TELEVISION IS
PROGRESSING

Columbus, Ohio-Mass production
of television receiving sets, to bring
down the prices, and a little CONNER
cial pushing, is about all that now
stands in the way of the long-antici-
pated arrival of television in the aver
age American home, National Broad
casting Company engineers told the
Third Annual Broadcasting Engineer
ing Conference here recently.
That the public will buy the sets
when they are made available at
mass production price levels has been
established, they said. An expert
ment was conducted at Newburg and
Poughkeepsie, New York in which the
price of the large receivers, with a
12-inch picture, was reduced from
5000 to 1896 and the small receivers,
9-inch picture from $495 to 1926. The
number of sets rose from an estimate
of two or three to about $50. Recep-
ton in these communities selected as
TYPICAL economically, was found to
be adequate, although they are about
IS miles from the NBC transmitter.
NBC recently inaugurated series
of questionnaires in which listeners
were asked to grade types of pro-
grams and reception. Twenty-one
per cent reported that they listened to
all transmissions, which average 10
to IL hours per week. Important
point to NBC engineers, however, is
that 87.1 per cent listen for at least
half the time, or five to six hours per
week.

Fair, GOOD, and 3-Excellent,

FARM
Tories
YOUNG FARMERS
NEED INCENTIVE
Youth Must Be Sold on
Rural Life.
By EUGENE L. SPARROW

Through some hokus-pocus, char
acterizations of city life usually are
taken from the exceptionally fortu-
nate examples but the examples Of
country life are drawn from the
Tobacco Road" and "Grapes Of
Wrath" strata.
This custom Of comparing the best
Of urban life with the worst of rural
existence is an injustice to farm
boys and girls and a threat to the
welfare of the nation. Young men
and women exposed through forma-
tive years to literature, art, NOV
les and drama which distorts the
true picture of city and country are
likely to believe they can be happy
only where success is measured in
terms Of millions.
The glare of city millionaires hides
slums and poverty that are more
typical of great cities than the inn
menSe wealth so often cited. The
average amount of property accu-
mulated by farmers is greater than
the average for city workers.
Rural parents can counterfeit the
publicity favorable to city life by
teaching their children to share ear
ly in the responsibilities and the re-
wards of farm life. Encouragement
for the boy or girl to raise live
stock, gardens, or crops, and owner
ship of the profits help in making
farming brighter for children.
Mechanical farm equipment has
reduced the need for hand labor on
farms and for laborers, but factory
equipment likewise has reduced the
number on shop payrolls. Choice of
life in the city or country should
be made by rural boys and girls on
a basis of fact rather than fancy.

Congressman Sasscer
Declares For Bruce
Prince Georges Publisher Pre-.
diets Candidate Will Receive
United Support Of County
Leaders

To the growing list Of state and
county Democratic leaders who have
announced their support Of Howard
Bruce for the Senatorial nomination
has been added the name Of Lansdale
C. Sasscer, Southern Maryland Demo-
cratic Congressman and newspaper
publisher of Upper Marlboro in Prince
Georges County.
Following a survey of the political
situation in his home county, which
he found generally favorable to Mr..
Bruce, Representative Sasscer pre-
dicted that the candidate would re-
ceive the united support of the coun-
tvs Democratic organization.
81 have enjoyed close association
with Mr.. Howard Bruce ever since I
was first elected to the Maryland Sem
ate," Mr.. Sasscer said. During that
period Mr.. Bruce was in intimate con-
tact with the affairs of Maryland, and
7 had innumerable opportunities to
observe his ability, his outstanding
and unselfsh character and his untir-
ing energy.
"Although never holding an elective
Office and remaining in the back
ground, permitting the credit to go to
others, he was always willing, when
called upon, to contribute generously
of his energy and experience in any
matters for the welfare and in the
interest of the people of Maryland.
Through creation and continuation
Of employment in the business which
his resourcefulness built up, through
cordial relationship with his employees,
through his active service in the Char
table Alliance and Community Fund,
and his continued voluntary service to
his State, Mr.. Bruce has probably di-
rectly and Indirectly aided as many
persons as any other Marylander
within the last quarter Of century.
"For these reasons I shall support
Mr.. Bruce in the coming primary"

NERVOUSLY AFFECTED HE

The young man who registered at

then disappeared the next day, leav-
ing behind many valuables, turned
out to be John r. Howard, Jr., of At

brother, James C. Howard.
Following his disappearance from

his whereabouts until it was learned
that a young man answering the de-
scription furnished by John Ries, pro-
prietor, and George Cooper, clerk at
the Louise" had been located in
Bridgeton, N. j., giving away $40
bills. week ago.
Cooper notified State Police and

Bantam Chickens
Prove Profitable

About the smartest creature with
feathers is the bantam chicken. Such
characteristics of bantams as intel
ligence, small size and finally the
practical fact that they produce
eggs has made them favorites in
many sections of the country. Many
families keep a bantam for about
the same reason that they keep Q
dog.
The profit of the breeder and fam
cier is high as compared with MAIN
tenance, as these miniatures only
consume one-fifth as much as the
large breeds. Buyers will pay from
$3.50 to 81 for a setting Of quality
eggs. Breeders sell single birds
from 81 to SIS, while fanciers readi-
ly refuse twice that price.
It's not expensive to house BAN
tams. If they are to be raised on
the ground a yard by IL feet viii
provide ample space for a rooster
and two hens-for breeding pur-
poses. IF housing is for eggs, six or
eight hens can be raised In this same
space.
A number of bantam breeders are
raising their stock on wire flooring.
The same size pen or inclosure is
used but it is raised about two feet
off the ground. All ages develop
well on wire flooring.

HEARING DENTON OFFICE
CASE ON MARCH 10Th

The United States District Court
at Baltimore will hold a hearing
March 20 into the condemnation pro-
ceedings for the new Denton post
office site. A condemnation jury will
examine the site, which is on the vii
lage green, on March 10.
Many prominent residents of Car
oline county have protested the pro-
posed use of part of the village green
for new postoffice. Judge Calvin
Chestnut, however, recently ruled in
Baltimore that the government was
entitled to condemn and take over a
part of the village green which had
been authorized by the town commits
sioners, for the new federal building.
Other sites facing the green and
nearby plots have been offered to the
government.

games, tennis matches, and special

the quality of these remote pick-ups

is evident. Highest rated program of

estimate an increase in that figure
of 10 per cent per week.
