The World and All
I'm NEW YORK
By Charles z. Driscoll

Az AVRR
A curious story was told recently in connection
with the suicide of a wealthy New Yorker. The man
was a millionaire, and lived, with his wife, in one Of
the most expensive and elaborate Of the penthouse
apartments. 50 extensively preferred by millionaires
in Manhattan. The penthouse palace perches atop u
big apartment house. The millionaire who lived in
the skyline palace owned the apartment house, and had
the whole building designed and built so that he might
have a perfect home, according to his fancy.
He was found dead In the private gymnasium which
he had had constructed at the top room of his pent-
house. Beside him lay a. peculiar double-barreIled
rifle. which would fold up to the dimensions Of a pistol.
II was part Of the expensive armament that had hung
on one Of the walls Of the big gymnasium.
There was no question that the death was due 20
suicide.
Now for the curious story that was told and re-told.
and formally denied after the fmily Of the dead man
reached the conclusion that the tale was undignified
or something such.
This millionaire had everything he wanted except
peace Of mind. He had suffered for years under the
strange delusion that he was a victim of a terrible
disease. His physicians assured him that he was per-
fectly healthy in body. He was 81 years old at the
time Of his death, and a wonder Of physical perfection.
But he imagined he was doomed TO q fearful death
because Of the awful disease. Fear preyed upon him
and followed him through the palatiaI corridors Of his
perfect home, high above the noise and squaIor az the
city.
The millionaire nourished this unrsasoning fear for
years. He had the elaborate gymnasium constructed IN
the hope that continuous exercise under the open sky.
coupled with sun baths, might heal him Of the disease
that he imagined 70 be gnawing at his vitals. He ex-
ercised 50 much and 50 skilfully, under direction 81
the best trainers. that his strength was maryelously
increased. But he could not sleep for fear of the
frightful monster his Imagination had created. And so
he shot himself.

Oil Problems Being Solved

The problems that have p~erpIexed the oil industry
are mainly he natural offspring Of its unprecedented
growth. Seventy years ago American oil interests con-
sisted OF one well, 50 feet deep, representing an i'm
vestment Of $4,000.
Since that time nearly 100000 wells have been
drilled and the industry is second in value 70 only the
railroads and agriculture. Today its equipment and
facilities are valued at s11 GOO 100000.
II dawned suddenly on the world that oil represent
ID a gIamorous and profitable field Of action that had
hardly been touched. As q consequence the evil OF
excessive competition appeared. Capital was spent in
duplication Of operation and equipment
These conditions, while unfortunate, were not the
fault Of the oil industry or q reflection on its basic
scundness and balance. They were merely the IN
~nvoidable accompaniment of the industry's meteoric
rise from nothing to q thing Of heroic proportions.
Now in the last few years a change has come. The
oil industry. in q determined effort to abolish waste
and unsatisfactory general conditions, has embarked
On 4 new era Of efficiency and cooperation Great
Economics in producing and market methods have been
affected. New and improved scientific processes have
been evolved.
Its problems are not yet completely solved. But
Abe industry has made good progress and success Is In

! rejoice that the federal radio commission has
taken the action necessary to improve radio reception.
After the most intensive study Of all sorts of palia-
tives, the examination Of every possible ~expedient, and
the consideration Of innumerable suggestions, the COM
mission has determined that a major operation is nec-
essary 20 cure the ills Of broadcasting. The whole
set-up Of brosdcasting stations has been readjusted, in
the new ALLEGATION now ready for announcement. IN
accordance with a definite, practical plan.
Radio reception viii be materially bettered for
practically all listeners as soon as the stations re ad-
justed to the new ALLEGATION. This ALLEGATION is work
ed out in accordance with principles recognized as
sound By all radio men.
II is noteworthy that, while all classes Of listeners
benefit under the new ALLEGATION, the farmers will be
the chief gamers. They will not only be able to re-
ceive more stations reliably without interference, but
practically all points on the radio dial will be free
from the curse Of heterodyne whistles. The city
listeners will gain through heterodyne-free reception
Of their various local stations and also reception Of
distant stations free from interference.
In order to bring about these improvements, and
introduce order into the broadcasting chaos, the COM
mission was faced with two alternatives, either the
abolition Of several hundred stations, or thee use cf
such e~xpedients as time division and restriction OF
power on some Of the channels n order to provide OPP
portunity for the continuation in existence Of approx
mately the present number OF stations. The commits
sion having chosen the second course, / consider that
the new ALLEGATION Is the best that can be worked out
The commissions order establishing the basis Of
the new ALLEGATION shows that an exact equalization Of
the broadsasting channels among the zones has been
attained. This is a gratifying realization Of what is
by far the most important feature Of the 1928 Davis
amendment to the Radio act.
In my view. the commissions action has fully iusti-
fled the hope Of radio men for the much-needed i'm
p~rcvement Of brosdessting.
