SHIFTS RSTATIONS
TOEND RADIO NOISE
Federal Commission Makes
Changes Without Notice
to Listeners.

Unknown to radio listeners and to
troadcasting stations themselves, the
broadcast band is being combed from
end to end in a gradual, thorough re-
alignment of station assignments, to
silence, so far as possible, all extraneouS
noises due to technical flaws.
Last week without advance notice,
the Federal Radio Commission disclosed
the first projected shutting of assign
ments, involving Is of the 40 national
channels and as of the 800 stations.
It was the initial stride in the under
taking. but there was no tntimation
that other changes were to follow.
Shift Affects IL Stations.
The first revision of any magnitude
since the sweeping reailocation of No
vember, 1928, this shift affects II sta
tons of the front rank, operating on
cleared channels with high power. and
20 others in the secondary category.
The commissions engineering division
is engroSsed in its task Of revision as
signments throughout the stretch OF
the band to eliminate cross-talk, hetero-
dynes and other man-made interior
ences. The changes, to be made from
time to time, will be deliberate and
perhaps far between. Each will have
as its objective the clearing up of re-
ception in particular communities. I'm
less the plans are changed, there will
be no drastic, disrupting shifts.
Commission Plan Outlined.
In the end, which may be months
away, the commission hopes to have
a set-up as nearly perfect as possible.
Engineers are agreed that with only
90 available channels and more than
500 stations to be cared for 1t is en-
5r-1Ir 4v1sy, RI ~
state in broadcasting. Stations must be
packed and crammed into this almost
hopeleSsly inadequate space, with the
inevitable result of interference.
But. by intense scrutiny and mock
ALLEGATIONS worked out on paper, regional
shifts are planned to improve condi-
tions. At the direction of the commits
sion, George o. Sutton, broadcast en-
gineer, is devoting practically his entire
attention to it. Unlike the 1928 alloca-
ton, which, in one revision, turned the
broadcast band topsy-turvy, the new re-
vision will hardly be noticed, except as
the particular regions are affected
1t is unlikely that any more Of the
cleared channels will be affected than
those Is involved in last weeks new
deal
viii Probe Regional Channels.
Next the commission will revamp as
signments on the regional channels,
utilized by stations with power from
$50 to 1000 watts during evening hours.
In small chunks it will switch these
stations in line with accepted engi-
neering principles. There will be a mini
mum of power and operating time
changes which were significant in the
1928 ALLEGATION. Practically all the
shifts will be in frequency alone, TO
get greater channel separations be-
tween stations in close proximity geo.

POLICE AND FIREMEN'S
INSURANCE HELD OVER
Omnibus Bill Would Pay $4,000
to Dependents of Men Killed
in Action.

After informal discussion for nearly
two hours today the House District
committee laid aside for future con-
Sideration the omnibus bill to pay SlO,-
900 to the widow or dependents of po-
lice and firemen killed in the line of
duty.
This measure grew out of several in
dividual bills for the relief of widows
whose husbands had been killed. not
ably Mrs. Jennie Bruce Callahan,
whose husband, while on a fire truck,
was killed in a collision with an as
serted bootleggers car chased by law
enforcement officers. He had served
for a number of years with a good rec
ord on the Fire Department and had
previously been in the Navy.
Many members of Congress are
greatly interested in the proposed in
surance.

Redvers received a definite impression
of another mans thought or words
warning him that he was needed for
an important military service.
Gen. Butler made his first reputation
as an officer in the troubles of 1850
in China and In the Red River Ex-
petition of 1870, when Manitoba re-
belled, under the leadership of Louis
Riel, against becoming part of the
Dominion of Canada. His commander
on the latter campaign was Viscount
Garnet Joseph Wolseley, then a
colonel, but later distinguished as a
general, administrator and author.
Sir Redvers and Lord WolSeley be-
came very close friends, with strong
bond of sympathy between them.
1t was three years after the Franco
Prussian War of 1870 that Sir Redvers
left England and went ove- to France
to study the battleflelds.
Arriving at a certain town he gave
orders that his letters should not b
forwarded to him but should be held
until his return. He then proceeded
on his tour of inspection.
He had been absent several days
when he awoke one night with def
mite conviction that he had just seen
Lord Wolseley and heard him say: IT
wonder where that fellow Butler is? l
can't think why he hasn't answered
my letter"
Now, Sir Redvers was by no means
Of a credulous nature. But the Incl
dent so impressed him he returned at
once to the town where he had in
structed that his mail should be held.
Among the letters he found one from
Lord WoIseley. 1t informed him that
the Administration of a native
kingdom in West Africa-had broken
out in q war upon the Gold Coast
crown colony In Guinea, West Africa.
"You must return to London at
once" wrote Lord Wolseley, "as an
expedition against the Ashantis is i'm
minent"
Sir Redvers hastened to- comply. 1t
was in Africa, first against the
Ashantis, next against the Kafirs after
that the zulus, and finally in the Boer
War, the Egyptian campaign and the
South African War of 1899-1900 that
he won his fame

SUB ROSA
Your Heart-or Your Life!

There is a saying that hell hath no
fury like a woman scorned, but l am
not exactly certain that the fury OF
scorned woman is more intense than
that of a man who persistently woos
unsucccessfully.
The other day a 60-year-old doctor
shot 27-year-old girl because she twice
refused his proposal of marriage.
This is not exactly a precedent or
novelty. a. has happened before. 1t
is getting "a be something of habit
a bad and disconcerting habit.
Men shouldn't be allowed to carry re-
volvers unless they have a sense of
humor. A man who feels he simply
must avenge a refusal of marriage
should choose his weapon well.
A smile is more effective than bull
let. AS ] understand it. the repriSal Is
intended TO inflict pain. A bullet may
kill-and the man may in turn be hung
but the right kind of smile will in
fllct a terrible wound and the conse-
quences to himself will not be so severe.
No girl likes to be laughed at by
man she has refused to marry. She is
apt to think she has made an absurd
mistake and feel very foolish about it.
A show of good nature may even Gre
ate actual love. No girl likes to think
she has exercised bad judgment in a
crisis of the heart. But a man who
pulls a revolver and fires at a girl has
very little chance to win his point.
A man shouldn't come a-wooing with
