Small Metal Box Silences Set
for Duration of Sales
Speech.

As If to emphasize in a practical way
his oft-voiced objections to Grass COM
mercialtSEn" on the radio, DR.. Lee De
Forest new comes forward with q de-
vice designed to squelch the windy adj
vertising announcer and yet enable the
listener to enjoy the desirable portions
of q program. The inventor of the
radio tube and father of broadcasting"
calls his invention the "Anti-Ad"
The "Anti-Ad" is simply Q small
metal box which Is mounted on or
near Q radio receiving set and con-
nected to it by short conductor cable.
1t contains . selenium cell and grid
glow relay tube and simple relay. The
listener simply turns the rays Of 2 small
haShlight on the "Anti-Ad' and 1t oper-
for the duration of the objectionable
advertising talk.
Nor Is it necessary to keep the spot
light focused on the selenium cell
throughout the whole period Of inter-
lag device which permits the relay to
return to contact only after o hxed
period of delay and which Is adjustable
by a knob and dial calihrated in seconds
on the "Anti-Ad."
DR.. De Forest describes his device
in the current issue OF Radio News, In
which he states that what the long
suffering radio user neads is simple
wireless device whereby he can in
stantly assassinate the advertising an

PUPILS LIKE HISTORY,
RADIO SURVEY SHOWS
Preferred to All ether Subjects
Broadcast for Their Instruction.
Dramatization Popular.

School children prefer history to all
other subjects broadcast by radio for
their instruction.
A survey conducted by Miss Florence
Fox, specialist of the Bureau of Educa-
ton, shows poetry and music lack the
fascination history has for children.
Returns from missionaries sent to
IS States indicate also that dramatiza-
ton Is the most popular form of pre-
senting educational subjects and the
band Is the favorite type of music.
The types Of presentation in the ex-
perimental broadcasts included story
telling, dran1atization, music, lecture,
dialogue, debate, recitation and inter-
view. OF these, % per cent of the pupils
preferred dramatizatior, story telling
ranking second with 80 per cent. The
lecture method was opposed by rs per
cent and the Interview by SO per cent.
All Of the Is literary and musical
programs were klackballed by from 2
per cent of the pupils in respect to some
programs to 81 per cent in respect to
others. Of the 16 history programs,
only 5 were voted poor" and those by
a small number.
Some of the teachers made the
criticism that certain programs were
too mature for the students compre-
hension, interest and experience. About
85 per cent of the pupils heard the
programs distinctly.

IRISH FILM CENSORSHIP
RULES lRk BOTH SIDES
Exhibitors and Reformers Alike
Are Dissatisfied With slow,
Poorly Defined System.

DUBLIN Rl.-The Aim exhibitors in
the Free state are dissatisfied with the
working Of the state censorship. So are
many moral reformers.
It Is q criminal offense In the Free
State to exhibit 9 Aim that has not
been passed BY the censor. There Is
only one censor and he Is not full
time officer.
Talkies cannot be rushed through -
rapidly as were the silent Aims and the
consequent delay In getting the CEN
sor's decision is held prejudicial to the
trade.
There is Q Board of Appeals against
the censor's decisions, but as neither the
censor nor the Appeal Board ever as
signs any reason for rejecting q film
the exhibitors col-.plain that they have
no means Of knowing what win pass
muster.
On the other hand, there are COM
plants from the churches that offensive
Aims are occasionally shown. Though
the movie proprietors can appeal against
a rejection, there Is no appeal against
an acceptance, and the only form of
protest is . disturbances in the theater.

BIBLES ARE PEDDLED

MADRID R).-The Bible is now seld
openly by street peddlers here.
That may not seem surprising, unless
|Dne reflects that there was time When
men we're imprisoned for that and aur-
ing the Inquisition ran the risk OF ne=
ing burned at the stake.
George Borrow, an EngiishmaH, came
TO Spain to ssh Bibles a century ago,
was jailed for 1t, and wrote book about
his adventures.
Now there seem to be no obstacles
placed in the way of those who would
sell or buy Bibles. The street hawkers
'are not missionaries OF any creed, but
professional peddlers. and they sell gar
tiers, shoestrings, dime novels, or any
thing else they get hold Of sleng with
THE Bibles.

DR.. De Forest goes on to say that the
automatic tine-lag, which precludes
the need of keeping the Aashlight TO-
cused on the shadoW-box, can be
celebrated to shut the set Of for any
amount of time, suggesting that the an
nouncer usually talks for 20 to 80
seconds. AS his Anal fling against the
commercial part Of the program, DR..
De Forest adds this comment:
"In using the 'Anti-Ad' one exper-
fences 3 new Joy not unlike that which
one would experience In shooting a
noisy tom-cat on the top of back
fence on a moonlight night and thus
terminating the awful caterwaul. It is
infinitely more easy to recline in your

the simple flash of light than 1t is to
get up, walk across the room and throw
the radio switch"

This is the conclusion Of tests
completed at the University of
Minnesota in cooperation with
KSTP. Two sophomores, James
Copeland and Robert McBrady,
conducting experiments in psy-
chelogy with varied groups, re-
parted that they found students
accomplished more and were less

In the tests students were given
problems in mathematics to solve
under varied conditions. When a
thrilling story was on the air, they
had difficulty In concentrating.
Experimenters were surprised to

than when the room was quiet,
