showmanship is used not to allow the
first half to drag. THE real hit of the
first part is Billy Church, a real min

Jack Richards in the second part, he
agains ties UP the show with his mel
ody. Other singers of ability are
Walter Dorsey, Rody Jordan and Nick

The practice OF business concerns
comprises two distinct methods of tax
ing inventory. known under the in
come tax law as cost" and cost or
market whichever is lower" Although
the cost method is the more reliable
many concerns make use OF the cost
or market. whichever is lower basis
However. the law required that once a
concern has adopted either basis. nC
change or deviation therefrom will be
allowed except under conditions pc
culiar 10 certain businesses. For ex-
ample, when j cost" hasis is adopted

MANY a modern Goth frock

beyond those Of the ordi-

sometimes serve to disguise almost
completely the purpose OF the cos

trays the fact that the costume is.

fascinating coat frocks that we

about.
A wealth Of utility and of smart
ness envelopes the wearer Of this
coat frock Of hunters green hnc-

cipal point Of novelty is in the
sleeves. for sleeves must have
primary consideration nowadays,
but the low, bloused waist line, the
high fur collar, the trimming OF

in such an unusual manner, and the
uneven hem effect are all worthy Of

and get to the theatre in time to
appear as the children of Jerusa-
lem in the scene of the triumphant
entry of Christ into that city.

that some day they will be writer's,
often say that they will wait until
they are older before they try to
express themselves. Lincoln, who
was noted for the clearness with
which he could put his ideas into
words, says, in one of his letters:
II can remember going to my

Of the night walking up and down

RADIO NEWS.

Guglielmo Marconi has now COM
pleted successful experiments for
transmitting wireless messages in
one direction only.
A simple way of explaining wire
less broadcasting to people who did
not understand about it was to say
that sending wireless message
was like throwing a stone in the
water and the wave lengths on
which the message is carried to-
ward every direction was like the
circles which went out from the
place where the stone was thrown
into the water.
Now messages can be sent as a
CLEAN from searchlight from
some sending point to some one
definite point without spreading.
The sender can direct their course
wherever they wish. This has
been done successfully for a dis
lance of 100 miles.
Mr.. Marconi also reports prog
ress in reducing static interference
in the transmission of wireless
messages.
Progress has also been made in
the practical speed of operating
the wireless and getting messages
through more quickly. This of
course does not refer to the speed
with which a message travels
through the air. Mr.. Marconi SAYS
that they have increased the speed
OF receiving to 100 words a min
ute whereas before they could take
only 5 Dor 60.
