All Parts OF World.
tBy Science serviee)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Broad-
casts by short wave radio of speeches
from the League of Nations, espe-
cially for the American continent.
Japan, and A'lStralia, will be sent
out from Holland next month. This
announcement was made here today
by the Federal radio commission,
following receipt of a commur1.ca-
ton from the Secretartat OF the
league at Geneva.
Telephone lines viii carry the
words of the speakers from Geneva
to Kootwijk, Holland, where q pow
erful short wave station is operated
by the Dutch postof1ce. 1t has the
call letters POLL, and uses wave
lengths 1874 and 1913 meters.
While the broadcast will be OF an
experimental nature, it is believed
If the reception is at all clear, that
regular broadcasting program will
be worked out international broad
casting is difficult because Of the
different languages of the radio au-
dienceS.
The experiments of the League of
Nations in March will attempt to
reach certain sections of the world
where reception conditions are good.
A particular effort will be made to
reach audiences in North and South
America, Japan, Australia and New
Zealand, with programs given In the
language of each country.
The League of Nations already
has conducted certain experiments
along this line, and reports have
been received from ninety-two lis
teners in five continents These first
experiments were mainly for the
purpose of receiving technical re-
ports from professional radio oper-
ators, but many individuals report
ed that the reception was entirely
clear from their loud speakers.
The broadcast in Marchc will be
the first attempt to reach particular
regions with special programs.

COMFORT FIRST
is SLOGAN FOR
WHIPPET CARS
Designer Shows Genius in
Planning Autos Seen at
1929 Show.

Evident in every line and contour
OF the Superior Whippet fours and
SKIES displayed at the Indianapolis
automobile show is the genius OF
Amos E. Northup, who virtually has
founded new school of applied art
in the design of automobile bodies.
Heretofore Northup has devoted
himself exclusively to styling high
priced automobiles, and his charac-
teristic touch is reflected today
throughout the fine car field.
WHY'S Overland permitted gener-
Gus proportions in the design OF its
newest light cars, adding several
inches to the wheelbase lengths.
The increased wheelbase of 11212
inches for the six and 1887 inches
for the four have been utilized clev-
erly to give these models pleasing
proportions of maSsiveness and
comfort.
Contributing to the appearance OF
size and delicate lines, sweeping
straight back from the radiator, I'M
broken and uninterrupted. The eff
feet is that of low-hung car which
fairly can hurtle through space,
cutting its way with deep, narrow
radiator and slipping off opposing
wind presSures as smoothly as a
skillful boxes slides around the
force of his opponents blows.
Comfort Is First
It Is a fundamental principle in
the Northup way of doing things to
begin with the chassis frame as a
base and build up first with the
element Of comfort in nand. Space
for feet and legs to stretch in, space
Sor passengers to sit in, space for
elbows and shoulders to turn in;
these are primary considerations.
Only after ample room has been
provided for comfort and conven-
fence of the human cargo do the
style and beautifying embellish-
ments start.
Properly to design an automobile,
the creator must be more than an
artist. He must be practical. He
may never forget that mud and
snow and, sleet and rain and cold
and heat are to be met and dealt
with by the products of his draw
ing board.
The Superior Whippets have all
full crowned tenders to protect the
bodies from splatter. Large ventila-
tors admit cooling summer breezeS
through the cowls. Metal visors
protect the drivers eyes when the
sun is low.
Adds to Beauty
The designer has overlooked no
opportunity to weld such practical
features as these into the beauties
and luxuries of his stylish bodies.
BY mounting the spare tire in a
front we'll on all Whippets except
coaches and sedan9, by permitting
rear windows to be lowered in
rurnble-seat closed cars, and by
numerous other attentions to de-
tail, he has succeeded in making
the interests of practical motoring
serve the interests of applied art
Metal has been employed in in
genious ways in the construction
of the bodies. Front and center
body posts on the closed cars are
of metal, to give unobStructed vision
and add strength and lightness. The
backs of sedans and coaches, too,
are of black metal, supplying fac
tors of long life.

