Lillian and NIadgc Compared
 Notes

Lillian rose. and clasping both hands over her heart, made a sweep ing bow to my mother-in-law. It was meant as burlesque, and intended to draw a smile from the saddened elder woman, but l knew that in it ' there was the essence of sincere and reverential salute. Lillian, more than most women, enjoys strategic campaign of any sort, and l know that the plan Dicky's mother had just outlined for the managing of her daughter, Harriet Braithwaite, had appealed strongly to my friends sense of the dramatic.
 And there ARE people who do not believe in reincarnation, Oh, Madame Machiavelli :" she intoned.
 Get along with you," my mother in-law retorted, hut I knew by sev- eral little signs that she was pleased with the fiattery.
 Now, Margaret" Mother Graham turned to me briskly, you see why the sleeping quarters of the children must be arranged with no apparent consideration of Harriet. For the few days they are here I'm going to Have Mary and little Roderick in my room-that extension day-bed is very comfortable--and the two other boys I'm going to put into the sew ing room, which, as you know, ha. door opening into mine. The room is all ready except for the bed, and Jim can move that other extension day-bed from down the hall into it. Then I shall have the children right with me. and. for all Harriet knows. I shall expect to keep them always. If you'll go down and have Jim come up--as soon as he's finished with those chickens. I mean"
 Things to Plan
 I bit back smile. If was unlike my n,other-in-law to consider the convenience of either Jim or Katie when fshe wished any task per formed, but knew that not for worlds would she present to her thing save a smoothly running do- nestle machine. And she meant to take no chance of throwing a mon- key-wrench into the machinery by upsetting temperamental Katies equilibrium.
 Are you sure you'll be all right while I'm gone, Mother" I asked solicitously. for her fine old face looked pitifully wan against the cushion of her high h-backed chair.
 "of course" she said, bit irrit- ably 'I don't want either one of you around. I've got a lot of things to plan out and null over. and I'm very comfortable here by the fire"
 walked reluctantly to the door, and paused hestatingly with my hand on the doorknob. She flashed | an inquiring, impatient glance at me, and then her eyes softened, although l her voice was as irascible as ever.

creating a great deal of interest
among listeners in the western part
of the country may be attributed to
the arrangement of the University of

the radiophone transmission of COL

On the approach of the foot ball

came interested in the possibilities of
broadcasting the big game" The
officers of the Associated Students Of
fered the radio club first considera-

bers of the radio club realized that an
organization with meager finances
would be BILE to give the univer-
Sity its proper place in the field of
radio. Accordingly the radio club has
entered into an agreement with the
officia!S in charge of the Oakland Tri-
bune's station, XIX, which enables
it to Cooperate with the management
in the broa dcastins of campus news
and entertainment.
The programs are prepared by the
University of California Radio Club
from talent obtainable on the campus
and are conducted by the club from
the alumni room of Stephins Union.
From this room the music and speech
is carried by wire telephone directly
to the radio station in Oakland where
1t is converted into radio waves of
500 meters and sent out broadcast
over the whole western part of Amer
ica.

1t has been my experiences that very
few people realize just how import
ant, from a business STANDPOINT, tho
radio industry has become Just be-
cause an industry is comparatively
new Is not a reason for assuming that
1T is unimportant. The radio in
dustry is new, but it has grown so
rapidly in the last two or three
years that it compares very favorably
with many of the important long es-
tablished industries.
On the basis of figures Cor the year
1923 it is probable that the American
people will spend approximately
$3.50, 100000 for radio equipment dur
ing the present year. A conservative
estimate of the business in vacuum
tubes alone is about $50O00,000. At
least five times as much, or $3.50. .000,-
600. will be spent for radio sets and
parts. The sales Of batteries. both
dry cell and storage batteries. will
very likely amount to over $4,000
600. Miscellaneous equipment such as
battery chargers. loud speakers and
specialties may easily account for
$50,000,000 more.
Compared With Other Lines.

and cents with other large industries.

$185, e00, 900 annually. Sales of radio
equipment are running nearly twice

The value of radio business is nearly
twice as great as that of the carpet
and rug business. For every dollar
spent on furniture 33 cents is spent on
radio. For every dollar spent for
boots and shoes % cents is spent for
radio. For every dollar spent for
musical instruments of all kinds, In

value of radio business amounts to

To sum the matter up, radio has
