words. not to be so intent upon the glorious but
very distant future that does not see the small

~ People will differ in their judgment on these two
highways to success. yet it will be found that most
Cf the proponents of the first road are supporting
their conception because of fundamental approval
of a high ideal Those who support the second con-

that idea into consideration is wasteful from a
psychological point Of view, inasmuch as it tends to
introduce obstacles that actually do not exist.

Now for Some Radio Relief

Radio enthusiasts the country over are pleased
beyond measure at the news that the new federal
board of radio control, appointed recently by Pres-
dent Coolidge will begin to function Immediately,
despite lack Of confirmation of two Of the members
by the senate and total lack of funds. Some way
will be found for the committee to function we are
told and the organization will get right to work on
two of the tmost pressing problems in the broad
casting field, overlapping and heterodyning.
Of course due to the absence of the chairman OF
I the board, Admiral Billiard, who is in China, only
preparatory work be accomplished at present
hut he is expected to return within few weeks
and meanwhile the department Of commerce Will
lend enough clerks and scientists to get the work
J well under way
: Data on the situation is fortunately available.
ALTHOUGH the department of commerce was deprived
of control of radio nevertheless it has never gotten
out of touch with the situation and the new radio
commission will find the essential facts in ready
/, form for it's consideration.
Programs being broadcast by most stations have
become progressively better until it is a real pleas
ure to spend an evening with radio receiving set
as far as the entertainment dispensed by the IN
dividua stations is concerned But otherwise it is
agony, for the ether is one grand conglomeration
of opera and jazz and propaganda and advertising
all broadcast on conflicting wave lengths and pro
ducing the most unearthly whistles in the receiving
set
Listening under these conditions has become ;
bore. The stations which have jumped their wave!
and increased their power regardless OF any syn
chronzed transmission plan have nearly ruined TN
radio broadcasting art. The country now looks T.
the new control board to bring order out OF chao
and thus make radio enjoyable again.

A Uniform Arson Law

!: The Fire Marshals Association of North America
has found active ally in the National Board Of
Fire Underwriters in it's campaign for the enact

effort, calling for the support of the general public

business.
In most of the states the existing arson statutes

which takes into account only the element of malice,

idea of burning for profit burning to defraud'

HE IS RIGHT EXCEPT-

Fish Commissioner O'Malley is right in not conforming to the re- quests of the Various communities to extend fishing periods (Ed. Note-Except the area owned, op- erated and controlled by the Pack ing Combine in Bristol Bay).
 His is a delicate position and to conform to the wishes of every com munity that asks to have the sea- son extended for it's sole benefit (*Except Bristol Bay*) would be to make a joke of his position. GA joke already made by Hoover's reported amazing increase but at which few resident Alaskan fisher men laugh.*) It would seem that the fishing regulations as en- forced work hardship oil certain communities, but to ease up here and there as requested would be to render useless the laws and in the end work injury to those the laws are provided to protect C Heretofore the Bureau has under stood that the laws were provided to protect the traps and all pro- hibitions have been made against resident seine fishermen. We there fore understand the Stroller to mean the Act of June 6 1924 was for the protection of the trap sys- tenn.
