RADIO FROM TRAINS
SOON TO BE PRACTICAL

Hello, A. #. O.. Brooklyn. This 10
George, nearing Stroudsburg, Pa, on
way to Scranton. ! forgot to send check
20 Williams, and to ask Bill to get line
on shipment of new car. Radio me at
Chicago how things CO.
This, according to the Society for
Electrical Development. is the kind OF
radiophone messages which we soon may
expect to be sent commonly through
space by busy man on a train travel
ing at sixty or seventy miles an hour,
10 his home far behind. The society
points to the recent experiments made on
the Lackawanna Railroad when mes
sages were received and transmitted
with ease. as well as the general de-
velopment of radio recently. as certain
indication of the wonders of the future.
Although In the case OF the Lacka-
wanna experiment" the society states.
"the radio outfits were confined TO two
trains. one starting from Scranton. Ia.
for Jersey City, and the other from Jer-
sey City for Scranton, there is no rea-
son why any person travelling anywhere
should not talk direct by air line to his
home or office without leaving his train.
Here then is suggestion for more
powerful receiving sets installed In the
home or an additional use for the radio
already installed. which Is far more i'm
portant than It's present use as an en-
tertainer, for by this means II will be
possible TO talk directly into home or
office from a train In the center Of the
country, ship In midocean or n caravan
In desert wastes. No doubt with the in
creased development of radio such a
condition will be reality rather ahan a
dream"

RELAY LEAGUE WANTS
POLICING AUTHORITY
Prefers TO Enforce WaUe
Length Restrictions.

The American Radio Relay League In
an article in this months QST, tho
organ of the league. favors amateur
elf-policing in the radio field.
"One of the dreams of our A. X. r. l..
now bids fair to become true very soon,'
the article says in speaking of the
Washington radio conference. ut is
that we may be permitted to police our
selves by means of representatives
chosen from the midst of us amateurs
and deputized to act as assistant radio
inspectors, with enough authority to
insure respect of their orders
"Of course for a long time we have
had our local traffic managers. our CO.
operative rules and our division OF
operating hours-ever since there was
Chicago plan'--and the local radio in
spectors have given us hearty coopera'
ton and as much OF their time as they
could spare. But there has been a lack
Of authority, and our executive councils
and division officials have not always
been able to back up their demands for
good behavior when meeting up with
the occasional refractory individual who
lacks respect for the laws and the rights
Of others"
Hope IL expressed that Secretary
Hoover will give his approval to the
request of the league, which is backed
by the Radio Commission at Washing
ton, that provisions be made for anna
teur deputy inspectors to chase amateurs
off wave lengths higher than 275 meters,
or zoo meters II the present wave length
is maintained. and otherwise to police
space. AS there are $1,000 amateurs
In the country. all now crowded below
200 meters. the task is an important
one.

are not so widespread as formerly, 1t
was said. and expressions of belief in a
steady. ii irregular. movement toward
economic recovery were more frequently
heard. The Credit Clearing House
Weekly showed the tide of payments re-
corded TO have been increased In the
South and the Middle West. There was
slight seasonal decline OF purchases
by merchants throughout the country
and slight increase In Indebtedness.
No great Improvement was noted in
knit goods lines. trading remaining of
nomainal character in practically all Of
them. SILK hosiery in novelty patterns
was the only item that gained in sales.
Underwear was quiet with only a few
scattered orders placed for minor guam
titles of heavy garments Outerwear
was quiet except In novelties.
Aside from developments in their own
trade, buyers regard the activity in
financial circles as being the one factor
bound to make for steady Improvement
in their own lines. The impression that
the attitude of financiers will lead to
of the entire industry Is
general in textile centers. 1t is appar-
ent. however, that until the farmers
recover their purchasing power on an
established basis and uncertainties of
a new tariff be settled. that any re-
covery of trade based on what some
consider speculative advances in raw
material will but lead TO dangerous mer-
chandising activities.

BY MOTOR THROUGH
LAND OF CRUSADES
Correspondent Describes Trip
From Haifa to Border of
=
French Syria.

LONDON, May 6.--There is no metaled
road yet from Haifa to the border of
French Syria, writes a Near East cor
respondent to the Times, but the traveller
who would avoid a night at sea or a
long detour by rail through Deraa and
Damascus to Beirut must take motor
car at Haifa II it is fne. If it has
rained heavily he had better face the
railway, for unless one has friends at
Haifa there is no worse place in Pales-
tine at which 20 stay. The German
hotels on Mount Carmel have been
turned into Government offices, and OF
the Arab hotels in the town--well, least
said soonest mended,
There is an excellent motor car SER
vice daily between Haifa and Beirut
weather permitting. 1t is managed by
q family of New Zealanders settled since
the war at Beirut. One of them is one
of the best drivers on bad track whom
have sat behind. Not all the journey
of five hours is interesting.
There are really pretty stretches be-
tween Acre and Tyre; black earth plains
blaze in spring with the, characteristic
flowers of Palestine. red anemones.

see The bare foothills of Lebanon shut
out Hermon from your sight; the strip
of coastal plain grows marshy in places

past does not atone for a Levantinized
present. and you feel certain relief
when you speed through it's orchards

WEEK END SELLING
DEPRESSES COTTON
May Weak During Most of Ses-
sion Under Liquidation
in Quiet Market.

Week end sellin gout of long com
mitments in sufficient volume appeared
yesterday to depress the cotton market
some 10 to 33 points, with May, the
spot option, relatively weak during most
CT the session under belated liquidation.
The general situation was not enough

tive of any one of last week. Bears
stressed the favorable weather in the
belt, the official map showing clear con-
ditions in Texas and most Of the West
ern belt and only few scattered
showers east of the Mississippi, which
would do little or no harm to the crop.
For the most part the market fluc-
tuated in narrow limits, closing at
little above it's low. or at, 6 to 25 points
less than Fridays finals. Business was
not very active at the outset, when
prices were 16 points net lower to 3
net higher. March being the only month
to show gain. Bulls were favored by
week end figures, showing spinners
takings to be $4,000 bales greater than
those of the corresponding time of last
year, a smaller into-sight and n 2000.-
900 bale increase In worlds takinss OF
American cotton.
Week end trade reports were bullish
but appeared to have been pretty much
discounted. Fall River sales of last
week were 25O.000 pieces and curtai!-
ment In that center was 10000 pieces.
Prices on most lines Of goods were ad-
vanced The sessions best buying was
by local interests, part of 1t covering
and part new support for turn.
The local spot market was 20 points
net lower at 1855 pound for mid
ding. The New Orleans spot market
was steady, net unchanged at lS.l2
cents It's sales were of 323 bales
