came back. He so and let the earth move under them at the rate of a thousand miles an hour until the spot they want to reach is under them. That sounds fantastic now, but no more so than any kind of air navigation sounded a hundred years ago. MARCONI another achievement— Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of wireless telegraphy, an nounces that he has been success ful in developing an ultra-short radio wave which follows the curv ature of the earth. Marconi, unlike some other; in- ! ventors, has always been careful in his public statements. He never an nounces that he has something un til he has actually tried and prov ed it, and he never makes predic tions unless he knows they are go- And Here’s Hopingifor a Better Year -■ By Albert T Reid \ " I APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU’VE BACK ED ME UP IN THIS EMERGENCY/'' lbe<'t^T.

This new discovery is of import ance because it means that radio communication is going to be more reliable and less expensive. The shorter the radio waves, the less in terference there is from static and other causes. Marconi told me several years ago —we have been friends for thirty years and more—that it would not be long before radio reception would be perfect at all distances and under all atmospheric con ditions. His newest discoverey is a step in that direction and prob ably what he had in mind. SILK . . . Japan resumes— I lunched the other day with the head of one* of the largest mer cantile firms in the world. He told me something which illustrates per fectly the interdependence of na tions. “Japan is hard up,’ he-said, “be cause rayon—artificial silk—had cut into the world market for Jap an’s principal export, which is nat ural silk. The dressmakers of Paris, j who set the fashions for the world, have decreed that woolen materials will be the height of fashion this coming winter. But the ladies’ gar ment makers of America, catering the masses, don’t think the ordin ary American young woman will wear wool; it doesn’t sound as ex pensive as silk. So the American manufacturers have developed a fabric which looks like wool but is made of silk. It can’t be made of rayon, and it takes four times as much silk to the yard as the stand ard fabrics now in use. “As a result,” my friend contin ued, “Japan is getting larger orders for silk than she has had for years and the price is going up. And be cause of the prospect for this ad ditional revenue, Japan’s military party is making plans to go ahead with the conquest of Manchuria, for which there was not enough money available a few months ago.” The idea that any one nation can stand alone is as unsound as it is dangerous. TELEVISION ... on its way— One of the experts of the Bell La boratories, who is working on the problem of television, told me the other day that he thought scient ists and engineers are getting very close to the day when it will be possible for anybody to see the per son one is talking with over the telephone. It is being done now, as a laboratory demonstration, and the problem is to reduce the cost. As for radio television, broad casting on a screen events actual ly in progress, that is a long way yet. It would be interesting if any body who had a proper receiving set could see the next Olympic Games without having to travel across a continent or an ocean to do so. Nobody who has even a glimmering of what is going on in the research laboratories is willing to say today that anything is im possible. , Henry Cochet, great French ten nis champion, is now in New York and limbering up for play in the com ing U.
