lin. I move toward it stealth
lily, on tiptoe, so that it shall
not observe me; sneak on this
gray tunic that has destroyed
so much of us, our youth and
our life; 1 pulr it down and
think to fling it away, but
then I smooth it lightly with
my hand. I put 1t on, I feel
it taking possession of me
through the skin. I shiver, my
heart thuds heavily in my
throat. A note twangs out in
the silence! I start and turn
around; take fright, press
back against the wall
The Shadow BeckOns
In the pale light Of the open
door stands a shadow. It sways
and hovers: it corres nearer
and beckons-a figure, a face
with dark eye sockets, between
them a great cleft gaping, a
mouth speaking without sound.
Is that?

Willenbrock, killed in August

mad, then? Am dreaming?
Am I ill? But behind him an.
other is already pushing his
way in-pale. crippled, bowed
down; Friedrich T ON berge,
whose back was broken by a
shell splinter at Scissors, while
he was sitting on the stairs Of
a dugout.
And now they press in, with
dead eyes, gray and CHASTITY, a
swarm of shadows; they have
come back again and are filling
the room: Franz Kemmerich.

his leg amputated and died
three days after. Stanislau Kat

dropping head, whence trickles
a thin, dark stream. Gerhard
Feldkamp, blown to pieces by a
trench-mortar bomb at YpreS.
Paul Banner, killed in october,

Heinzmann, Hale Westhus, otto
Matthes, Franz Wagner-
shadows, shadows. A long pro-
cession, an unending line, they
press in, they perch on the
books, they Chamber up to the
window, they fill the room.
The Horror OF It
But suddenly the horror, the
astonishment breaks in me; for
slowly stronger, a darker
shadow has arisen. Propped on
its arms, it creeps in through
the door; it takes on life, bones
grow within it, a body drags
itself in, teeth gleam chalky-
white out Of the black face, eyes
now flash in the deep sockets.
Rearing like a seal, he crawls
in, toward me-the English
captain! And trailing behind
him, rustling, the puttees. With
a slight lurch he filings himself
upwards, reaches toward me
with clutching hands. Ludwig!

wrench the aquarium from its
stand and heave it toward the
door: it crashes and skaters IN
pieces. hurl the butterfly case
after it. the violin; seize a
chair and strike at that grin.
"Ludwig!" I rush at him, I
burst through the door, the
chair crashes. I rush out-cries
behind me, frightened cries
but louder, nearer, the gasping,
painting
He is chasing me! I fly down
the stairs. he stumps after me:
gain the street, he is there; I
run, the houses rock. "Help!
Help!" Squares, trees, a clutch
at my shoulder, he has caught

CENSUS TELLS FAMILY
RADIO SET AVERAGE
New England and Western States
Report Most-D. G. Per-
centage High.

New England and Western States lead
by far in the number of families re-
porting that they had radio sets to
enumerators of the Census Bureau as
Of April /, 1880, according to the fig
ures for IS States and the District OF
Columbia thus far compiled and made
public by census officials.
Though 1t leaves out of account the
number of extra sets in the home as
well as school, automobile and Office ra-
dios and the miscellaneous and other
radios outside the home, the radio CEN
sus, which was taken along with the
decennial census of population last
year, Is the most authoritative index to
the actual number of radio listeners in
the United States ever made available.
Considered a. q whole, this group OF
slightly less than one-third of the
states in the Union, only a few of
them in the category Of thickly popu-
lated States, revealed that less than SO
per cent of their families had radios.
In fact, there were fewer than 200, 900
homes with radios in all. With the
average number of persons per family
in these States at Al, there were COM
siderably fewer than 5000, 900 home lis
teners in all the States reported.
IDOuBH UIllS aggregate Is surprisingly
small and might tend to indicate that
the country as a whole has far less
than the 100000 to $4,000 900 sets
freely estimated. it must be borne in
mind that the most thickly populated
States remain to be reported. Conspic-
uous by the absence as yet are the re-
ports for New York, Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
California and many other States, oil
Of which will be reported from time ia
time during the next few months.
The officiAl Canadian radio sets cen.
sus, which Is based on the number OF
persons paying the required 81 annual
license fee, reveals 472,531 radios
licensed in the Dominion on December
81, 1880, or one to every 20.0 persons
The actual number Of sets, Is in the
United States, is believed to be co1sid-
erably greater, for it Is well known
fact In Canada that many citizens
neglect paying the tax and that the
government has not been particularly
strict about collections.
Connecticut and the District Of Co
lumbia are well In the lead among the
American States thus far reported In
the proportion Of their families owning
radios, the FIRST showing $40 per cent
and the second $50 per cent Iowa Is
far In the lead in the actual number
Of sets with SOC, 1927.

