You're right, Don Andres. Ra-

has made another man of him.
Worse, a thousand times worse,

and her. You complain of his
lack OF respect to you! Well,
what about Ane? The other morn

he treated me just as he treated
you. Only a few words, but plain
enough! He'll do just as he
pleases; he'll keep up his affair
with that woman until he wearies

grand debauch like his father
The austere Dona Bernardo, de-
thorped by her sons resolute re-

Recommendation of Secre-
tary Hoover to Be Fol-
lowed by Legislator.
BIZ times Special

6H 1taHSS SDecsdt
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-Prob-
ably more than a year win elapse
before radio legislation is enacted
by Congress. This is the belief of
Representative Wallace White Jr.
Of Maine, author of the White radio
bin.
While White does not agree with
Secretary Hooyer's theory that
radio legislation should be deferred
Tor another year or two, he is will
ing to be guided by the formers
views. White has not introduced
the bin suggested by Hoover which
would enact into law the recommen-
cations OF the third national radio
conference because he is convinced
it would have no chance Of passage
during the short session.
When Secretary Hooyer's recon-
mendation that legislation be de-
1erred for another year or two. Rep
resentative White refused to make
any statement regarding the mat
ter. Quite number of people Inn
mediately visioned a split between
the radio representative in Congress
and the Secretary Of Commerce
Views were expressed that Repre-
sentative White was entirely ignor-
amt Of Hoover's change Of attitude
and was very much discouraged to
have bis radio bill thrown down at
ter he had spent the greater portion
OF the past two years working on 1t.
It can be said with authority that
this version of the affair is entirely
wrong. Representative White and
Secretary Hoover have been In close
touch with each other all along in
regard to the radio situation. Rep
resentative White knew of Hoover's
attitude in regard to postponement
Of legislation. For this reason, he
requested the Commerce Secretary
to write him to that effect SO that
the matter could be laid before Con-
greas in an official way.

BIZ 14HeRe Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Eleven
patents on radio inventions were
granted by the United States Patent
ONCE during the past week. A
brief description OF each Of these In
ventions follows:
Balanced Antenna System Q.523.-
745) invented by Abraham Press. OF
Williamsburg, Penna. and assigned
to Westinghouse Electric & Man
ufacturing Co. An object Of this
invention is to overcome the large
amount Of joulean waste In the
ground wire at the bottom Of the
usual antenna constructions"
Electrical Signaling. Q,522, sou in
vented by Louis oChen, of Washing
ton, D. C. The object of the present
invention is to eliminate inter
ference and electro-static disturb
ances in the reception OF radio
signals, and thus improve the clear
ness and reliability of radio COM
munication.
Method of and System for Selec-
tive Energy Transmission. Q,522.-
$500 invented by John Hays Ham
mond Jr.. of Gloucester. Mass. This
invention relates to improvements
in methods OF and systems for the
transmission of energy, and more
particularly to method Of and
system for utilizing the phenomena
of interference of either the wave
frequencies or group freduencies of
electric waves to produce beats or
increased intensity at intervals de-
termined by the relation that the
several frequencies bear to each
other.
Continuous wave-transmission sys-
tom q, So, old, inventor by William
E. Clarity of New York, N. Y, and
assigned to De Forest Radio Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. The
object of the invention is to provide
continuous wave system wherein
the oscillating current is generated
by means OF one or more oscillions
and wherein parasitic oscillations are
suppressed, and particularly such
oscillations which are harmonics Of
the main or fundamental frequency.
Receiving circuit Q,523, 102), in
vented by Walter l.. Belts of Brook
lyn, N. z. and assigned to Western
Electric Company. This invention
relates TO receiving circuits, and has
for an object the reduction of noise
In a receiving circuit, particularly
one IN which ampIifying means are
employed
Signaling system (1,523,111), In
vented by Harold J. Fisher of Jer-
sey City. N. T.. and assigned to the
Western Electric Company. This in
vention relates to signaling system
and more particularly to an arrange
ment in which telegraph signals
transmitted as a plurality of modu-
lations Of a single carrier wave may
be received at distant station sub
free from interference due
to random disturbances such as
static discharges.
High-frequency signaling 1,523,-
1880. invented by Eugene Peterson OF
New York, N. z, and assigned to
Western Electric Company. It is an
object Of this invention to produce
efficient and improved incubation Of
a high-frequency or carrier wave in
accordance with signal or other
control wave.
