How time flies. It seems hardly later than
the day before yesterday that Gugiiehco Marconi
startled the world by sending a message clear
across the Atlantic ocean without the intervention
of subnwiRR caWes. And yet here it is t^e 25th
anniversary of t^at eP<M+
event.
Girl
babies when Marconi began challenging the ether
now have prattling infants of their own and boy
babies are now in training to take the business
leadership of their communities. .
The wireless telegraphy inyepted gqd devel
oped by Marconi has long been on a Round com
mercial hasis and adopted to extremely practical
uses. So much so that we accept it as a matter of
course, wheu we note a dispatch in the paper has
been transmitted by radio, when we receive a mes
sage from a friend at sea or read of a ship in
distress sending out an S. 0. S. call for help.
But wireless was destined to affect our daily
lives muck more intimately than in Us use aa a
substitute for the transoceanic cable.
When it
was finally coordinated with the principles of tele
phony and burst upon ns just after the war as
what we now know popularly as radio it came in
a form which touches every one as intimately as
the phonograph or the movies.
The period since broadcasting first began has
,been one Rrgely of |rif4
error.
We have
found radio a tremendously interesting and en
tertaining plaything, hut a plaything which has
developed into a great deal of a problem. We don’t
know yet just what to do with if. There are pos
sibilities in it, we can sea plainly enough, but we
are still feeling about more or less for the way to
develop, them. It offers the musician a concert
hall such as he never performed in before, the
orator r fojpup foj* the expression of his views,
the teacher an academy that is not enclosed in
walla. But mostly thus far it has run to frivolous
The development of radio’s highest possibili
ties to the fullest extent seems now to he impos
sible except under the protection of government
interferes».
We have fouqd tjiat the free air
is not so limitless as it once seemed. It will ac
comodate only so many wave lengths. Unless con-
fttoion is to heopme worse confounded apd radio
to destroy itself there seems nothing for it but to
limit the numbey of licenses for broadcasting and
subject the licenses to rig^d control.
But this

comers vested rights ip the air which does not fit m
democratic ides, of every man
Marconi never guessed what a hard political
nnt he was, giving our congress to crack, and if
he had guessed it he probably wouldn’t have car«d.
Enough for him that he pioneered a new field in
scientific discovery.
Let others worry over the
economic gnd political problems to follow.
Mulai Yu&ee, Sultan of Morocco, may wear
royal robes of purple and ermiue but he is a mere
man after all. He proven it by his reaction to the
Charleston.
It is recorded that his $r»t VR^ of the dance
was at a Paris cafe A w^ k Q? so ago. He watched
—intently it seems—Um display of dimpled knees
in the acrobatic contortions of the dance.
Then he did vrhat every othjir normal mgn has
done on first seeing the Charleston. After looking
long and earnestly, Mulai Yusef expressed himself
as shocked at the immodesty of the w<vner\ doipg
the dance. He thought it “ awful.” He -was certain
that Mys. Mulai Yusef (or is it the Mesdames Mulai
Yusef1) would nevey do such a thing.
That just about establishes his sultauic high
ness aa kin to all the rest of ns, hut what he did
the next day clinches it.
He came back to see them do the Charleston
again.
