oILING UNDER
PRESSURE
Radio Likened to Auto
in Point of Popularity

NEW YORK. oct. .o.--The time
viii come soon when radio win be as
commonly accepted by humanity as
is the automobile today-when tubes
and hookups and wavelengths will be
Of less interest than the results OBJ
talnable from the different receiving
sets.
This IS the prediction OF Edward
II. Jewctt, a new man in the radio
field. but old In the automobile game.
Recently Jewett was elected vice
president OF the De Forest Radio
Telegraph & Telephone Co. after Lee
De Forest. its founder. had resigned.
Jswett's conviction about tho fu.
ture OF radio comes after close
study OF his new line from every
angie
.5n my opinion" he concludes. "thc
radio business IS undergoing n series
OF experiences very much IKE tho
au,omobss industry in It's adolesccnt
period. II viii probably develop
along much the same lines
Il suppose everyone can remember
the time when a man hardly dared
oprn a motor car unless he felt him
self thoroiy equipped 20 attend TO Il

to say. not one automobile owner IN
hundred knows anything about the
inside Of his arc. He does not have
70 and he does not want 70. All he
does want 10 know is that the car
viii take him where he wants to so.
II think the time viii very soon be
here when radio viii reach similar
point. The great interest OF people
in radio will be In what they can
hear. They win be interested more
in the quality Of entertainment their
receiving stations can furnish than
in the receiving set itself.

Chairman Culpepper of House
Committee, Airs Views as to
Elders Amendment
SAYS WOULD CUT SCHOOLS
Bill Now Gives Common Schools
Total of S4,5OO,00O, With
Conditional Added Sum

ATLANTA, July 23.-With the
introduction of the general appro-
priations bill carrying appropria-
tions totalling approximately $9,-
100000 today in the house, Chair
man Culpepper, of the appropria-
ton committee stated that if the
proposed Elders amendment to give
the commo nschools flat fund of
$5,500,000 were adopted, the
schools would, in his opinion, lose
at east half a million dollars.
The appropriations measure, as
submitted provides that the schools
shall receive $4,250,000 and one
half of all the states revenues
over $8,500,00. Representative
Elders has stated that instead of
accepting the committees recon-
Imendations he will ask that $780,
600 be added to the school fund,
with the proviso for one-half of
the revenues above $8,500,000 be
excluded.
Chairman Culpepper announced
this afternoon that he would call up
the appropriations bill Tor consid-
Grafton tomorrow morning.
The house voted to begin hold
ing afternoon sessions tomorrow in
order to expedite the consideration
of a number of important matters,
including tax reform measures and
the general appropriations bill.
Bills introduced in the house to-
day would require all fraternal and
secret organization to record the
names of those composing their
memberships, and forbid the wear
ing of masks in public; would pro-
hibit teaching of agnosticism or
Darwinism as facts and would qaur-
antine the state against the impor,
tation of green peas and green
beans from Florida.
In the senate, Senator Pace, Of
the Thirteenth, introduced a sub
stitute for the McMichael house
resolution to investigate the high
way department. The effect of the
Pace resolution would be to exclude
