exaggerated The Bayuio gold
district Of Luzon is a Well-known
producer, though not Of the first
rank, its production having been
about one-tenth that Of the Unit

exaggerated appears likely from
the fact that reports claim the
gold uncovered assays as high as

sible, as gold mines in Canada
have assayed in spots as high as
SIS, 900 ton. A ton of pure gold

A few short years ago, mankind
For want Of light were almost blind,
They had no matches and at night
Were in most pitiable plight.
They struck together steel and flint,
And added cotton, tow, or lint
To coax a flame, but made such clatter
As cooks produce in beating batter;
One time in ten they'd raise spark,
The other nine were in the dark
This state Of things continued long,
And, wanting light, folks still went
wrong,
Till pity, pleading with the devil,
Constrained him to remove the evil.
Accordingly the kind old fellow,
Mixed PHOSPHORUS and sulphur ycl
low,
Spinters then into the mixture dipped,
And their extremes with redlead
tipped.
The work then done he gave three
scratches
And first saw burning friction
Matches.

RADIO INVESTMENT
NOW $1,8o0,00O;000
Industry Has Made Huge Stride in
Is Years, Says Dun
Analysis.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. July 23-The radio
industry, barely Is years old has now
total investment of 81 800, 100000 and
contributes more than S500,0O0,000 an
nually to the national wealth, according
to an ANALYSIS OF the industry in
'Dun's Review published by R.
c. Dun & Co., the oldest and
largest mercantile agency in the
world. 1t pays out $3.50 900 900 each
year for operating expenses, spends
S40,000,000 for entertainers, and pro-
vides entertainment and instruction for
nearly IT, 900 900 homes scattered from
Maine to California.
OF the, invested capital, "Dun'S Re-
view" points out $50 600 900 represents
the investment of radio manufacturers;
s25.oooooo the investment in radio
broadcasting. Sl.600.000,00O in listeners
sets; and S25,000,000 the investment in
commercial radio stations
The retail sales of radio products
have fallen from the record peak in the
last two years. yet this is not an indi-
cation of waning popularity for the
instrument, but rather a sign of intense
preparation for a period Of great
achievement. In fact. the drop in sales
in 1881 to S309.270,0 900, which was a
SO per cent decline from the total of
$500, 0,951 500 recorded for 1880. and a
decrease Of 63 per cent from the S842,-
$4,000 in 1929, which was the record
year for the industry is regarded as
th9 natural sequense of the tumbling
prices caused by the hectic activity dur
ing 1923 and 1929
