On the Chain

When KFYR, Bismarcks modern radio station, joins
the National Broadcasting companys network Saturday
night, it will mean increased enjoyment for . great num-
Der Of persons living in North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and Canada.
The local station, one of the most modern in existence,
is heard much farther than that. of course, but it IS
in the territory within 500 miles Of Bismarck that it is
most easily heard and in which its greatest usefulness
lies. To its thousands Of friends In this great north
western empire. the information that KFYR is to Join
the chain Is good news.
The new arrangement will enable them to sit at home.
even on isolated farms in far Montana and Saskatche-
wan, and hear the best which the modern radio world
has to offer.
The King Of England may talk from London or the
Pope from Rome; an explorer In far Antarctica or an
other at the North Pole, all may be visitors at the rural
firesides as the result OF this development.
Many owners of radio sets already have heard the
king, the Pope and Byrd at the bottom of the world,
to be sure, but not all of the sets in existence are the
most modern kind and the business of getting distance"
is not always as easy as the owners of some sets would
have us believe.
These occasional features, however. are the least i'm
portant of the new service, for radio has come to be an
everyday affair and is accepted as a commonplace. de-
spite the fact that 1t is less than II years old.
The really important thing is that the radio listener
In this area will be able to "pick up Amos n Andy,
0AUtAC ooNA 1AeoASb VS @OAASN0 S~ANNS ANAS~ ~~ ~
chestras which the chain programs offer. with ease, no
matter how %antiquated his receiving set.
Ordinarily, these features may be heard from q dozen
stations, and many radio fans jump from one to the
other with ease and celebrity, but occasionally there comes
a time when interference and unfavorabe conditions
make it desirable for even the distance hunters to stay
closer to home. In such cases, even they will find 1t
handy to have KFYR coming roaring in with their
favorite programs.
The recognition which comes to KFYR as the result
Of this development is no trifling matter. So widespread
an organization as the NBC does not take in poorly
equipped stations or those without good regulations. A
station must be able to help the chain increase its
audience or its application will grow musty in a pigeon
hole.
The enterprise and perseverance of the management
of the local station Is laudable. Starting modestly, it
has built up an enterprise of which Bismarck may well
be proud.
On this occasion. when western North Dakota's best
radio station is thus signally honored, The Bismarck
Tribune, North Dakota,s oldest newspaper, takes pleas
ure in extending its congratulations.

Easier Divorces

Competition in the field Of business grows more intense
every year; but what are We to think of the growing
competition in the divorce business?
The number Of divorces issued to American men and
women rises each year. The granting of these divorces
has lucrative sidelines; there are court fees and lawyers
fees, and if the ~litigants are non-residents there is
money in it for the hotel keeper, the grocer. the baker
and almost everybody else.
So it is that this year actually sees a spirited competi-
ton for new business on the part Of various centers
where divorces can be obtained without too much diff
ficulty.
Arkansas has enacted divorce laws quite similar to
slipping away from it.
But there is plenty Of other competition. Havana IL
now preparing to offer quick and easy divorces to all who
have the price. Lawyers who have studied Cuban laws
say that all an American need do is go to Havana early
enough to have a transcript made Of hts marriage GER
tificate and give power Of attorney to a lawyer, to whom
he confides the evidence in the case. He then goes back
home and waits for the courts to do their stuff.
The ease with which Mexican divorces can be obtained
IS well known. 1t is even reported that Mexican attorneys
in New York arc promising that they. too, will be able Il
get divorces by mail. for a consideration. And, Of course
when Mexico, Havana and Reno fail. there is always
Paris.
Evidently the granting of divorces is becoming a major
industry, for which cities and states find it well worth
their while to bid. Just what sort Of reflection all Of
this may be on the state Of civilization in the United
States you can decide for yourself. It is hardly q situa-
ton that can be easily laughed off; and just what the
remedy may be is something that calls for q good deal
Of serious study.

Color in Margarine
Question: Mrs. j. D. K. asks:
What is the coloring supplied with
oleomargarine? Are butter substi-
tutes injurious?"
Answer: Most margarine manu-
facturers use annatto for coloring
their product. Capsules of this col
oring matter are supplied with mar
garine so that the housewife may mix
the coloring in, herself, as the mar
garine manufacturers are not allowed
to artificially color their products the
same as the butter people do. An
other coloring matter used is dande-
lion butter color. This is sometimes
furnished in powder form along with
the margarine you buy. Some mar
garine is naturally yellow. due to the
natural yellow color of the fats used
in it's manufacture. All butter sub
| stitutes now being sold are perfectly
wholesome and have a high f0o6
value.

@. When there are two street car
companies in a city, and the same
tokens are used by both, how do they
divide the profits? A. M. S.
A. This situation exists in Wash
ington, D. c., and is handled as fol-
lows: Before the tokens were placed
on sale they were equally divided be-
tween the companies. At regular in
tervals an inventory of tokens on
hand is made and an equal division
of the combined stock arrived at by
one company purchasing from the
other, at the regular token rate of
fare, a sufficient number to restore
the balance. When tokens are sold
by either company. the amount re-
ceived from such sales is credited to a
suspense account-not to passenger
revenue. Token sale receipts become
passenger revenue only as the tokens
are received as fares. When the tok-
ems are received as fares, the suspense
account is charged and passenger re-
ceiptS credited. If n company sells
the tokens and, by reason of the fact
that they are used on the other COM
pany's cars, they pass into the pos
session of the other company; this
condition results in an unequal bal
ance of tokens between the compan-
les, which is corrected at the adjust
ment period by the first company
purchasing tokens from the second
company.

@. What city was known as the
city of wooden chimneys? F. j. B.
A. Suffolk, Virginia, had a build
ing boom about the middle of the
Eighteenth Century and many CHM
neyS were built of wood because the
supply Of brick was not equal to the
demand. Suffolk thereupon became
famous as the city of wooden Chin
neyS.
