INFANT INDUSTRY
CROWS AMAZINGLY
Demand For Equipment Is AS
Tremendous AS It Was
Sudden
tsy The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, May IA new infant in
dustry, the manufacture of radio
equipment, has sprung up with an
amazing growth within year and
much of it within a few recent weeks.
From a few manufacturing shops a
year ago to thousands now, an in
crease of sixty thousand percent in
demand in two years. a business in
which both boys and great manufac-
turers are taking profits: all this is
the romance of the new industry.
The demand which called it into ex
istence is at present as tremendous
as it has been sudden. The new. small
concerns manufacturing radio sup
plies are estimated by the Radio Cor
poration of America as numbering
thousands. Figures of the same cor
poration show that whereas two years
ago 1000 tubes year were in de-
mand, this year probably 100000
tubes month will be called for.
Amateurs Are PrGiiting
Reports gathered from number of
states by The Associated Press show
that many boys and other amateurs
are constructing and selling outfits.
Three years ago three Toys in Chi
cago sixteen and seventeen years old,
began to make radio outfits. They
are now incorporated and carrying
on a large business. Their success
indicates the alluring possibilities in
this new industry of adventure. Its
alleged hazards were pointed out in
the prediction of an official of one OF
the older and larger electrical supply
houses that if all the concerns now
engaged in making radio equipment
should remain in the enterprise, be-
lore long parts would become drug
on the market and that by October l
the makers of complete sets would
actively lie soliciting business.
That such a situation would be a
reversal of present conditions is indi-
Gated in the report of another large
supply house that it is two months
tehind in filling its orders and word
from all parts of the country of a
great shortage in apparatus. The
huge demand is ascribed to the prac-
tice of free broadcasting.

Director Of International ShoU
Gives Viesus on Clothes.

A mere man, albeit the president Of
the Architectural League. advanced the
opinion yesterday that there is marked
resemblance between interior decoration
and women's clothes. seeming to infer
that what 10 seen outside is that which
had best be seen inside, but this
is not what Howard Greenley. who is the
art director OF the forthcoming Interna-
tional Exposition at the Grand Central
Palace, really meant
The art Of inferior decoration" said
Mr.. Greenley, appears to be rejecting
clothes" Then ne went on to explain
he had just returned from a tour of mu-
seums and art exhibits in Europe. and
continued:
1T Is a precedent well established In
history that in each period the house
becomes a setting for the woman. To-
day in Paris one sees the new gowns
made In long. flowing lines of extreme
simplicity. For street wear colors are
usually plain, and the modern woman
steps into an automobile made Of metal
and upholstered in some material of un-
obtrusive design.
"If interiors of houses are to make a
background for this modern woman.
they. too, must be simple in spirit Nat
ural woods of beautiful texture are much
in use in the newest designs. sometimes
with a little carving: others with motives
of metal medaliions placed against them
In an advantageous way"
Dress materials are sumptpous, net
withdrawing the simplicity. Mr.. Green
ley added. and tinsel cloth, giving the
effect Of solid gold or silver. is much in
vogue.

Miss Mccormick Is

Say Paris Papers
The journal Regards Her as a
Gentle, Sentimental, Old
Fashioned Girl

PARIS, Aug. 8 (Associated Press) -
The French newspapers are devoting
much space 10 stories and pictures of
Mathilde Mccormick. She is called ''the
richest girl in the world" and there is
much comment on her plain dress and
modest department.
"She is not a spoiled child of fortune"
says the Jonrnal. She is moi the IA
miiiar type Of the AmSrioan girl often
presented in the movies. She is neither
sporty nor athletic nor III hammered
and self f-assert1ve. She Is the gentle.
sentimental, old fashioned girl we used
to love.
"She is brave enough to face noto-
riety and love the man Of her choice. no
matter how humble. II she wants to
live her own life and have her own
dreams OF happiness her wish should be
respected. Let her go meet her Prince
Charming In Switzerland and disappear
forever as Mrs. Max Oser. Surely there
would have been no objection to the
union had she attempted to contract a
vulgar marriage with some broken down
prince"
During Miss McCormick's stay In
Paris her father. Harold r. Mccormick.
has shown her much affection, driving
her about in public taxfs with his arm
about her. Whether he is reconciled to
her marriage to Max Oser he has been
unwilling to say.
Il am sorry, but for the time being
must be SILENT" 10 his answer to all
questions.
Mr.. Mccormick appears to be willing
to leave the decision with his daughter
