disgust that the Havelock Wilson

lowing statement of ]. Rowan general
secretary Of the Electrical Trades
Union published in the Daily Herald:
The unfortunate thing for the sea-
men is that they are not only fight
ing the shipowners, but they are
fighting their own union, who, altho
they did not consult the men about
the reduction, are insisting even at
the revolver point, on its accept
ance.
1t is a most disgraceful state OF
affairs and a blot on the whole
trade union movement.
The procedure seems to be that
the union, representing their own
grades, agree with the shipowners
what their reduction is going to be,
and seem to do it without any con-
sultation with their members.
1t is well to say here that union"

The great body Of radio listeners
in the country today have good prac-
tical reception of three or four diff
ferent programs simultaneously, and
with the gradual advance in power In
different parts of the country the
number of effective alternative pro-
grams should shortly increase up to
eight or ten.
"The intercOnnection Of stations has
made distinct progress in the last six
months. Programs are being stimuli
taneously broadcast fairly regularly
over the northeastern states. There is
evidence that regular intercOnnection
into the Middle West will come in the
near future. I believe that nationally
organized interconnection for i'm
pOrtant national events Is an inevt-
table development and is one Of the
most serious missions Of the radio.
No Monopoly in Broadcasting.
at does not follow, as some have
assumed, that this would displace
| local programs, for such events do not
take place at the same time each day,
nor do we usually expect them Except
political conventions to last more than
an hour. The payment of artists for
broadcasting has already begun, and it
is my present anticipation that it is
only a question of time until stations
will join together in groups and bear
mutually the cost of interconnection
for national programs and events Of
! Importance, thus effecting somewhat
| the same organization which our
newspapers maintain through the
press associations"
At another point Mr.. Hoover says:
"There is no monopoly in radio
broadcasting or any sign Of it. There
are only four or five concerns in the
entire United States which own or op-
! crate more than one station, and of
the total of 563 stations in action, not
more than four belong to any one OF
them"
Commenting on the postponement Of
new legislation by congress at the Sec
retarys request, Mr.. Hoover said:
"The whole art, both from the point
of view of it's expansion, the number
of stations character Of the programs,
purposes of the broadcasters, the
scientific development going on In In
creased use Of power and in improved
instruments and, therefore, better and
wider radius Of reception to the lis
teners, together with the complex So
cial and legal problems involved, Is In
state of complete fiux, and 1t is my
feeling that our ideas as to the char
acter Of legislative regulation should
be clarified within another year.
"In the meantime the fine co-opera-
ton of the industry is preventing any
infraction of public interest and the
free competitive development Of the
art is bringing fine results in public
service"

Growth in Thrift

The building and loan association
movement has expanded greatly in the
last decade. In 1912 there were about
$500 associations in the United States,
and by 1924 this number had increased
to nearly 11,000 Membership in asso-
Citations increased from 100000 to
more than 100000, and total assets
of associations from $1,000, 100000 to
$3,900,000O00.

"The recent experiment Of the de-
partment in attempting to increase
the number of wave lengths by de-
creasing the difference to seven ktlo-
cycles proved unsuccessful with the
present development Of instruments.
"Class A stations 600 watts or less

Glass A stations have not presented so
many difficulties In wave-length as
signment and interference as Glass b
stations, although there are 400 OF
them.
Glass B stations present a far
more serious situation because Of
their wider radius and their regular
performance. There are Al wave
lengths to be divided over a total
of 108 stations now operating or under
construction. That is, there is now an
average of less than one wave length
for each two stations, which means
that they must divide their time Of
operation.
1.-THE Glass B stations are the ones
which furnish most of the regular pro-
grams and from which the public re-
ceives it's most effective service.
Congestion in Large Cities.
zone of the great difficulties in the
distribution of wave lengths arises
; from the tendency of stations to con-
gest in large centers of population.
The worst conditions are at Chicago
and New York. At Chicago five wave
lengths are available for ten operating
Glass B stations and there are sew
eral others in course of construction.
For New York there are six wave
lengths available for eight Glass B
stations and more are under construc-
ton.
1T is practically impossible to in
crease the number Of wave lengths
available to these cities because they
are all in use in other communities
and because it Is absolutely necessary
to maintain a wide kilocycle separa-
tiOn between stations SO close to-
gether. Otherwise they will destroy
each other Such multiplication as has
already occurred in these centers
gives no better service to the public
and If further division in time is
| forced, it will decrease the value and
efficiency of the established sta
tons.

Increasing Number O

\ Causing Difficulties !

