Radio Editor:
W. w Massey in your column
Sunday says that he gets crackles in
his set for which he has as yet
received no adequate remedy. His
set is all right.
Suggest to Mr.. Massey that he
carefully test all the connections in
his set; wipe off the excess soldering
fux on his solder joints; see that no
wires cross so as to touch one an
other; disConnect aerial and see II
cracking continues; If so, 1T would
seem his trouble is in his batteries
not likely his "a" but very likely
his "B." If cracking continues look
carefully into his condenser adjust
ment-are plates touching or shaft
loose?
Now, finally, go up on the roof and
lift that lead-in off the roof. If this
fails, take those "B" batteries and
test them. Throw away the imper-
feet, put in new and his trouble is
ended.

still illegal throughout continental
Europe generally. but outlaw listen
ing is being practiced on a wide
scale, Mr.. Rrofos continued. The
freedom with which the govern

he said. indicated a trend of policy
which forecasts acceptance of broad
casting on a systematic plan.
Licensing o. owners of receiving
sets and diversion of part of the
proceeds to the broadcasting COM
panies is an almost universal char
acteristic of the expansion. Ger

for renting receiving sets at low
price. Spain makes it profitable for
the broadca sting companies by allow

Expected interference between
broadcssting stations in the several
countries is said TO have been one of
the reasons for governmental restric-

a combination of groups which has
received the concession for the en-
tire country. 1t is understood that
Spain will follow this procedure.

"England's system centers about
the British Broadca sting Co, which

three of which are operated by the

Norway installed one of the first

Colds That
Develop Into
Pneumonia

Chronic coughs and persistent
colds lead to serious lung trouble.
You can stop them now with Creo-
muIsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomul-
sion is a new medical discovery
with twofold action; it soothes
and heals the inflamed membranes
and kills the germ.
OF all known drugs creosote is
recognized by the medical fra
ternity as the greatest healing
agency for the treatment of
chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung
troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other heal
ing elements which soothe and
heal the inflamed membranes and
stop the irritation and inflamma-
ton, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into
the blood, attacks the seat of the
trouble and destroys the germs
that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of chronic coughs and
chitis and other forms of throat and lung
diseases. and is excellent for building up
the system after colds or the flu. Money
refunded if any cough cold. no matter
of how long standing, is not relieved after
taking according to directions. Ask your
druggist. Creomulsion Co, Atlanta, Ga.
