NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 5.-tPl-
Cotton opened easy in sympathy
with lower Liverpool cables than
expected. First trades showed losses
of 7 to 10 points. There was a rally
right after the start on covering,
probably stimulated by a bullish
private crop report. October traded
I'D to 1894 and December to 1915,
or IL to u points above the opening
figures.
Later reports of a c~loudburst in
Nebraska and rain at Fort Worth,
Texas. caused the market to ease
off. October dropping to 1921, down
10 points and December to 1893,
down IS points.
At the end of the first hour the
market was steadier and a few
points above the lows.
The market was oasier during
the morning on reports Of rain in
Oklahoma. Arensas and parts of
eastern Texas. While these rains
were mostly light to moderate. they
influenced the market downward.
October eaSed off to 1912 and
December to 1921 or p TO "a
points below the early highs. and
nearly as much below the previous
close.
Near the mid-session the market
was somewhat steadier and had

TELEVS|ON IS HERE,
INVENTOR CLAIMS
Radio Engineers Doubt 1t,
Observation-Disclosures
Set-up Is Planned.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Television and synchronization, the
two embryonic developments in radio
which have been lust around the cor
ner" for months and years, converged
in off1cial Washington yesterday with
the astounding claims that both have
been perfected.
To an audience of the greatest scien-
lists in television, meeting with the
Federal Radio Commission to appraiSe
the visual arts status, Phila T. Farms
worth, 24-year-old youth Of San Fran
cisco, unfolded q story of revolution
ary' inventions which, he claimed,
makes commercial television q reality.
1t lifts it bodily from the field of ex-
Fermentation, in which it so long has
wallowed, and makes 1t as practicable
as network broadcasting today, he as
serted. But the consensus of those en-
cheering minds was that television is
yet experimental.
The second radio sensation, that one
about synchroniZation, was the initial
step in what may see great networks
OF broadcasting stations criSs-crossing
the country on a single wave length
Now every high-powered station uses
an individual channel.
N. B. C. Files Applications.
The National Broadcasting Co., which
long has experimental with synchroni-
zation, filed with the commission appli-
cations to engage in the first perma-
nent synchronization set-up ever at
tempted by network. Station VITO,
at Hartford, Conn, and Station VIDAL,
at Baltimore, both cleared channel sta
tons, but forced to operate on alternate
days on the same channel, would get
full-time operation by tieing into the
channels of stations WEAF and WIZ,
respectively, both N. B. G. key stations

kLIMoNY FIGHT LOST
Husband Not to Get 50 q Week
and False Teeth.

DETROIT, December 4 (P.-Wolf b.
Lakritz, who has been waiting . long
time TO get So week alimony and
SlO0 set of false teeth from his former
wife, isn't going to get anything after
all -
Several months ago the court heard
VOLTS plea for divorce, in which he al
legged his wife, Lena retained all his
money The court granted the divorce,
ordered Lena to pay So a week alimony
to wolf, and told her to buy him a
500 set Of teeth.
Mrs. LakritZ carried the case to the
State Supreme Court, and that body
Tuesday declared there Is no provision
in the statutes for women TO pay d.
vorced husbands alimony. The judges
also said the lower court exceeded its
Jurisdiction IN ordering the purchase Of
false teeth.

In New York. on synchronous operation.
It Is the forerunner Of N, B, C.s plan
OF establishing synchronized networks Of
stations, each operating on q single
channel and with booster stations
strewn throughout the Nation. Broad
casting the same program. M. H, Ayles-
worth, N. B. G. president, last month
pronounced synchronization feasible. but
could not tell how or when the network
would launch 1t. The projected hook
up, If successful, viii be realization OF
the dream of radio engineers for broad
cast perfection, for thereby a method of
relieving the terrific interference in the
broadcast band will have proved itself,
according to the N. b. G..
Instead Of remaining silent on alter
nate days, VIDAL, with 10000 watts
will broadcast on WIS channel Of 76O
kilocycles, the latter station using 80 900
watts. VITO, in turn, with the maxi
mum 50,000-watt power, will broadcast
spontaneously with WEAF on its wave
length of $50 kilocycles, while it uses
$4,000 watts. In the meantime, it was
announced, WBAL and VITO will re-
tain the channel of 1850 kilocycles
which they share, with the former sta
ton using It one day while VITO syn-
chronizes with and uses the N. B. C..
programs from WEAF, and on the fol-
lowing day the positions will be reversed
with VIDAL and WIZ In the s.'nchro-
nizing roles.

There are nearly 600 radio
stations 10 this country" says
John w. Elwood, Vice Presi.
dent, National Broadcasting
Company. in a fascinating ad
dress on Radio and the Three
Rs" and relatively small
percentage of the total time on
the air is devoted to education.
per Sc. 1t is estimated that the
people of America spend 100
million listener hours per day
at their radio sets. That is a
huge total. I believe education
should share largely in it. II
seems to me that educators
should try to take advantage Of
all existing facilities-as many
hours as possible oa the entire
radio structure of the country"
Mr.. e wood points out that
radio can give life and color to
lessons in history, geography
and the like. The motion pic
ture has brought dozens of bis
torical characters and incidents
to life, by presenting them to
the eye. The radio, pictrring
them through the spoken word,
can do like wise.
Cooperation between educators
and the radio industry is neces
sary to the advancement of
such a program. That will
eventually be attained. A new
and vast field is open to those
who would spread knowledge
throughout the world.
