ing Room Only"

The Radio Commission has hung out
the Standing room only" sign.
DR.. j. H. Dellinger, chief engineer of
the commission, said today that appl-
cations for radio licenses continue to
DO flood the commission that it had been
decided to give notice that the demand
for channels far exceeds the supply.
He said that some prospective users Of
radio are bound to be disappointed, for
1t is not sufficiently realized that the
number of radio channels is sharply
limited
The new problems facing the COM
mission, he said, arise from the rapid
development in many phases of radio,
transoceanic telegraphy and telephony,
airplane communication, picture trans
mission emergency and special uses OF
every conceivable kind. Most of the
new uses, he said, contemplate the use
OF frequencieS above the usual broad
casting band.
The commission has before it $50 ap-
pltcations for use of frequencies in the
continental band. It will be impos-
sible, DR.. Dellinger said. to grant any

that it's course would not be obstructed

tary Wilbur. Exercising the privilege
accorded cabinet members, the naval
secretary went to the house during
the debate on the proposal to build
Is cruisers and one aircraft carrier
and took a seat in the front row on
the floor. Representative Huddleston,
Democrat, of Alabama, denounced his
presence and was aided in the at
tack by Representative McClintic,
Omaha Democratic member of the
naval committee. Several others, in
Guiding a member of Huddleston's
own party, said the house rules gave
Wilbur a perfect right to be there.
Throughout it all, Wilbur sat in
silence, as the rules prevented him
from making reply.

Persuading Husbands

Don't be ruthless, but be inSStent" advises a
newly married actress, upon the subject of a wifes
being able to get her way with husband who opposes
a career for her.
Men, no doubt, would prefer the ruthless sort.
Being insiStent is of womans most damning
traits. She can drive men to drink or murder by
what is feengly spoken of her gentle nsistence
She is the sort who let go of pet subject
and who insists upon bringing it up over and over
week in and week out. Then she wonders WHY her
husband gets cross with her.
This actress inferS most certainly that il is
within the power of wife to persuade her husband
over to her way of thinking. But why should the
woman always have to be the evasive one? Why
not put all the cards the table and be honest
things? And besides this manipulation will never
work with all husbands. Most of them are quite set
in their ways and gentle insstence only makes them
more angry and determined
The only way in which to confront that situation
OF home versus career is to be ruthless about it
before marriage. If the man insists upon having
wife who will stay at home, then honesty should
compel the woman to make up her mind If she
feels that she can not live up to his expectations
She should not marry him. Above all things both
should be fair and if neither is willing to make
cesSlons then the marriage had best be abandoned
1t is wonderful to watch the splendid dramas the
clever drawing room comedies and the beautiful
movies and observe how deity smart wife is able
to manage her husband The trouble is that the
ordinary husband simply will not behave like dra-
matte hero.
II he has prejudices he generally sticks to them
and no amount of brilliant campaigning can ever
change him.
1t is far wiser to be ruthless before marriage than
to spend life time being gently insstent afterward
And generally the results for the woman are much
more satisfactory.
