DESCRIBES RADIO G DEBT ID PAPERS
Pioneer Inventor Praises Press
 for Program Publicity

Toronto, Aug. IS Op>-The debt of radio broadcastng to the newspaper lis beyond all computation" Dr. Lee de Forest, pioneer inventor, told the annual convention of the institute of radio engineers which opened here today.
 Decrying what he described as 'the use of broadcast for direct and blatant advertising" Dr. De Forest delivering his address as president of the institute. stressed the part the daily press had played in popular izing broadcasting.
 Radios debt to the newspaper for daily program notices, program reviews and for the generous radio sections is beyond all computation. Cnquestionably it was this astonish- ing interest on the part of the press in broadcasting during it's early. struggling ten years ago which alone enabled it to survive those crucial years until an awakened popular in terest made radio self-supportng. l sincerely feel that the debt will be partially repaid only when certain forms of advertising most obviously l-suted for radios medium go 10 the printed sheet.
 The influence of radio on the press has now become profound. While it's inherent limitations will never permit it to supplant news print, yet radio has largely elimi- mated extras on prize fight results. and has shown a curtailment of in- terest in baseball news. But radio has this limitation. that it must pre- sent it's programs when the broad casters choose and not when the listeners desire it.
 Discusses Advertising
 Turning to the question of broad cast advertising, pr. De Forest said that in his inaugural address last January he sought Ito point out a very real danger to the fullest use fulness and enjoyment which radio has power to confer, menace steadily greater, more ruthless, luDIt itStl Nlll6 Ol SuSplNloil anu more generally detested-the use of the broadcast for direct and blatant advertising in larger and longer doses Subsequent observation and active inquiry has convinced me that the warning to the radio in dustry then sounded was not a needless fear"
 If we consider the prosperity of the industry alone" he continued, I've Engineers, dependent on radio for our livelihood, have ample ground for emphatic protest. But there are higher considerations the thought that shorts sighted aVar- ice is at work to curtail the means Of entertainment, of education, of uplight generally. Unless the evil Is voluntarily cured we are headed straight for government regulation.
 Already certain states are fram- ing radio taxation measures. Can ada, has followed her mother Coun- try and levies a tax on each radio receiver.

NEW YORK, July .. U.Pi-fouis
from low blows have been legislated

the most drastic action ever taken

If blow lands below the belt and
the fighter goes down, he will be

4 FEW STRAWS

Straws show which way the wind
blows, says the old saying, and there are
few straws blowing around El Centro
at present.
One straw shows a substantial increase
in building permits for the month of
June, over the same period last year, the
increase being S11,S40 The total build
ing permits for the first half of the year
is S350,036, compared with S231 ,445 for
the first six months of 1929, or an in
crease of S112591.
All indications point to success in
reaching the goal of half million in per
mits before the close of the year.
Another straw is an increase of APP
proximately $4,000 in postal receipts re-
ported for the Ell Centro post office, dur
ing the first six months. Postal receipts
are always taken as an indication of a
community's commercial activity, and
an increase is barometer that shows
the development in business here.
Almost half of the 1000 telephone di-
rectories printed for Imperial Valley, are
distributed in El Centro and constant
increase in the number of telephones in
use here is shown on the records of the
telephone company.
Remaining in the white spot on the
business map Of the country when most
other communities are reporting depres-
sion, is not exactly to be taken as
straw, but may justly be considered as
whole bale of straw.
These indications of prosperity are
only the forerunners of what may be ex-
pected in the next few years Boulder
canyon dam, no longer dream but a
reality, will be the best advertisement for
Imperial Valley that any community ev-
er received
Individual straws will soon be over
whelmed in an avalanche of straws that
will completely smother the pessmist

4 TIP TO THE MARRIED

Of words of advice in regard to mar
riage there is no end Most of it, no
doubt, dates all the way back to Adam
and Eve, and most of it, just as indubt-
ably, always has been and always will
be disregarded; but it does no harm to
add word or two to the general total
now and then, anyway.
The latest comes from Judge Samuel
Harrison of Evanston, Ill.,, who has mar
ried 900 couples during his period in
office. He offers many bits Of advice;
his best, we think, is this:
Forgive your partner seventy times
seven, and then throw away the account
book
Any happily-married couple can tell
you the value of that admonition. Mu-
tual forebearance and forgiveness can
shove almost any obstacle out of the path
of marital happiness.

FOREST FIRES
TOLL is LOWER
Burned Over Acreage Far
Under 1929.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Des-
pite unusual drought conditions,
timber fires in national forests are
not taking such a heavy toll this
year as in 1929.
Except in eastern states, where a
continual fire season has existed
ever since spring, the acreage
destroyed this year has been far be-
low that in the corresponding period
last year.
I'm the west we have had as many
fires up to Sept. 10 as we had all
last year, but the acreage destroyed
has been far less" Col. R. Y. Stuart,
chief forester, said today.
During 1929, a total of 775,000
acres of timber burned in western
national forests. Up to Sept. 10 this
year, but SO, 900 acres had burned.
In the east, however, where the
number of fires this year has been
almost three times as great as in
the same period of 1929, more than
twice as much timber has been
burned. Up to Sept. 20 $4,000 acres
had beer burned in eastern national
forests ss compared with 24,742
acres last year.

THE initial plays in backgam-
l. mon can be recommended with
accuracy as they are not influenced
by the constantly changing po-
sitions of the men.
Certain definite principles. how
ever, should be kept in mind
throughout the play. When a throw
permits a player to block a point
it is usually wise to do so. 1t would
seem to be wiser to play man to
a point on which another of his
men already is resting in preference
to leaving blot.
This is not always the better
strategy. A legitimate risk should
often be taken in the hope of
covering and blocking an important
point on the next play if the blot
so left is not hit.
Certain strategic points are very
valuable to block and therefore war
rant taking this risk. The two most
valuable points to block are point 5
in players inner table and point l
in a players outer table.
This point 7 is called the "bar
point" Fine players differ as to
which of these two points is the
