JUNCTION, UTAH CARE FOR MOTOR Safety Suggestions for the Pedestrians DURING WINTER Radio Beacon to Aid Ships at Sea Device Will Obviate Danger Hovering Over Ocean-GoinVessels. g Collisions between ships passing In a storm or fog will be avoided In the future by the use of a new radio Invention. This announcement was made by Federal-Brandeine., following exhaustive tests along the Pacific coast by the United States Lighthouse service, the Standard Oil company and the Federal Telegraph company, of California, and has created a stir In shipping circles. The new device, which has proved satisfactorily that it will remove the danger hovering over vessels at times of low visibility, causing loss of life and valuable shipping, has been named the Roister mobile radio beacon in honor of Its inventor, Dr. F. A. Roister, who also invented the radio compass. It Is described as a low power automatic radio transmitter, which sends out a characteristic signal over a short distance. Installed in Pilot House. Installed in the pilot house. Independent of the ships radio telegraph, It is turned on in thick weather. The radio signal it transmits Is heard by any ship within a short distance, which by the use of the radio compass or direction finder, determines the position of the approaching vessel. The official tests were made by Captain Rhoades, superintendent of lighthouses, on board the lighthouse tender Sequoia ; by Dr. Roister, who was formerly chief of the radio division of the bureau of standards, and by pocxxxxxxxioooooooocioooooo SIMPLICITY OF RADIO By POWEL CROSLEY, JR. oooooooooooooooocxxxxcooo5 RADIO WAVES For todays discussion we had best go down to the old swimming hole, for there we can study at first hand some analogies of important radio phenoni-enA- j We will rpick up some stones from the edge of the pond, and toss them out into the clear, still water.

Reception of the Instruments automatic signal was de dared ns satisfactory for tracing a ships course as seeing the crafts lights on a clear night. The mobile beacon Is about as large as a radio receiving set placed on a living room table and will be inexpensive. It can be placed anywhere In a pilot house and does not require an experienced operator. It Is a well known fact that danger is ever present, in foggy weather, of ships coming together, said E. C. Itennett, chairman of the technical committee of the American Steamship Owners association, In commenting on the invention. Oil C. "A point to remember In driving Is tlm It Is unwise to take off the radiator cap If the radiator should start to steam," says a bulletin Issued by the mechanical first-aidepartment of the Chicago Motor club. The motorist runs the risk of scalding himself, and frequently the escaping steam damages the paint on the hood. The better way Is to open the drain cock under the radiator.

When we throw this board into the pool it will bounce up and down several times, sending out a train of waves. Now we may picture a vibrating electric current sending out radio These waves in a similar manner. radio waves are supposed by some scientists to travel in a certain invisible substance, called the ether, that pernil space and all material vades bodies. Now we may picture t he vibrating currents houncing up and down and splashing the surrounding ether up and down, so that a train of waves is formed in it. Whether or not this ether Idea is perfectly accurate scientifically does not matter. At least it gives us a picture to help us understand how radio transmission Is possible.
