Service That Satisfies
A veritable novelty In the radio
world, a feature which has .start
led tena of millions within . th?
broadcasting radius of Chlcafeo,
has been the portable ; radio
broadcasting apparatns, of the
Zenith! Hadio Corporation, niouiu
d on h Federal Knight truck. r
: This organization which recent
ly tooU over the Edgewater Cearh
Corporation broadcasting outfit.
and is transmitting its programs
under the well kpown code, WJAZ,
famous the world, over as the sta
tion which, talked to Donald Mc
Millan, when ths Arctie explorer
was within 11 degrees ' of the
North Pole, and has also been
heard aa far distant as Australia.
The portable, or automobile ra-
Federal Knight truck, was built
by Eugene F. McDonald, Jr., of.
the Zenith Radio Corporation tut
the purpose of locating and lett
ing out the best site fo the pow
erful, broadcasting station in tlio
vicinity of Chicago. When this
place is found the Zenith Corpor
ation plans to erect one of the
finest stations in the world,
i Loaded on the Federal Knight
truck lire 12 storage, batteries,
each of 100-ampere hours, dis
charging at the 30-hour rate; a
type No. 600 charger; ojne . 350
volt "B" plate battery; twb No. 80
chokes; two 1500-volt generators;
one 250-volt gneerator; and tubes
and microphones. The radio Is of
the Hartley type and has a53-fOjt
antennae mast. .
Commenting on the work of the
v-emarKaoie - . ,.
O. Matthews' engineer of the Zen
ith Corpcratlon. is loud fn hiA
praises of the performance of the
Federal-Knight..
'It is the most remarkable
piece of mechanism I have ever
seen," he remarks. ''We have
covered 1 COO miles already and
our average gasoline consumption
has been 16 miles to the gallon
o gas. It is ; nothing for us to
travel 175 miles to a location
stage a program ; and then move
to the next stop. Our schedule is
so laid out in advance that we are
allotted just a certain number of
hours to reach a certain location.
in order not to disappoint aud
iences and participants in our pro
gram. .
"The most unusual feature of
our tours is the smoothness of op
eration over j all sorts of roafs
and this is a tremenduos factor as
we musts be doubly careful with
the delicate mechanisms that we
carry, i We haven't even had to
adjust nuts and bolts on any part
of the truck."
This, traveling radio station has
power enough to carry to points
on, the Atlantic seaboard and ha3
beeni heard as far distant as Port
land, Qregon. The great . interest
that business men have taken in
thi3 radio station is another indi
cation of the recognition that has
efficient"
as ian, economical anu
rireans of transportation.

and ;- r'isious fanaticism. Where
lue European armies failed to
keep Turkey at bay, the Red army
of the Bolsheviks has held it in
repression and has given the Ar
menian people a chance to live
their own lives unmolested by
warlike neighbors. i
! From the standpoint of their
material welfare and health, the
people are better off today than
they have been for many years.
Officials of the government esti
mate that within three years the
country will be self-supporting,
and that within ten years it will
be a prosperous community. Crops
this year have been good and
there is an abundant supply of
food. Clothing, however, is scarce
and expensive, and a good part of
the .rural population Is still clad
in threadbare' garments. The tens
of thousands of orphan children
which successive wars and massa
cres left in their wake are es
pecially well off. They are being
cared for by workers of the Amer
ican Near East Relief organiza
tion in the huge Russian army
barracks on the Alexandropol
Plain. -a
Financially Armenia,- like most
other Soviet states, is not in a
flourishing condition. Its deficit?
are met by subsidies from the
Moscow exchequer. With its lim
ited funds, however, the govern
ment is doing notable work in the
way of reconstruction, irrigation,
hydraulic and electrification proj
ects, ; the removal of marshy ma
laria! lands, the establishment of
agricultural and industrial schools
and the cultivation of cotton, silk,
tobacco and vineyards. There is
considerable unemployment in the
larger towns, but most of this was
absorbed during the summer and
fall by the need of labor for the
harvests. .. . -
The Armenian government har.
established a splendid .. university,
at Eriran, employing 7" profes
sors and accommodating 900 stuT
dents. An equally fine library has
been opened In the capital with
300,000 books, the gifts of the
Armenian people themselves. An
other unique Institution Is the
Erivan Tropical Institute, which
is a r?ode! paralogical laboratory

in the Caucasus. This is in charge
of Professor Popoff, an eminent
Russian pathologist.,, .

ed sanitary and hygienic stations
throughout the country, where the
poor are instructed In conserving
their health and given free soap
and disinfectants. The government
Is carrying on an Intensive culti
vation of cotton which has given
remarkable results. In 1922 Ar
menia had only 1,250 acres' of
cotton under cultivation. In 1923
it had 12,500 and in 1924 this
number increased to 40,000 acres.
The desire for Independence
and freedom from foreign domina
tion still persists in the Armenian
people,, and their hope Is that in
the course of time a way will be
found of detaching them from the
tutelage - or Moscow, So far as '
can be judged by outward appear
ances. Communism has taken no
deep hold on the people. While
all those in power in the gotern
ment are Armenians of Bolshevik
persuasion who have the approval
of Moscow, the total number: of
registered Communists In the
country is extremely smalii Out of
a population of 1,100,000, only
1,914 are active members of . the
Communist party.
But It must be said again that
the Bolsheviks have given Ar
menia a new lease of life by pro
tecting the country and people
from the: inroads of their ancient
enemy, the Turks. They have
helped the country financially and
economlcally.i if not politically.
With continued peace and security.

family of nations and replace the
grievous losses it has suffered
