FALL BRINGS PEAK
OF RADIO EXPORTS
Commerce Department Tells
Way to Regulate Steady
Sale All Year.

Approximately 81 per cent OF the
shipments of radio apparatus from the
United States to the rest OF the world
from 1922 to 1926 were made during
the Anal quarters Of each year. ac'
cording to statistics made public To-Day
by the Department Of Commerce.
The next most active quarter was
the third. including the months OF
July, August and September, when
81 rer cent of the total purchases
were shipped.
The lightest quarter proved to be
the first, when only IA per cent or
the total shipments were made.
BY arranging their sales and ship
ments to the several sections OF the
world, however, American manufac-
lures of radio goods might be able
to maintain an even flow Of shipments
throughout the year. according to
suggestions made from a study of the
statistics.
The variations in quarterly ship
ments is greater In the case of Japa n
than in the Southern Hemisphere
Canada or the world as whole, the
low point coming in the first quarter.
In shipments to Canada the low point
is found in the second quarter and
shipments to South America are al
most equally divided between the first
and second quarters.
1T would seem. therefore, accord.
ing to a statement issued by the de-
partment, that a manufacture de.

mYTO ELL NE Monsieur Clarke" said
the celebrated French portrait
painter as I rose to take my
leave, what do you think of your
cOmpatriOt, the wonderful Jacques
'U-ges?"
His pronunciation of the name was
to flash a picture on my brain. Until
that moment I had never thought to
associate t'le identity of the notorious
criminal searchlight, James Hughes,
with that of little schOOlmate of
twenty years before. There are prob
ably hundreds Of James Hughes in
America and the United Kingdom,
particularly Wales.
But now I saw the classroom of
the little Maine school house and the
teacher, a fresh and pretty girl,
writing on the blackboard the name
of a new pupil. My desk mate, a two
headed Urchfn, whispered, "Say,
Freck, who's Jack-wees Hug-us?"
His name was actually James
Hughes, his father the new superin-
tendent of a big local lumber and
building company. But his mother
who had brought him and left him
to our tender mercies, had in pre-
senting him to our teacher called him
Jacques"
There could be no mistake, and as the
distinguished Frenchman went on to tel
me some intimate anecdotes of Jacques
whom he appeared not only to know wei
but to like, I became more than evel
convinced of what I had already carelessly
decided, that Jacques was a fraud ant
] his mind reading achievements all bun

with the face of a seraph and the slynes'

successfully his ingenious tricks of magic
