Laws Are Cited.
Attention has been called to tn
fact that 1t is illegal for magazinc

RESISTANCE OF TUBES
Is IMPORTANT FACTOR

Some doubt seems to exist in con.
nection with the proper resistances
to use with the tubes now on the
market.
For example, 1t would be ruinous
to the life Of a 201-A tube to oper.
ate it from a storage battery with
only ohms in series with the
tube. 1t is also poor policy to use
30-ohm rheostat in series with fiji
ament Of a W.D. II or IL dry cell
tube. AS matter of reference for

APPEAL FOR
ENGINEERS
Civil Service Needs Many. it
This Profession for Imme-
date nd Future Service.

With engineering problems cor
tinually increasing in each Govern
ment department, the demand for
additional engineers has grown
steadily until a national drive has
been started by the United States
Civil Service Commission in an eff
fort to recruit the required num-
Der. More than 1900 civil engi-
neers are employed solely by the
Government, it was learned today,
while the total number of engi-
heers on the Government payrolls,
exclusive Of those serving in the
army and navy, is upwards of
5000.
The present drive is for junior
engineers. Every conceivable agency
through which the demand can be
brought to the attention of stu
dents taking engineering courses in
universities and colleges is being
employed by the commission. The
latest agency to be utilized is tie

of the Civil Service Commission,

ton station in fifteen-minute talk.
Value of Employment.
Among the features he will en-
phaslZe is the value to the young
engineer of having been employed
by the Government. Many engi-
neers now holding lucrative posi-.
tons with industrial organizations
were brought to the attention of
the latter while in Government EN-.
ploy. 1t will be shown also that
the Government itself offers high
salarled positions to engineers who
possess unusual ability.
Inc demand for engineers is illus
trated, according to Morgan, by the
annual appointments made by the
water research branch of the Geo.
logical Survey. In this branch alone
from twenty-five to fifty new 20.
sitions are opened each year. In
the Department Of Agriculture, the
Bureau OF Highways will appoint
some twenty engineers this sum

New York Judge Suggests Its

this city.
Cayuga county will be the first
county in the United States to twy

from its adoption. Judge Mosher
points out.
Auburn attorneys believe that
the testimony of witnesses residing
out of a State and who cannot be
subpoenaed to appear in person,
but are willing to testify, could l,n
received in court by radio, thus
giving jury sitting in the case an
opportunity to hear the voice of
the witness-much more effective
than the reading Of testimony be-
fore the jury.

legislation that would permit the
taking of testimony in this man.

presence of a commissioner at the
point where the testimony is being
given to certify that the person
giving the testimony was the wit

amount Of time. besides giving the
court and the Jury the opportunity
Of hearing the voice of the witness.
The commissioner would pro-
pound the question, and the wit

stenographer taking it as he would

time is not far distant when it will
be possible to install broadcastine

FEE FOR
BROADCAST
MUSIC
E. F. Mcdonald Tells Senate
Committee of Objections
to System.

Declaring that of the $50 broad
casting stations in operation
throughout the country, but two
are operating on a fee basis, E. r.
Mcdonald, president of the Nation
al Association of Broadcasters, de.
nounced the practice Of copyright
holders who charge a fee for the
use of copyright music utilized in
radio programs, when he appeared
before the Senate Patent Committee
today.
Mr.. Mcdonald appeared at the
hearing on the bill introduced by
Senator c. c. Din of Washington
to amend the copyright law by
excluding radio broadcasting from
It's application. Senator r. P.
Ernst Of Kentucky, is chairman
of the committee.
Public Service, Claim.
''Of the $40 broadcasting sta
tons in operation in the United
States but two are making charges
for their services" said Mr.. Nc
Donald.
"Broadca sting has come to be
one Of the chief public services
now being rendered. The programs
provided are educational and in
formative and are sent out with
out charge to those receiving them.
1.-THE leading broadcasting sta
tionS, outside of those maintained
by universities. colleges. educational
institutions, religious societies and
churches, are operated by manu-
facturers of radio equipment. The
only profit derived by the latter
comes through the increas ed sales
resulting from their broadcasting
activities. Today we are reaching
from Chicago practically 80 per cent
Of the worlds population"
Explains Objections.
Asked by Senator Ernst to explain
how the copyright fee affected them,
Mr.. Mcdonald said:
1T Is like this, the holders Of
copyrights on music demand a fee
for broadcasting 1t. 1t is our con-
tention that this becomes in most
instances third fee, the first hav-
ing been received on the sale of the
sheet music, the second being COL
lected when the music is rendered
by an orchestra. Why should a
fee be charged for service which
merely picks up the music and
sends II into the homes Of hundreds
of thousands of persons from
whom no charge can be collected in
return.
