Show TRIUMPHS OF RADIO While the ultimate possibilities of ladio, both for entertainment and commercial com-mercial use, have not yet been grasped by the human mind, the advances in the art made during 1927 have been almost startling. Through the Federal Radio Act, a long step was taken toward the equitable equit-able control of the air, while the improvement im-provement of broadcasting systems and programs has made the individual receiving set a source of increased satisfaction. Receivers which operate directly off the home lighting circuit without the ; use of batteries have been fully developed de-veloped and are now within the reach of persons of moderate means. A fur- ' ther exercise of control for the prevention pre-vention of interference between stations sta-tions is promised during the present year, which will undoubtedly add to the popularity of the radio. 1 At present about the only fly in the radio ointment is the old enemy static. . But annoying as it is at times, it does not prevent one's getting a lot of enjoyment en-joyment out of the excellent programs provided. And even static may possibly pos-sibly be conquered some day. |
