sUPERPowER BRoADCAsTING

AS it's contribution towards the
solution of the problems Of both a
national and international broadcast
ing service, the Radio Corporation Of
America has erected an experiment
al, powerful broadcasting station at
Bound Brook, N. J. It's aims is to
demonstrate the utility Of superpower
transmission in radio broadcasting,
and to determine to what extent a
system of superpower stations, join
ed by wire or eventually connected by
radio relay, would meet the need of
nationwide service.
Definite conclusions developed from
broadcasting tests of this station
cannot yet be announced, but evidence
produced by $4,000 letters received by
the Radio Corporation from listeners
in indicate that these experimental
demonstrations of superpo-er broad
casting have been extraordinarily
successful.

DISTURBANCES MAY BE OVER
COME BEFORE NEXT TESTS

Results of the recent Information
al Radio Week tests are being tabu-
lated for the information of the
thousands of radio listeners and hun
dreds of broadcasting stations which
participated in the event. Transmits
sion and reception were severely
handicapped through atmospheric in
reference but Powell Crosley, Jr.,
chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, who just returned from confer
ence with those in charge of the work
in New York City, expressed himself
as being pleased with the results. In
statement given out before he left
for a months vacation aboard his
motor-yacht, "Muroma," in Florida,
he said:
1.-THE possibility of another test
next year will be discussed at the
meeting of the organization in charge
of the annual radio week in Atlantic
City on May 10th. The thousands of
listeners who participated in the
tests had the opportunity to study the
difficulties encountered by those in
charge of the tests-atmospheric and
manmade interference, as well as the
"outlaw" and joker broadcasters.
Engineers are already working upon
the elimination of disturbances which
inferred with distant reception.
despite all the hinderances, the
tests were successful from the view

laws.
With this brief introduction let me
discuss some of the factors that con-
stitute a good citizen. There are
many things that enter into such a
discussion, but will confine my
statements to only few of what /
consider the most important points.
A good citizen obeys the laws.
Someone may raise the objection that
there are so many laws that no one
can obey them; that it would burden
person merely to try to keep pace
with the new laws that are put on
the statute books each year. That is
true. But here is safe rule that
anyone may follow. He should do
right as he sees it. There is nothing
complicated about that. And if it is
followed, there is little likelihood of
his going far wrong.
Every person knows that it is
wrong to kill, steal and in other ways
to injure the person or property If
anyone else. All laws are based on

WHAT TT MEANS TO BE A
GOOD CITIZEN
BY Edwin M. Keatley


President, American Constitutional
Association
A person came to Christ one day
and asked him to whom he should
render obedience, to Caesar or to God.
The object was to trap the Messiah.
In answering the question, Christ
asked for coin. When it was hand
ed Him, He asked whose superscrip-
ton was on it. He was told Caesar 5
Christ then replied: "Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars
and to God the things that are Gods.
The Master meant by this state
ment that one has an equal duty to
observe the laws of the land as well
as to obey the laws of God. The
Great Teacher recognized that people
needed laws for their guidance and
protection in society and that it was
the duty of very person to obey those
