The average number of shares per purchaser in 1922 was 10, and in 1923 fraction less than z.
 In that one section of the country all most $14,000,000 had been invested by local people in junior securities sold direct by electric light and power com panies. More than 12,500 stockhold- CTS have been brought in while the to- tai of 10000 persons have become in terested in junior securities as stock holders, subscribers or employees during the last seven. years.
 George l.. Myers, president of the Northwestern Electric Light and Power association, who furnishes these signifi- cant figures adds; Progress in na- tional way has been truly most remark able, during the decade from 1914 to 1923 the number of stockholders ob- tained has been increased from 4,O44 for 19,930 shares to 652,900 stockhold- CTS for 5,047 ,407 shares. A national survey disclosed that more than 34 per cent of the sales have been made on the time payment, plan.
 Tt is probably no exaggeration to say that no industry in the nation to- day is more popularly owned. This is practically true when you take into consideration the fact that the banks of the United States have nearly $2,- 900, 0,O0O.O00 invested in the securities of public utilities. and the life insur- ance companies an amount conserva- lively estimated to be in excess of $2,- 00O, 100000. These investments, of course, are inclusive of electric light and power, electric railway, telephone and telegraph, and gas utilities
 "Of the $17,000, 100000 invested in these utilities more than 30 per cent is in the electric light and power in- dustry.
 "It has been said that one family in every seven holds utility holdings of an average of 10 shares"
 Do these facts not throw some light on why socialism is now making so little headway in this wonderful coun- try of ours? 5

Radio Editor:
Monday night I heard station

off at 1890 o'clock. Eastern standard
time, the announcer said it was the
first night on the air. The call let
ters sounded like WAHE, New York.
The wave length was near 326 meters.

You heard station WAIIG, in Rich
mond Hill, Staten Island, y, Y. The
time signals are broadcast between
$3.50 and 10 o'clock by kDKA and 9TH

about the time you heard WAHG.

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN RADIO EXPORTS
In Three Years Manufacturing
Firms Have Grown From
Dozen to 325.

The United States still leads in the
expectation of radio apparatus, and
is likely to continue In this position
despite restrictions In foreign mar
kets and lack OF broadcasting facili-
ties in many countries Annual ex-
ports for 1925 will probably exceed
$5,o0o,000 in value.
Three years ago there were not
more than q dozen manufaCturers Of
radio apparatus in this country. The
only demands were for commercial
telegraph equipment, whereas today
a conservative estimate of the num-
ber engaged in this growing industry
Is placed at 325 firms exporting appa-
ratus for commercial interests, anna
teurs and tho listening public.
An idea OF the immensity Of our
export radio business may be gained
from the fact that during the past
seven months radio exports totaled
$2.123,S32, compared with $1,S94.S23
during the same period last year.
showing an increase of more than
$250,000. Since January the average
monthly value OF radio exports has
been we'll over 100000 against an
average of approximately S270,000
last year. All OF which goes to show
that wireless apparatus shipped out
Of the country annually is 4 $4,000, 900
business.
Exporters from the States show a
steady growth in business, and it is
stated by government statisticians
that our manufacturers can always
compete abroad, on a quality ba isis.
OF course, in countries. where there
are restrictions against foreign ap-
paratus a serious handicap is en-
countered. but these market restric-
tions are being lifted gradually. Aus
tralia has just opened her ports TO
competition, SO has South Africa,
Willie Poland appears to be inclin ed
TO accept American goods. Another
difficulty is the fact that some gov
ernments levy a "listening-in" tax,
which reduces the number OF fans
In South Africa this fee amounts to
about SO a year, and in Australia al
most as much is charged for the

How to Build the Lloyd C. Greene

The actual wiring Of this receiver is
much simpler than most sets of its
type due TO the simplicity OF the wir-
ing Of the tuning elements. A by "a

As with all other receivers, it is a
good plan to wire in the fllanent cir

The positive side Of the filament cir
cult is wired by connecting together,
IN the order named, terminal lG, ter

sockets IS, 90. "a and 81. The ID ter
minal of vario transformer : is then
connected with the wire pust men
