NEW YORK, June 5.-A billion dol
lar year That Is what the radio in
dustry is looking forward to in 1929.
Retail sales so far this year have gone
forward at such pace that all records
are sure to be eclipsed. This conclu-
sion is supported strongly by leaders Of
the Radio Manufacturers Association
now In session at Chicago. Herbert H.
Frost, president of the association, pre-
diets that total sales volume of $780,
100000 Is virtually certain, with a dis
tinct possibility that the mark may ex-
coed one billion.
Replacement Factor.
The manufacturers say requirements
is the main factor in the present sales
100000 receiving sets now in operation
are of the modern alternating current
electrical type. The advantages of the
new sets, thousands of which now are
on display at the Chicago meeting, are
leading to heavy requirements of old
equipment, and this is factor fully
as important as new buying, il not
more so.
The one chief danger which the in
dustry has to fear, according to many
discerning dealers, is that the buying
public will become imbued with the
idea that the industry has some new
and startling developments up its
sleeve" Some prospective buyers arc
holding of waiting for these improve
ments and developments just as many
automobile purchasers hold off until
they have seen the models at New
York, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and
San Francisco automobile shows.
The radio industry so far this year,
however, is offering little that is revo-
lutionary, although distinct improve
ment in the design and appearance

DISTRICT CLAIMS
BOARD APPOINTED
First Move Taken to Admin
lister Act OF Last Session
of Congress.

The Districts first move to administer
the act passed at the last session OF
Congress, comforting power on the Dis
trict Commissioners to settle claims
against the District in sums not exceed
ing $4,000, was made today when Cor
poration Counsel william w. Bride zap
pointed board to consider claims COM
ing under the law. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Francis H. Stephens is
chairman of the board, the other menu
bers being Assistant Corporation Coun-
sells William H. Wahly and Robert E.
Lynch.
This board will write to all claimants
coming under the law for full descrip-
ton of their claims. accompanied by all
documents necessary to establish them,
and will then pass on the validity of the
claims. If the board believes the claim
is good, 1t will report to Corporation
Counsel Bride, who In turn will report
TO the Commissioners, who have the
final word in settlement Of the claim.
An enormous task faces the board at
the outset Of its career Mr.. Bride es-
timated that there are about 1900
claims coming under the law which are
pending about 80 per cent of these are
claims for return of assessments levied
under the Borland law. which assessed
one-half OF the cost of the work of
paving streets against adjacent prop
erty owners.
Recently the Court Of Appeals set
one Of the assessments aside, and a
great many of the claims against the
District are believed to come within the
same category as the case decided by
the court The validity of each claim
must stand on its own basis, however,
as In many cases Borland law assess
ments are legal. Some idea of the task
before the claims board may be cleaned
from the fact that 1t is not possible to
send circular letter to the claimants,
but an individual letter must be pro-
vided for each, as the facts in each
case, as understood by the Districts
legal department, are made part of the
letter asking for fun information from
the claimant.

HopkinsvilIe, Ky, Aug. IT CA |P)-When forty three-year- old man marries the thirteen |year-old daughter of a man nine Iyears younger than himself and takes her to Detroit to live with some of his nine children, and the girl-bride doesn't like mar Tried life and her father sells two Ipairs of mules
 Such happenings as these plus ;5, few other more or less dramat- ic and complicating elements cause county officials in usual l ly quiet Kentucky county to scratch their heads and wonder whether, after all, it was worth lWhile to spend all that money running for office
 Dad Gave Mules
 It all started when Ed Green,
 y-three, wooed Louise Gibbs thirteen, and they eloped to
 Trigg County, where they were
 married. The county clerk de- lmanded and received a paper lpurporting to give consent of lthe girls father, Henry Gibbs.
 Gibbs went over to Trigg Coun- ty and started prosecution |against Green on charges of forcing the consent paper, but
 the couple seemed happy to- Igether, and both parties admit Green gave his father-i law
 four mules to forget and forgive. }The couple went to Detroit.
 The bride said she did not get
 the pretty clothes promised her land, moreover, didn't like the
 idea of being stepmother to |nine children. So she ran away Ito her father.
 1 Wants Bride or Mules
 He was minus one bride and
 four mules. He wants one or the other, but the bride stood on her irights and the father-in-IaW had sold the mules. Green had Gibbs put in jail on charge of con- iverting the proceeds of the sale to his own use but still he would irather have the bride than the mules.
