Story
BY HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright, 1881, Premier Syndicate)
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 15.-Look-
ing ahead, Paramount has pur-
chased Charles 'Kenyon'S play,
"Top o. the Hill" for Claudette
Colbert's next picture at the West
Coast Studio.
This melodrama, not to be con-
fused with Fox's "Over the Hil,"'
has a San Francisco background.
The heroine is a woman with q
past, who becomes engaged to a
wealthy and aristocratic young
man.
In the first production Of the
play on the Coast, Helen Mencken
and william Boyd had leading
roles. Later, Felix Young took q
different cast to Broadway.
AS matters stand, the picture
will get underway in November.
Young, now an associate pro-
ducer at Paramount, will be in
charge. In the meanwhile, Claud-
cite does two pictures with Gary
Cooper in the East-"Sal Of
Singapore" and an unnamed
story.

RADIO ADS IN 193O|
7OTALED S75,0)D,ODO'
Broadcasters' Group May
Consider Ethical Code Advo-
Gated by Raleigh Official.
BY ROBERT MACK.

An outlay Of about s75,ooO,0oO is rep
resented in the radio programs received
by the American public during the
course of a year.
That is the estimate made today by
H. K. Carpenter of Raleigh, N. c.,
chairman of the Commercial Commit
mittee of the National Association of
BroadcasterS. And this bill is footed
by hundreds of radio advertisers who
sponsor programs and each OF whom
is competing for the attention of the
radio audience and Is offering as an In
ducement programs of high quality"
Mr.. Carpenter states.
In his report to the association, to be
considered at the next annual conven-
ton in Detroit in October, Mr. Car
penter recommends the adoption by the
broadcasterS of a code of ethics de-
signed to place the industry on sound
economic basis. BroadcaSting, he states,
should be treated as a business. with
the commodity for sale being time on
the air.
Principles Being Advocated.
Here are the principles he advocates
and will seek to have adopted at the
forthcoming convention:
!. That service to the listener is
primary requisite to commercial success
2. That quality of production should
not be sacrificed to commercial ex-
pediency.
3. That each advertiser be required
70 make contribution to the enter
tainment or education of the listener
for the privilege of reaching the radio
audience with his message.
f. That should be the objective of
each commercial station to maintain
itself on at least a self-sustaining basis,
since any other basis may be character
lied as unfair competition with other
stations or advertising media.
5. That a consistent effort be made
by the members of the National ASSo-
citation of Broadcasters to improve the
technique OF broadcast advertising.
Too Much Advertising Cited.
The broadcasters are well aware of
the plant of too much advertising over
the air, emanating from many quarters.
At the last meeting of the association
this was a live subject, with much de-
bate centering around ways and means
of removing Objectionable advertising
methods, but at the same time afford
ing the advertiser fair return for his
expenditure.
Good will for the advertiser and his
product, and not direct selling of mer-
chandise over the air, is the point that
the broadcasters are trying to drive
home. They are in virtual agreement
that radio advertising is purely sup
Elemental to the printed word" and
that 1t should not be reSorted to as a
substitute for other forms Of advertis-
ing.
It is almost q certainty that the re-
port Of the Commercial Committee will
provoke considerable discussion at the
October N. A. B. Convention AS a
whole. broadcasting has been a losing
proposition, but q distinct group of sta
tions now Is reaping profits.

Flower Arrangement.

Cut flowers with short stems are
rather difficult to arrange in a shallow
dish. When moist sand is used in
stead Of water, the flowers will look just
as fresh as they do in water and any
desired effect in color scheme or gen.
eral arrangement can be obtained with
the certainty that it will last as long
as the flowers.

Cut and engraved glassware should
be washed In q wooden or pulp bowl and
in warm, soapy water. Use small

rinse in clean cold water. adding a

 "Oh, Venice, I was afraid I wouldn't see you to say au revoir.'

And through it's neat ness and tranquility came to her that gay asurance of fresh be- ginning. Diffidence left behind; a Venice metamorphosed into a Lola or an Ann Duryea.
