Ted was late in getting
home that even. With a Woe

the house and tossed his hat
on a chair. Dropping into
another he moaned.

way seemed like an age.
But Elsie had done a lot of
thinking in that half hour
and was all ready to play
her hunch. She darted out
of the subway at Wall
Street and headed directly
for the brokerage office of
Keene & Webster. Don
Webster was the junior
partner. Good old Don, who
had been Ted's best man
and always knew what to
do in an emergency. A
minute after Elsie had been
announced, she was shaking
hands with Don in his
private office.
''No time for talk, Don, "
she exclaimed, to cut the
greetings short. "What's
Eagle Aircraft doing? Ted
is on another one of his
speculation sprees and he
has everything we own on
Eagle today"
"Good Lord" cried Don.
"Gambling on the rise?
Why, Ted can't afford to
do that. Eagle is standing
still now, but it nigh go
to the sky or down the
toboggan at any moment.
They're depending on a
Government contract for
their very existence. Sit
down, Elsie and let's see if
we can get hold of him.
A call to Ted's office
brought the news that he
had gone out with Gus
toner and might not be
back for hours. They PACED
him at the exchange with
no results. In vain they
tried the offices of a half
dozen other brokers. They
went out to watch the
ticker. An hour passed.
Then the crash came.
Eagle Aircraft slipped off
five points. A telephone call
: came to Don's Office. Eagle
had lost the big contract,
but the news wasn't general
in the street. So good old
Don came to the rescue.
"Elsie, Ted is ruined, /"
he cried. Eagles doomed.
Let me loan you some
money and we'll save your
stake. )"
Without waiting for an
answer, he ran to his phone.
In a moment he began his
order to his clerk at the ex-
change.

his bride Of a year was

Although the enthusiastic
Ted took her in his arms
and kissed her tenderly, din

spoiled for Elsie. They
couldn't afford to gamble
in stocks, and Ted ought to
realize it.
"You can't do it, Ted"
was her final word, after a
battle of tears and pleading
that lasted far into the
night.
At breakfast, a dismal
meal, Ted was glum and
Elsie red-eyed. He kissed
her goodbye perfunctorily.
She accepted it listlessly
and sat down to cry.
At noon Ted telephoned
her. He had made $500 in
an hour, using only 500 Of
the family funds for his
plunge. He had to split
with his tipster, Of course,
but it was a good profit,
wasn't it?
One day there was an
other telephone call from

he talked feverishly fast as
he told her of his latest tip.

Then the commission must render
decisions on disputes, such as the effort
of Station KVOO, Tulsa, Okla, to OBJ

KWKH, Shreveport, La. 1t may also
have before it the matter of clearing
10 or more broadcast channels in order
to provide additional services to stations
and States reduced under the alloca-
ton. A notable example is Iowa.
The commissions chief problem lies
in the short-wave band. There are
many more applications for wave

BIG GROUP TO GAIN
SIX RADIO STATIONS
Cleveland Plant Is Latest Addition
to List for National
Service.

The year 1929 should see at least six
more stations in various sections OF the
country take the air with the maximum
broadcasting power of $4,000 watts, en-
abling them to serve broad expanses OF
territory with good signal strength.
Station WTAM, at Cleveland is the lat
est broadcaster granted permission to
constructta transmitter of this output
for national service.
There are now actually operating in
the country five stations broadcasting
with the top allowable power. The
trend has been toward bigger and bet
channels, despite the opposition of some
members of Congress and the chairman
of the commission, Ira e. Robinson.

The commission granted the applica-
ton of WTAM, operated by WTAM and
