SELF CONTROL TAUGHT
ONLY BY EXAMPLE

Whenever you see a well-bred
obedient child, you ray be pretty
sure that at least one of those
who have had his training in
charge has been gentle and self
contained. One reason why some
parents do not have more control
over their children is because of
lack of poise shown when attempt
ing to govern them. This, in turn,
is apt to make the children excit-
able as well as hard to govern.
Mothers and fathers should school
themselves in self-control.
Mrs. Lynde and Mrs. Wells lived
IN double house. Mrs. Lynde had
a large family, and there was al
ways something happening. This
Something" was sure to be re-
tailed more or less true to facts to
Mrs. Wells. often in the presence

wanted to help her. I realized that
persons of her temperament are
apt to resent advice, so tried to
be very tactful.
Occasionally, I had opportunity
to call attention to the ridiculous
side of the occurrence and then to
add some comment. The girl next
door, for instance, always chose
the spectacular moment to "faint.n
Bringing this TO Mrs. Wells at
tention one day, I remarked that
had the girl NOT been brought up
without self-control, she would not
faint at sight of dog, and I add

it would be for your children if
they were away from such excit-
ing Influences"

It happened that for the very

children to cradle-roll party. and |
we had to 60 over the vaiduct.
Mrs. Lynde advised her not to go. |
Finally. by dint of much arguing
that if the bridge were not safe |

used, we started. On the viaduct,
when Mrs. Wells was getting ready
to scream-she had opened her

Radio manufacturers probably will

the 1925 census, was 2,292,672.
Official census figures as to total

increased more than 215 per cent
Of the 1928 value, and that there
were manufactured 2,180.622 tube
and 1885 crystal receivers. The
new data show that the manufacture
of tube sets increased by more than
1000 per cent and that crystal sets
dropped almost so per cent from
1928. A gain in loud-speaker produc-
tiOn and a loss in head-phone output
indicate the increase in tube-set pop
ularity.
These figures are confirmed by the
industry itself, which reports con-
tinued increases in business this
year, especially in vacuum-tube sets
and speakers.
One of the largest manufacturers
found that his production, although
double that of last year. was insult
f1cient to keep up with orders. 1t
was necessary to increase production
still further, and he Is now operating
at $500 sets a day, or at the rate
of about a million and half sets
a year.
If the industry in general keeps
up to the present pace, this years
production should be more than
100000 sets. The production Of
crystal sets and head phones prob
ably will be reduced. since the trend
of the purchasers Is very evidently
toward multitude sets equipped for
loudspeaker reproduction.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS.

Four new stations were licensed to
broadcast during the past week by the
Department of Commerce, and four
changes in wave lengths were an
nounced. The four new broadcasters
are in Chicago. and Galesburg, ILL.,;
Auburn. n. Y. and Orlando, Fla. They
bring the total stations to 5Ss. only
three less than the largest number
ever on the air.
Changes made in channels now num-
ber 5S. most Of them having been re-
Quested by old stations. All but two
of the changes were to higher wave
lengths. The jam Is becoming worse
in the channels above 800 meters than
1t was sometime ago on the lower
wave lengths.
The move Of WLWL in New York
to 384.4 meters Is questionable. since
this wave length is already used by
five stations in the States and two in
Winnipeg, Canada. The 384.4-meter
wave was originally assigned to KJR.
at Seattle, and WMBF, Miami, but Is
now also used by WWAE at Plainfleld.
ILL.,. and WLWL, a 7Y0-watter. An
other station using 1t Is WAAW, at
Omaha, a 500-watt transmitter, plan
ming to increase its power. Recep-
ton of any OF these stations will be
difficult everywhere and impossible in
many places.
Another jump in wave length, con-
templated by WHIT of Chicago,
owned by John S. Boyd, will cause
considerable interference it Is feared.
WHIT Is now trying out and has
applied for the use Of the 468.5 meter
channel, the one used by WRC, and
practically the same as that of XII
at Los Angeles, one of the few
Pacific stations picked up reliably in
the East. 1t is a question whether
fans searching for WJBT will be able
to get it and it is certain that in
Washington at least, XII is out now
until WHIT signs off late at night.
Reports from Chicago state that

localities, although 1t Is still early in
the radio season. In New England
they complain that since WBZ and
WBZA began broadcasting simultane-
ously on 1891 meters, they can no
longer get WBZ, and that the trans
mission from WBZA Is poor, due
chiefly to noises on the land line con-
Meeting Boston and Springfield.
In Albany. n. Y. listeners say they
cannot get WEAF and WBZ for some
reason, although they pick up and
hold both WGY and WIZ: KDKA also
comes In fairly we'll. Most stations
are heard poorly in upper New York,
having little volume and clarity.
Practically all letters received recent
ly point out the great interference be-
tween stations. many of them new
ones. or those which have changed
their channels.
A letter from Tulsa. Okla, states
that reception for the fan with an or
dinary receiver Is getting steadily
worse; there Is SO much whistling and
distortion that audible reception is
practically impossible. The situation
between PIT and 400 meters is re-
ported very bad, with SO many sta
tiOns located in that band
Except for considerable station In
reference. reception in Washington
is generally reported as fair, with
little static and good volume from
distant stations. Western stations
and some in Canada and Mexico are
heard, in some instances, through the
local station, but coast stations do
not come in well until late at night.

Exultation flooded her heart. She

dyed her cheeks again. but her eyes
were luminous with this sudden WIS.,
ion of what life held in store for her,
when she raised them to study her
face.
The warm, creamy tint Of her
cheeks-they just escaped being
olive-was deepened by that tide of
color that had swept up out of her
heart, but her wide lips were rather
pale.

Her large, calm brown eyes, lu.

at her steadily, serenity, from under

had suggested that she pluck to an
arched, hair-thin line. If only. her
nose were thin-nostrilled, aristo-
cratic. straight, as it should have
been to match her face and her body!
"I hate you, you squdgy, soft old

with an angry forefinger.
