The 26,000,000 American homes
are being very rapidly equipped
with the service and entertainment
supplied by Radio.
The home circle is made more at
tractive, family ties strengthened,
and higher grade of culture of the
indiidual is being established for the
American people.
Take an ordinary Sunday evening
program, and it is safe to say the
average American family never lis
tened to a finer general cultural en-
tertainment.
Broadcasting stations are more
and more demanding high class per
formers and many of them render
the finest forms of high class COM
positions.
Ordinarily on Sunday evening
there are renditions on the piano
vocal solos, quartets and orchestra
numbers and first class band music.
Nearly every broadcasting station
in the country is now supplying at
least one complete church service on
Sunday and sometimes two or more.
These religious services are on
broad lines by preachers OF ali
denominations.
Further improvements in radio
programs are proposed by the Radio
Corporation of America through
superpower broadcasting stations
working in conjunction with local
stations.

CHILD LABOR In CONGRESS


The organizations which are back

power to legislate on this subject,
controlling the employment of child
rem up to the age of Is years.
1t is stated that 3S States of the
American union already place re-
strictions on conditions of employ
ment for boys and girls under the
age of IS years.
These state laws provide for pro-
tecting child labor from certain dan
gerous occupations or by limiting
the number of hours which they
may work in factories, mines, etc.
No one advocates or wants to
make a law forbidding boys and
girls to work for wages before they

when the so-called Five Per Cent

TELEPHONE ATTACH
MENTS OFTEN PROVE
TO BE HINDRANCES

Every now and then some new kind
of TELEPHONE at chment is put on
the market. Ordinarily these new
devices" are more of hindrance than
a help and the unsuspecting purchaser
soon finds that he has been taken in
by some clever salesman. The tele-
phone instruments used today through
out the Bell System are the result of
developments covering a period of 48
years. Constant, careful, scientific re-
search on the part of the Bell System
experts has been devoted to the de-
velopment of the instrument.
AS result, the telephone intru-
ments now in use today in the Bell
System are as near perfection as
n-odern science and the best mechani-
cal skill can make them, and the best
results can be secured by using the
instrument as it stands without the
addition of attachments of any kind.

SPELL BY CODE IN
TELEPKUNlNG NAMES
NeWsp~ pers Adopt Simple Means Of
Identifying Letters Often
Misunderstood.

In these days when a large number
of news items are transmitted to the
newspapers over the wire by reporters
and others, it is not surprising that
mistakes in the spelling of names or
in initials sometimes occur There is
nothing that distresses people quite
so much as to see their names appear
with the wrong initials or with the
name itself slightly misspelled.
Newspaper editors realize this, but
they also know that by using simple
letter code over the telephone in Civ,
ing names and addresses such errors
can be avoided.
There are five letters in the alphabet
that sound nearly alike, but few PEG.
pie realize this. These letters are t,
p, d, e, and b. Not only that, but m
and are telephone Siamese twins
and and g are at least first cousins.
These are the letters that are usually
responsible for the mistakes that ap-
pear.
The difficulty is not confined merely
to newspaper Offices, but is commonly
met with by those taking messages by
telephone. Newspapermen have found
that the best way to offset this is to
adopt code system of indicating a
name when giving the initial as, for
example, as in Benjamin, p as in
Peter, d as in Daniel, etc.

BIG PAPER CONSUMERS

Three hundred and fifty carloads OF
paper comprising 1000 tons in all
were used last year by the Western

for insulating cable wires, although
considerable quantity was required
to separate the layers of tin foil iu
