POTATO CAKES.

Peel about two quarts potatoes
and cook in salted water until
tender. Drain and mash. Add
more salt, caraWay seeds and
flour enough to make stiff. Flat
ten out into round cakes about l
inch thick, cut as you would pie
and bake in frying pan on top of
stove. Have plenty salt pork fat
to cook them in. Turn every few
minutes so they will not burn.
They should be eaten while hot,
with plenty butter.

greater effort would probably have given

His writing has many different slantS,
suggesting certain degree of vacilla-

that he tries to keep in step with the
latest fads and ideas. Every one desires

valuable time by carrying this desire
to an extreme.
Apparently he IS the type who is

valuable exercise.

TE[EWS|ON IS GOAL
OF UNITED INDUSTRY
Settlement of Tube Patent
Suits Is Stepping Stone
to Radio Peace.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Swords that have swung viciously in
radio patent warfare during the past
decade are being fashioned into test
tubes of the laboratory in the united
effort of the radio industry to achieve
q common goal-practical television.
Amicable settlement of the mai
difficulties that have existed between
the Radio Corporation of America and
independent manufacturers Is viewed
as the stepping stone to complete COM
posture of the industry. Virtually since
the advent of broadcasting IL years ago
the industry has been harassed by pat
ent and other litigation, with the r..
G. A. pitted against long line OF
adversaries.
In New York there is the feeling that
the patent feud is over. The whole in
dustry has become weary OF the in
cessant quibbling over this patent and
that, which has done naught but
hamper development, with funds that
might well have been spent in the
laboratory diverted to the expense OF
litigation.
r, C. A. to Aid All.
Television is the pot of gold at the
end OF radios rainbow. Quite natu-
rally, many componentS of the industry
are looking toward the r. G. A. Tor
leadership in the visual art, and those
three dozen set manufacturers now
licensed to use r. Q. A. receiver patents
already have been promised the fuil
benefits of. the laboratory developments
of r. @. A. engineers.
There are indications, too. that be-
fore the year is out r. C.. A. Will re-
lease to its afiliated manufacturers the
secrets of its mystery" system, now IN
experimental operation at Camden, N.
J., and said to surpe IS anything mere
tofore exhibited publicly in the way OF
visual radio, from the standpolntS OF
quality of pictures and practicabllity OF
operation.
The most vexatious Of the manifold
law suits in which the r. G. A. has
been embroiled already has been erased
from the records. Clause 8 required
all radio set manufacturers using r. G.
A. patents under croSs-licensing agree
ments initially to equip their sets with
R. C.. A. tubes. The courts held TINS
tended toward monopoly.
Damage Suits Ended.
r. c. A. paid to the De Forest firm
81 900, 900 in cash to settle this suit,
and it Is understood that possibly one
half as much was paid to other tube
companies in settlement of triple-dam-
age suits which grew out of the de-
cision. In reaching the understanding
the r. c. A. is said to have settled all
antitrust suits instituted against 1t by
tube makers who were not operating
under license agreements with 1t. The
action wipes out triple-damage actions
against r. C. A. which demanded APP
prox.mately s50,000,000.
Efforts to settle out OF court the SUIT
brought by the Department of Justice
against the r. c. A., alleging infringe
ment of the arti-monopoly laws, now
are going forward.

Folks Behind
The MicrOphone
BY THE RADIO EDITOR.

T WO young men who soothe the
ears of radio listeners weekly by
hammering two pianos in unison,
i work eight hours day in bust
ness. One is an accountant, a
human adding machine. The other is
a clerk in a Wall Street brokers' ofdce,
a young man mingling music with
finance.
The Piano Twins, they are called.
Listed with all the other National
Broadcasting Co. features, they are well
up the list in popularity. Lester Place.
accountant, and Robert Pascocello, Wall
Street clerk, they are away from their
pianos.
The Twins differ from all other radio
performers. They are not content TO
drop all activity other than that found
in music. Place believes a precise
knowledge of mathematics to be closely
akin to a thorough knowledge of music
and piano technique. Pascocello is
curious about the intricate workings of
finances. Besides Wall Street is contrast
to his musical efforts, and provides a
great deal of inspiration.
Between business and music they
have little time for anything else. Five
nights a week they practice, playing
together, playing in harmony, striving
to capture that something that combines
the two instruments into a melodiouS
musical whole. Each Of their weekly
radio concerts Is rehearsed at least six
times before 1t Is actually played for
the air.
