Keep Aerial From Wires

In erecting an outdoor aerial It is

1t Is dangerous to attach an aerial

preference.
Classes Suggested
"Broadcasting stations should be
divided into definite classes. The
first five requisites OF the high-class
stations should be-priority, equip
ment. service, power. and capital in
vested.
Continued inspections. analyses.
and requirements for the first-class
stations should be maintained.
Failure to keep up with the rapidly
advancing art OF broadcasting
should relegate obsolete stations into
lower classes.
There should be several classes
Of stations. graded on the basis Of
these five points. First-class sta
tons should not be asked to divide
time; second-class stations should
divide time two ways. Lower-class
stations should have the use OF the
air to an even more limited degree. "

A Solution
AS a solution to this situation.
Crosley suggests the recognition Of

to refuse to issue licenses to new

HORSE Meat
trade LARGE

LONDON. Jan. l2.5United Press)
"A huge and profitable export trade
in horse meat for human consump.
ton has been developed here since
the war.
AT present an average of more
than 1000 900 pounds OF horse meat
Is being shipped from London to
France and Belgium every month.
Smaller quantities are sem to Hol-
land and other European countries.
The demand exceeds tho supply.
Every worm out, but undiseased
horse In England Is eyed enviously.
so to speak, by continental butchers.
and, as a result, the French price.
which has averaged about one franc
per pound. is increasing.
The English society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty to Animals is re-
sponslble indirectly, for building up
this new and important business.
Before the war, and several years
thereafter. broken down English
horses were usually sold. alive. to
French and other European buyers.
They wero shipped across the chan
mel and either slaughtered at once
and sold as steak. or worked for a
while longer in France before being
butchered.
The S. p. C. A. protested on two
counts. First, that If the horse was
unit to work longer in England. he
should not be worked anywhere
else. Second. that the French
slaughter houses for horses did not
use sufficiently humane methods.
For these reasons the society forced
a great decrease in the export of
broken-down live horses. There was
nothing left for the dealers to do
except slaughter them in England
and export the This bust
ness has become much larger than
the live horse meat trade ever a
Several special slaughter houses for
horses have been built in London.
They are supervised by representa-
tives of the S. p. C. A. and the
meat is Inspected by government Of
%ticials, to ensure strict compliance
with the French standards.
No cold storage process Is used
with horse meat. The flesh de-
terioratcs very rapidly. So the
least possible timo must intervene
between Strengthening a horse in
LONDON and eating him in Paris.
Each night about 10 O'Clock agencies
in Paris telegraph London the esti-
mated quantity of horse meat Paris
can consume the next day. Between
II at night and three in the morn
ng, the London abbatoirs slaughter
enough horses TO yield tho amount
Of meat Paris is estimated. By day
light that meat is on its way to
France. by late afternoon 1t is in
