MONTGOMERY, Ala. CF),-Because
watermelons sold for $35 carload in
1925, Alabama is to have one of the
most powerful radio broadcasting sta
tions in the South, atop Red Mountain,
Birmingham.
When Gov. Bibb Graves was stump
ing the State during the gubernatorial
campaign in 1926 he reached small
town in the southern part OF the State
in time to see several carloads of water
melons going to waste because of the
want of bidder. The highest price
offered was $35 a carload, less than The
freight charges and expense Of hauling.
Since that time Gov. Graves concen-
trated on plan whereby farmers could
be kept in contact with the larger mar
kets and know what their products
would bring. The broadcasting station
is the result.
The station formerly operated as
WAPI at Auburn in connection with
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute will
be abandoned and new station, 10
times as powerful, will be erected. In
the face of the most adverse weather
conditions, it is expected, farmers in all

LONDON P.-Television transmits
sion in color has been accomplished
by J. L. Baird. British inventor.
Combining his television equipment
with apparatus similar to that for
color moving pictures, Mr. Baird dem
onstrated his latest development in
light transmission before an audience
of scientists and newspaper men.
The same demonstration witnessed
the sending of a moving object illumi-
mated only by sunlight and marked an
other chapter in the years of patient
work Mr. Baird has devoted to tele-
vision.
The idea of sending radio pictures
in color has been brewing for some
time In the minds of inventors, includ-
ing American scientists. but 1t is claim
ed in England that Mr.. Baird's dem
onstration was the first practical ex-
hibition.

its liquor laws as relating TO other
countries was made unoficially to Pro-

was in Europe attending the Interna-

Doran says that. while the express
sions were entirely unofficial, those
with whom he talked believed that
the League might help in dealing with
smuggling. Doran advocated before
the congress that other nations require
ships sailing with liquor to produce a
landing certificate on their return

Jack Dempsey was >one of a

LOCAL GAS SERVICE

Nogales is now assured of an
up-to-date gas plant which will
be entirely adequate for the
present and future requirements
of the city. The improvement in.
cludes not only the relaying and
grading of gas mains throughout
the city, but besides this an en-
tire change in gas making and
storing equipment. It is esti
mated that the required improve
ments will cost $50, 900.
The new management of the
Southern Arizona Power Com
pany has realized since taking
over the property that Nogales
required and was entitled to re
liable and adequate gas service.
It has also realized that a study
of requirements should be made
before making what might other
wise be an immense expenditure
of money. After some nine
months of careful investigation
conclusions have been reached
as to the best type of apparatus
to be utilized.
The new gas system will be
what is known as q medium
pressure system with an indi
vidual regulator for each ser
vice, thus maintaining correct
and even pressure for each ser.
vice. The regulators have been
purchased and are now ia stock
and the work of installing them
will begin within the next two
weeks. Herald. 80: H
