EUROPE CUTSFEE
FORRAD|OL|CENSE
Listeners-In on Continent
Paying Less as Number of
Subscribers Grows.

The cost of listening to radio pro
grams is gradually being lessened
throughout Europe, according TO ad-
vices to the Department of Commerce.
The reductions in the license fees OF
many governments are SAID to be
caused by the greatly increasing num-
Der of subscribers to the radio SerV-
ices and to the more economlcal
methods employed in conducting the
broadcast programs.
Great Britain is one of the outStand-
ing European countries where the fees
have not been cut, but in the light of
the rapid growth of the radio au-
dience, it is expected that as soon as
the stations now under construction
have been completed substantial re-
ductiun will be made.
Following the recent erection of its
first broadcasting plant, the CZecho-
Slovakian government has announced
a cut in its listening fee to approx
mately 30 cents month. The in
creased interest in broadcast reception
is noted in the fact that in the first
two months OF 1925 the number of sub
sCriberS to- the radio service grew from
10000 To 10000 in the City of Prague,
where the new tranSmitter OKP is To-

The climax of two months lnten- sive campaigning by the Kensington League of Women Voters was reached last evening when the at tendants at one of the most @cit- ing town meetings ever witnessed in this place haggled and fought ana ballotted on the question of provid- ing a district nurse for the com munity. Running up to the last minute of the day allotted the meet ing. the league fought and pleaded and made long speeches to influence the town to pass the measure and when, the final count showed that the bill had passed members of the organization shook the building with cheers.
 The smooth working machine of the league that had expected to rush the question over the meeting with d standing vote received several shaking blows when opposition arose in a storm and demanded a ballot. Accusations to the effect that the opposition was ashamed to vote standing received the answer that the hall was spiked with non-voters and amid skirmish the motion went through to checklist the vote. The motion was doubted audibly by enthusiasts of the league and the moderator, Lester r. Deming, re- of yn1 no 1yFc the motion and the wel-worn box was placed on the table. After three quarters of an hour of balloting the vote was announced as 145 for the motion and 11S against if. Pande monium reigned as the result was announced.
 When the motion was presented by Mrs. Henry Hooker, John Malina of Kensington arose and shouted that the bill was for people with big names and big pocket books and if the women were allowed to run tho town sohethbng drastic would hap, pen. He was shouted down by the women present and gave the floor to Rev. May B. Lord, who dwelt on the cases which she had seen that necessitated a town nurse. At the close Of her speech Malina again arose and yelled some unintelligible words before he was again shouted down by the women present. On third attempt he was denied the floor by the moderator who stated that one try at the floor would be given each person at the meeting but not more than one would be recognized.
 Miss Adele Murray gave a long speech. in favor of the bill stating that she could not possibly see any cause for opposition as the bill was health measure and came before everything else, even education At the close of her address Miss Mar garet Stadt, member of the state board of health, gave a lengthy ad- dress dwelling on the merits of the nurse bill. The meeting grew rest less during the long speech and in- terruptions were many.
 Health Officer Roger M. Griswoh arose at the close of the speech and stated that while he approved of a nurfe. he could supply the nurse for a figure of approximately s1,00o a year who would administer when necessary. He denounced the prac- tice of bringing in outsiders to talk