ing February deviated as much as 100
cycles and 55 kept under the 200-cycle
limit, the Terrell report shows. 80 ex-
cellent have been the findings Of late
that the Federal Radio Commission is
considering narrowing the maximum

Radio Commission has embarked upon
o policy Of obtaining first-hand infor-
nation about new Developments In
radio. especially technical, by sending
its own staff men into the field. Not
only they, but the commissioners them
selves are making periodical forays into
various parts Of the country to inspect

OMMERCIALlSM BANNED
ON RELAY SHORT WAVES
Federal Radio Commission Holds
That Rsbroadoasting IN Foreign
Lands Il Still Experimental.

Lands Il Still Experimental.
For the present ut least the relay
broadcasting short waves, over which
radio programs are transmitted for re-
ception and rebroadcasting In foreign
lands, will not be opened to CONNER
cialism. The Federal Radio Commits
sion has so decreed in supporting Chief
Examiner Ellis A. Yost's recommends
ton that no special advertising pro-
grams shall be transmitted over W8XK,
auxiliary Of KDKA, Pittsburgh. The
commission holds, as did YoSt, that the
relay channels are purely experimental
In nature.
There are a. American stations
which transmit via the relay short
waves simultaneously with their normal
intermediate wave transmiesions. The
Westinghouse company applied to the
commission to be permitted to transmit
special sponsored programs for recep-
ton abroad on short-wave receivers. 1t
was also proposed to have some OF
these programs rebroadcast by foreign
stations for the purpose Of stimulating
the market for certain American COM
modities, notably radio.
Yost, who heard the arguments for
this change in policy, ruled adversely.
The commission, In sustaining his rul.
ing, held that "it appears there Is no
demand or need Of this type Of trans

RADIO HAS MADE
NO M|LL|ONA|RES
Has Attracted the Rich, but
Has Created No New Masters
of Wealth, Says Variety.
BY MARTIN conEI..

American broadcasting, though Il
has recently come into its own Is q
thriving business, has created few, II
any. millionaires, according to Variety.
1t has. however, attracted quite few
millionaires as q field for investment.
II all continues to go well, It prom
ises In time to elevate some Of It's
entrepreneurs into the seven-hgl1s
class.
Possibly the only man who has made
a million or more out OF broadcastinR
per Sc is William S. Paley, the 29-
year-old president Of the Columbia
BroAdcasting System. who, with his
family, purchased the moribund net
work few years ago for a small figure
and then sold half-interest to the Para
mount motion picture interests for Q
sum reputed to run as high as $5,000,-
900 in cash and stock.
Paley. however, was millionaire In
his own right when he came to radio,
having been affiliated with his father in
the cigar manufacturing business.
Ralph and Leslie Atlass of Chicago
recently sold their remaining stock in
WBBM for tidy sum, but they, too,
came to radio with fortune already
achieved in the packing bu-ineSs. Ralph
Atlass Is now affiliated with Philip z.
Wrfgley chewing gum maker, IN the
buying of a group of smaller stations.
@. A. Richards. owner of WJR, De-
troit, and VICAR, Cleveland, was q
millionaire automobile distributor be-
fore going into radio, as were Don Lee
and Earl Anthony, prominent West
Coast broadcasters. John Shepard of
Boston Is q millionaire department
store owner and went into broadcastinR
as sideline and now not only owns
several stations, but Is head of the
Yankee network Of New England sta
tons.
Radio Backers Rich.
Interests representing millions, many
in the publishing, theatrical, radio
manufacturing and miscellaneous other
fields, are generally behind the leading
American radio stations. It was the
radio set and tube business, however,
which actually made many individual
millionaires in this country, besides
earning huge dividends for many stock
holders. Among the men made wealthy
by the radio manufacturing business
are Atwater Kent, Powell Crosley, VIII
liam Grunow, B. ]. Grigsby. Eugene
Mcdonald, Capt. William Sparks and
McMurdo Silver.
Star Radio Incomes.
Variety remarks upon the fact that
neither radio executives nor radio stars
are in the income class Of theatrical
and motion picture executives and
stars. Nearest to making big fortunes
out of radio performing are Freeman
Gosden and Charles Correll (Amue n
Andy, who, however, disclaim any
hint that they have made their first
million; Rude Vallee, who owes all his
success and most Of his income TO
radio, and few others. But they do
not compare In income, says variety,
with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pick
ford, Charlie Chaplin, Eddie Cantor,
Al Jolson, Will Rogers and others In
the show business.
