entity Opposed Him.

AL Smith, swinging into the West in
the hope of capturing the farmer vote,
is preceded by the devastating state
ment of Charles s. Wilson, former
commissioner of agriculture of New
York state, to the effect that New
York farmers have been definitely
against him in each of his five cam.
paigns for the governorship.
Mr.. Wilson, himself large farmer,
has sent out broadcast an analysis of
Smiths past five campaigns, showing
that in each one he was elected by
the vote of New York city, the seat
of Tammany politics.
Outside of New York city, Smith
Jared thus in his five campaigns: In
1918, carried two counties; in 1920,
carried none; in 1922, carried thir-
teen out of fifty-seven; in 1924, car
ried one; in 1926, carried four coun'
ties.
LAS candidate for governor" said
Wilson, Smith would have been de-
feated, outside of New York city, at
each of the elections in which the
city gave him office, and usually he
would have been showed under He
would have failed by net losses rang
ing from $4,000 to 10000. Election
statistics show that he has been
local leader only, and survey of
sentiment in New York state show
that many of his supporters as gov
ernor do not consider him of Presi-
Dental caliber. He has never been
state leader, because he has never
gained the confidence of the state at
large.
The same statistics manifest that
the last two elections of Smith
are far from proving that he has
made any gains in the confidence of
the state at large. On the contrary,
the last two elections prove that he
has lost a considerable. share of the
support he had previously received
in the districts outside of Tammany
control. .--..
New York farmers, knowing Smith
intimately" continued Wilson, have
and l want to warn the westernerS
to whom he is carrying his promises.
that he has consistently failed to al
leviate the farm conditions of his own
state. All of his measures have been
consistently blocked by the legisla-
ture, and the attitude of the legisla-
ture has been upheld by the farmers
in a body.
''They have recognized clearly that
1t would be detrimental, if not suicid-
al, to entrust the great agricultural
interests of the state to an agricul-
tural board appointed by a Tammany
governor. 1t must be remembered that
New York is one of the leading agri-
cultural states of the Union, in spite
Of the financial and industrial activ-
ity which involves so much of its
effort, and the farmers problems in
many cases are parallel to those of
the farmers in the farther west sec
tons. 81, -
Therefore, when they make it plain
that they have no confidence in the
Smith farm relief proposals, they do
so with the sincere hope that they
may save their fellow agriculturists
throughout the country from falling
into a trap and being obliged to wait
four more dreary years to rectify
their error. They are solidly behind
Hoover and his farm relief plans"

Radiovision Growing

At present radiovision is in state
corresponding to the crystal set days
of sound radio in 1891. But the growth
of radievision will be faster than was
the growth of sound radio. Thousands
have learned to use tools and make
their own radio sets. The vogue of
home construction of radio sets has
waned because it became Improbable
and uninteresting with the growth of
the radio industry. Now the latent

mechanical urge of the radio fan is
likely to be liberated by radiovision
and the construction of radiovisors is
likely to become a new home occupa-
ton.
The well-organized radio set manu-
facturers, alert for new things to SELL
are also expected to place de luxe
radiovisors on the market in re-
markably short time this fall.
In the early days of radiovisiOn only
the expert amateurs and set builders
are likely to obtain consistent and sat

novel and really smart Christmas gift
this year. These are the predictions
of those behind the scenes in radio
experimentation.

Recently there gathered in the tel
evision laboratory of the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
company a group of radio leaders,
among them representatives of the
Radio Corporation of America, the
National Broadcasting company, the
General Electric company and the
Westinghouse company, who saw mo-
ton pictures which, broadcasted from
station nearby and transmitted on
radio waves, were picked up on re-
ceiver in the laboratory and repro
duced before their eyes. 1t was the
worlds first demonstration of radio
movies and possibly the most astound-
ing of the many advances in the sci
ence of radio announced during the
past year.
While radio movies are still in the
laboratory stage, Westinghouse Off
Gals, under whose auspices the DEM
Onstration was made, declare that the
event heralds the day when the radio
listener will sit at home and have that
most popular form of entertainment,
motion pictures, projected by his indi-
vidual radio receiving set.
The development of radio movies is
a triumph of scientific engineering.
During the last summer, the idea came
to the mind of DR.. Frank Conrad, in
charge of this branch of his company's
activities and the fact that in barely
two months he brought the device to
the laboratory stage in the degree of
perfection witnessed at the recent DEM
onstration, is said to have set a rec
ord. Radio movies are a step beyond
previous developments in television
and required the invention of a num-
Der of appliances in addition to
great deal of scientific calculation,
synchronism of various high-speed
mechanisms, and accurate control of
light and radio waves.
Although the sending of moving pic
lures by radio, as may well be mag
ined, required many complicated end
delicate pieces of apparatus, the prin-
ciples of the art as explained by West
inghouse engineers, are not beyond
ordinary comprehension. Photography
In its simplest form consists of the re-
producing of spots of light and shad-
ow in the same arrangement as they
appear in the subject photographed.
The screening of motion picture,
Of course, requires that roll of film
be operated at a speed which sends
sixteen pictures second before a
projecting beam of light. Because of
the structure of the human eye, if a
series of pictures follow each other at
the rate of sixteen or more per second,
the human eye sees it as a single NOV
ing picture.
All this the broadcasting of radio
movies requires, with the addition
that the spots of light must be trans
formed into frequencies, some of
which are in the audible range, trans
ferred to a radio wave and broadcast
as electrical energy. In receiving the
pictures, the process is reversed. the
electrical energy is picked up, and the
frequencies returned to lights and
shadows, which when viewed presents
the radio movie.
In the first step of the process a
pencil of light traverses each picture,

