WIRELESS ON MOTOR-CARS.

MARVELS AT FIRST BADIO EXHIBITION.

The very latest exhibits in, wireless apparatus and accessories draw a large crowd to the frat Radio Exhibition, which opened at the Central Hall, Westminster, last month. The incessant inquiries with which exhibitors were bombarded were at indication of" the keen interest this new. science and hobby has awakened, says one of the London newspapers from the following paragraphs ALDO

One of the novelties of the exhibition is a motor car, fitted complete with receive ing set, shown by the Autoreyer Company. All you see is the reseiring box neatly ensconced below the buck seat, and a bright parasol resting casually is front. The parasol, on inquiries, discloses itself as a loop-aerial, by the aid of which one way ride out to the country and enjoy a wire less picnic.

Another innovation displayed by the same firts is a tele-typewriter, price £120, which should considerably facilitate the enterprise of business men in clubs and isolated country houses and on board ship. An ordinary typist tapa an ordinary type writer keyboard, the communication is immediately transmitted and transferred on to a tape machine at the other end. Here, too, an H.P.R. trumpet receiving set, price 100.gs., will switch you on to any station north, south, east and west in. something like 80 sec.

Of special interest to amateur hobbyists. were the various parts ready for home con- struction, which permit a considerable say- ing on the made-up'set. The Bareka stall showed these at 2. 178. Amateurs, too, were busy trying their hand at wireless aleuthing in the Bleakdown Crime Mystery," prizes for the elucidation of which are competed for twice daily. A wealthy senorita has been found shot dead desolate moor. A telephone is provided to enable the investigator to call up police, ships at sen, etc according to the particular due he or she ishes to follow up. What could be more simple?

Presiding at the inaugural lancheon at the Victoria Mansion Restaurant Major- General Sir W. S. Bruncker said that, thanks to wireless, aircraft in future in any part of the world would be able to know what the weather was like hundreds, oven thousands, of miles ahead, and thus travel safely through clouds, darkness, or any sort. of weather. Empires in the past hat de pended on communications for their ex- istance, and future history would, undoubt- edly record that wireless and aviation between them had been largely responsible for the preservation of the British Empire.

ANTI-SWEARING CAMPAIGN.

VERONA'S OATHS DOWN BY 75

PER CENT.

The Obscrver's correspondent at Rome |

writes:-

The

Three months ago some idealists at Verona formed a society for the suppression of bad language. They claim that swearing in Verova has already been reduced 75 per cent., and that in the course of another fifteen years it will hare entirely dis- appeared. Every means of propaganda is used, including posters and notices On public buildings, railway stations, schools, barracks, etc, and showers of leaflets from aeroplanes and imitation bomba in firework exhibitions. notices themselves are varied, picturesque, and adapted to circumstances. Here are some of them:-"Dante orders you not to offend the land of song by oaths." "Be careful! If you swear, your children will despise you and civilised society will cast you out!" "Profanity is a short circuit." At the football club, huge printed notices urged the players to Give a kick to swearing," and to "make many goals, but not one oath." The Committee want gourds and policemen to be empowered to take the name and address of individuals who are overheard using bad language in the streets, the said panies and addresses to be posted up to public scorn in the great central square of Verona...

A crusade against swearing wasinstituted so long ago as the 18th century in Florence by a certain porter, Pietro Borsi, who bound over bis companions to pay a small fine this paper. every time they uttered an oath, and with the money thus collected he founded the famous brotherhood of Mercy, the "Misericordia," which takes care of sick or wounded persons found lying helpless in the streets, and is still a fourishing and most useful institution. And on one. Sunday in the year the Archbishop of Florence bolds a special service of intercession against profanity and evil speaking, in cathedral, with a procession of all the religious orders.

the

At Verona Pietro Borsi has found latter. day imitators, for in several cafés a col- lecting box is placed on the table when a group of workmen are preparing to play eards, and a fine of twenty centimes is imposed for every bad word."

It has been rumoured that Bignor Gas- parotto, who was War Minister in-Signor Bonomi's Cabinet, is about to bring in a bill making swearing a punishable offence among soldiers. Most people, however, consider that it might be more prudent, for the present, at any rate, not to deprive the mad tried army of this one aty. valve.

Disarmament occupied the attention of the International Conference of the Alliance for promoting through the Churchi month at Copenhagen. “ÿ
