Show RADIO KEEPS EOYS BUSY Rufus Rothrock, a boy of Benson Polytechnic school, Portland, Oregon, has made a radio that "works," no larger than a silver dollar. With it he gets all the local stations. He is now making an electric motor the size of a finger tip, as another step in his preparation for electrical engineering. ' The radio has kept thousands of boys' out of the police courts and the jails, by giving them something interesting to do. A few tools, a roll of wire and a handful of springs and screws, would change the course of many a boy this Christmas time. Almost every normal American Am-erican boy is interested in mechanical contrivances and should be encouraged en-couraged along these lines. Radio offers great incentive for their creative ideas. |
