At present it is supported by eight general councils representing the neighbouring communes, by nearly 200 agricultural societies, by the Federation of French South- Western Radio clube, and by the voluntary subscriptions of some thousands of local

Even if we erect a high and costly system, and take pains with the earth, we can nullify our efforts by taking both leads round the picture rail inside the room to the set, an actual instance that was recently observed.

This application by the polico of the latest outcome of electrical research will in time have effects of far-reaching importance in the prevention and detection of crime and the thwarting and capture of criminals.
Present Method
At present the description of a wanted man is sent either by post
or
telegraph to various police forces, and frequently the details are of a somewhat vague character; but, however.informative a descrip- tion may be, it obviously lacks the completeness of a reliable photo- graph, and it does not the vivid mental picture which is so helpful to every policeman.

One photograph with which an experiment was made was that of Browne, who, with Kennedy, murdered Police Constable Gut- teridge, and the transmission was so good that the wirelessed picture Was easily identified.
Finger- prints of famous criminals have also been transmitted with equal success.
It may be a long time before there is a chain of police wire- less stations in England, but officials are certain that they can already transmit to stations in America and on the Continent, and thus supply the police of various the photographs countries with and fingerprints of fugitive gangs of international thieves and others whose arrest is desired.
