tbs or. any other time: The 800 meters
wave length now assigned under the
international convention is very little
used and will be used for inland
broadcasting. and 1t is not expected
that the ships will avail themselves
of the international agreement In
this particular, as IL has not proved
of practical advantage except to a
r1imited extent.
For internal broadcasting the
department proposes to cooperate
with the various stations with a view
to developing systematic assign
ment of wave lengths to the various
stations within the broad confines of
without hardship. the following
classification OF stations will be
made: p.
|. Glass A stat:ons-that is. stations
equipped to use power not exceeding
500 watts. In this class 1t is pro-
posed that the radio inspectors in
cooperation with the station own
lengths to each station 20 far as Is
possible in the area from 2e2 to 500
meters. No station will be required
10 change from $50 unless It so de-
sires.
Class II Stations.
Class stations-thst is. stations
equipped to use from soc TO 1000
. to similarly offer TO license these
stations on special wave lengths from
goo TO S45 and from 3i5 to 545 meters.
having regard to the maintenance OF
some ship work on 450 meters as
outlined above, and again no station
will be required to change from $50
funless II so desires.
Glass c stations--comprising all
stations now licensed for $50 meters.
In this class no new licenses will be
issued for stations on $50 meters
until the plan Is entirely realized.
Stations which. do not wish to move
under the general plan may remain
at $50 meters. but they will neces-
sarily be subject to some interference
at best. 1t is thought that by the
, above plan the stations can be grad
uallv brought into accord without hard
ships.
Under the plan amateurs are given
the whole area from $50 to 22e. In
stead OF being fixed upon 200, with
special license at 315. The special
licenses hitherto issued for slnate urs
at 375 will now be issued at go. Ger
tain special cases will be taken care
operation with the amateur associa-
tion. to develop an assignment OF
wave bands in classification. so as TO
somewhat relieve the present inter-
ference among amateurs. 1t will be
remembered that the number OF wave
bands which can be used among the
short wave area assigned to the anna
teurs is greater in proportion than
among the longer wave lengths, and
these arrangements expand the area
hitherto assigned to amateurs.

What was visible of milady's s
frocks and suits frankly displayed a
return to long. ankle-length skirts.
Side panels seemed to give the most
striking effects from the Egyptian
styles, while the skirts were much
more full than during the past
season.
One of the most striking costum es
was a fawR-colored suit. ankle

seemed to be a girdle dangling on

Spring coats were few. but those
that appeared were OF the Jacket

costumes.

EFFECT OF CHANGES.

The reservations proposed by the
French senate naval commission to
senate ratification of the Washington
naval treaty aroused some specula
ton here as to the effect they might
have on plans of the government to
put the treaty through before ad
journment of the present session of
parliament. Should the senate lay
down the proposed reservations in
its ratification measure, presuma bly,
concurrence of the chamber of depu-
ties would have to be obtained before
French ratification of the pact could
be completed.
On the face of press accounts of
the nature of the reservations off,
cials here We're disinclined to at
tempt an assessment of their effect
upon the treaty. The complete text
of the reservations, either to the
naval treaty or to the submarine
warfare agreement, has not been re-
ceived. Whether in either case the
limitation in construction of the
clause of the treaty proposed by the
French constitute an amendment of
the Washington conference projects
or merely set out the French under
standing of those projects can be
determined only when the complete
text is available.
The original American plan called
for application of the capital ship
ratio straight down the line to ali
types of naval craft. Failure to OBJ
tain agreement with relation to the
proportion of strength of the powers
in submarines. however. brought an
immediate declaration from the Brit
ish that there could be no agreement

other anti submarine craft The

from Mai. Bells Office. About $50
acres are cleared and have been under
cultivation, while the balance is good
