A Radio Compromise.

The Federal Radio Commission ha-
moved 10 make the best Of situation
that, for time. threatened seriously
to disrupt and possibly cripple radio
broadcastng.
With the radio bill containing the
Davis amendment practically certain to
become Law. the commission has taken
steps to ameliorate some Of the threat
encd inequalities Of power as between
Southern and Northern broadcasting
stations by increasing the power arot-
ment to Southern stations and author
i2ing construction Of a number Of new
ones.
Under the present legislation. which
now awaits tho approval of the Prcsi-
dent, the commission has taken the
logical step TO prevent A breakdown Of
the broadcasting system. for If the
power ratings Of Southern stations were
not boosted the stations in the con-
seSted North and East would be seri-
ously cut in power to come down to the
level of tho Southern zone
The Davis amendment provides that
none OF the Ave zones shall have mere
power than the lowest powered zone. Dy
raising the power in the Southern zone,
which has the lowest aggregate power
rating, thc commission has prepared for
m increase in power of the stations IN
the coneestsd areas OF New York. New
Jersey. Massachusetts, and Illinois and
has at the same time aided the COM
munities Of the South.
The commission has made the best Of
bad situation by the logical method
Of meeting a dificuit condition with
compromise which will aid all.

A different sort OF "mispronuncia-

There Is no person so poorly gifted
