fir A. staff BERLIN, Oct. the outskirts of Potsdam stands a Russian village, Inhabited by Russians, not one of whom'has ever seen Russia. The village owed Its existence to the 'thoughtful generosity of Czar Alexander, who, In 1814, presented thirteen soldiers to Frtedrlch Wilhelm the Third as a "gift." Peter the Great long prided dlrtl' on his Preobraschenski regiment, created by him and In Us time probably the most efficient military unit in the imperial army. When Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia sent to the czar of all the Russlas a casket of ambers, Peter Was ip overjoyed that he reciprocated by sending the king fifty-five soldiers picked from the Preobraschenskl regiment, the most prized gift at his disposal, to be added to the Potsdam royal guard.

He also arranged to send ISO soldiers from same outfit every year thereafter. custfcm eventually was interrupted, but when, during the of 1812-13, this Prussians' captured thirteen of the Preobraschenakl troopers, Czar Alexander wrote Friedrich Wilhelm III that he thought the quaint custom should be resumed and that Prussia, therefore, could keep the thirteen prisoners as a "gift." The Prussian monarch accepted, gave each of the thirteen Russians a piece of land near Potsdam and thereafter left them more or less on their own Fifteen years later an orthodox Russian church was built in the village "they established. Late this year the tenth anniversary of the founding of the church was celebrated by Russians living in many parts of Germany. They came and found a village really Riisslon in its external appearances, in the architecture of its houses, in the' customs of people In the typical Slavic faces and typica Slavic physiques of tile inhabitants but aside from these characteristics the village and the villagers, they were German. The people speak only German, having long since the language of their grandfathers; their soda and political thought ia directed along German lines; their children attend German schools; only four of the original Russian names JablokofT, Gregorleff, Schischkoft and rest of the family names have all become Germaniclaed through Intermarriage or petitions.

Even the Russian church has no' worshippers, the vll lagers attending Instead a nearby Evangelical church. Plans for what is asserted will lie the largest bathing beach In the world to be laid out along one shore the Wannsee, a suburban lake, 'have finally been completed by the munlc ipal authorities of Berlin. Work on the enlargement of the beach wan started last spring and is expected now that the plans are fully drawn to be finished by the' opening of season next summer. In all the beach will be slightly more than two kilometers long. It three large dressing halls are to ac commodato approximately bathers at one time.

In the center the beach will be erected a gigantl eating house, a prime necessity a any German pleasure spot, and thl building la to include a glassed-in veranda, an outdoor terrace anc hwtuimerous dining rooms of varlou nines. Nearby will be a second res taurant for the use of people wh have not time or do not feel incllnec to remove their bathing suits befor eating. In upper Bavaria there lies a small beautiful, almost idyllic, 1y its only drawback is that the wate Is very warm and has the appearanc of being quite dirty. Henco it at 'tracts no great crowds of summer vis itora. This summer, when wealthy stranger arrived In one the lakcsldo villages and announce! that ho wished to buy a strip of land along the lake, ostensibly to be used ns a villa site, yicople began to wonder.

They asked questions and thus learned that it wan not a villa site he was seeking. It- that his purchase would have something to do with, radium, that he was planning experiments in that direction for which the water of the lake was peculiarly suited. Albeit, the simple peasants had never hoard of radium, but they did know radio. When evening came they wont in a body to the shore of the lake to find out for themselves what the water had to do with radio. At first they heard the buzzing of thou- SOME WOMEN ALWAYS ATTRACT f'-F in or the first phenomenon, music ttrt hftW Soon thereafter actual fcUi.ng heard floating in over the waler.

Right now the supply of operators just about equal to the demand, Mr. Barren figures. But in five years, at the outside the services of just double the. number now -available should be required. For example, the Universal' Wireless Communications Company, authorized to.

(Copyright, 1929, by Consolidated Press Association.) WASHINGTON.

D. Oct. 'Young man, study radio!" That's the advice of J. H. Barton, radio 'inspector of the department of commerce, in charge of the licensing of all commercial operators.

A serious shortage' of experienced radio operators and technicians is in prospect, according to Mr. Barron, and will become 'acute as the pass. Practically all of the 7,000 licensed commercial operators now employed, either as operators or broadcasting stations, pr in the varl ous other lines of endeavor In which the services of operators are required. But the need of operators Is increasing every day, says Mr. Barron, and as the radio art progresses the demand for experienced men Will become- more and acute.

Invasion of radio into the Domestic telegraph field on a nationwide scale, and competitive with the wire lines wilf call for the services of thousands men not now available. Television and visual brdadcastlng now doing its utmost to pop out of the laboratory and into the home, will require the guiding hands of operators at each transmitting station. Ships on the seas and planes In the air all need more operator's, while experimenters are striving to develop new means of using tho other, which finally will open up other uses for the radio man. Radio offers an excellent field for young men, says Mr. Barron.

It compares favorably with aviation, and is moderately lucrative at the be. ginning. Then a radio operator, whether he in pounding the key at the transmitting station lor codo communication, or keeping transmitter primed, is just one step below the "engineering" realm. Of the 7,000 licensed operators in the rolls of the commerce department some 6,000 are employed by commercial. The remainder are in service of Uncle Sam.

There are about 2,200 ships flying the American which, roughly, retail 2,500 operators. The 350 point-to-point radio-telegraph stations in the United States employ about 700 operators some 1,000 operators are retained by broadcasting stations; the 100 transoceanic radio-telegraph stations employ about 600 operators; shlp-to- Mjxfimental nefft witR whloh to eriWte gathering and distributing network, will have openings for some 000 operators. Another Inevitable demand for operators wftl grow Out of the action.of the safety of life at sea convention held in London last May, and Which becomes effective on July 1831. Under the provisions of this agree- int, all passenger vessels of more than 3,000 gross tons shall carry two- operators, and all cargo ships of more than 5,600 gross tons ehall maintain continuous watches, requiring two operators. Heretofore vessels til these categories carried only a single operator.
