Recent developments have . been tremendous in their scope and kaleidoscopic in their variation. Such minor matters as talking with a ship, four hundred miles at sea, or operating an automobile by radio, has caused scarcely a tremor o the surface of popular interest. A month or two ago they woald have beten received incredulously. When such an authority as Charles P. Stciinnetz himself Dr. publicly announces that it will not be long before wo shall be in actual communication with Mars by radio, it is little wonder that lesser developments which a short time ago would now have seemed remarkable, are hardly noticed. ; Communication with Mars has in the past been a phrase associated with impractical scientists, and it is at appreciate scarcely possible to once the significance of Dr. Stein-me- t z intimation.

A few years later he accepted the office of and general manager of the Marconi Wireless of company Telegraph America. h He had grown up with the business ana was ready for this new step. As a boy, too, he had been temporarily put in charge of tho first Edison telephone exchange whiteh was at St. Louis. He had visited alcost every town and hamlet in the United States in preparing estimates for telegraph lines. When he joined the Marconi Wireless . holograph, his energy had a broad outlet. Just before the outbreak of the European war he ar transtocoanie ranged for the first wirdlces telegraph service between the United States and Europe, but the war interfered with the opening of the station at that time. Commercial wireless service between California and Hawii was opened in 1914, and in 1916 pnblie service began the United States and Japan. When the wireless stations, temper arily taken over by the government to during the war, were returned their owners in 1920, he established the first direct commercial wireless circuit to Great Britain.. Extensions to Norway, Germany and France were made almost immediately. As president and director of the Wireless Telegraph & Telephone company and of the Wireless Press, Mr. Nally was tlTcf logical choice as head of the Radio Corporation of America when it was formed in 1919. With all duties in the realm of electricity and science, Mr. NaRy hag the real human touch,and his interest in gardening and book collection is as acute as that in his oration. Many rare etch regular ings and engravings and book editions have been collected by him in spare moments. He is thp possessor of the complete scrap book of Samuel F. B. Morse, in which the invention of the telegraph is explained in detail. Because he is a reader and lover of. books himself, he has been instrumental in establishing libraries, reading and rest room8 n many of the compony's tide-grap- n Mars is not so far away, the doctor reminds us, and a little matter of thirty million miles or so should prove ""no stumbling block to th6 advance of the science 'of radio. Already, he points out, a message may ' be sent at the extreme limit at least .ten thousand miles. This means that the power of present radio apparatus needs to be increased about nine million times before communication would be practicable. Dr. Steinmetz firmly believes that Mars is inhabited; otherwise the possibility of spanning the enormous gap between the earth and that planet would not interest him. Even this scientist will make no prediction about tho future of radio except, We are obiviously nowhere its limits.

A radio toll service, in fact, is already an actuality in New York, and is scheduled soon for St. Louis.

The messenger duties of the only boy in St. Louis wore not always V pleasant. That . boy, Edward J. Nally, is now the president of tho Radio Corporation of America.

Were our eyes constructed a little differently, so that we could see what was going on in the ether, the whole process would seem as nntural as sunlight. To obtain a conception of the ways in which the radiotelephone operates, let us first consider a brilliant white light placed upon the top of a tall tower. This light would, of course, throw its rays in every direction and could be seen by everyone with an unobstructed view of it within a radios of perhaps twenty miles.

Havana, May 18. Edwin F. Atkins of Boston, well known in sugar circles throqghout the world, has just returned north, after an extensive stay uRon thi island. He has had life long experience in Cuba and is one of the best informed men in tho world today upon the produc lion of Cuban sugar. Hq has .been, induced to discuss the crop, and dementry matters economic bearing upfon the entire situation, as they have a relationship to the production of sugar. Mr. Atkins says: Tho ctop for last year, that is , amounted to 3,935,000 tons. of Himely estimates the crop at 3,580,000 tons. Mb. Himely is considered as the authority, by the' sugbr interests everywhere. Many closely connected with Cub-baaffairs sought earlier in the season that, owing tfo fhfancial conditions, with an expected shortage of labor and uncertainty pt weather after May 1, that Mr. Himely s estimates could not be reached and fixed 3, 000100 tons as a maximum TDACK of the Telephone there is somesomething intangible thing invisible something without which the instrument itself would be of little value. It is something wrought into every unit of telephone equipment something which pervades the atmosphere of the central exchanges and of the administrative offices. It is something which animates and gives urge to the personnel of the employe body, out of which em- anates efficiency, courtesy and a genuine desire to please. That intangible something is The Spirit of Service, woven into the warp and woof of the entire fabric of 1920-1921- 1921-192- 2 , our Company. It is this same Spirit of Service that has made possible our growth from aiTexchange of 200 stations in 1879 to a system of 350,000 stations ta crop. But whether conditions remained harvesting; exceptionally good for labor toon accepted the prevailing conditions and worked remarkably well at wages so low as barely supply them with the neccessities of life. Many places which early in the Hwon did not seem possibly able to start up, succeeded in one way or another in getting enongh for pay rolls and at least part payment for cane. With eolonos who had their investment in cane prartieklly ready for harvesting, it was a question of cutting and delivering tho eane and getting something, or nothing. This condition visa largely due to the Hordney bill before congress which increased the duties on Cuban sugars 60 cents per hundred pounds, and while there was surplus of sugar in tho world flor sale, forced (he collection of this additional duty from the producers. Tho crap is rapidly drawing to a close,' and in a31 but thp eastern districts will soon be over. Ftom seem present appearances it would that the crop will fully reach throe million tons.