Rnzk<- the Department of Com
: q: : : !. !: : !: !: !: !: : :
merce, in a statement is
sued recently, described
some Of the major prob
81 lens confronting radio In
America and reviewed eff
forts Of the department
to solve them.
Mr.. Hoover explained
the departments policy of allowing
stations to increase their power to
possible maximum of 5000 watts so
that radio reception would become
more reliable declaring that this was
of particular Importance to agricul-
tural people.
Much Of his statement was taken UP
with a discussion of the great difficult
ties confronting officials in attempting
TO find room within the bands Of avail
able wave lengths for all the broad
casting stations without causing wide
spread and disastrous interference.
At the outset Mr.. Hoover remarks:
There can be but one point of view
IN the consideration Of radio regula-
tiOn and development. That is to as
sure increasing service to the listener.
The radio Is steadily enriching our
homes. More particularly to our farm
er folks it is bringing more Of those
contacts that the town populations
have alone enjoyed up to this time.
"The road of progress is to stimu-
late the development of the art to
prevent interference with and be-
tween brOadcasting stations through
maintained competition; to secure
greater perfection of reception, In
crease in the number of alternative pro-
grams and better programs
OF the broadcasting situation he
says:
There are today 563 broadcasting
stations either in operation or under
construction. OF these 455 are Glass
A (Of 500watts power or less) and 108
are Glass B (over 500 watts) 1t is
generally believed that Glass A sta
tiOns have a radius of good practical
reception of not more than % to so
miles, while Class B stations, with
their larger and increasing power,
have a much wider radius. By prac-
tical reception I do not include the re-
ception which radio listeners are able
TO secure by playing radio golf but
the effective, serviceable, reliable re-
ceptiOn of programs which must be
the real purpose of radio.
"The recent policy of the depart
ment Of allowing the increase of pow
er toward a possible maximum of
5000 watts will mean that the radius
Of serviceable reception will be great
ly increased and the reception itself
within the present radius will become
very much more reliable. This is of
particular Importance to our agricul-
tursl people, especially in summer and
during the daytime"
Wave Length Distribution.
Discussing wave-length distribution
Mr.. Hoover says:
1.-The most difficult problem in ra-
dio regulation and development is the
distribution of wave length use so as
TO prevent interference between sta
tions. There are in all Sc diff
ferent wave lengths available II we
keep the stations ten kilocycles apart
and stagger the assignment Of wave
lengths geographically SO as to pre-
vent overlap In the area Of effective
reception.

"Pennsyluania Dutch"
IL Language MixturN

During 1883 systematic German
immigration into this country began.
In the fall Of that year party Of
Mennonites, the 'hook-and-eye people"
now living all over the country, came
from the German city of Crefeld and
landed near Philadelphia upon land
owned by William Penn, upon whose
invitation they came, Conrad Berco-
vici relates in the Century Magazine.
Some time later they founded German
town, six miles above Philadelphia.
Shortly afterward, In successive waves
Of almost equal numbers, they came
one after the other and settled in all
parts Of Pennsylvania. At the time Of
the Revolution one-third of the popula-
ton of Pennsylvania was Of German
birth or descent Soon mixing with
the Dutch that lived there. they formed
a virtually new language. more or less
a compilation or corruption of the two,
which is known today as Pennsylvania
Dutch.

DAWES CALLED NUS
SOLINI

Washington. Senator Pat Harri-
son, of Mississippi, calls Vice Presi-
dent Dawes "the American Musso-
lini."
During the summer Dawes has cam
paigned in favor of stopping debate in
the senate. Defenders of the present
rules reply that the people become ae-
quainted with important issues
through full discussion rather than to
have bills rushed through, as in the
house. Dawes argument is turned
against him by reference to recent
speech in New York, in which he said
that the Muscle Shoals bill, that would
turn this water power over to private
interests, was defeated in the senate
because of too much talk.

Outgroving Ones Friends

There is one very sad thing in old
friendships, to every mind which Is
really moving onward. It Is this that
one cannOt help using his early
friends as the seaman uses the log, to
mark his progress. Every now and
then we throw an old schoolmate over
the stern with string of thought tied
TO him, and look-I am afraid with q
kind Of luxurious and sanctimonious
compassion to see the rate at which
the string reels of, while he lies there
bobbing up and down, poor fellow |!
And we are dashing along with the
white foam and bright sparkle at our
bows; the ruffled bosom Of prosperity
and progress, with sprig Of dia-
m0nds stuck in It. But this 10 only

Flyers' Porochufss

The parachutes used by American
army aviators are made Of carefully
chosen silks and have diameter Of
"a feet. The total weight when packed
is about Is pounds. The shroud lines
or cordage are Of extremely fine silk
made by an American manufacturer Of
fishing equipment. This quality is said
not to be available any place else. The
army regulation parachute Is folded
In pack and worn by an aviator as
part of his flying clothes. The pack
forms seat or cushion on which the
pilot sits. When the aviator jumps
he must be careful to clear the plane
before releasing the parachute. Two
or three seconds are allowed for this.
Every army aviator is equipped with
the regulation parachute upon his
flight.

An indictment charging Salvador Mon
talvo Of the Raymondvile district with
murder in connection with the fatal
shooting Of Remigio CARA near that
city on October Is last, was returned
by the grand jury at Raymondville yes
terday.
When the indictment against Mon
talvo was brought in, Emilio Ortega,
who had been previously arrested in
connection with the killing, was releas-
cd. Montalvo was arrested soon after
the shooting, but was released when no
Indictment was returned against him.
Ortega was then arrested. and he was
held until the arrest of Montalvo again.
1t was brought out that Ortega was a
de deputized watchman at the bale where
Cara was killed.
Deputy Sheriff Roy Collins of Cam
eron county has been working on the
case, being aided by other peace Off

county.
Cara died in the Mercy hospital
here a short time after shooting. He
is survived by brother. Felicitos Gar
