Zurich Herald, 1931-01-15, Page 7Predicts Musical Lighthouses That Will Sing to Sailors Talking lighleouses to tell sailors Miles out at eels lust which lighthouse • they 'are watohiag, .or even to enter- tain these passiag mariners with news of the day or weather forecasts ov the latest song and dance hits, were predicted by 0, He Caldw•ell, former 'United States Radio Commiseioner and now editor of Electronics, in a recent' address to the 'Virginia Section of the • American Chemical .Soelety ixi Rich - Mond, Virginia. The secret, Mr. Cald- well said, is the modern process by which music, speech or any other sound may be "modelated" on a light beam much as radio programa are sent ont ou the beams of radio waves from a broadcasting station. To the eye such a mueiescarrying beam looks quite as usual bat 'it it is allowed to fall an a photo -electric cell, properly arranged with vacuum tube amplifiers and other apparatus, the sound mes- sage on the light beam may be picked oft and lende andible. The beam from a revolving lighthouse, for example, might be Inade to sing a definite note whenever its rays fell on a small photoreleetric cell monnted on a shiene bridge. Even the captain in his cabin thus would know, by the distinctive musical note of, the beam, which light - lime or several along a. coast was then in sight. Supt lighthouses now are distinguished by color or by the utimb,i, and arrangement of flashes as the light revolves. The tine of, color neeeesitates decreased intensity of the light, since colored lights are not vo blight as pure white ones. The reeoga nition of lights by flashes requires co n site era b le pra aim 1 t night be (eteler, Mr. Caldwell believes, to have each lighthouse identify itself he a meshed note or even by spoken words, although the former might require ship's captains to possess musical ears in addition to the manifold qualifica- tions already necessary for that job. Russia Also Has A Family of Smiths By Helen Christine Bennett McCall's special represenMtive to Russia /n America we have one family name that crosses all boundaries. It is the mine of Smith. It may be borne by the socially elite or the wo- man who goes out by the day. We knew there must be its equivalent in Russia. When asked, smiles came at once to the faces Of Russian women. "Of course we have such a name, In Russia it is Ivanoff." It is the Smiths —the Ivanoffs ot Russia who tell the dory of the new life.—The Editor of "McCall's." Ono of the most revolutionary chaeges brought about by the Soviets has been the freeing of woman to an extent not equaled in any country in the world. In Russia today woman may vote and hold office with none of the discriminations found in other countries. She has equal sex rights and privileges; she may marry and divorce at will; she has equal rights in her children and all her ehildreu, born in wedlock or oat, are legitimate. She may do anything a man .may do without stigma. She is free as no woman in the world has ever been free—as mane is free. When you first arrive in one or the great cities of Russia and look at the people on. the streets, you search in vain for the smart, well- dressed men and women you are et- •custotned to see- oarthis Vaith Araera can continent. The Smiths who pass you wear the clothes of workers. .They are comfortable and useard clothes, but there is nothing luxuri- ous about them. Let us look at the :women. The one just -passing, deess- ' ed in khaki shirt and knickers, is the foreman of a construction gagu. The older .woman, with the red kerchief that masks the member of the Com- munist Party, is a high official, and the woman with her, in a drab gray, is a factory manager. Behind them are stwo doctors, a judge, and a "seperior .eoldiev" (officer) in uniform. There I are in Russia women soldiers with a yank equal to that of a general. All 'work is open to women. But if we want to know the more stypical Mrs. Smith of Russia, we must 0 to the factories. At the Melangi. Vombinat, a textile factory at Ivan- ovo-Voznesensk, where there are 7000 Workers, Martha Smith—Marfa Ivan- off—stands before a great spinning Machine. Seven hours a day she ;watches the spindles. The -week is five days. "I get the children ready for school before I come to the factory," she !said. "No, I give them no breakfast —that is at the school. My shift be- gins at ten. Pieter and Lydia stay bY the school two hours after my work, that I may buy for the house. Dinner?. ,Ift is at the sebool. Mine is here, at ?the factory—My breakfast also. My Irashand, he eats with me here. At 'evening we make supper at home. At 'night? Now—"her eyes sparkled—"I go three time a, week to the class. I learn to read and write. The chil- dren? The sleep.

To help her, Ake government has shortened her . e working hours, served her children roe meals at school, and given her a her husband meals at low price% 'jt the factory. As a worker, Marfa ctually receives much more than the '5S0 rubles a. month she is paid at the factory. She and her husband have litood cards, clothing cards, cards for ailways tickets at less than the ticket office sells them, soap cards and cards Or sweets, and through the factory te may buy tickets to theatres, ein- mas, concerts, at Mitch less than, box - Mee prime. As she will eagerly tell ou, there is much more. At almost every factory' a doctor , ooks after the health of the woekera. I am eta.," said Marra'"the doctor ,Itill care for me. Pay?

"We are but nursing the first feeble germs of Communism. We live now under a dictatorship of the proletariat, of the workers. It is a transition period and will not last. It is the first essen- tial step toward Communism" "Is is essential," These are the words of a woman of the intent- gentsia. "You must understand that for centuries What the Russian work- ers earned was the property of the czar, the nobilityaer the church. So little was ]eft foithem that they lived unspeakably; joy for them was nothing but vodka. There is a prise-- erb—Werk loves a fool.' To do as little as possible was a. creed of self- preservation.
