PRAISES u. S. AVIATORS
By the Associated Press.

BY the AseOctate6 Press.
PARIS, July 15.-Col. de Goys,
chief of stan to Laurent Eynac,
undersecretary of the French air
ministry. expressed his enthusiastic
admiration today for the achieve
ments OF the American around the
world flyers. Col. de Goys during the
war commanded several flying units
comprising $50 American crews.N
THE American boys" he said,
have rendered service to the
world in general and to aviation in
particular by their plucky enterprise.
They have not only shown what
pluck can do, but they have DEM
onstrated the practicability OF round
the world flying. 1 now consider their
tour assured Of success.
Il am we'll enough acquainted with
the American character not to have
doubted their success for Ar instant"
continued the colonel. who had just
received a visit from the American
flying party. but one never knows
what obstacles are ahead when
flying over new and difficult territory,
such as they had to do with. They
have blazed a trail which. with such
rectiications as their experience will
suggest, will serve world aviation.
Col de Goys added he was proud to
hail Lieut.. Leigh Wade of the world
party, as the lieutenant was one
of the coloners American wartime

RADIO VANDALS WRECK
NEW NEWARK STATION

Radio Vandals working with a
thorough knowledge of the subject
of their wrath practically wrecked
the nearly completed studio and sta
ton of WBS in Newark last Satur,
day night while the final touches
were being placed on the equipment.
Just as the radio engineers were
adjusting the transmitter to secure
the maximum energy in the aerial
the wreckers cut the fourteen wires
comprising the counterpoise, stuffed
the wires down a chimney and
short circuited the antenna. This
caused the expensive tubes to blow
out and the sudden surge of power
burned out filters, condensers and
grid accessories Altogether dam
age of over $500 was incurred.
Joseph Mullins & Sons, lessees Of
the station, have offered a reward
Of $500 for knowledge leading to
the capture, of the vandals.
At the time Of the disaster, ac-
cording to C. A. Reberger, the engi-
neer in charge, the station was
radiating a total Of seven amperes.
Although the damage was consider
able, the ruined parts are being
replaced, and it is hoped to have
the station opening soon.

RADIO CROWS IN
FAVOR WITH
FARMERS
BY GLADSTONE WILLIAMS.
Cosmopolitan News Service.


While the average city dweller
has been prone to look upon radio
as an urban institution, officials
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture are convinced that the
greatest benefit accompanying the
development o. broadcasting has
been derived by our rural popula-
ton.
Officials are further convinced
that farmers and others living In
isolated communities are fast
realizing the commercial and social
advantages offered by the remark
able development Of radio within
the past few years. Figures are
unavailable on the use OF private re.
ceiying sets throughout the country
put recent survey conducted by
the department has resulted in the
estimate that approximately 146,OO0
farm families are now using re.

the family. this means that nearly
three'quarters Of q million Of our
rural inhabitants have already be-

Quoted the survey, pointed out that

The reason why our agricultural
popuIattonD receives the greatest
oeneflt from the marvellous develop
ment OF radio" said Gilbert, lis
because OF the opportunity provided
lor making the home more attrac-
tive: City dwellers have more ia
ciIties available In this direction"
exhibiting batch of a thousand
letters, Mr.. Gilbert said the De-
partment receives daily testimonials
from farmers throughout the country
who write expressing thej, appre-
citation of the departments effotrs
in assisting in the dissemination of
market news and weather reports
which are broadcast daily.
Tracing the development oe radio
through the activities of his office,
Mr.. Gilbert said:
1T has been a comparatively short
time since January. 1922, but the
growth Of our market news service
since then has been nothing short
Of remarkable. In January, 1922,
only nine stations were broadcasting
our reports to farmers. Today there
are seventy-five. All told, there are
approximately $50 broadcasting sta
tions in the United States. No one
Is able to correctly estimate how
many receiving sets are in use. We
might be able to make some sort
OF check on the number of instru-
ments manufactured. but this would
not tell the story, because Of the
large number of homemade sets.
In our survey of the farmers 1t
was found that almost half of the
instruments used were. homemade.
We have reasons to believe that
radio has proved to be a most i'm
portant factor in making rural life
more pleasant and attractive. In
the end this should provide
greater inducement for formers to
remain on the farm"

TRUST CUT OFF
CHURCH RADIO,
SAYS CLERIC
Or. Whitley Claims That He Is
Forced to Discontinue
Broadcasting.

