Speak gently: it is better far
To rule by love than fear:
Speak gently: let no harsh word mar
The good we may do here.
Speak gently TO the little child;
It's love is sure TO gain;
Teach 1t in accents soft and mild
It may not long remain.
Speak gently 10 the young, for they
Will have enough 10 bear;
Pass through this life as best they

Speak gently TO the aged one,
Grieve not the careworn heart,
Whose sands OF life are nearly run:
Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently 10 the erring: know
They must have toiled in vain
Pe-chance unkindneSs made them
so:
Oh, win theim back again.
Speak gently: It's a little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep we'll
The good. the Joy, that il may bring

POWER HEARING
PUT OFF BYE. c. c.
Date Fixed for June 6 as a
Number of Stations Ask
for Postponement.
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

Because of numerous economic fac
tors which will affect granting of
high power licenses to certain clear
channel broadcasting stations and the
new list of tentative rules which have
been formulated affecting all broad
casting stations, the Federal Com
munications Commission yesterday di-
rected a postponement in its super
power hearing until June s.
The original hearing date was May
Is, but number of stations informed
the commission they would not have
sufficient data at hand to prepare an
adequate case by that time. The
commission also postponed indetl-
nitely the hearings scheduled on the
applications of certain stations for
super-power permits but decided to
hear the applications of WLW for
renewal of its existing experimental
high power license and of WHO for
an experimental license until the con-
clusion of the super-poWer and rules
hearing June 6.
The commission now is engaged on
tabulating a mass of data sent in by
the broadcasting stations giving de-
tails of their ownership, programs,
salaries and expenses for the last
calendar year, which will be used in
a study of the super-power question
1t also has called for detailed in
formation along the same lines from
all stations covering the week of
March last.
In announcing the hearing post
ponement the commission said it is
intended to conserve expense and time
on the part of both applicants and
other participants interested in the
question of power in excess of 500
kilowatts as we'll as to facilitate prog
ress in the industry as whole.
The new regulations, the commits
sion said are designed to facilitate
progress in the broadcasting art 1t
said, however, that it considered these
regulations tentative in character.

Loading of grain is expected to be 15.2 per cent greater in the third quarter of 1888 than in the same period last year, while for citrus fruit, an in- crease forecast for any of the six An increase of 4.8 percent is ex- pected for live stock in the third quarter of this year compared with the corresponding period of 1937 For flour, meal and other mill pro- ducts, an increase of 1.9 percent is expected, fresh fruits, other than citrus fruits, 1.8 per cent increase and poultry and dairy products four-tenths of one per cent increase
 Largest decreases have been pre- dicted for automobiles, trucks and parts, 67.7 percent; iron and steel 4l per cent; and ore and concen- trates, 40.2 per cent.
