Wireless Witchcraft
The other day an automobile inn
.about the simts of Dayton, O., with
out a pasaewrer. It stopped when the
traffic policeman siirnallcil, and speed
ed up when his whistle told that the
way was clear. Its horn warned jio
' destrians attain and ui;uin.
Fifty feet hchiml, in another auto
mobile, rode Capt. R. K. Vaughn, U.
S. A., who manipulated the switches
of the radio control. There could be
no plainer case tit witchcraft.
Some years ago, it will be remem
' bcred, Jhn Hays Hammond, Jr., a
youiiK electrical eii;;ineer in Massa
chusetts, devised a means of radio con
trol for a small bout, and his invention
'was hailed as one sure to prove of
ureat value ill a military sense. We
' heard little of, it during the war, but
naval officers and electricians worked
upon it all the while. This radio-con-,
trolled automobile holds similar pos
nihilities, and we may feel assured
(hut efforts to perfect it will be un
ceasing. We know, too, that wireless con
trol of airplanes is not altogether a
dream. We jruess that omc day they
will soar pilotlcsn , above No Man's
Land a"d dischaiRC their cargoes of
high explosives and poisonous Rases
when some bespectacled and rubber
eloved scientist, far bahind the lines,
throws a switch at the wireless tele
phone's word.
War has always been horrible, but
v it is .easy to believe that when men
fought body to body with sword and
battlenxe under the whine of the cloth
yard shaft, when cities were habitual
ly given up to sack and none miRht
hope for quarter, when a whole peo
ple faced exlermiimlioit on the mere
suspicion of poisunine; the wells, war
was less horrible liy Tar than it will
be a generation hence.
In those days men haled witches t"
ihe horse pond, and wi'.ards had short
.shrift. Whal the deuce are we to do
with them now?
