GREAT RADIO BILL
 10 USHER IN YEAR
International Program Is Being
 Prepared .

New York. Dec, 2G P-With tho chimes in the tower of parliament in London helping to ring in Amerl- cas- New Year tho most extensive and elaborate international radio hroadoasting program in history is being planned for the event of the year 1926,
 General James G. Harboard, president oi the radio corporation Of America announced plans today for worldwide hroadcasting which in this country will have it's focal point at the highpowered experimental station Of the corporation at Bound Brook, x. J.
 Oporatc stars in New York, the marine band in Washington and tho symphony orchestra in Rochester, x. r., will be among the features of the program which will be broad cast across the seas. Rebroadcaat for the British Isles and the conti- ncnt by the British Broadcasting company and again rebroadcast in Germany
 Atmospheric conditions permitting a chain of stations throughout the United Statcts will rebroadcast the program for Americans.
 The program is expected to begin with the pealing of the chimes of Big Ben in London which will be picked up at Bound Brook and re- broadcast throughout this country. Preceding the American musical pro- gram, an official American spokca- man will send greetings to the listen ing world. His words will be re- poated by linQuists in French, Ger man, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Swed- ish and Japanese
 The program, according 10 Gen. tral Harboard, is intended as a world wide demonstration of radio communication and radios posshil- tiles in the international field. For the gathering Of technical rata as to reception conditions throughout the world, official fastening posts will be established throughout the United States and in such points as London, Paris Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Homo. lulu and Tokyo.

REPORTS ON SEAL SALE
Thirty Communities May Equal, If Not Exceed. Marks Made Last Year, Tuberculosis Commission Hcnrs

Hartford. Dec. 2G-Returns from 50 of the 70 local agents of the State Tuberculosis commission today indicated that 80 would probably equal or slightly exceed last years Christmas seal sale total, while 70 may fall slightly below. While no unit has greatly increased it's amount over last year, nearly all will near ly or entirely duplicate their 1924 campaign achievement. The largest from Darien. Stratford, Watertown and WethersGeld.
 In the case of Hartford, which has led the state in it's seal sale total for several years, the returns so far secnred seem to indicate considerable falling-olf from those of last year; but for several weeks returns will continue to be received by the local units in their own cit tes and towns.
 i Definite estimates of the state to-
 tai were not given today but the commission called attention to the fact that, throughout the state, cit
 ies and towns have in general con tinued their high standard contribu- tions to tho anti-tuberculosis cam jraign; that an amount close 10 last lyear's total S99053 seems assured.
 Connecticut has always been in
 the first rank in its per capita sales.
 Last year 1t stood third with re- 7.5 and New Jersey with 69 showed
 q higher percentage.

 Esther Dale has a voice of great natural beauty. She combines the facility Of a lighter type of voice with the rich tone of a real dramatic organ. Its charm as 10 intcrpreta- ton is remarkable and 1t is beauti- fully clear as 10 diction. She has voice of remarkable carrying power and satisfying ease Of delivery and an unusually good one for broad casting,
 Commentators on musical affairs arc unanimous in their opinion that Miss Dale offers no bitter pill to her audiences, but gives them real musi- cal worth, sweet through and through. She Is interested, so sle says, in making her hearers fall in love with her songs rather than herself.

Cheats Cupid And Girl
By Ending His
Own Life

MEXIA, Tex, Aug. "a
Tragedy, such as is seldom
found outside Of fiction was un-
folded here recently in the death
of Lucian Thompson, twenty
five, farmer. Thompson, with
his marriage to girl with
whom he had gone from child
hood days, shot and killed him
self. A cryptic note, wealth
is nothing; health is every
thing" told the story. Thomp-
son had been in i'll health and
fear that he would be unable
to properly support his wife
caused him to take his life.
And so, having cheated Cupid
and the girl who loved him, he
was buried from the little
church at the same hour for.
which his marriage ceremony
had been scheduled. And in
the mourning bench, wearing in
stead of bridal gown a veil
of mourning, sat the sweet
heart. A typical o. Henry end
ing.
