GROWTH OF RADIO INDUSTRY
Between Two and Three Million Fans
Have Bought and Installed
Receiving Sets.

A little more than u year ago many
Of the old established manufacturers
Of radio apparatus were wondering
how they would dispose of their stock.
Many dealers were Just making bare
living at selling radio apparatus. Just
about 100000 radio amateurs scattered
throughout the United States constl-
tuted the field for sales OF radio goods
and apparatus.
Since then Il great change has taken
place. Radio has come upon the coun-
try as u tide. Old apparatus, instru-
ments manufactured under patents Is
years old, ordinary double slide crys-
tai detector sets were becoming I'm
mensely popular.
II is said that there are almost 900
incorporated manufacturers of radio
apparatus in the United States today.
u Is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of dealers. There are some two
or three million fans who have bought
and Installed radio receiving sets.
These sets receive music and other
broadcast matter from some 500 or
more broadcasting stations located In
every state In the Union. Every state
but one has one or more stations, and
some states have as many as 20.
With the establishment of more
solid radio regulations. with the ad-
vent Of fair competition and intelli-
gent manufacture of radio apparatus
OF good design the infant radio baby
is growing Justify.

Reason for Short Wiring.

The reason that you are urged to
use short wiring and right-angle turns
in connecting set is simple one.
Every wire carrying an electric cur
rent has magnetic field; II two wires
are placed near each other they will
absorb current, but II placed at righs
angles they will oppose each other
which is just what they should do.
II you run the wires long, they will,
of course. meet with other long leads
and there will be adverse induction.

 Industrially the short let up in pig iron activities has not caused any uneasiness. The market, from all ac- counts, has not shown the bouyancy customery at this season. However, the utilization of tonnage stocked during the past IS months is to some extent believed the reason for this situation. With this exception. in- dustrial conditions are good.

CLEVER DANGERS WITH Al |. FIELD
This Years Show Resplend- ent With Bright, New
 Lines

Long and widely famous for it's clever dancers, the Al G. Field min strels this year is particularly re- splendent in this phase of it's pecu- liar art of entertainment. Dancing is one of the chief clements of the modern stage entertainment, and without it musical comedy and the vaudeville stage would be in sorry state indeed. It is an interesting fact that the popular forms of stage dancing were largely originated by minstrelsy and a large number of the more noted dancers in other branches of the profession were trained and first knew fame in the old-time min strel show. It is in minstrelsy that dancing is at it's best and has it's most favorable setting and back ground-that is. the sort of dancing which is now so popular This form had it's inception in the dances of the darkeys on the plantations of the south and in it's various manifesto tions was transferred to the minstrel stage by the founders of the art, who observed and carefully copied the negro dances then virtually unknown save in the south, but now familiar and demanded in every part of the nation and the world.
 The Al G. Field minstrels will
