order. to RCA Communications, Inc,
and Mackay Radiotelegraph Co, which
had been unsuccessful before the Com
mission in the original 1923 ALLEGATIONS.
The Commission last month, however,
asked the court for permission to reopen
this 3-year-old case. indicating that
both RCA and Mackay had since vio-
lated the Radio Act through Affiliations
with other interests. Nothing yet has
been done about the matter.
Congress now has before it number
of radio proposals. but it is hardly
expected that much attention will be
paid to radio in view of the pressure
of legislation for economic relief. A
bill to ban lotteries from the air is
likely to pass. Other legislative pro-
posals include the Couzens bill to
create a Federal commission on COM
munications. copyright bill providing
for automatic copyright of musical and
other selections, and the Fess educa-
ton bill for Is per cent OF the

Radio Corporation of America, giant
in the whole radio field. had troubles
aplenty during 1881. On top of the
governments suit of the preceding year,
filed by the Department of Justice,
charging it with monopoly and viola
ton of the antitrust laws, it had to
fight before the Radio Commission
against cancellation of the more than
l 400 licenses covering every phase Of
radio, held by the RCA subsidiaries.
This suit grew out Of the determina-
ton by the Federal courts that the
RCA had violated the Clayton act
In the celebrated tube-clause case, in
which it had required manufacturers
using its patents initially to equip their
two vote the commission gave the RCA
clean bill Of health, only to have
the case appealed to the Court Of Ap-
peals by an intervenor in the proceed
ings.
Meanwhile, the RCA endeavored to
compose its differences with the De-
partment OF Justice in the antitrust
suit filed In the Delaware courts. A pro-
poSal for creation of a radio patent
pool, into which would be thrown the
1000 patents held by the RCA, was
made and tentatively agreed to, as step
toward dissolution Of this suit and the
amicable settlement Of the case. Nego-
tiations are still going forward with
the Department Of Justice. AS fore
runner of its negotiations with the de-
partment, the RCA amicably settled its
differences with 81 tube manufacturing
companies.
That doughty group Of radio
pioneers-the amateurs continued their
experimentation in the ultra high
frequency bands. The discoverers of the
short-wave have presented as their
latest contribution the ultra-high
frequency range. Having successfully
demonstrated that ultra-high frequency
can be used for code transmission. the
amateurs, talking from one city to
another and one nation to another, now
, are attacking these frequencies with
voice transmission. They build their

INTELLIGENTSiA GRANTED
LENIENCY BY SOVIET
Airplane Engineers Released From
Arrest and Given Cash Awards
Up to SIS, 900.

MOSCOW, July 10 (P).-The first
concrete result of the governments
new policy of greater leniency for the
intelligentsia came today in a decree
of the Central Executive Committee of
the Communist party granting full
clemency and money awards to MINI
Der of engineers of the old school who
are under arrest for "wrecking actiVi-
ties" at an airplane factory here
The men were imprisoned by the
secret police, but after having express
ed their repentance they were permitted
to resume work at the factory while
remaining under technical arrest. All
are granted full freedom.
D. P. Grigorovitch, former chief con-
structor of experimental airplanes, was
awarded about $4,000 The same amount
was awarded A. V. Nadajkevitch, for
mer chief constructor of the entire fac
tory. The other awards run from $500
to $500.

samples Of ore which he said had as
sayed up to $1,000 ton.
He refused to identify the mineral
in the ore or tell on which island it had
been found, on the ground sit would be
regrettable, indeed, to cause stampede
to that part of the country"
Assays conducted by DR.. j. A. Kelson,
provincial analyst, showed Donovan's
samples to run 3,98292 ounces of min
eral to the ton of ore. The maximum
in other ores was said to be from 20
to IS ounces.
1t was at Great Bear Island in Echo
Lake that the great radium pitchblende
find was made, and Donovan asserted
that, besides the mineral he located on
his island, there was also copper and
radium there.

