Official Figures, lust Made Public
by Census Bureau, Prove
Permanently of Industry.
ADOPTED BY THE PUBLIC
Mounting Sales of High Grade Sets
Are Held to Indicate That Listen
ins-In Has Become Confirmed
American Habit.

Philadelphia.-The substantial basis
on which present-day radio installa-
lions are being made, as well as the
increasing interest in and demand for
radio equipment, has just been re-
vealed by the U. s. Bureau Of Census,
Department of Commerce, in figures
covering the latest census of radio
manufactures.
These figures show decline in the
production of crystal sets and head
phones, but tremendous increase in
the output of multiple-tube receiving
sets and of radio speakers. The
mounting sales of high grade sets is
held to indicate that the public has
definitely adopted radio as a perma-
nent investment and is buying sets
that will give efficient longtime serv-
ice. M 7 &
The governments figures are more
than confirmed by reports from the
industry. For example, A. Atwater
Kent, the largest producer of radio re-
ceiving sets and speakers, planned
months ago, under the most expert
estimates, that his production this
year should be double that Of last
year. Yet even this increase has not
been sufficient to meet the rapidly
increasing demand and it has been
found necessary to step up production
still further to 5000 sets a day, so
that all orders may be filled.
The official figures made public by
the Department of Commerce show
an increase of 215 per cent in the
value of radio equipment produced
last year over two years previously,
the number of tube type receiving
sets having increased 1,O45 per cent
and the number of speakers 31S per
cent.

UB-BASE GAME AGAIN
 WASHED OUT BY RAIN
Fans Are Disappointed As Deuge Prevents Football Spectacle Chart Indicates More Rain For Next Sunday - Manager Daley Hesitates to Book At- fractions For Next Week = Promises Important
 Announcement During Next Few Days For Fans.

For the third time in as many

 of fate 1t is that makes all week
 days fair and all Sundays rainy,
 cannot be explained but 1t works to the great discontinue of the foot
 ball fans of the city who have been anxiously awaiting an opportunity of once again seeing their team in ac- ton.
 Yesterdays attraction was the best of the season so far. The Navy Submarine Base eleven of New Lon-
 don was schedulad ad to appear in this city. The Whaling City team is the strongest in years and had threat ened for the past two weeks to beat the New Britain eleven. but the score stands tie now with the wealth. erman being the only one to have come in ahead
 Looking over the chart for the coming week with regard to the ! weather, we see that rain is predict- ed for tomorrow and Wednesday, fair weather for Thursday and Fri day and rain again for Saturday and Sunday. The predictions have come out right during the past three weeks and judging from this, it ap- pears that no game will be played next Sunday

The man. agemort has dropped considerable money this year and with rain pre- venting the playing of games Sunday after Sunday, it doesn't look as if the team will play again in a hurry. Manager Daley expects 10 have an important announcement to make this week providing things work out rightly. Just what the nature of this will be is question because the manager did not care to make known what he has in mind. He states that If things go rightly, he will have an announcement to make that should please the fans of this city. We have our guess on what | it is
