Here amid the bizarre Oriental

interesting places to fascinate the

Since this domain has been

many worthwhile engineering &C.

NEWS-GOSSIP
OF RADIO
WORLD
BY BROADCASTER

Some of the Tin Pan Alley
tunesmiths complain that the
radio censorship is little severe
on song writer's. Better this than
to send out offensive lyrics over
the air channels.
Radio does we'll to eliminate
some of the smutty, double mean
ing songs which too often find
favor with musical comedy and
vaudeville artists. After all, radio
appeals to the family audience,
and home listeners miss nothing
in the denial of gigolo and tort h
tunes which may be a riot with
the Broadway showwise, but ale
distinctly out Of place and en-
barrasing in the drawing room.
I commend N. B. C. and Columbia
for their strict supervision.
Composers complain than one
protest will bring blackbau. l
don't believe that any more than
that all who complain are censor

"cranks." Some pretty low stuff
makes a hit in night clubs and
disguised speakeaSies. There is
no particular reason why the
same song material should prove
edifying or entertaining on the
air. In fact there is good reason
to believe these red hot tunes
will bring more bushes than ap-
plause through the loud speaker.
Among the songs recently black
listed vocally over N. B. c., al
though permitted to be played in
strumentally, are Love for Sale, ,
Thank You, Father" Sing Some
thing Simple" Getting Myself
Ready for You" BLOW Hot, Blow
Cold "One of Gods Children
That Hasn't Got Wings"
That list may have been heard
over N. B. c., but not with the
original lyrics. Some numbers
are out in their entirety. others
because of one sentence and still
others simply because of one
word. If the offending portion is
changed,N. B. C. permits use of the

Maurice Chevalier has not hit the

which comes from the living viSi-

pered a little bit in finding the

Paramount is also a little dis
turbed that anything less than
complete success on the air will
be reflected at the box office. The
fact remains that the Frenchman

MONTANA EXTENSION
SERVICE LAYS PLANS
FOR RELIEF IN STATE

Bozeman, Mont, (UP)-Com-
prehensive plans for relief for the
drought stricken areas of the
state are being made, according to
John c. Taylor, director of the
Montana Extension Service.
Farm organizations, business
men in towns and cities, the Mon
tana Association, and other civic
groups are cooperating with state
and federal agencies.
One of the most important
problems which the Extension
Service has undertaken is showing
the people of rural communities
how to preserve for winter use
every available foodstuff.
Beans, peas, dried fruits, root
crops, cereal foods and other pro-
ducts are being prepared for
winter use. In some communities
special schools under the direction
of home demonstration agents are
providing instruction in canning,
drying, storing and other means of
food preservation.
At the request of relief agencies
county extension agents are CO.
operating in the assembling of
clothing, which will be needed in
some sections of the state this
winter.
While no official word has been
received by the Extension service
regarding changes announced last
week by Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde in feed loan regulations,
they are expected in the immedi-
ate future. Under the proposed
plan, the federal farm board will
dispose of some of it's surplus by
selling it on long-term credit to
county boards.
While hardship will be encoun-
tered, the splendid cooperation of
all classes will do much to insure
food and feed supplies for the
winter, Taylor said.

Without the highly organized
facilities of today, the pioneer oil
drillers had to fashion their own
tools and derrick, create their own
shop. They dug coal from the hillo
to run their engine, and finally re-
sorted to wood from the sawmill
which they had built. They had to-
experiment with the proper piping
for that first hole and go long dis
tances to get it. After four months
of effort they found technique.

mediately raised to approximately
$4,000. (In view of the conf
pany's estimate of the total val
ue of the mine, S112,S17, it is sig
nlficant to note that the Washoe
mine, comprising no electric plant
whatsoever, turned in a figure of
about S1S9,000.) Corroboration of
the assessors action was furnished
by a presentation of the allowan-
ees that have been made for de-
probation on the Red Lodge plant.
During the 2s years that the
plant has been in operation, an
allowance of from six to eight per
cent has been made each year for
depreciation of the equipment,
both in the fixing of taxes and the
fixing of rates. In fact, it was
pointed oat by legal representa-
tives of the county, that the value
''charted out" in the allowance
made during the past Is years
in other words, the company has
received, both in tax lenieneies and
rates during that time, the COM
plete value of the equipment, and
is now bound to pay taxes upon it
at its full value.
The fact that the company now
has on hand several dead genera
tors, since it has been purchasing
its current from the Montana
fower company, was declared to
be no reason why taxes should not
be paid on the machinery, which
has already earned its installation
expense.
A comparison of the valuation
reports as submitted to the county,
and as submitted to the Public
Service commission, was interest
ing. The aforementioned $4,000
reported to the county, covering
electric wires, poles, transform
ers, and meters, was found to
have been greatly expanded as it
appeared in the report to the
Public Service commission, ap-
pearing as a S60,175 report, COW
ering number of various items.
The blanket phrase electric wires,
poles, transformers, and meters,o
in the report for the rate fixing
purposes was itemized as follows.
power plant equipment, S14,877;
poles and transformers, S14,105;
overhead conductors, S7,0S1; SER
vices, S3,800; lines and miscellan-
eous equipment, S5,941; trans
former installation, STAG; custom
er's meters, S9,283; meter install
lation, S2,35l; insurance on Gus
toner's premises, S1,991.
Interesting also is study of
statement prepared by the Public
Service commission, for the per-
iod between 1926 and 1881, on val
ue of plant equipment and net op-
Grating revenue of the N. w. I.
This shows their net depreciation
reserve to have increased from
$36,S13.94 in 1926, to $63, 3,568.26 in
1890. Over the same time the de-
probation value is shown to have
decreased from $116,631.73 to $780,
669.34. The net operating reven-
ne in 1926 was S6, ,48477, and in
1880 was $11,222.O8, while the rate
of return on investment has in
creased from 5.56 per cent to

know how to sing, and prove it.
The New Moon" does not give
Tibbett as romantic role as did
the picture THE Rogue Song" The
type of the role is about the same,
but there is no thrilling 1ashing
scenes to sing through in this one.
The plot does not follow the stage
version, and is thin and wholly i'm
probable. Dealing with princess
and an officer in the army who fall
in love, it is one of those things that
only happen In movies and fairy
tales.
But DESPITE the weakness of the
story, and the lack Of good dramatic
acting on the part of Tibbett and
Miss Moore, their fine voices make
it enjoyable theater Miss Moore's
voice records well and matches even
ly with Tibbett's.
The best acting goes to Adolphe
Menjou, as the governor who is also
in love with the princess. Roland
Young does well with a comedy part.
Gus Shy and Emily Fitzroy are also
present.
The songs Lover Come Back to
Me-" zone Kiss" and Wanting
You" are featured with the first
named as the theme, and Tibet
and Miss Moore sing them with such
an ease and perfection, that makes
them a grand treat.
