By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
A majority Of the radio broad
casting stations Of the country
are held by spectators, who are
doing themselves, the public and
the industry no good, according
to charges laid before the Depart
ment of Commerce today by A. II.
Grebe, New York manufacturer.
Broadcasting licenses have been
gobbled up, Grebe charged, sim
ply because they were ttscafce, in
demand, and because spectators
figured they were good things to
hang on to until radio solves its
own tangle."
On An Auction Block
Many stations throughout the
country are on the auction block.
but are held for high prices. ac-
cording to Grebe. He said that
for one small station, operated ir-
regularly. 100000 was demanded.
The scramble to obtain broadcast
ing licenses was compared TO pros
pectors stalking out mining claims
in the Klondike gold rush.
Admitting that their value in the
future was problematical the IL
cense holders got them for specu-
Iative purposes. it was stated.
Grebe pointed out that it is now
necessary to operate these stations
at a heavy expense to keep the
licenses operative, under present
regulations permits expiring every
90 days, subject to renewal with con-
tinued use of the station.
The only broadcasting stations
of real benefit to their owners are
those operated by persons closely
identified with the radio industry
Grebe said.
He suggested that before stations
be given license they should be re-
quired to install a recognized wave
meter to maintain a constant kilo-
cycle frequency transmission.
The 10 kilocycle division between
stations was considered ample If
broadcasting devices were tuned &C.
curately. but under present operat
ing conditions this division was held
entirely inadequate.

TO KNOW BARGAINS

ITO many Iromemakers the mid
winter white" sales offer
the best opportunity of the year
to stock up on sheets. pillow
cases, towels, and other house
hold textiles. But all is not good
that's white. Just as in buying
other fabrics there are facts about
fibers and weaves that the home
maker needs to know if she would
get a true bargain, says the bu-
reau of home economics of the
United States partment of Agri-
culture.
If buying yard goods. unravel a
yarn, untwist it. and pull out
small tufts of the fibers Notice
whether they are about the same
or very different length. The
fabric with longest fibers of regu-
lar length will wear best. The
ends of short fibers work loose
and make the fabric fuzzy, as the
sizing put in by the manufacturer
is washed out. The lint rubs off
from such a fuzzy fabric, and it
soils more readily.
Notice whether the yarns are
even and equal in size. Irregular
warns make Jumps that cause the
fabric to wear through quickly
at those points Loose ends on
the surface left from knots in
the yarns are likely to catch dur
ing laundering and make holes in
the fabric. Cloth with these de-
fects is often sold as a second,
and the buyer should not be sur
prised if it shows signs of wear
rather quickly.
TO Judge the firmness of the
weave. pull the fabric on the
straight and on the bias first one
way and then another. Scratch
it with the finger nail. Not
whether the yarns slip out of
place easily. The closer the
weave the more durable the fab
rio, other things being equal. If
the weave is very close, be pre-
pared to have the fabrics shrink
when it is washed