that most of the radiovision broad
casts are now on wave lengths shorter
than the usual music and speech
broadcasts. Their pioneering, however,
will make the day of radiovision in
the ordinary parlor come sooner

some way be useful to the absent
Stanley. Blu, there came time when
he felt that merely from the stand

realized that WATERWAYS business
foOlhardiness had become something
worse. He discovered that securities

been hypothecated by Waterman as
collateral for certain speculative ven-

Provisions which must be included In
the general plan of cooperative
apartment project before it will be
certified to the public as meeting the
standards established by the co-opera-

Association of Real Estate Boards are
outlined in a statement adopted by the
division through action OF Its executive
committee.
The requirements, listing the safe
guards for the purchaser OF a co-opera7

perience of the membership OF the
division to be essential, become the
official minima of the consultation
bureau recently put into operation by
the division.
The statement of essentials for a
sound cooperative building project is
expected to become, in effect, COM
mon law for the organization OF
projects that are to be financed through
the tenant-ownership plan, r. Bates
Warren of this city, chairman OF the
division, said today.
The statement, in part, says:
"The architecture and construction
in approved projects must be adequate
in view of the accommodations intended
to be afforded.
"The estimated budgets in projects
certified by the consultation bureau
must be adequate in the opinion of the
committee for the initial three years OF
operation without assessments or add1-
tions of any sort so far as can be as
certained at the time of certiflcation.
1.-THE mortgage financing shall be so
arranged that the amortization and
interest charges for each year during
the annual amount set forth in the
budget of the first three years.
"The powers of the board of directors
or operation committee to make ex
penditures beyond the regularly ap-
proved budget shall be limited to Is
per cent of the actual operation budget
(not including interest or amortiZa-
tion) unless approved by three-fourthS
of the stockholders.
"If apartments in the project are
sold previous to construction or before
the developer is able to deliver the
building free of liens, all moneys paid
in advance of occupancy shall be placed
in the hands OF an eScrowee to be dis
pensed by such escrowee at the COM
pletion of the building under form of
escrow agreement dppIOVeu ny tlle COA-
sultation bureau.
"The distribution Of stock in all ap-
proved projects must be equitable, and
represent fair prorating of the amor
tization, maintenance, and operation
expense.
1.-THE legal forms employed must take
the proper cognizance of the purchasers
rights and comply in every detail with
the statutes of the State in which the
development is located.
"The organization and financial plan
shall include proper provision for the
carrying out of all statements made in
the brochures, proSpectuSes, announce
ments and advertising Such literature
must state clearly to the purchaser the
interest he is acquiring, and his re-
Sponsibility in connection with addi-

USE OF SHORT LENGTH LUMBER
IS CALLED ECONOMICAL PLAN

savings In the cost of the small home
through employment of short-length
lumber are more generally recognized,
every agency from logger to consumer
should do its part in making this in
formation known. While each stands
to profit thereby, utilization of short
lengths is as much public obligation
as it is business expedient.
Short-length lumber is of great use
in the small house for general repair
work and in home carpentry. Millions
of feet of lumber are utilized every
year for these purposes, and whenever
long lengths are used where short
lengths would serve just as we'll the
result is dollar waste
The construction subcommittee of the
national committee on wood utilization
of the Department of Commerce urges
architects, quantity surveyors, building
contractors, real estate subdividers,
building and loan associations and lum-
ber retailers, as well as home builders,
to give attention to this matter of us
