Making High Power AmenabIe.


No one has right to throttle the
art and demand that conditions be
arranged so that he can receive out
of-town stations through local inter
ference. L would like to point out
also that the use of high power broad
casting stations will not increase In
reference il the plan is properly car
ried out, these stations will be
located away from congested centers
and will not be as troublesome as the
present high powered stations. which
are located right in the hearts of
some great cities.
Concerning Interference from ex-
listing stations with broadcast work,
particularly Navy stations, which |
am more familiar with. ] would like
to point out that the Navy was first
in the field in the radio game and
that we have tremendous vested in
terest which ought to be considered
The use OF radio is Of military neces-
Slty, and for the sake Of the safety
OF our own ships as well as merchant
vessels there is also a necessity in
peace time for radio. Therefore it is
neither reasonable nor possible to
shut down Government or CONNER
cial station offhand simply because
the broadcast listeners complain of it.
Neverthless, as far as the Navy is
concerned, can assure you that we
are making every effort to reduce the
interference caused by our stations.
II the work seems to progress slowly
1t Is because the ordinary broadca ST
listener does not appreciate the tre-
mendous technical difficulties involved
and the very great cost of the con-
version of such a large number OF
stations afoat and ashore to stations

forts are, moreover. hampered by the

EXPERT PREDICTS
future OF RADIO.
Naval Research Director
Sees Sterilization OF Ap-
paratus Coming.

Several OF Uncle Sans radio ex-
perts and administrators have been
persuaded to predict some of the de-
velopments likely to greet US during
the new year, although some OF them
explain that ii is a very uncertain
business to make any predictions con-
cerning radio development. They say
the radio art is so young IN comparl-
son with electrical engineering, OF
which it may be called an offshoot,
that things take place so rapidly as
TO render most predictions little bot
ter than mere speculattons.
Dr. A. Hoyt Taylor, director OF the
Naval Radio Research Laboratory, be-
1ieYes himself reasonably certain or
seeing considerable progress in the
coming year.
In the broadcasting field, more and
more people are becoming interested
broadcast listeners and a greater and
greater percentage of them are OF the
type who will not be so much inter-
ested in picking up freak long dis
tance stuff just for the sake of saying
they have received some very remote
station. as they will be in getting
consistent and high grade programs.
free of interference from both natural
and human sources" he said. In
other words, as in the case OF tele-
become a standard service PROPOSE
tion instead of a novelty.
Fascination in Distance.
Having been an ardent amateur
and distance hound myself for many
years, 1 fully realize the fascination
of that end of the game. but ] find
that L have outgrown that stage, and
when I listen In on my own receiver
that comes through clear. distinct
and steady in volume, so that | am
not obliged to make adjustments TO
the last agony of accuracy, or 10
strain my ears to catch the more
complicated parts of the program
through interference from various
sources. Just as consistent and reli-
a BILE communication Is the keynote
of service in telegraphy and tele-
phony, so will they become the key
note of service ultimately in the
broadcasting field.
Il remember the first time I ever
listened to a transatlantic station.
l was very much pleased with myself
and with my receiver. / have copied
distant stations in New Zealand under
conditions that caused me to take
considerable pride in the achieve
ment, but | believe the average user
of broadcast apparatus is ultimately
going to demand the same standard
OF reliable service that he gets in the
telegraph and telephone. Therefore
| am in favor of high power broad
casting stations. although on account
of the persistency of fading effects
do not think this is going TO mate
rally increase the ranges Of these
stations. 1t will merely give a more
reliable and definite program over
range of, say, 100 miles. The trend
Of broadcast receivers is something
that interests me a good deal. | do
not believe in a cheap receiver All
channels in the ether which are pos
sfble for radio communication will be
needed-most OF them are already
needed.

Detroit.-Henry Ford will purchase
the 400 vessels of the United States
shipping board if the government will
fix what he considers a fair price.
The announcement is reported to have
been made by Mr.. Ford, following a
conference with T. V. O'ConnOr, chair
mar of the shipping board.
O'Connor is quoted as asking Mr..
Ford TO take over 200 ships in his
original suggestion, the article says.
However. when Ford Informed him
that he would buy the ships to scrap
them for junk. Mr.. O'Connor suggest
ed that he buy all 400 as 1t would not
cost much more to construct disman-
Ring apparatus TO handle the AGO
ships than 1t would the lesser number.
Mr.. Ford agreed to this, saying that
he might retain from 10 to 30 of the
ships for use by Ford industries. If
any ships were put in operation. they
would be reconditioned and equipped
as oil burners.

Important to All Women
Readers of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove tc be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be Respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine will do for
them. By inclosing ten cents to DR..

GOVERNMENT RETURNS
100000 TAX ASSESSMENT

Denver.-More than 100000 will
be returned to Mrs. Mary Dean Reed,
widow of Werner u. Reed, oil million
aire, by virtue of a decision of the
United States supreme court, which
held that the government had no right
to impose an inheritance tax on trusts
formed before the law taxing them
was passed. Such an impost, it was
held, is unconstitutional as it is of a
retroactive nature.
Mrs. Reed paid S9Ts.O00 tax on her
husbands estate to the federal gov
eminent in May. 1924. In July. 1924,
she sued for the return of the money
with interest at s per cent, which
brings the total due her to more than
81, 00O. 000.
According to the suit filed originally
by Mrs. Reed. her husband established
in 1902, in Paris. France, a trust fund
for the benefit Of Mrs. Reed and their
children. This fund was added to
from time to time. until it grew TO in
clude more than 100000 of the S14,-
100000 estate.
When Reed died in 1919. the federal
government made an assessment of his
estate, as a result of which an inherit
lance tax Of s9S1 900 was found to be
due from the estate on the trust fund.
In order TO avoid distraint of her prop
erty. Mrs. Reed stated in her suit she
had paid this assessment and filed
action for its return ut the earliest
possible date.
