RADIO COMPANIES NOT

American I. and I, Denies Desire to Broadcast Only To Those
 Who Pay

New York, Jan 9.-Tha Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph con- paur, through ", E. Hardness, as
 sistant vice president in charge of radio broadcasting today denied reports that the company had per fected and would put in use de- vice making it possible to control the reception of its broadcast pro- grams. It was also denied that the big companies were seeking a method of limiting the broaicasttng to persons who pay.
 The popular opinion that the big conpauies' are trying to dis cover some way by which they can limit the reception of their broad casting to those who will pay them for it, is all wrong" said Mr. Hark- ness, The big broadcastors are of two classes, those who use the radio to advertise and those who hroad- cast to promote the sale Of rcCciV- ing sets and supplies. II is evident, therefore, that no broadCastcr'S in- terest leads to doing anything that win limit the reception of broad casting; but leads instead to ex- tending it in every way possible.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The

tics made public by the American

During that year railway acct
dents accounted for 1922 deaths
and Sc, AGA injuries, a total of 63,-
386 killed and injured.
The total train mileage, freight
end passenger, was 1,191,397, 900

BANGKOK, Sept. 3.-In Siam
fsh-fghting is the most favored of
all native sports.
On the result of two tiny finny
combatants a Siamese sports-lover
will bet not only all his money. but
even his wife and children.
To provide entries for these duels
the Sianese have domesticated the
paradise fish. 1t is small in size
and a native of the Siamese waters.
In addition to its gameness this
fish has many peculiar habits of in
terest to science.
The fish makes nest of tiny
bubbles of air. When the female
is about to spawn the male prepares
a bunch of these floating bubbles,
which are rendered in some degree
permanent by 9lutionous secre-
ton emitted with them from the
mouth of the fish.
To prevent the females from eat
ing her own eggs, the male takes
them in his mouth and elects them
beneath the bubbles, keeping guard
thereafter until the CRY" are
are Matched and big enough to look
out for themselves.

SELECTING NAME
FOR THE BABY

CLEVELAND, c., -
Choosing a name for a new baby
is always a matter of anxious CON
sideration.
But in many lands this anxiety
has been minimized by the laying
down of rules to guide the choice,
says a writer in a science magazine,
For instance, in Egypt the pa
rents take three candles and the
one that burns the brightest and
longest determines the chiid's
name.
The Hindoos allow the mother
to name the baby. Then, when the
baby is 12 days old, if the father
does not like the chosen name, he
selects another.
Then the two names are written
on slips of paper and held over a
lighted lamp. The one that burns
the brighter being the name adopt
ed.
Egyptians place II names in the
Koran. One slip is drawn out, and
the name on it is the name for the
child.
Chinese girls are rot named. The
boys are named by their mothers.
When they reach 20 the father
names then. over again.