Nash Says Statement u. S.
Will Have 100000
Autos Is Absurd.
BY JOHN e. DEEGAN.
United Press staff Correspondent


CLEVELAND, o., Feb pa COM
mon estimate of 100000 automo-
biles in America by 1850, is utterly
fantastic, simply because there
would be no place to drive them,
according to Charles w. Nash, pres
ident of the Nash Motor Car COM
pany.
Nash believes the traffic prob
lem is so great today that even to
think of such a number of cars on
the highways of the country is
stretching the bounds of magma
ton.
Service to motor car owners is the
paramount issue in the automobile
industry, Nash believes.
"One dissatisfied owner" Nash
said. "can do more to damage a
great merchandising structure than
hundreds of satisfied owners can
nerd
Nash doesn't look for any inAnol~
tant changes in autos during the
coming year.
Nash, one of the most active fig
ures in the automobile world today,
began his career, like many other
great financial leaders. on a farm.
He spent the greater part Of his
early life in the semi-rusticity of
an Illinois farm. In 1891, seven
years after his marriage, he went
to Flint, Mich, and obtained work
at the Road Cart Company at 81
day.
There he met w. G. Durant and
Don rose to the Superintendency
of the Durant-Dort Carriage Com
pany, the largest buggy nanufac-
turerS in the country.
In 1910 he became president OF
the Buick Motor Car Company. He
succeeded Durant as president Of
General Motors in 1912.
In 1916 Nash resigned as presi-
dent of both the Buick Motor Com
uany and General Motors for what
he termed IAN auto holiday" Short
ly afterward he formed what is now
the Nash Motor Car Company.

BY TIMES RADIO EDITOR

The new 1929 Zenith, a product
of the Zenith Radio Corporation of
Chicago, is the first to offer auto
matte tuning to the radio fan. With
the new Zenith models, the owner
may select his favorite stations, adj
just the automatic tuning levers to
the desired stations, and thereafter
obtain instant and precise tuning
merely by pressing the lever of the
desired station.
The automatic tuning is housed
behind a specially designed door at
the side of the receiver, the station
first is tuned in by use of the dial,
the automatic tuning lever then is
released by q, screw cap and ad-
juSted, the cap then is frightened,
and the station is tuned in when de-
sired, by pressing the lever down,
working on the same principle as
the cash register.
The new Zenith is very selective
with ample volume for any need.
During a weeks test with this set,
stations were tuned in from coast
to coast, XII, Los Angeles, and
KNX, Hollywood, were received with
the volume of a local station.
The chassis is of rugged construc-
ton, being completely shielded, and
is very sensitive, giving the full scale
of sound reproduction with clarity
and power.
The Zenith Dynamic speaker is a
powerful cone which gives faithful
reproduction within the entire mu-
steal and voice range, seemingly at
any volume. With this great power,
one is able to tune in small stations
with excellent results and over ride
static levels.
The cabinet Is of two-tone walnut

It was the general opinion among
those who saw the rlay, Safety First"

that it was the best high school play
of the year. The audience that filled
the room was swept by constant gales
of laughter over the predicament OF
the unfortunate young husband (Don-

selves into an awful jam through

GETTING READY FOR SALE

A full meeting Of the new water
committee was held Tuesday evening
1 at the high school.
| D. s. Wilkinson, who attended the
| h caring in the water case in Spok-
ane on May 4, gave rather COM
plete account of what happened there.
John McFee gavea report on two re-
! cent conferences with Pacific Power
& Light company officials in Portland
to ascertain the possibilities of secur-
| ing from that company contract for
the sale of the excess power that
might be developed at the power
plant. After discussing, informally,
these two reports, the secretary read
the tentative by laws for corporation
of water right owners to be formed
for the purpose of bidding in the prop
critics of the Black Rock Power & Ir-
rigation company and the Consumers
Ditch company, at the receivership
sale. Upon motion, the secretary was
instructed to forward them, the fol-
lowing day, to the committees attor-
ney, Fred Cunningham of Spokane.
The committee has realized from the
outset that if the project is to be
saved certain procedure will have to
be followed, and what Judge Webster
and MIR. Kiser said at Spokane on May
a would have to be done, is exactly
what,the committee has done so far,
and what it is planning to do in the
future.
The by laws sent to Mr.. Cunningham
will be submitted by him to MIR. Kizer
and after these two have gone over
them and made any changes they deem
advisable, the new draft will be sent
to Attorney H. J. Sniveley of Yakima,
for his consideration.
1t is hoped that the three attorneys
will be able to agree upon some form
of organization that will meet the ap-
proval of the water right owners, prior
to the anticipated meeting here on
May Is.
