While regional stations will not be
affected by the order of the Federal
Radio Commission restricting the
simultaneous broadcaSting of identical
chain programs. time division will re-
suit in the curtailment of the network
service of some stations.
The extent to which limitation Of
time on the air will restrict individual
stations is yet to be determined. It
will depend on the number of hours OF
operation and the attitude of the net
work systems toward broadcasterS
whose time is curtailed. Many broad
casters, however, who have been as
signed to regional channels without
time division, regard their situation as
preferable to some of the clear channel
cations hit by the chain restriction
or the time-sharing order.

THE TRICK Of making a hairpin disap-
pear from the bobbed head of some
flapper member of the amateur magician's
audience and finding it in the locks or some
one else Is a bit of conjuring skill that is
sure to amuse and mystify.
The conjurer first shows his spectators
an ordinary hairpin which he holds between
the fingers and thumb of the left hand in
such a way that the prongs project 50 that
they may be grasped by some member of
the audience. When the magician asks his
assistant, called from among those present,
to loosen his hold on the prongs the hair
pin instantly disappears. This vanishing act
is accomplished with a rubber band, which
is fastened to the inside Of the conjurer's
left-hand sleeve by means of a safety pin,
with a loop over the left thumb. The hair
pin must be exhibited carefully so that the
band is not seen by any one in the audience.
Every spectator having satisfied himself
that there is nothing extraordinary about
the hairpin, the magician now proceeds with

then grasps the hairpin a short distance from
