ION THE JOB"

The part played by the telephone in
aiding the police was strikingly illus
trated the other day in New York
City, says Telephony.
A telephone rang on the desk of
Lieutenant George Thompson, In
charge OF the detective bureau at po-
lice headquarters. The call came from
Arthur S. Clear. of Scarsdale, ~ Y,
who reported the theft of his auto
mobile from in front of his house, but
while he was still on the line Lieuten.
ant Thompson's other telephone rang
The Scarsdale man was asked to hold
the wire while the lieutenant an
swered the other call
This call proved to be from a de-
tective in Jersey City, who reported
that two negroes in an automobile
which was believed to be stolen. were
being held at Jersey City headquar-
ters. The license number of the auto
mobile turned out to be the same as
that which the police lieutenant had
just jotted down as belonging to the
man in Scarsdale. Mr. Clear, still on
the line, was notified that his car, he
had just reported stolen. was at police
headquarters in Jersey City.
This is the first time q stolen auto
mobile has been reported found at the
same time that it was reported lost.

FARM INTEREST IN RADIO

Radio is changing the marketing
methods of entire groups of farmers
according to a survey made recently Dy
the national farm radio council, says
the Washington Post editorially.
The purpose of the survey was 10
determine Just what radio means 70
farmers and also to find out the exact
time in the day or evening when larm-
ers make the greatest use OF their re-
ceiving sets.
Ninety-fve per cent. of the farmers
who own radio sets think Oh tneii
radios as utility as well as an
amusement device. 1t is utlity De-
cause 1t brings to them market re-
.ports from "a to 48 hours earlier than
they are obtainable in any other way
This enables the farmer to market MS
produce TO the greatest advantage
Weather reports often save him nun
dreds, perhaps thousands, OF dollars.
The radio enables the farmer 10
keen in touch with the leaders, to hear
their IdlkS Oh MdllCio "a
portance to the agricultural industry
The maximum farm audience over
the radio is between and $3.50 in the
evening. The size of the noon farm
radio audience is astonishing, reacn-
ing a little more than go per cent OF
the farm radio owners. In some States
this percentage reaches rs or more.
Orchestra or band music takes nrst
place in choice Of amusement, educa'
tional talks and weather reports tax
ing second place. Jazz is pretty gen
orally given last place on the list.
without doubt, the radio on the
farms is a powerful agency for broad
er education, and for closer union be-
tween the farm and the city. One OF
the big problems of the day is how to
keep the young people contented on
the farms. The call is to the city;
and unless modern science and inven-
ton can meet the demand, and satisfy
the cravings of the boys and girls and
men and women on the farms, there
will be more abandoned farms than
ever.