Declaring that an apparent
radio monopoly had forced him off
the air, the Rev. Earle Whitley,
pastor Of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church, last night an
nounced the discontinuance OF the
broadcast services from his church.
The Vermont Avenue Church's
services have been broadcast for
several months by the William p.
Boyer Company, one of the ''inde-
pendent" broadcasting stations.
The Boyer aerial was blown down
in the storm of three weeks ago
and this fact coupled with the un.
certainty of the future of the indie
Npendent stations, the company
stated, had led them to discontinue
broadcasting. The aerial will not
be replaced for the present.
DIR. Whitley, in announcing the
Giscontinuance of the radio service,
declared that the Boyer Company
is in danger of legal complications
by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company If it continues
to broadcast.
William p. Boyer, head OF the,
Boyer firm, confirmed the state.
ment of DIR. Whitley.
There has been no direct threat
made to us" he said, "but It is
true that the A. T. and T.. claims
the right to all transmitting cir
cults. Anyone who broadcasts with.
out a direct license from the Tele.
phone system Is open to a suit"
He declared he was temporarily
out of the broadcasting business.
The officials of the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church will meet
next week to consider what steps
shall be taken, if any, to arrange
for a resumption Of the broadcast
services.

"A remarkable radio record ia

ports that with a two valve set he

broadcast In California.
According to a statement made by
the Australian Commonwealth
London office today, Wright heard

Listner-In-

All advertisers do not look with
favor on broadcast ads.
We overheard the other day one
OF the Capitals largest and most
successful advertisers giving the
gentle trazz to one Of his competi.
tors Tor his debut in the broadcast
field.
IF you fellows get any worse"
he said, Il expect to throw my set
out the window. And there are
millions of others that feel as / do"
That seemed to us to be one Of
the most encouraging signs we
have run into in many q week.
The radio advertiser, however,
given the privilege of advertising in.
directly is gradually climbing out
OF his limitations and not very
cleverly trying to put across direct
announcements.
In the past two weeks there has
appeared a very concerted effort to
get palpable advertising across
through the local broadcasting sta
tons. Many complaints have come
to us, most Of them from owners of
crystal sets.
But. after all, these crystal set.
tiers together with the one.tubers
form the great majority of listen

In lodging the ads.
One letter suggests that EFF the
merchants will persist in advertis-
ing, why don't they allot q certain
hour every day for the ads and
not put them in with the entertain
ment program? Even the magazines
grant us this courtesy by putting
the ads in the back pages.
The answer, OF course, is easy.
The listening-in audience at that
hour would be so diminished that
the advertising would lose its value.

BrOadcasting Congress-

DAOduCdStAuh SOukGCSh
Senator Howell, of Nebraska. has
asked the Senate to consider the
advisability of broadcasting the ses.
sions of Congress through the
army and navy stations.
Senator Heflin thinks that such
an arrangement at least would
bring about better attendance at
the sessions OF the two legislative
bodies.
The daily roll-call, he thinks,
would be one of the most listened
to features Of the daily meetings
on the Hill.
All of the Congressman, he says,
would want to be in their seats and
answer present that the folks back
home might hear.
So far broadcasting Congress is
only suggestion. Before long some
other Congressman will introduce a
bin asking that 1t be made a fact.
And then the fun will begin.

NINE MOTOR LICENSES
ISSUED EVERY MINUTE
Badger Applications Would Make
Pile So Feet Higher Than State
Capitol Dome; Fees Would
Weigh Eleven Tons
In Gold

A motor license was issued every
six-and-a- half seconds or at the aver
age rate of nine every minut during
the working hours from Janu ry
first to June first, this year, accord
ing to figures compiled by Secretary
of State Fred R. Zimmerman.
There were 116 working days of
seven hours each, as fixed by law, in
the first five months of this year.
During that time the Secretary of
State issued 451,787 licenses. This
was at the rate of 16 minute or
nearly 1000 an hour.
If the applications, which are made
on cards the size of post cards, were
laid fiat, lie on top of another. it
would make a column 339 feet, or
twenty rods high. This is So feet
higher than the state Capitol to the
top of the statue on the dome.
The first class mail that was re-
ceived and sent out during these five
months averages about 200 pounds
day. The license plates sent out
weigh over 220 tons, and the fees re-
ceived in payment, over $500, 100000,
if they had been paid in gold, would
weigh eleven tons.
