Judpinr Radio Programs.

Too often, when judging radio
broadcast programs, especially mu-
sic, amateur critics do not take into
consideration the difference in re-
ception of the various radio sets. It
is too often assumed that everybody
listening in hears the same sounds,
which is by no means the case.
A few grains of dust in a tube
socket, "A loose connection in the
wiring, an unfortunately directed
aerial, or batteries too nearly dis
charged, may turn a fine perform
anee into what sounds like a poor
one.
However, the interest in radio
continues to increase by leaps and
bounds. During 1920, sales of RAJ
do sets and parts totaled $4,000
600, by 1924, they reached $780,
600 900; and it is the opinion of ex-
perts that sales this year will APP
proximate $500,000,000 or more.
IN one Middle Western state
alone, 100 farmers have installed
radio receiving sets.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. W. STRAUS
President OF American Society for Thrift

Lack of care which leads to ac-
cidents is productive of many forms
of waste. Even human lives are
often sacrificed on the altar of
improper precautions.
A man who is affiliated with one
of the nations leading construction
organizations recently made a state
ment that is worthy of more than
passing attention. He stated that
in connection with building opera
tons rs per cent of all accidents are
preventable. He also said that out
of all preventable mishaps in that
field of activity only 20 to % per
cent can be prevented through
mechanical devices. The remaining
rs to so per cent of all preventable
accidents in connection with building
work can be forestalled only by
education.
What is true in building operations
lis true in greater or less degree in all
lines of work.
The construction industry is, ac-
cording to some statistics, responsible
for about 10 per cent of our ac-
cidents 1t is safe to say that the
percentage of preventability does not
differ greatly in different lines of
occupation.
What an enormous field for the
prevention of fatalities and the
elimination of waste lies within the
domain of education!
Safety and thrift are closely allied.
1t is just as advisable to take no
risks physically as it is to take no
risks financially.
Don't take chances with yourself
or with your money.
Recklessness is a fragrant viola
ton of the practices of thrift.

acknowledgements men who
believe they are entitled to adjusted
compensation credit for the time
they served after July /, 1919, are
informed by James F. Burns, state
service officer of The American Lee
gion, Milwaukee, that they can count
only the time they served between
April z, 1917, and July /, 1919.
Mr. Burns has received numerous
complaints from veterans who believe
they are not receiving full service
credit The majority of these com
plants. he declares, are due to the
counting of days in service after
July /, 1919. He calls attention to
the adjusted compensation act
which allows credit for service only
between the two dates. No credit
is allowed after July /, 1919.

Most men who have achieved great
things have kept steadfastly before
them fixed principles by which they
have been guided. 1t is said of the
late Marshall Field that he had
twelve dominant ideas in his life
from which he never swerved.
They were the value of time. the
success Of perseverance. the pleas
ure Of working, the dignity Of sim
plieity, the worth of character. the
power Of kindness. the influence of
example the obligation Of duty, the
wisdom of economy, the virtue Of
patience, the improvement of talent
and the joy of originating.
There is nothing marvellous or su-
perhuman about the success of n
man who adheres to such life
program. lie who has ever before
him such ideals can not fail. though
he stumbes; he will succeed through
he falls short Of such goal Elk.

Uncle bud Says: BUSY men find
time to do things-loafers never.
Sure there was rotten liquor in the
old days but no one made any
excuses for it"
Good roads are expensive but poor
ones cost more.
A useless luxury is something
the other fellow has and which We
cannot afford.
Don't try to blow your own
horn let the newspaper do it for
you at space rates.
The millers notified the house
wives that wheat was up. They
said it with "flours."
The conservative of today is the
radical of yesterday and the reac-
tionary of tomorrow.
America may not be able to whip
the worId-but you can't make
Young America believe she can't.
The main trouble these days is
that people are trying to live a
Rolls-Royce existence on a Ford
income.
Contentment never spells pro-
gress. It's the disconnected fellow
who keeps the car of progressive
ness moving.
If, as the old saying goes, every
day will be Sunday bye and bye,
there won't be enough of us left to
care for the cripples.
If slang and cuss words ever go
out of style, a lot of flappers will
be left with no more vocabulary
than an armless deaf and dumb
man.
When a speaker gets down to
brass tacks NE usually says some
thing worth hearing But the same
thing would be true if he sat on
a steel one
Prosperity is ever just around
the corner. Now if someone will
discover way to keep 'em from
moving the corner everything will
be fine and dandy.
1t is easy enough to be happy
When the heart is joyous and free;
But the man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When stung on the lip by bee
The last word in ignorance has
