Announcing Abroad.


Just in case you might tune them
in some day, here is the way they
announce themselves from three OF
the European stations.
London: This is London calling
the British Isles After the first
announcement. the announcer has
no more to say until the close OF
the program when he remarks that
the station will be closed until to-
morrow afternoon when we will be
on the air with addresses and
orchestral music
Paris: Halo. Halo, lei Paris"
Berlin: "Deutsche Betriebsgesell-
schaft fur Drahtlose Telefonishen."
All of the radio agitation that was
being aired around Washington ten
days ago seems to have died down
completely.
1t is expected to simmer again
on March %, the date when the
Radio Corporation and the other
alleged members of the Radio Trust
must answer the charges of the
Federal Trade Commission.
Meanwhile the New York situa.
ton has become greatly cleared.
WIN, it is reported, has agreed
to accept license and broad.
casting station has been granted to
the City of New York.

PLANS
To CONTROL
RADIO
Appropriation Recommended
to Facilitate Communication
With Overseas Dominions.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON,
International News Service.

LONDON. March 21.-Wireless
communication in England will be-
come virtual state monopoly il
the report of the Empire Wireless
Telegraphy Committee is adopted.
There will also be developed, If tho
committees report prevails, a huge
system OF wireless communication
that viii link together the various
parts of the British Empire.
The most important of the com.
mittees recommendations is that
the government should own all
empire wireless stations in Great
Britain for communication with
England's overseas dominions, col
onieS and prOtectorates. For the
accomplishment of this a construc-
ton program involving an expendi-
ture of approximately 100000 is
advocated.
Private enterprise would not be
interfered with. the committee de.
clares. in the development of COM
munication between England and
foreign countries. In fact, the
committee advocates that private
enterprise be given facilities to de-
veloP wireless communication with
Continental Europe, as with the
rest of the world outside the Brit
ish Empire
Let MarcOni Alone.
In this connection it is made
clear that the Government does not
contemplate competition with the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com
pany in existing services between
England and Canada. The com.
mittee recommends that the exist
ing Marconi service be regarded as
a "fait accompli,"
The right of the Government,
however, to take over licenses
granted to private companies in
case Of emergency is asserted. Thus,
should sufficient emergency arise,
the Government could seize and
operate the services Of the Marconi
company or any other private con
Germ.
1t is recommended that the EN-.
pire wireless stations which the
committee proposes be established
be equipped with all modern de.
vices and so constructed as 20 be
capable Of world communication.
If Marconi patents are used. it is
advised, the Government has power
to Use any patented invention, pro.
vided a fair price is fixed by agree.
ment or compulsory arbitration.
The Government would thus. in
its development schemes, be able to
make use of every device for the
improvement of radio communica.
ton that science might evolve. No
private company would have the
right to exclusive use Of its inven.
tons.
Plan Expansion.
For the development Of the EN-.
pire wireless chain the committee
recommends that an additional
100000 be expended on the en-
largement of the Government sta
ton now being built at Rugby.
Erection Of another station Of the
same power is advocated. The
Leafield Station. now in operation.
would be enlarged at cost Of ap.
proximately 100000. The construc.
ton of new station, to deal with
radio-telephony, at a cost Of $1,250,.
900, is suggested.

Whispers from Dixie.

Six o'clock has come to be
magic hour for us and our set At
that hour, it seems, some elfin
king orders his subjects to remove
all the resistance that has been
placed on radio waves during the
morning and afternoon
Time and time again We have
spread the afternoon programs out
before us and selected an assorted
program that We would like to
hear. But then our difficulties be-
gin.
Out in the West is invariably
silence. Down South are only
whispers and many of our eastern
neighbors who fairly shout at us
after 6 o'clock become addicts to
fading and unpleasant meditation
That state of affairs continues
until o'clock. And then after
that hour we begin to travel Din
ner concerts begin to Zoom in the
phones where earlier programs
from the same stations were in
audible. Gradually the air becomes
more and more charged until mid.
night when We reach out and get
most anything We want.

Yesterday our program called for
twelve stations in the air between
and o'clock. All were in the
East but two. OF this number we
were able 10 hear the Arcadia
Cafe Orchestra, at Philadelphia.
ard parts of the WIN and WOR
programs at New York and Newark.
From 4 to 6 o'clock we picked
up WEAF fairly well at times and
few whispers from WHAS, at
Louisville.
WRC saved the afternoon from
becoming total loss. And the
Park road station offered another
interesting programs that it has
been arranging for the afternoons
of late.
The studio appearance of Mary
Eaton and Brooke Johns was all
too short. They just popped into
the air wirh a Hello, here's

brought disaster to many another

FARMER PUTMAN'S PHILOSOPHY

Me and Doc. Lory opened the Col
lege ag'in last week fur another year.
All young folks that wants a real
practical education is welcome. Tu-
ition free, but fees payable in ad-
vance. Our new administration build
ing is done. Prof. Grain, Jack Klaus
and Mr.. Kelly worked all summer to
git it ready fur the fall term. It's
beauty. Looks like the Weld county
courthouse and quite an improve
ment over the style of dollhouse con-
struction used in the chemistry build
ing. It's all fire proof, but that don't
change the old rule which is still:
No Sc permite fumar acqui, (onless
the transoms is kept closed)
The building has two new improve
ments, red concrete floor and fai-
setto echo. The red finish it to DIS
tingujsh it from dairy barn floors.
The echo is in line with modern radio
improvements. 1t trains the ear 30
nick out the sound you want to hear
and leave the rest go. One good thing
about it is that people won't feel ike
maxim so much noise if every little
sound is reproduced. The louder the
echo the quieter the workin' condi-
tions because nobody likes to hear
hisself talk unless you kin under-
stand what you're sayin'. They amt
no fun in startin' lot OF vibrations
that come back at you in a roar, con-
sequence is, people don't holler. l
think Doc. Lory had the echo put IN
to keep the Extension folks from
practisin' their speeches durin' WORK
in, hours. He's purity slick
They put me in corner cell on 'he
second floor where l kin look out on
the oats stubble when l git tired OF
writin', which is most OF the 'iIhe'
and told me to keep my hands omen
the walls as they didn't need no

party to repair Curtis car.
After everything was supposed to
be all fine and dandy, the party start

what it pours, so the vacuum refused

dipper full of gasoline obtained from

to see to refill the vacuum, so Bill
struck match so that Curtis could
see to pour the gasoline. At this in

Curtis to toss what gasoline was left
