that the cost of .installation and

Not long ago, radio was play
thing a tort of hobby for the youth
of America.
The ether was a vast concert hall
and on rlear nights was a bedlam
of buzzing with numerous spark
sending stations filling the air with
the dot and dash.
With the development of the radio
telephone, broadcasting; stations have
liei'ti erected throughout the United
States and they have used the vast
amphitheater of space to send forth
music, news announcements, con
certs and speeches thai may be heard
in any home equipped with antenna
and receiving set.
If a person can operate a phono
graph, he can operate a receiving.
set. It is simply a case of turning
a knol of a rntiit uK coil and listen
ing to the music or news as it comes
in. Radio amateurs may wonder at
the source of the concerts ct alia.
That is ably bring cared for in any
city having a broadcasting station as
it is attended to it Omaha. '
The Bee's concerts from the Oma
ha Grain Exchange station, WAAW,
entertained thousands of radio fans
throughout the middle west at least
once a week.
Five time every day. the Omaha
Grain Exchange -station broadcasts
the latest grain and livestock market
reports, while every night this sta
tion fills the ether for hundreds of
miles around with music and enter
tainment that might cheer mother
and daddy, sister and brother.
Ranchers out on the prairies, who
have audion bulb receiving sets may
listen in on the programs as thiy
are sent out from powerful broad
casting stations.
Weather reports are broadcast al
so from the grain exchange station.
Sermons are becoming common over
the radio, so that the typical preach
er has literally "become a "sky pilot"
alter all.
What the future holds for radio
in the home is a matter of conjec
ture. What radio rr"ans to the farm
er and rancher will be taken ud in
these columns of The Bee tomor
row.
Static Still a Bother.
However, static, the old enemy of
wires and wireless both,- is giving
radio operators lots of trouble these
days. The radio section of the bu
reau of standards is being flooded
with inquiries as to what to do about
it. Echo answers "what," for the in
ventor who finds a way of nullifying
it will make a fortune.
Static is atmospheric disturbance
caused usually by a heated atmos
phere, dust storms, the aurora bore-
alis, or northern lights, rain, snow
and other disturbances which have
caused trouble to half-hearted novices.
SPARKS
The bureau of standards save that
a properly erected radio set acts as
a lightning rod and protects the

If O. Henry's gentle grafter were

lightning rod as having outlived its
usefulness and ht would-be selling
trick radio sets. But it radio to
relegate the lightning rod to the
limbo of the ancient would he kick
ing off the rung by which it has
ascended the ladder of success. The
lightning rod was the father of the
antenna.
