GL|MPSES IN
DETRO|T'S MIRROR
By Sylvia Penn
BY Sylvia Penn

The coal dealers In Detroit got
a break during last winter, but for
the past several days the ice men
have done a big business, because
of the intensely warm weather; but
let's forget the very hot weather
and reflect to you through our
mirror" a few pleasant items
about Detroiters and things.
The insurance men came, saw,
and conquered" the Motor City
last week-conquered, because
they were a bunch of congenial,
likable business men whom De-
troiters took to their hearts. Be
sides the heavy schedule OF bust
ness, some of the social events
rendered these risk" men were:
a breakfast at the Y. w. c. A, CIV
en- by the Supreme Liberty Life
a luncheon, sponsored by the
Great Lakes Mutual Insurance
Company; a smoker for the men,
bridge party for the ladies'; and
a sightseeing tour for all the
visitors.
In this paragraph we tell you
that Miss Pauline McCrary and
julius c. Taylor were quietly mar
ried last Saturday, at the home OF

"Mr. Pelly's Little Home," writ
ten and edited by Horace Mooney;
($2.00). This is a heart-rending
comedy of a little timid man, who
persevered in his good littleness
from a terrified childhood. Mr..
Pelly is an accountant in big cor
poration, picked upon always; an
awkward lover, an adoring hus-
band, church mouse, the prey of
real estate men, banker and con-
tractor, the apparent butt of the
authors fun. But somehow, asfthe
story ends, he emerges as a man,
for all hs shabby clothes and round
shoulders, worthier of our respect
and admiration than the noisy mas
ters of the economic environment
in which, for all his struggles and
fidelity, he has so small share and
so little a place. !. He is Webster's
Timid Soul in fiction.

of development of radio, broadcast
ing started when the Westinghouse
Company applied to the Secretary
of Commerce for license for Sta
tion. KOKA. In granting this sta
tion license, the Secretary of Com
merce determined that a wave
length Of $50 meters would be q
safe place for broadcasting sta
tions because it was far enough
away from frequencies assigned to
ships and shore stations. Shortly
after this time, other broadcast sta
tions were licensed to operate on
this wave length, while others were
given 400 meters. The interfer-
ence problem started, and has been
bone of contention ever since: The
existing law in 1927 expressly, pro-
vides that no one shall be granted
a license to operate a radio broad

that his business is in accord with
