FAITH A REAL

days.
We ars forever wanting things
demonstrated ana proved. Faith,
we seem to think, cannot be seen
with the naked eye and there
fore isn't much good.
1t was Tolstoi, the renowned
Russian novelist and philosopher.
who stated that faith u an essen
tial Of every individuals life.
In fact. he classified faith 10
among the forces by which men
live.
Tolstoi referred to religious
faith, Of course. And he was
right.
Religious faith may havs little
thought behind It. It may be
purely emotional. an enthusiasm
half spiritual. half vital.
But when this condition Of
mind. which may b referred to
a. q faith state" - combined
with definite religious belief. with
intelligence I'm other words, with
something besides . purely emo.
tional experience then We have
adherence to . creed, certain
form Of religion. to which creed
the believer becomes sincerely
loyal.
This. in short. = the psychol.
Ogy behind religious faith.
And such faith Il extremely

It not only gives him philos.

makes him feel happy and ad-
justsd and hopsfal because ho
feels attnned TO the universe and

Religious faith Il not the only
valuable kind. Any kind Of faith
IL worth while.
Faith In q beloved one, for ex.
ample, is beautiful and helpful. II

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland
The "GalIumplnE Crouch"

Every noW ana then Z man
goes gaIIumping around the
house. and 1t would take q master
mind to discover what q the mat.
ter with him.
"Gallumping" Is an outward ex-
preston of an inward turmoil,
composed OF resentment, self-pity.
and q common or garden crouch.
It Is q strictly masculine afflic-
tion.
A woman may have hysteria,
caprices, temperament. nerves, or
a martyr-complex But to accuse
her Of 'gallumping" would be as
insulting as to accuse her OF
having q bass voice or . mus
tache. It is so unfeminine!
Lots OF men have never had
fallen arches, adenoids, or hay
fever. but q man who has never
had 4 crouch, gone into the
silence, and gallumped off to the
attic or the garage and begun
pounding things, just isn't human.
WhistlIng, to keep from swear
ing. - another way OF working
off the gallumping Crouch. Glaring
at the newspaper, shutting the
door, and trying to stare the food
on his plate out OF countenance
are stiIl other concrete manifesto
tons Of this abstract emotional
maelgtrom.
There are as many varieties or
masculine crouch as there are
Of roses, and some Of them are
as highly Burbanked that dag
nosis Il impossible. But the gal-
Jumping crouch has q woman
positively stumped! She never
knows how or why It started, nor
when or where 1t will end. Il
she could only X-ray q mans
mind, and discover whether It pro.
ceeds from an aching heart, an
aching conscience, an aching tooth
or an aching vanity! But. half
the time. the man doesn't know
himself
Most women are familiar with
the common or garden Crouch,
from which the most equable and
sweet-tempered husband suffers
occasionally. When his. dinner
has disagreed with him. or the
rain has spoiled his golf. or some
thing has gone wrong at the office.
And nearly every woman has
been up against the strategic
crouch, with which q man tries
to forestall q woman's wrath, by
attacking first, when he knows
that he has deserved 1t, and sus.
poets that he Is lin for it." Be-
fore she can get her argument
set ana open her lips he has
l'gassed', her with some trivial
accusation, put her on the defen-
sive and robbed her Of her am
munition. Crafty work!
And al women have suffered
from the martyrgrouch that
maddening mantle Of Injured Vir-
tue in which q man wraps himself
for days after q domestic bout
in which he has been worsted.
When one OF these has lasted for
forty-eight hours, almost any wife

new PLAN Of
SALES BOOSTS
SUMMER RADIO
Home Demonstration Idea
Helpful to Majestic
Business.

With the thought that summer
radio will be a flat tire definitely
banished as far as 1929 is concerned.
radio dealers and distributors have
awakened to the fact that upon their
efforts alone will rest the success
of their business as far as radio
sales are concerned.
Backed by the psychology Of ire
mendous production and distribu-
ton as afforded by the Grigsby-
Grunow Company. manufacturers of
the Majestic receivers, they have
resorted to many plans and features
designed to inoculate the public
with the idea of better summer
radio
All the plans show clearly that
radio has ceased to DC q novelty and
has become staple.
A recently and very effective sales
method known as the home dem
onstration plan has been put out
by the Majestic factory 1t is bene-
fetal to the dealer and more than
fair to the consumer.
Helps Dealer, Consumer
The plan entails the arrangement
of a large sheet of wall board out
lined in squares. AT the extreme
left are mounted cards designating
the statesmen engaged in operating
the plan.
Directly opposite the salesmen'S
cards are hung cards showing where
Majestic receivers have been placed
and the status Of the set from day
to day.
Sets Kept Busy
The idea is to keep q certain num-
! Der of sets demonstrating at al
times: then should the set be re-
turned or the deal closed the card is
taken from its regular hook anc
placed on the extreme right which
is reserved for prospect cards which
are inactive.
Keeping a definite number o
statesmen busy at all times on thi
plan should be the means of bring

