The decrease in the untitled tonnage

The drop in untitled steel orders was
larger than had been expected and it
served as sharp reminder that tho

so pronouncedly as usual at this time

into account. The market was not

DE FOREST COMPANY
TO BRING 100000
Manufacturing Concern to Be Sold
to R. c. A. Unless Proceeding
Is Halted.

One OF the many radio manufacturing
concerns forced out OF business by the
depression, which has slashed radio
sales fully SO per cent despite the con-
tlnued demand for small receiving sets.
the De Forest Radio Co. of Passaic, N.
j., will be sold to Radio Corporation of
America for 100000 under an order of
the Federal District Court in Newark
unless the sale is halted by protesting
stockholders.
Radio Corporation Of America offered
its bid in competition with the Hygrade
Sylvanla Corporation of Emporium. Pa,
which offered S350,000 for the entire
plant and its rights and assets. The
Radio Corporation of America bid did
not embrace cash On hand or accounts
receivable. Patent rights of the De
Forest company were stated at ST. De
Forest also controls the Henkins Tele-
vision Corporation, pioneer developers Of
visual radio.
The De Forest company was founded
with DR.. Lee De Forest, inventor of the
radio tube and often called the father
of modern radio, as one of its officers
But DR.. De Forest later severed his con-
nections with the concern entirely and
now resides in California. 1t was this
company, strengthened by certain pat
ent rights and agreements held by DR..
De Forest, that several years ago won
settlement of long patent suit with
Radio Corporation of America for a
sum said at the time to be fully
S1.O00,O0O.
That Radio Corporation of America is
in a position to purchase was indicated
by its 1882 annual report, which
showed current assets at the end of the
year as amounting to nearly $40 900, 900,
of which nearly $25,000,000 was cash.
The corporation, largest In the radio
field, showed net loss Of S1,133, ,586 for
1892, however, as compared with q net
income Of $786,903 In 1881.

one were preparing to operate a fire
eXtinguisher. The job is done without
any apparent thought for the distance
through which the button operates
Wiser drivers slip the second and third
fingers of the right hand over the back
Of the button and place the thumb of
this hand on the face Of the button.
In this way they are more apt to
measure the choke movement. Also
when the button is pushed in far
enough, so that the fingers touch the
dash, the choke is in the correct posi-
ton for warming up the motor just
after the start is made.
Another thing to remember is to
avoid becoming panicky when the car
acts as if it were not going to step
in time to avoid colliding with those
ahead. Remember that as you near
the object to be avoided the rate Of
deceleration of the car increases. You
do not need an engineer in the family
to understand this. The braking force,
let US say, remains the same during
the entire process Of stopping, but as
car slows down its momentum decreases.
The car therefore slows down at an
increasingly rapid rate.

SURVEY COMPLETED
ON CHILDREN'S RADIO

NEW YORK. March 18 (R.-Replies
to a QUESTIONABLE on children's radio
programs as received from 90 mothers
of II boys and 63 girls lead the Child
Study Association of America to advise
that there appears much fair minded
criticism" as well as "a desire to utilize
radio for the enrichment of home liv-
ing"
While drawing no general conclusions
due to the brevity of the survey, the
association makes these statements
among numerous others:
"Only 18 parents declared for un-
qualified disapprovaP' of radio, "a small
number feel radio is simply negative"
while "a good many seemed to desire
both to laud and to condemn. Several
say they do not object to radio In itself
as much as In the crowding out of
achievements and creative interest"
Among children who follow continued
programs, preferences run strongly TO
dramatic sketches and comedy pro-
grams. In general they like programs
designed for adults better than those
for children performed by children
Their preference over both is in favor
Of programs by adults designed particu-
larly for children"

than to be in doubt himself as to what
he should do with a violator. Had she
realized this, woman who started to
make a right turn on the red light,
which is not permitted in the particular
city where this happened, would have
acted more wisely. Instead of immedi-
ately backing up when the officer
whistled to her, she stood still as If
waiting for him to weaken. 1t was like
playing with fire. He considered the
hesitation double violation and pre-
sented her with a nice new ticket.
Blame the man in the party for this
bit CT nonsense. He had tried to get
around blockade in the road and ran
the two left wheels CT his own car into
a soft ditch. Next he ordered the wife
to take the drivers seat and race the
motor in low gear. I slowed down a
moment to see what he was going to
do and got a laugh out of 1t when
beheld him standing on ledge to the
left of the car trying to push up the
top. He was merely Tightening the
load and thus causing the wheel to
spin the more. 1t was towing job
from the start, and I imagine it was

I've seen a lot Of women do queer
things with the choke, but not until the
ether day did I see milady walk into
repair shop with the choke control in
her hand. 1T came right off," she ex-
planned.
Those things happen in the best
regulated cars. But that isn't why I'm
recording the incident. I was more
surprised at the counsel of the me-
chanic, who was evidently too busy to
worry ever what his customer did for
amusement. Learning that she had
already started the motor before the
accident, he advised her to go ahead
using the car. but not to park it too
long in the cold
That's dangerous advice. Many a
time have had to use the choke to re-
crank the motor in thick trafic-and
with other cars coming at me. Any
| thing that contributes toward powering
the car is just as important as the
brakes or the steering.
Speaking Of the choke reminds me
to say word about the way-a rather
unthinking way-moet people operate
this important control. The usual
