First, the cturer explained how the duty was laid on every ship by the inter-THE national convention relating to safety at sea to cease every other kind of wireless work on hearing the 8.0.8. call for help. in order to pick up that message. mentioned that the time signal sent daily from the Eiffel Tower was of im mense value to the navigator in correct ing is chronometers, and that ships with modern receivers could read it pretty well all over the world. The big liners could keep up steady communication by wire les with the shore practically all the year round, but the smaller ships could not do so, consequently an elaborate relay sy tem of passing messages on to the mare powerfully equipped ships was in force. For instance, a big vessel might be not more than two days' steara away from port, and a small vessel within wireless range would send a long message which would be transcribed in the big ship, put in an envelope and. posted on arrival at pert through the Post Office. Charts were published showing the approximate positions of these big vessels on any day, according to their sailings.
Then the number of operators a ship | had to carry was £xed according to the number of persons carried, and every essel with over 200 souls on board had to carry three operators and maisinin a Three wireless watch round the clock. hundred British ships came within that category, and the lecturer mentioned that the British mercantile fleet was approxi mately half the mercantile feet of the world. In the next category, that was, ships over 1,000 tons, which had to carry at least one competent telegraphist, there were 3,000 ships.
The great majority of ships carried! crystal receivers, end it was much to be desired that valve reception should b introduced more generally, but the dif ficulty was largely an economic problem, The absence of valve receivers made thei etention of the spark signals necessary, and near the coast listeners to broadensi ing found these signals forcing themselves into their programmes. But the continued hase of spark signals with very fat tuning had this advantage that there was less likelihood of important signals being missed through misadjustment of the finer timing of valve reception. There was th a great deal to be said in favour of retaining the spark sets.
The lecturer then described the pro- gress made in wireless telegraphy during recent years. Twenty years ago, he said;.

clearly the urgent need of a League of THE NEW FRENJE REMEDT
Nations happily every year shows an increase in the authority and elliency of the League that exists. It is not 100 much to say that our four years' experi- ence of its working shows that if its growth continues there is solid ground for believing the League will become an instrument powerful. enough to render international war as obsolete as feudal forays. To that consumination, however, the abolition of aggressive armaments is, an essential preliminary.
The year that has just closed has witnessed the gravest tests of the machi- uery of the League that we have seen, and from those tests it has emerged with added strength. It is now clear that the machinery of the League is available to deal with any international dispute, how- ever grave its character and however powerful to it the parties may be. Nor are its reconstructive achievements less remarkable. Austria has been given a new lease of life. We many hope the same has been done for Hungary There is no reason why similar methods should not be applied to even more serious European problems with similar results.
Nevertheless, European peace still tarries. The Gerraan question still stops.. the way. Till that is solved no substan- tial progress towards the reconstruction of Europe can be hoped for. The repara
question must be settled." Germany tions. must be admitted to the League and, if possible, Russia also. These are tasks for 1924. Disarmament, Reparation, Ger- many, Russia-there is plenty of work to Ive done, Now as always we must rely for our motive power on the instructed opinion of democracies of the world. Therefore our watchword remains educ ate, educate, educate. "In that great task the League societies must bear the chief part. May all good wishes attend them."
The bumber of houses completed in' Great Britain last year totalled over | 77,000, or, more than the average annual output the ten years before the war, and it is expected that the 1924 figures will reach the high-water mark of 1908, when 105,000 houses were built.
A gift of £30.000 has been made to the Provost and Fellows of Queen's College, Oxford, for the foundation of travelling fellowships, by Mr. Henry Laming, an honorary fellow of the college.
