March eo.-The owner shtn of eo.0Oo,oO0 gold roubIes worth of rolling stock, bought and paid Tor hv the British government for use m +ha Russian railway during the world War, which is still on the kracks of the Chinese Eastern rail- way. Is being claimed both by the soviet and Chinese authorities, says H. Custis Vezey in the Harbin Daily News. There is reason to suspect says the writer, that the existence of this valuable property still out hide the Jurisdiction of the soViets IS unknown not only to the British public, but to the British govern n1ent as well.
 v Under the recent agreement be- tween the Chinese and the soviet governments, the Chinese govern tment regards the railway as its own although temporarily mutually ex- plotted. The soviets, on the other hand, look upon the railway as a enource of present revenue. but one which they would be glad to hand over at a good price to any pur- chaser.
 During the great war, vezey sx- plaincds, the British government onened a credit of 5000, 900, ,000 gold rcubles to the imperial Russian gov ernmcnt to pay for orders placed abroad. Among these were orders for 74j American locomotives which were delivered to the Chinese East ern. to be dispatched to the railUay system of European Russia. The To- Comotiyos were so dispatched except 1s4. which could not be sent owing to interruption of communications in 1920. These 1@4 locomotives have been in operation on the Chin- csc Eastern for the past five years.
 About 5000 American cars like the locomotives, were held back in 1920. A certain number were taken by the Bolshevists, but the registry fe+ 1924 shows that the railway stil has about 2,50O of them. The tota SaluA of this rolling stock is nearly 100000 gold roubles.
 When the imperial Russian gov ernment fell, control of the Chimes Eastern was taken over by the inter allied technical board, comprisinl renresentatives of the great powers The interallled board considered tn chinese Eastern to he 8 Russial railway, and the American locomo lives to be the property of the Rus sian railways, temporarily at the dis posal of the Chinese Eastern.

the number of radio sets on American

more than 200. Mr.. Jardine says

Radio Real Entertainment.

There is now an ever-increaSing
number OF fans who look upon radio
as q means of real entertainment.
They are not particularly interested
in distant reception. What they want
is a receiver that will enable them
to tune in easily stations within a
radius of 100 miles with good volume
and clarity.
The receiver described in this arti-
Gle is particularly adapted for such
work. 1t is Selective, so that there
is no trouble in tuning from one local
station to another. 1t gives sufficient
volume to entertain roomful of peo-
pie. with volume enough to dance
to when the jazz band starts up.
Lest you think that this set is
not sensitive, ! will mention a few
of the stations received on silent night
in Chicago while local stations were
off. Denver, Colo; Fort Worth, Tex.
and New Orleans, La, all about 900
miles away, We're tuned in directly
on a loud speaker without any trouble.
The tuning while sharp, was not
critical. and, while the volume was
not great, it was sufficient to be en-
joyable. Other stations that were
tuned in directly on a loud speaker
included Atlantic City. y. j.: Buffalo,
\. Y: Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio;
Kansas City, Mo: st. Paul, Mimi, and
several other stations.
Costs S45 to Construct.
In spite of the use of the highest
grade of parts obtainable, the total
list price of the parts used in con-
structing this set amounts to only S45.
OF course, this does not include the
accessories, such as tubes, batteries,
loud speaker, etc.

There will always be certain NUM-
