When the Inter-Allied confer ence was held in Paris in 1919, following the Armistice, Kolster was one of the government's rep resentatives. It was at this time that he suggested the use of a mobile radio beacon ae an inter notional safe guard of navigation. The Idea met with general ap proval and Kolster returned to America determined to perfect a mobile beacon, or automatic warn ing transmitter, to protect lives and property at sea during fogs and storms, and to bring the radio compass Into more general use. Seeing a better opportunity to develop the radio compass as a commercial instrument: by becom ing associated with a well estab lished radio manufacturing firm, Kolster left the Bureau of Stand ards in 1921 and became the chief research engineer of the Federal Telegraph Company of California, of her radio audience. Miss Hayes will give a lively program of the a pioneer In the field, having been popular song hits of the York season. Scoring a success last year in the musical show, "A New founded in 1911. Two years later Night in Spain," she gives promise of making an even greater success on the air. Radio dialists throughout the country are familiar with Ben Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt orchestra. He will bring to the General Motors family party the same characteristics that have made him a popular radio enter tainer. From the opening of the program to Its close Bernie will be at the microphone as announcer. Instrumental music as accom paniment for Miss Hayes will be given by a concert band under the leader of Patrick Conwty and by Joe Greens novelty orchestra inese musical organizations will also play a series of the popular airs of the musical comedy season of 1927-28.

Its value as a safeguard was so ap parent that steamship companies along both coasts and on the Great Lakes were soon asking for It. The government began to erect shore beacon stations In prominent light houses to give bearing signals to navigators using the radio com pass, and now the United States has thirty in use, more all other countries combined, and others are being built. The mobile radio beacon for use on ships, announced ready for commercial service only a few weeks ago, has been a subject of Kolster's I research since 1919. when he suggested it at the Inter Allied conference. One reason it was not brought out earlier is that it is used in conjunction with the radio compasB, and only recently have enough ships and lighthouses become so equipped to make the mobile beacon practicable It is about the size of 4 table receiving set, and may be placed anywhere : in a ship's pilot house.

Kolster arrived in New York a few days ago to spend several weeks in the Kaat and, among other matters, to supervise the en gineering work being done in the Eastern plants. He came from Palo Alto. Calif., where his labor atory is located and where Mrs. Kolster, a former Boston girl, and their two daughters, aged sixteen and eleven, remain in their Cali fornia home. A younger brother, Charles C. Kolster, is the United States Ra dio Supervisor of the 1st District, which embraces the New England states, with headquarters in Bos ton. He took up radio to follow his brother, who claims that Charles had no choice in the mat ter; he was Just dragged into it by contagious enthusiasm. "Did radio crowd your musical talent entirely out of your life?" the inventor was asked. "Well, 'talent is a doubtful term, but I do enjoy playing the piano at home with the audience generally limited to my family. It is a restful pastime." Investigation among his friends discloses the he really is an accom plished pianist. The muse which nearly claimed him has been forced to give him up to bis lab oratory and to radio, the inter loper, but she still rules his hours of recreation. i eye it :iT-f't pr. - ' do re- ! 1 ! 1 -1 : .i! of thi- speaker t.-ii.t over an entire . i re;u ncios.

The Sparton Radio Is not an assembled set of various parts made by different manufac turers, but is unit-built by the Sparks Withlngton company of Jackson, Michigan. Every part, every screw, even the tubes them selves are made in the Sparton plant under the rigid scrutiny of Sparton engineers wTio 'demand accuracy and precision in all the stages of manufacture. It Is be cause of this attitude on the part of Sparton engineers, together jwith the latest hnd best mechani cal equipment to be found any where, that the Sparton factory has produced a set which makes good its claim of being "Radio's richest voice."

He served again as technical adviser for the govern ment delegates to the Safety-at-Sea conference in London the fol lowing year. It was then he poin ted out the advantages of having a radio compass and of having all lighthouses and lightships equip-T-d with radio transmitters, radio iitacons and radio fog signals. The secretary of commerce encouraged him in these ideas and he con tinued with their development. A War Secret When radio laws were found necessary to keep up with the growth and, problems of this new art Kolster assisted in framing them and in forming the radio! regulations of the department of commerce. He also acted as tech nical assistant to the commis sioner of the bureau of navization who was charged with the en forcement of all radio laws. The Kolster radio compass be came a practical reality In 1915, but the government kept it a se cret for its own use during the period of the World war. It was installed on government ships and also used along shore. One of Its services was to mark the course of German submarines, who sent radio messages to each other and to enemy ships, "kid ding" them along, in blissful ig norance of the radio eye that was watching them. As a result. ; Kolster has drawn public atten tion.
