ITALIAN SCIENTIST FASHION
ING KEY TO FIT LOCK
TO MYSTERIES
LONDON, May 13. (JP)—Guglielmo
Marconi, the Italian scientist who
has unlocked many of radoi’s sec
crets, is fashioning another key
which he hopes will fit the lock
to still more mysteries—those of
ultra-short waves.
Whether the key will.be suitable,
and if so what it will reveal, .Mar
coni, smiling, doesn’t predict. But
he says:
"Nothing is impossible.”
One gains the impression that j
Marconic feels radio may be on I
the threshold of another great
era of development. But that
sn’t what he says.
At the moment, in the light of
what is known about them, he
sees only limited possibilities for
ultra-short waves.
"They seem to have some of
the properties of light waves,” he
explains. "They cannot pass
through obstructions, such as
buildings, but they can pass thru
fog, smoke, darkness.
May Guide Ships in Fog
"Thus they may be useful in
guiding ships and trains—tasks of
tha nature. In a fog a ship could
put a short-wave belt about itself,
warning all other ships that come
within that belt.
"The great obstacle is that they
can be sent only for comparatively
short distances. They do not seem
practicable for commercial use
over long distances. Certainly not
from here to America, for exam
ple.”
He sees some hope for the fu
ture in that some way may be
found to "bend” them.
CORDOVA SOON YOUTH
RESCUED TWO DHOWR
The story of how John Blum,
born in Cordova, the son of the
late Sam Bluin, former Cordova
baner and business man, rescued
two youths from drowning in Lake
Washington, is told in the Seat
tle Post Intellingencer for March
20.
K. C. Jacobs and C. R. Reely,
marine corps privates from Sand
Point, clung for more than an
hour to their overturned canoe
in the icy waters.
They were on the verge of ex
haustion when Ensign John Blum,
naval reserve officer, saw them
from his plane. He dropped like
a plumment to the lake and tax
ied toward the boys, transferring
them to the cockpit with con
siderable difficulty and taking
them to shore.
