service. An arrangement has already
been made with holster for production
of wired radio" sets and combination
wired radio" and space radio" re-
ceivers.
The chief handicap which the devel-
opment faces is the fact that the Amer
lean public is habituated to getting its
radio programs free of direct cost
Wired Radio, Inc, however, will stress
the fact that its three programs will
carry no advertising, direct or indirect.
It also claims that the programs can
be received over the power lines free
from all the variab!es of ordinary radio,
such as static, fading and electrical in
references. Moreover, the appeal will
be- made to prospective subscribers that
it will be cheaper to rent the combina-
ton receiving sets, bringing both
wired" and space" programs, than to
purchase and maintain hlgh-grade
broadcast receiving sets.

Wired RADIO TEST
DUE IN OCTOBER
Cleveland Suburb to Have
First Trial of Program
Via House Lines.
BY MARTIN CODEL.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 28.--Ex-
periments in this city will soon deter
mine the success or failure Of wired
radio" The technical and economic
feasibility of sending radio programs
into homes via the lines from which
house current is drawn will be proved
or diSproved by the initial installation
which Wired Radio, Inc, is making at
power Substation in Lakewood, a
suburb of Cleveland.
Wired Radio, Inc, Is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the North American Co.,
holding company for large power enter
priseS throughout the country. For
some seven years 1t has been gathering
patents. experimenting with and de-
veloping equipment, with a view to Of
fering programs from central studios in
New York to power subscribers willing
to pay monthly rental of So to SIS for
receiving sets which it will install in
the home and service free of extra cost.
Numerous delays have raised many
nlisapprehensions about the serious in
tentions of sponsors of this project, and
the radio broadcasting and set produc-
ing industries have eyed it with mis-
givings from the start.
The latest information from Clinton
w. Hough, president of Wired Radio,
Inc, is that actual experiments with

directed along the carrier wave that
follows power lines will take place here
october /.
Ask for Short Waves.
With these experiments in view, Mr..
Hough has appealed to the Federal Ra-
dio Commission for short waves over
which to relay programs from the New
York studios to Cleveland. There is
considerable doubt, however, as to
whether this mode of transmission from
the central studios will be favored over
land-line connections, such as the
broadcasting chains employ, because it
brings to wired radio" some of the dis
torting Of space RADIO" which it claims
to have overcome.
Generators have already arrived at
the Lakewood substation, and the in
stallation is going forward under the
direction of Bruce w. David, radio en-
gineer for the Cleveland Electric Illu:

CHICAGO, Ill, August 28.--Another
great American institutiop-the bald
headed rows passing; not, as speak
ers at the International Association OF
Cosmeticians and Hair Artists Conven-
ton were careful to note. because of any
declining interest in comely choristers,
but rather because bald heads them
selves are going out of fashion.
The association was told by Miss
Georgia D. George of Los Angeles that
the number of bald-headed men is get
ting smaller each year. She doesn't
believe there will be any at all by 1850.
She pooh-poohed the tradition that
