WIRELESS.
EThewt.reless set mods Hielins, and meditstos thereon. Bolos mune what of a parvenu. his politeness tows rds the doyen of all signallirg methods is lockets.] VISUAL signalling! Gee!
We don't have lo wait for the sun.
And it's better to sit with a 'phone to your ear Than to wait at a 'scope for the dawn-mists to clear To see "Our hellos winking like fun."
Our range is the width of the earth, Our signals pass freer than air.
Five miles or fire hundred we'll carry the news: When old helio's boasting you'll have to excuse Our mirth- " Three sides of a ninety-mile square '•!1 We work over Mlle in the way, Over heath, over bush, over briar, Fences, houses or trees we ignore with a smile; And from our point of view, well, it isn't worth n kilo To say " Over valleys as big as a shire."
For we are the up-to-date lot, We've got them all bealon for fair.
Just a touch of the key and we always get through.
And then all that is needed is " Hallo! That yoo: " And not " Are you there? " ".Are you there? " ".'ire you there? "
