THE LIFE OF A RADIO RECEIVER
Interview With Albert 3. Ayers, Radio Exponent
BY e. J. CRANE

1t is for anything nut radio. Today the
fan has a great many sets from which
to make choice and he has grown
astonishingly particular. He still
wants simplicity, and he wants selec
tivity, volume, and appearance as
well. Radio has come to stay. It has
taken an important place in the home
and Mrs. Radio Fans taste must be
considered. The home furnishings
must harmonic and the unlovely
parts of a receiver must be attractive
ly concealed.
"The fan Of this season no longer
expects to rip up or change his set
within few weeks of acquiring 1t so
his latest demand is stability; spelled
with large letters. He demands posi-
tive assurance that the set he buys
will not fall apart in month or so,
leaving on his hands mass of wires
and nameless parts"
Guaranteed merchandise is what
he is after, so he selects the receiver
that is constructed of parts that will
function as we'll year hence as they
do today. Reliable radio dealers
have reached the point where they no
longer recommend merchandise that
does not measure up to the standard
now obtainable in hgh-class merchan-
disc and although they may offer the
inferior grade for sale, they frankly
acquaint the purchaser of the quality
of the goods and whole heartedly back
the manufacturer who possesses a
conscience.
Radio manufacturers and dealers
have sprung up like dandelions all
over the country bit they are not the
lads who are doing the business to-
day. They made feeble splurge and
are fading out of the picture as fast
as the ink dries on their telephone
numbers. In the radio industry the
survival of the fittest is the rule and
only the organization and merchan-
disc with the best wearing qualities
can last"
Mr.. Ayers smiled. His two phones
were ringing and there was line
waiting outside his door, so with
drew, having found out nothing about
him except that he is making every
effort to help the radio fan secure a
receiver and equipment that will give
him good service all of the time.

OIL EXPERTS IN
PRICE PROBE
Will Ask interior Department
Authorities for Views on
Gasoline Situation

Dissatisfied with the testimony
Of witnesses who appeared yester-
day before the special House sub
committee investigating the rapid
rise in the price Of gasoline in
Washington, Chairman Frederick
n. Zihlman today announced his
decision to summon petroleum OK
perts from the Interior Depart
ment.
Yesterdays witnesses threw no
light on the real reason for the
increase, merely intimating that
rapid increases in the price of
crude oil were responsible. Zihl-
man, however, read into the record
figures which show that the de-
mand for gasoline is AT it's lowest
point now and that there is an
apparent over.production of crude
oil, both of which should cause a
tendency toward reduction rather
than an increase of prices.
He wishes to ask the Interior
Department experts If the increases
are justified. If their testimony
warrants such step, Congressman
Zihlman will ask Congress to au-
thorize thorough investigation Of
the national gasoline situation.
