RADIO PLAY TOO LIFE-LIKE, Aiuch consternation was occasioned in Berlin recently through circulation of a rumour stating that tho Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Curtis, had been murdered iu Geneva. Philips Radio state that it was subsequently discovered that tho broadcasting of a realistic radio play entitled “Tho Aliuister Alurdercd” had been taken by the majority of listeners as an act of reality. LOUDSPEAKERS IN COURT.

In many of our law courts throughout tho world which were built before uccoustics were understood, it is very difficult for witnesses to bo clearly understood.

In South Africa Philips Radio have solved the difficulty in several courts by installing loudspeaker , equipment,. Tho witness speaks into a microphone, and by means of the speakers can be heard clearly over the whole area of the court room.

COMBATTING RADIO INTERFERENCE. AIORE POLICE REGULATIONS IN GERMANY. The police at Cosscl, iu Germany, have issued stringent regulations against radio-interference, stating that persons who cause interference in radio reception by apparatus that have not been made non-interfering will be prosecuted. According to Philips Radio only during those hours of the day when people do not listen much may these apparatus be used. Aloreover, attention is drawn to tho fact that when buying electrical apparatus it is important to seo that these apparatus are non-interfering, and if not, to have them made non-interfering.

RADIO AMONG THE BOERS. Radio has come as a great boom to the Boer farmers in South Africa, and although programmes broadcasted by South African stations arc generally iiifcrior to European programmes, they are very much appreciated. , Until recently Hie, South African farmer used to go to bed at 8 o’clock, but nowadays -nearly every farm and homestead has its receiving set, and tho bedtime has been considerably advanced.

The young people have found in radlo a new common object, and on occasional evenings many of them ride many miles on horseback to a rough and ready shack where they can dance to tho strains of a , broadcast band. In this region, however, the importance of radio is not confined to recreation, for the farmers, where many districts get their newspapers at least three days late, can now keep in touch with the news of the day, weather forecasts and market prices. The Philips shortwave station I’CJ in Holland is one of the most popular stations among these listeners.