ALASKA WANTS RADIO
Plea M de for News Transmitted by

From the interior of Alaska comes
a plea for news by radio.
The request is contained in let

Inez f. Moore, who is in the Alaska
division of the bureau Of education
of the United States department Of

A large measure of the success
of Majestic radio is due to Duane
Wanamaker. advertising manager,
who has worked out one of the
greatest advertising campaigns
known to the radio industry. 1t
has brought the Grigsby- GrunQW
Company. from an almost I'M
known concern to leadership in
the short space of ten months.

BATTLE BOARD HELPS
Cane Fiber and Corn Stalks Used to
Aid Radio.

Ala haulO.
Cane fiber. corn stalk fiber and
other cellulose substances are being
satisfactorily adapted in the radio
industry in the construction Of
battle boards to absorb eXtraneous
sounds issuing from loud speakers.
It is said that in dynamic and
magnetic cone speakers sound
waves issuing from the front and
rear OF the cone mix in such a way
as to cancel each other in the low
tones.
Without battle board the speak
err acts like the box Of a violin, the
walls of which provide resonance.
In a console speaker this is unde-
sirable. because it tends to over
emphasize some tones.

In other words, the broadcasters
have announced that the biggest
and most popular programs that
have been heard weekly during the
cold drear days VIII be enhanced
rather than deleted this year and
will be found in their accustomed
places with clock like regularity. In
short. there will be no summer
slump in radio broadcasting.
Sales figures of the big broadcast
ing systems prove definitely that hot
weather programs this year are
Jound to keep radio interest at q
high pitch and that radio enthuSl-
aStS will listen in as much II not
more than they do now.
In past years, there has been a
definite sag in the summer months

radio dealers and others interested
i'm the industry. the artists and the
directors decided they had worked
hard enough during the winter and
that the summer could take care OF
itself. This year things have
changed They have been changing
for the last few years, in fact.
The National BrOadCasting Com
panv definitely has Strengthened out
its broadcasting curve so that its
popular programs will be broadcast
for twelve months of the year. The
Columbia system is fast following
suit and with WFBN. indianapolis

Of the papers now published, one
third go to the villages. For exam
pie, Bednota Poverty, the first
mass peasant daily to be published,
which is now for the more advanced
peasants, circulates in 100000 cop
les. Hhe Krestyansaya Gazetta
peasant Gazette), popular peas
ant weekly, has over 100000 cir
culation. Its firm rots in the masses
of the peasants are shown by its
large corps of peasant-correspond-
ents, who sent in $4,000 letters to
the paper in 1927.
Reaches All Workers
From the point of view of the
character of the Soviet press, it car,
be divided as follows: the leading
general-political newspapers are 6
IN number, with a circulation of
1,48700o; the economic papers !,
with 10000 circulation, etc. OF the
mass papers, the workers papers
number SO, with circulation of
f,426,000; the peasant papers 105,
with 1,534,000 copies; the trade
union papers 9, with 748,00O copies;
the youth papers AT, with 4O7,250
circulation; the Red Army press ~,
with a total circulation of 551, 900.
One of the most remarkable in
creases as compared with Czarist
times is that of the national minori-
ties. This now numbers 208, with
circulation of 1,00s,750.
The Czarist government allowed
the oppressed minorities practically
no papers in their own languages.
A few exceptions were in the west.
Most of the magazines issued were
religious ones.
General Increase
Today, in Ukrainian there appear
30 newspapers and ITO magazines,
as compared with Is previously; in
White Russian, Is papers and IA
magazines, as against l before; etc.
In 1913, So papers were published
in II languages Excluding Russian),
today there are PIP in 4s languages
(also excluding Russian). Of these
F4S, 81 had no papers or magazines
before the revolution, and many of
them did not even have a printed
alphabet then.
Before the revolution the bour-
geois press was one of the means of
exploiting the workers and peasants,
and the virtual lack of a press was
means of keeping in subjugation
the 1875 nationalities in the country.
Today the Soviet press is not only
used to lift the cultural level of the
masses, but is also a great source
for the creative revolutionary ener-
gy of the masses.

etc. The government authorities
admitted that this blow was directed
against the paper because it was
the organ of the Communist Party.
1t was defeated by the militant pro-
test and exposure of its purpose by
the "Daily."
But the 1928 election campaign
was the biggest ever conducted by
the Party. The "Daily" and Party
literature reached hundreds of thou
sands of workers and put the Com
munist presidential ticket on the
