IISTENERS-IN' TOTAL
$4,000 IN ENGLAND
Trade Commissioner Reports Ii
censes Jumped From $4,000
Of Year Ago.

Great Britain has about $4,000
licensed "listeners-in" today, COM
pared with $4,000 a year ago, a report
from Trade Commissioner Hugh D.
Butler, at London, states. Broadcast
Ing has been increasing gradually in
the British Isles, and manufacturers
of radio equipment expect an in
creased volume of business this year.
Uncertainty as to the program the
government would adopt interfered
with the rapid development of wire
less in England during tho winter of
i922-23. But when the governments
course finally was determined manu-
1acturers were unable to fill orders
promptly, as they had barely started
on quantity production of the new
apparatus.
Interest Is Revived.
In the fall interest again was re-
vived, particularly after the new de-
cision of the post Office relative to
licensing. 1t was found that large
number of people had not taken out
the standard license nor the expert
rnsnter's license, and for these a new
interim license was made available.
About 225,000 individuals who took
out these licenses were later given
constructors licenses. New construc
fors licenses. under which British or
foreign goods may be used, were is
Eued-75,000 in October, 10000 in No
vember and $4,000 in December. At
the end of September 10000 regular
British Broadcasting Company Ii
censes,- purchased by users of outfits
marked "British-made," had been is
sued, and by the end of the year this
figure had increased to $4,000. OF
these, $4,000 licenses issued the first
OF the year lapsed in December. Re-
newals will indicate whether the
hroadcasting service is building it's
popularity among those people who
were the original enthusiasts.
Crystal Sets Predominant.
BroadcastinG stations are located SO
closely together throughout the popu-
lous districts of England that a large
majority OF the 100000 'listeners-in"
are able to use crystal sets. 1t is
estimated that of the 10000 B.BC.
licenses three out of four are using
crystal sets a good sale of valve"
or tube sets is reported. however.

Too Much Talk of Speed

In fast rail traffic, both with the

the first requisite is the rapidity with
which the engine can stop Motorists
on the other hand, have been giving
their entire attention to speed. with
little thought how quickly stop can
be made.
"Pick up" get away" "dash," are
the most familiar terms to the every
day mOtorist. 1t is time TO put on the
brakes. The national brake inspec-
ton movement, which has the indorse-
ment of leading automobilists, police
officials and government experts, will
accomplish much good IL it does moth
ing more than call the attention of
motorists to the necessity of regular
inspection of their brakes.-John j.

chinery of handling the federal bonus
claims, only 100000 applications out
of a possible 100000 had been re-
ceived up to October /, 1924. OF the
applications received $4,000 had been
examined and about 100000 passed
and certificates for the amounts due
forwarded to the Veterans bureau,
which will make payments or other
wise compensate as the law provides.
General Davis declared in regard to
the apathetic attitude displayed by vet
Grams in filing their applications: 1T
is imperative from the standpoint Of
economy in administration that those
veterans who intend to avail them
selves eventually of the benefits con-
ferred by the Adjusted Compensation
act should make their application

To Repair Fuel Line

When the fuel line suffers a frac-
ture on the road there are a number of
emergency repairs that may be made.
If rubber tubing is available a Sec
ton of this will make an admirable
splice. A cork with hole through
II may be used and in the absence of
one raw potato with hole through
II makes very satisfactory tempo
rary splice. Cloth smeared with soap
or shellac and then reinforced with
splints is very handy.