SOVIET WORKERS
EVOLVE CALENDAR
Forget Days of Week, but
Mark Passing of Time
by Holidays.

stories on preSent-dGy conditions in

MOSCOW.-In Soviet Russia the
name of the day of the week is without
significance. Instead, the populace fig
ures it's dates according to its day off.
THE fifth day" is the key to the
calendar so far as the present day Rus
sian is concerned. Ask any passerby
what day of the week it IS and he Will
shake his head in ignorance. But follow
him to his home and you will find there
the calendar on which he has placed a
red mark on every fifth DAY. That sig
nifies his day off under the Soviet five
day week.
Marks Days of.
Starting with the first day OF the
month, if he happens to be on that
particular schedule OF days off. the
worker will mark circles around the
months numerals /, 6, II, 16, p, 26, or
2, z. IL. II, %. 81 and so on.
Fundamentally, the universal calendar
still exists, although it is varied some
what for government and industrial
purposes by the adoption of the 30-day
month. One day in each of the seven
3l-day months is considered an extra
day" From these seven extra days
are subtracted two to MAKE up the diff
ference Ct February. The net total OF
five extra days is required of each
worker for government service in some
form or another.
In turn, the government pays back"
these five days by granting five days
of national holiday: two Ter May day,
two to commemorate the October reVo-
luton and one for the anniversary Of
Lenin's death.
Sundays Forgotten.
Sundays as days of rest and worship
long since have passed. Unlike the
postman who went walking on his day
Off, Workmen in Soviet Russia more and
more are coming to spend their day Of
freedom from factory and office in rest
homes provided by the government.
All ever the Soviet Union numerous
health resorts, Sanatoria and rest homes
are maintained for the treatment and
rest of workers and peasants in ailing
health, but recently new type OF re-
treat has appeared, particularly in Mos
COW, Leningrad and other industrial
centers.
Here, workers in good health 60 to
spend their days of and special holi-
Gays granted them for outstanding per-
formances in line of duty. They average
from II to SO hours each week in these
homes and since every day is rest day
fer one-f1fth of the working population
due to the flve-day week, these homes
never are idle.
Some Homes Free.
Like the others. they supply board
and recreation for nominal chargeS-in
some cases for no charge at all.
On the basis Of applications received
so far it is estimated that some 100000
workers will spend their holidays in this
way during 1881. The government has
assigned 21000.000 roubles (approXi-
mateIy $1O,500,000) for the conStruc-
ton of additional rest hcmes and sana-
toria this year.

Child -
Children in School Need
Full, Wholesome Meals

so elaborate a meal in the morn
ing, but in all events he needs fruit,
cereal and milk.
Lunch should consist of nour-
ishing soup or a vegetable, and
bread and butter, and milk, and
more fruit. If the family dinner
is served then SO much the better,
but a child does not need meat
more than once a day unless We
class bacon as meat. Vegetables,
fruit and milk should always be
emphasized.
In the evening too many families
depend upon meat and potatoes as
the piece de resistance, neglectihg
the vegetables. Vegetables, it must
be remembered, contain the mineral
salts so necessary to life-espec-
tally the leaf vegetables such as
lettuce, spinach, celery, endive and
chard.
Desserts are necessary in one
way as children do need sugar.
Sugar makes energy. But rich
pastry in the evening isn't good
for children of any age. CuStardS,
cake or cookies made of simple
ingredients, fruit whips, ice cream
and gelatines, all make excellent
windups for the family meal.
Coffee and tea will never take the
place of milk for the younger men,
bers. A child needs pint of milk
a day, and if he is young, a quart
in one form or another.
Fruits and vegetables are so cheap
now that it is possible to have quite
variety at little expense.
It is often the case that the
wholesomeness of a meal is in re-
verse proportion to the pocketbook
for women of means quite frequently
overlook the meal-balance, while the
housewife who must watch the pen
MES and make every cent count
watches to see that the food she
| cooks for the children is plain
wholesome and varied. What more
can we ask?
Make them take time to eat and
to chew properly-a meal should be
a peaceful, rather deliberate time
And don't let them go to school on
an empty stomach.
