HOPE ABANDONED
FOR RADIO BOARD
Opposition of Coolidge to
Plan Kills Prospect of
Congress 0. K.

BY announcing his opposition to
the creation of an Independent COM
mission for the control OF radio,
President Coolidge has killed what
ever hopes Senate leaders had of
lesislating such bureau into
existence at the present session of
Congress. according to supporters Of
the plan.
Even if the Senate overrules the
President and passes either of the
two radio bills that provide for
independent radio commissions, 1t is
believed the House will alter the
White measure which it has already
accepted. and which places radio
control in the hands of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
Emergency Law Proposed.
In view of the deadlock over radio
legislation, il has been suggested
that a possible solution for the
dilemma might lie in emergency
legislation that would provide sum =
cient authority to prevent "ethef
piracy" until Congress reconvenes
for its short session.
Such a measure. il is said. could
be rushed through both houses at
the last minute to prevent the air
chaos that has been predicted by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover fol-
lowing the court denial of authority
in radio matters to the Department
Of Commerce.
Meanwhile. however. an eleventh :
hour attempt to bring back the White
Il ton Spn2f
interstate commerce committee Is
understood to be planned by the
radio leaders of the upper House.
With the Presidents approval of that
measure IL is believed that a compro- :
mise may he effected, resulting IN
the permanent radio legislation be-
fore Summer.
The most recent convert TO the in
dependent radio commission idea is
Senator Dill, but his inclusion of that
feature In his latest measure was
agreed to only when he believed that
such a commission would be the only
one to receive the approval OF the
Senate.
Same as B0rah's Idea.
The commission proposed by Sena-
tor Dill is practically Identical with
that asked by Senator Borah, differ
ing only in its name and the dl-
visions of the United States from
which members of the commission
would be appointed. The Dill bill
calls for radio commission.
whereas the Borah measure would
create national radio commission.
Both Senator'S suggest a membership
of three $10,0o0-a-year men for the
body.
In dividing the country into three
radio zones Senator Din has grouped
the States geographically and accord
ing to population. so that the first
district would include all Of the East
ern and Southeastern States. together
with the District of Columbia, the
Virgin Isla nds and Porto Rico; the
second district would include the mid
die Western and South Central
States. and the third district would
take in Montana. Idaho, Wyoming
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, utah,
Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Can
fornia, Hawaii and Alaska.
Senator Borah would permit the
three radio commissioners to come
from any part of the United states
but would subdivide the radio fields
of endeavor into five districts

How tn Select Your Batteries. Part i.
There is. no doubt about the fact that
the storage battery and trickle charger
combinations are replacing the ola
tvpes of bulky storage batteries ana
large battery chargers as sources or
filament current and that the many
tvpes of battery eliminators, now de-
valoped to a high point of efficiency
are steadily pushing the "B" batteries
into the discard for stationary use IN
homes where electric current IS avail
able.
There are many instances however,
where batteries are the most cohVen-
lent source of current that can be had.
so it is important that the fan should
know something of the qualities of
various types Of batteries which de-
termipe their fitness for any particu-
lar service.
For use in a. home night after night
for several hours at q. time the heavN
drain imposed on a battery makes 1t
necessary to select the type of battery
that will give you the greatest num-
ber of hours Of service per dollar ex-
pended in the first cost of the bat
terieS.
Largest Packages Cost Less.
1t is a we'll known fact that the big
gest packages last the longest and
cost the least in practically every line
of merchandise. You can buy a
5-pound package of sugar at less per
pound than 1-pound package. The
large tube Of shaving cream cotss you
less per ounce than the small tube.
Three cigars cost you less per cigar
if you buy them at once than if you
buy them singly. A large bottle of pat
ent medicine costs you less per fluid
ounce than small bottle.
The Eeason for this economic law is
easy to understand. The manufac-
turing cost for large quantities Is al
ways less per unit than for small
quantities. The containers of the large
units cost only slightly more than
those for the small units. The over
head and selling cost is practically the
same for the big package as It IS for
the small ones. The consumer there

fore gets the benefit of the savings in
cost of container, overhead and selling
cost when he buys the larger package.
This law holds true in buying bat
teries. The largest batteries are the
most economical ones to use because
they are built with much larger cells.
and the effective life of the larger
cells is much greater than the effec-
tive life of smaller cells.
Large Batteries Last Longer.
Ordinarily, therefore, the relative
prices Of batteries of the same make
can be regarded as a measure of
their efficiency from the standpoint of
economy OF operation. The higher the
price the greater the efficiency. The
efficiency does not increase in direct
proportion The battery that costs
twice as much as another one may
be many more times efficient than the
smaller oneA
Take, for instance, an example given
by the manufacturers of the EVeready
batteries. Their most popular models
of "B" batteries are the midget, No.
1863. containing small cells the me-
dunn, No. 764, containing medium cells,
and their large. No 1855, containing
large cells. The medium, No. 764,
costs 27 per cent more than the 1853.
but it will deliver more than twice the
energy of the small one, giving YOU
more than twice the service. The
larger No. 766. costs 81 per cent more,
but gives seven times the energy. or
will last seven times as long. They
figure that it costs four times as
