SECRECY.
AIM Of NEW
DEVICE
Invention Will Enable 5roau-
casting Stations to Charge
for Their Programs

NEW YORK, May 19.-Several
American radio broadcasting stations
may be able to employ the super
audible wave-frequency invention Of
John Hays Hammond, r., it was
announced today by the Radio Cor
poration Of America.
Employment OF Hammond's in
vention, which has been demon
strated to the Italian government,
would enable any broadcasting sta
ton to exact charges for it's pro-
grams, inasmuch as special type
of radio receiver is necessary to
pick up the waves broadcast by
the Hammond system. The Ham
mond plan makes for secrecy in
radio transmission. since the re-
ceiver must be adjusted to the
sending station after a predeter-
mined combination.
Two stations in New York--WJZ
and WY, as well as WRC at
Washington. are under control of
the Radio Corporation of America,
Of which Hammond is director.

Heat an electric pad slightly
and place this lightly over the
towel. Leave Il on as long as II
feels comfortable but not more
than one hour. When the heat
begins to be felt you might gradu-

kind Of cold cream for, the face

quickly when heat IL applied IN

Even though you have not an
electric heating pad at your dis

be obtained by means cf q hot

Needless to say. In order to get
the whole good effect from this
simple beauty treatment you viii
need to don a comfortable negIigee
and entirely relax on your chaIse
Tongue or bed while you let the
heated oil gradually sink into
your eyebrows. eyelashes and COM

This is an excellent way to
spend restful evening at home,
perhaps beginning first Of all with
a hot bath, and brushing Of your
hair and concluding with the mani
curing Of the finger nails.
Marvellous results can be at

vaseline, cold cream and heating

youthful look before going out
again to dinner party, dance, the

HOW THEY CAUGHT A PUFFTN.

end Of it,"
And with that Bobby ran to
find stick. He found one and
also piece Of wire, which he
fastened on the end of the stick.
Bobby stuck out his hook, and
in q fifty caught a putin around
the neck.
But--in jiffy, what do you
think happened? About ten puff
fins hurried to the rescue. They
seized the captive in their bills
and with their claws in a great ef-
fort to save their comrade.
And what cackling and cry
