The first official list of short-wave
broadcasting stations of the United

radio division of the Department of
Commerce.
The 35 relay broadcast stations. as

amateurs who listen in on the short
channels and some of the broadcast
listeners who have built or purchase
Short-Wavo receiving sets. These
broadcast tranSmitters 9re we'll dis
tributed among 13 States. and some
of them are operated as auxiliary to
we'll known broadcast stations.
Many of them should be heard gen
orally throughout the country, but
due to the vagaries of the short waves
and the skip-distance effect of some of
them, probably only few will be audi

tunate enough to pick up these relay
stations will. however, probably find
that the reception is far clearer and
that the programs come in better than
on the regular but badly crowded

The Trouble-Shooter Says:

1 take a lot of pride in my work
and l think I've had experience
enough to be able to tackle many
radio problems successfully, but
must draw the line at remedying
broadcast shortcomings. Time and
time again I am called out to ''fix'
things that are happening at the
studio or at the broadcasting station.
OF course l am stumped when 1t
comes to tackling something that
isn't within my control. I've been
trying to impress upon my custo-
merS that there is a lot of trouble at
the output end Of the ether, but they
seem to prefer to overlook it.
Some of the hook-ups recently have
been extremely poor. Often, too, one
station on chain will be sending
out some strange noises along with
the program, and if radioists would
just note how much better reception
is from another station on the same
chain they would appreciate the folly
of trying to examine the set for
trouble that isn't in it.
In trying to keep on their proper
channels some of the broadcasters
are neglecting other important points.
was surprised recently to find how
a local station wavered in volume.
Looking into the matter I learned
that the trouble was due to the con-
troll men, who We're paying too much
attention to wave length and not
enough to volume. Portions of the
program faded out just as though the
"A battery of the set was run down.
If a person went to a physician
to have his hearing examined SIM
ply because he could not catch all the
words Of a song rendered by a stage
star who had bad cold, he would be
regarded as eccentric, to say the least.
Yet there are thousands of radio
owners consulting trouble-shooters
about things that are happening at
the other end of the line.
Don't worry about the broadcasters $
failings. Try another station.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, August 10 R).-Wheat
was subjected to wild and erratic fiuc-

local trade. The heavy tone Of the
market in Winnipeg handicapped the
efforts of bull leaders here. Covering
by September shorts gave strength
to the corn market Oats were affect.
ed by the action Of wheat.
Gossip was decidedly mixed today.
Some advices from the Canadian
of frost damage in the immediate
future had passed with prediction of
more favorable weather. One report
stated that while wheat in the south
ern part of Alberta was about three
weeks late ideal weather conditions
from now to September 1 would result
in large crop. but If killing frost
should occur before that date the crop
will be ruined.
Another expert telegraphing from
Wainwright, Alberta, said frost injury
begins to show 80 miles west of
Saskatoon. At Biggar, wheat shows
80 per cent damage by freezing. Some
frosted fields are expected to show
damage when matured to show 20 per
cent total injury. The same source
points out that in the southern sec.
ton the damage is less severe, while
in some parts large per cent of
wheat is taking color with no frost
damage apparent.

TREASURY FINANCE
PROCESS OUTLINED
Acting Secretary Announces
Sale of Securities Sept. IS
to Meet Maturities.

While no decision has been made as to
the details of the offering, to be made,
Acting Secretary of the Treasury Ogden
l.. Mills today announced the Treasury
would put an issue on the market for
September Is, financing to carry the
Government over the end of the
quarter.
The September financing is expected
to be part of a heavy program the
latter part of this year, as there are
falling due not only the regular quar-
terly maturities but the second Liberty
loan. which has been called for No
vember IS.
S38O,OO0, 900 i'm Maturities.
Maturities on September Is will be
$3.50, 600, 600. Income tax payments
and regular revenue Of the Govern
nSent will not be sufficient to meet the
maturities and regular expenses of the
Government for the end of the quarter,
but how large an issue the Treasury
will put out or what it's terms will be
Mr.. Mills emphatically said had not
been determined.
The Treasury considers the program
Of retiring the Second Libertys,
already under way, as Every satisfac-
tory Mr.. Mills said. Since March,
the Treasury has retired about 81 ,900,-
0O0, 900 of the Second Liberty Loan Of
and Az per cent bonds.
Issues Now at Premium.
The two issues which the Govern
ment offered in exchange for the
Libertys are now at substantial
premium on the market which is Of
course pleasing to the Treasury.
BY September j. the amount of
Second Libertys still out are esti-
mated to be 1900, 100000. This issue
has been called in it's entirety for

STOCKS SHOW FIRM
. IN LESS TRADING.
Spirit. of Caution Prevails,
Spectators Awaiting Signs
of Secondary Reaction.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
acial Dtsnatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WALL STREET. NEW YORK. Au'
gust 1S-The spirit of caution dom
mated trading on the Stock Exchange
TODAY. Prices were generally firm
but business fell off and there was a
disposition to await events before re-
newlng the general advance. The
professional clement was casting
about for signs of the secondary re-
action that is supposed to come when
the so-called support stock" bought
on big break comes on the market
for resale At the same time short
sellers have been too roughly treated
in recent sessions to take any unncc-
essary chances. The result was a
market which looked more or less
"tired."
Steel Shares Show Up Well.
OF the standard stocks, the steel
shares gave the best account of them
selves, particularly the independents.
Bethlehem Steel was the outstanding
feature, at new high for the year
and at the best since 1923. still fore.
casting dividend resumption. Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube came next. strong
err than in weeks. United States Steel
moved uncertainty early in the day. al
though ii did sell fractionally higher
than at any time since Judge Garys
death None Of these movements had
any discernible connection with the
tr" 'e developments.
The character of the trading was
revealed by the way in which the new
groups were brought to the front. On
Wednesday it had been the merchan-
tising shares that were used to di.
vert attention when the rest Of the
list was faltering. Today it was the
amusement stocks, Paramount-Fa-
nous, Fox Film, Loew and others,
that were taken up. The theory was
that these stocks had been thoroughly
liquidated and were entitled to rally.
Department store and mail order is.
sues maintained their gains and in
some cases Increased them, Sears Roe
buck, for instance. making a new
high for the present shares.
Dealings in the rails were fully as
restrained as in the industrials.
Nevertheless, there was no repetition
of the weakness Of Wednesday. Read
son was up fractionally and Balti-
more & Ohio was strong. Gossip con-
cerned itself more with merger pos
sibilities than with earnings.
Market Quiet i'm Afternoon.
Inc market continued quiet anu
Irregular in the afternoon. The re-
newal rate for money, which was 31a
per cent down II of a point and at
the low of the year, failed to stimulate
buying. The motors were heavy. On
the other hand the oils came into
favor again and nearly everyone in
the group moved up at least fraction
ally. United States Steel came down
somewhat.
The selling gained in effectiveness
as the last hour approached. Such
typical stocks as Allied Chemical,
Baldwin, American Smelling and Re-
filming and Thinker all worked lower.
Yellow Truck, which had been under
pressure almost from the start, lost
more ground. The most striking re-
versal was that in Hudson, which was
down some two points on the day
after enjoying an earlier advance,
Chrysler went off with the rest.
