a much wider use of radio among
farmers"
The principal advantages of
air cell receivers over previous
types of battery sets, in addition
to tone quality comparable to
modern electric radio receivers,
is the elimination of storage bat
teries and the expense and
trouble of frequent recharging
which they entailed.
Using a revolutionary type of
"breathing battery" for "A" cur
rent, the new sets are said to
give the rural dweller the same
type Of radio service previously
enjoyed only by persons in cities
where electric current is avail
able.
Although developed a little
more than a year ago. the new
type sets for farm use are today
being made by all leading radio
manufacturers.

the rolls all those who do not come
within the 90-day service period
In reporting on the bill in its origi-
nal form, when it called for six months

mean reduction In the number of
cases retired with pay from S6,451 to
approximately $3,400 at an annual saw
ing Of approximately $3,175,000. These
estimates necessarily will be changed
by the committee amendment reducing
