Radio and the possibilities of radio have become in the last three or four years an alf.absorbiug and . widely interesting point towards which the eyes Of millions of people have been turned expectantlY.
 Gigantic strides have been made in the direction of the unattainable per- lection.
 There are at present approximately 300. 900 radio phones and radio sets in operation in the United States, or owned by amateurs and various com 3aaieas4
 Chief among those who carry on1con- 5inuous research and investigation in ahis line are the army and navy of the United States. This governmental su- pePvision has placed this country far ahead of all others of the world in this line Of work
 Dhe laboratories of the chief signal office are responsible for the small, compact and efficient continuous wave sets which, were. lately installed in Alaska. That which was installed at this place has proven itself eminently satisfactory and efficient. Vladivostok, Russia; Nauen, Germany; Madrid, Spain; Manila, P. l.; Horolulu. San Francisco, Seattle, and many other high-powered stations being easily read. Practically all stations in upper Alaska can be communicated with, as sests from here to Anchorage, Bethel and Nome proved. Not satisfied with merely evolving set which is satisfac- cory at present, however, these inves~ tigations have been carried on until, at present set has been designed which is lighter in weight, more compact and has g. transmitting radius of some five eimes the distance covered by the pres ens continuous wave equipment.

manner in which the American people have taken radio, the study of radio, and the radio telephone into their hearts. As an institution in the hone, it is fast becoming a necessary luxury.

 Housewives and mothers, be not dis mayed when the youngest son stretcheth many wires overhead and connecteth even unto the water pipes ln the bath room in order that he may have the proper ground connections, for he evinceth learning beyond his years and desire that his set shall function properly.
 Bear counsel with him and speak gently unto him, and remind him to abide within the limits of his wave length and power input.

PARIS, Sept. 1T.-The Greek over
throw and resulting fear of a new war
in the Nea~ East only momentarily
disturbed the market, which is be-
coming caIlous to economic repercus-
sions of inter-Allied dissensions. The
French policy favored the Turks, as
the latter had ceased to be a menace
Balkanward or to the Little Entente,
and the preservation of the Angora
government as second class nation
conciliated the Mussulman populations
of d Algeria and Morocco. Moreover,
Ottoman bonds are largely held in
France, and as their currency is not
yet devalorized by imitation their in
terest service is largely resumed, but
it is feared that prolonged campaign
might again cause suspension of pay
ment.
Greece likewise is built up through
European investments, but although
coupons are generally secured by Gus
toms taxes, income is much reduced
by the fall of the drachma to less than
one-siXth of its par value. Govern
ment securities of both these countries
have risen with the capture of Smyrna,
for the defeated side is counting on
rapid peace, which it is felt will
be less disastrous than even
Pyrrhic success waged with bor-
rowed money. The French govern
ment is committed to mini
mum expenditure outside of internal
needs and has realized that assistance
to Greece would eventually mean that
their own troops would be called upon,
at great expense, as England has none
available.
French taxes for the month of
August show q steady increase,
amounting to IS per cent above the
corresponding period OF 1921 and only
2.S per cent below the customs and
business turnover, which latter is &c.
100000 short at 1877 100000 francs. Even
here, however. the total is 80 per cent
higher than last year, with the prob

ness activity. This is already under
way, as normal buying again is in evil
dence, with the expectation of higher
prices this fall, due to exhaustion of
stocks and franc depreciation. The
coal mines are not only in foreign COM
petition, but are sold out, as the fear
of a severely cold winter has stimu-
lated early public buying. Metallurgical

BERLIN, Sept. 17.-The uncertain
political situation and money famine
continued to dominate the situation
during the last week, although toward
the end there arose a distinct optimism
regarding an ultimate understanding
between Belgium and Germany which
was reflected in recovery of the
mark, closing the week with 1880 to
the dollar.
All hopes are now centered on the
negotiations of President Havenstein,
of the Reichsbank, with London, par
ticularly his conversations with Lloyd
George. Should the British banks be
willing to guarantee part Of Germany's
obligations to Belgium for the rest of
marks, there is every indication of
Germany getting some respite, however
short, during which more thorough
adjustment of the reparations problem
may be hoped for.
The money shortage situation on the
other hand shows little hope of early
improvement. For the first time the
Reichsbank wass actually compelled to
close it's doors one day this week, while
banks throughout the country exhibited
signs "No Payment Made" This situa-
tion was caused by the Reichsbank
being called upon to ship two billion
marks to Upper Silesia, where workers
had been growing dangerously restive
because employers were unable to
meet payrols. Rumblings of indus
trial trouble came during the week
from the Rhine and Ruhr sections,
where railroad men were reported pre-
pairing wage demands as a result of
intensive communist agitation.
While the dollar declined during the
week the cost of living registered sew
eral new high points, emphasizing
again grave prospects for the coming
winter. During August the cost of
living mounted nearly SO per cent COM
pared with July. showing particularly
rising indices in the large cities and
the occunied area.
