STOCKING SALE
IS BANNED

silk stockings have an inherent
lure for women and bargains, and
therefore the fair sex must be pro-
tected, the District Court Of Appeals
held today.
The court ruled that Postmaster
General New had right to ban,
under B fraud order, the Trib0nd
Sales Corporation, Of New York,
sellers Of silk stockings, which Is
alleged to have promised $40 worth
OF goods for 4.
The plan, carried on entirely by
mail. was as follows: The company
sold q contract for ST.. The person
IN turn sold three more contracts for
81. She then sent these three con-
tracts totaling So, with her own 81
% the company to get $40 worth OF
silk stockings.
BY simple multipli cation the court
found that the original SO contract
holders OF the company, on the tenth
progression Of the chain had netted
the company 2.125. 764 prospects. and
on the fifteenth progressio4l, the
company had SIG, s652 potential
customers.
he idea IS 50 paIpably wrong, "
the court held. "as to amount to an
abuse of discretion and has 50 little
basis as to constitute mere arbitrary
exercise Of power. It il fraught with
chance and an insidious appeal and
compels d rejection by the courts. =

1861 BROADCASTING
STATIONS IN WORLD
721 Active in U. s. Alone, Figures
Show-Still Others Be-
ing Erected.

There are 1861 broadcasting sta
tons in the world today, according
to a new list of $40 foreign stations
compiled by Lawrence D. Batson of
the Department of Commerce, and a
report that 721 stations in the United
States are active, made by the radio
section Of the Department of Com
merce.
The foreign stations are divided as
follows: Europe. 1874; Canada and
Mexico, IS; South America, 80; Asia,
Is; Oceania, 28, and Africa, Q. Besides
these stations others are under oon-
struction in these places: Almera,
Spain; Brighton, Victoria, Australia;
Hardin, China Innsbruck, Austria:
Klagenfurt, Austria; Motala, Sweden;
Mukden, China. Naples. Italy, and
Satalice, Czechoslovakia.
Thirty-one more broadcasters are re-
ported as projected abroad, showing
that the growth is steady there as
we'll as in the United States. Copies
of this list may be had by addressing

partment of Commerce.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Passage Of the new radio control law
mas given President Coolidge anothe.
problem in the selection of the mem
GERS Of the commission which the leg
islatlon creates. The appointment of
the commissioners and the administra-
ton OF the law is a huge task, wnlcn
already has provoked some comment
by Paul B. Klugh, executive chairman
of the National Association Of Broad
casters.
While the passage of the radio bill
by the Senate affords moment of re-
lief and celebration for the entire
radio industry and the 10000. 900
American listeners" he said, ''atten-
ton must not be diverted from the
huge task that awaits the adminIstra.
ton of this new law.
Entirely upon the men who are ap-
pointed to the Radio Commission set
up by this law depends the future Of
radio. Not only must these commits
sioners straighten out an industrial
tangle such as has never been seen
before, but they must be prepared to
ever keep pace with the fastest-mov-
ing industry civilization has yet ex
perienced. They must not hamper
this industry, but they must, since
public opinion is the foundation upon
which it rests, guide 1t with firm and
unafraid hands.
"It is to be hoped that the selection
Of these commissioners will be marked
by the same sincere and patient study,
with fixed purpose to protect the pub
lie interest, as has been displayed by
the four able legislators who have
been most prominent in effecting' this
legislation. / refer to Senators Dill
and Watson and Representatives

i. S. COnfiscatiOn

A new broadcaster is on the air.
WFTW, at Hopkinsville, KY, oper
ating on $50 meters, with 1000
watts, as yet unlicensed, accord
ing to the Department of Com
merce. is liable to confiscation and
a fine. It's action shows the atti-
tude of many brOadcasters and
some potential aerial entertain
ers, who seem to believe there are
no radio laws at all.
The old radio law now in effect
provides that licenses are required
by ali transmitting stations, carry
ing a confiscation clause and a fine
of $500 upon convictions. How
ever, WF'IW has filed an applica-
ton and is probably merely antic-
ipating action by few days.
WFIW may be found on the
dials just between WITH at
Clearwater, Fla, on 355 meters.
and KRLD. Dallas, on 357 meters.
1t appears to be a good station
and. after it's inaugural program
Friday night, received messages
from many States. The Solemn
Old Judge aided in the first broad
cast.
