J. H. Hammond, Jr., Toys With Air 
Young Scientist Incidentally Solving Problem of Useful Occupation 
LAS! Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs.f 
John Hays Hammond invited a com- 
pany of North Shore residents to listen tof 
a demonstrated lecture by Prof, Georgef 
W. Pierce, M. A., Ph. D., of Harvard Uni-} 
versity on some novel scientific experiments 
at the Hammond radio research laboratory | 
at Lookout Hill, Freshwater Cove, Glou- 
cester. 
Visitors to this section have noticed thef 
two tall, structural towers which rise more§ 
than 300 feet in the air on the eastern endf 
of the Hammond place. ‘These, fitted with} 
antennae, are a part of the laboratory 
equipment of John Hays Hammond, Jr., 
who for the past two years has been busily § 
engaged in scientific investigation along the f 
lines of wireless control of land and seafj 
apparatus including wireless telephony 
Little has been said in reference to this 
work although enough is known to warrant § 
the assertion that most substantial progress 
and accomplishment has been made along 
these lines which will eventually modify 
certain important branches of effort. 
John Hays Hammond, Jr., who is a recent graduate 
of Yale, is evidently a chip of the old block if the amount 
of “action” and dynamic energy in his make-up is a 
basis of comparison. Indeed, if heredity on both sides of 
JOHN HAYS HAMMOND, JR. 
the house counts for anything, and there 
are many who think it does in the human 
as wellas the quadruped, young Ham- 
mond’s activities are his natural birthright. 
His father, John Hays Hammond, is one 
of the century’s big men, and his mother 
is known in two henispheres as a woman 
combining rare culture and refinement with 
marked executive abilities and tact, and 
these qualities have been demonstrated re- 
peatedly in the successful conduct of the 
many large philanthropies which she has di- 
rected to a successful conclusion, the Wo- 
man’s Titantic Memorial fund being the 
latest instance in point. 
Young Hammond is answering a ques- 
tion as to “what we shall do with rich 
men’s sons” by going to work and doing 
something worth while, thereby setting an 
example to the class under fire although, 
truth to tell, rich men’s sons measure up 
remarkably well, all things considered, In 
olden times it used to be the minister’s 
sons. 
So keep your eye on young Hammond and his scien- 
tific work. He is a plugger, working a long day every 
day in the year in the laboratory erected on the place a 
year ago and he is quite likely to put an invention across 
which will be of value to mankind.—Cape Ann Shore.
