Chicago.--In a quiet room at the Chicago airport a man sits at a desk dialing numbers on a telephone and talking into a microphone. He is talking to pilots of large pasenger planes flying on routes that extend from Chicago city to the sea in the east, south and west. By the simple expedient of dialing a number he selects the plane to which he wants to talk. The two phones on his headset bring In almost continuous reports from pilots, flying hundreds of miles away. By means of two receiving sets, which are attached to the headset, he hears all the pilots talking at once. When he dials a number, he Increases the volume of one pilot's voice, at the same time decreasing the others to a whisper. However, he must listen to them a}! Id order to hear an emergency call. This scene occurs dally in the radio dispatch room of United Air lines at the Chicago airport. The dial by means of which the congested flow of radio conversation Is controlled by the dispatcher is a new development, perfected by communications engineers of the United Air lines after a year of experimenting, tt has been adopted and will be installed in the 36 ground radio stations of the air transport system. A, typical scene found Dispatcher H. P. Morgan was on duty in the dispatch room. The minute hand of a clock above his desk reached 29 minutes after 11 o'clock. It was time for a report from J. II. Smart, pilot of a plane eastbound from Cleveland. Smart was reporting on the NAT kilocycle band, so Morgan dialed the numbers 07 to increase the, volume of that receiver, and then the number 3 to decrease the volume of the other receiver, which brings In the BAT kilocycle band. - "Go ahead. Smart," Morgan said. "Smart in 86 westbound, 3 east of lU'lmer 3,200," the pilot's voice came In, loud and clear. Smart's few words indicated that he wa® flying plane No. 8(5 three miles east of Helmer, Ind., at an altitude of 3,200 feet "O. K. Smart 3 east of Helmer 3,200," Morgan replied. "Chicago weather overcast, 2,000 foot ceiling, visnbility 3 miles, wind west 5 miles an hour; temperature 88, barometer 30.07." j Their conversation was over. Tourist Plays Own Game and Beats Monte Carlo Monte Carlo.--The new Internaonal Sporting club, whose boast Is "wo are willing to play any game,? was $12,000 poorer because it accepted the challenge of Jay Merriwell, a tmt- 1st from Jersey City. Merriwell proposed a game of chuckaluck, an ancient Chinese dice game, which was popular In the mining and lumber camps of early American frontier days. Although the club management had never heard of chuckalm li it agreed to abide by Its boast. Rules of the game were found by croupiers after a feverish search of gambling literature. The game consists*'of foretelling combinations of three dice iaaide a shnker with odds 180 to 1 agalnst the player. Merriwell guessed right three times during the evening and departed, $12,- 000 wealthier. No Stilnf m Hii fl^flr Waiter--Haven't yOU forgotten something, sir?
