slowly rising curve in automobile pro-

orderly retirement in general business.
Heavier steel releases are due this

fabrication early in August when the
shutdown period is ended. Structural
steel bookings this week, $1,000 tons,
again exceeded the weekly average for

current low prices are maturing many

REPORTED
BY RADIO STATIONS
More Than Half of CONNER.
ciaI Operators Submit
Earnings Statements.

The radio broadcasting business may
now be said to be "out of the red"
But the Federal Radio Commission ID
determined to find out its exact posi-
ton and to keep fully posted as to the
earnings and financial position of each
company in the future. Questionnaires
have Just been sent out which will
elicit this information
Heretofore the information furnished
the commission has been of a volun-
tary character, but the answers now
are compulsory. The position of each
company will be demanded at least
once year. and perhaps a quarter.
Broadcasting Subsidiaries.
The commission is determined to see
that all broadcaSting licensees are in
position to maintain service 'in the
interests of the public" 1t Is to keep
the status of the broadcasting business
distinct from other activities that
broadcasting subsidiaries are being
formed by many newspapers and mer-
camille houses that operate stations.
Voluntary information reaching the
commission shows clearly that more
than half the holders of broadcasting
licenses, except amateur operators, are
making profits. There are over 800
stations operating About half have
given information, and of this number
90 per cent or more are making profits.
There has been a distinct gain in the
last year owing to the popularity of
certain programs and features and the
increase in time sold to advertisers,
The average toll time sold now
amounts to between IS and 40 per cent
OF the broadcasting time, while sta
ton programs and the time used to
promote good will for the broadcast
er's own business amounts to a little
more than so per cent. Chain-pro-
gram time occupies from 10 to IL per
cent.
Although the cost of operating sta
lions Is high, being well over $3.50, 1000
year for 50,000-watt stations, there
are FAR more requests for permission to
enter the field than can be granted.
The information now being sought by
the Radio Commission, 1t is believed.
Will give that body something definite
on which to base decisions as to re-
newals and new licenses.
Seek Good Will.
One of the two largest broadcastinV
organizations, it is asserted by radio
experts, does not make money from its
broadcasting and does not wish to do
so. All above expenses is plowed back
into the business in an effort to In
crease good will and improve programs.
Since the company Is subsidiary of q
corporation which receives royalty
from the manufacture of the larger
percentage of all receiving sets, its OBJ
Ject in encouraging receiver interest is
plain.

tai enrolment in the grammar schools
was 1,139 and at the high school 495.
These figures are somewhat misleading
inasmuch as they do not represent the

the maximum enrolment before next

won by more than two miles, indicates the

The hope has been quite general in
America that Sir Thomas might be sue

the belief that he hasn't much chance.

WHAT THE CHAMBER DOES
~. o. COSTELLO,
Manage

If any Ell Centrans are still asking
what the chamber of commerce is dong,
the following incident may give them an
idea
Recently we received from friend in
the east, a copy of an educational mag
azine having a wide circulation along the
Atlantic coast. but not so we'll known in
the west 1t contained among other
things four excellent pictures depicting
Imperial Valley scenes.
Christmas day on an Ell Centre
ranch, showed fine herd of dairy cat
tie grazing in an alfalfa field. One who
doesn't think this picture alone would
have a strong influence on folks back
east who happen to see it, just doesn't
know the east.
Another picture showed picking lettuce
in the field; the third showed an irrigat-
ed lettuce field and the fourth canta-
loupe packing shed. All of the pictures
were unusually distinct and clear, and
could not help but give those seeing them,
good impression of Imperial Valley.
There is also splendid descriptive ar
ticle on Imperial Valley.
The pictures and information for the
article were furnished by the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce.
Similar photographs and articles are
furnished repeatedly for newspapers,
magazines and school books in all parts
of the country.
The amount Of good this sort of thing
is doing in attracting people to Imperial
Valley cannot be estimated, but it is cer-
tain that the expense involved, which is
really minimum, is thoroughly justi-
fled
