President Declares
&c. {. Will Prevent
1e|eviision Monopoly
=, Agency Making Study
Of New Industry,
He DiscIoses

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference today the Federal Com
munications Commission was study
Ing the television question from the
standpoint of preventing monopolis-
tic control of this new industry.
He said, in discussing his confer
ence yesterday with F. c. C. Chair
man James Lawrence Fly, that the
agency was proceeding slowly, so as
to be certain the new art should
have the same kind of competition
as that in the radio and automobile
industries.
The F. c. c. does not want one
company to control all sending, Mr..
Roosevelt added. He said that in
the course of this spring and sum-
mer the problem would be worked
out.
A large majority of the COM
panies, he said, do not want the in
dustry monopolized.
Testimony that the F. C. c. ac-
ton in halting limited commercial
ization of television had curtailed
television research was given yes
terday afternoon at the hearing be-
fore the commission.
Alfred H. Morton, vice president
Of the National Broadcasting Co.
In charge of television, said work
was substantially accelerated" on
program study and preparation for
television use. He reported 83 en-
ployes engaged on this program re-
search at the time of the commits
sion's latest order.
Mr.. Morton said plans were never
put into effect, because it was not
considered sound business practice
to continue to spend large sums of
money on this phase of television
until there was some definite in
formation as to whether the COM
mission would insist on continuing
Its suspension of its limited COM
mercialization rule or rescind it.
He said that the financial burden
on the corporation already was
heavy and the officials could see no
point in continuing the expense.
He told the commission that COM
liberalization would result in sub
stantial program research, to find
the best outlet programs for tele-
vision.
New Station Forecast.
Chairman Fly, during the course
OF presentation of the Radio
Corp. Of America case, announced
that the commission has in
mind granting promptly an ap-
plication of the Du Mont Labora-
tories for a pew television station
In New York, to which Frank w.
Wozencraft, general solicitor for
r. c. A., responded that his cor
poration welcomed this information.
Du Mont interests, backed by Para
mount Pictures, is a strong sup
porter of the commissions latest
action, having another system.
The commission was told of a
plan to construct series of radio
relay stations to carry chain pro-
grams between New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington.
which was stopped Immediately
upon receipt of the commissions
suspension order. Mr.. Fly wanted
to know if the corporation intended
to hold these in abeyance, or wheth-
er 1t would construct the stations
and have them ready if television
commercialization were authorized.
Mr.. Wozencraft said that r, C. A.
did not contemplate resuming plans
for the construction of stations until

LOSS BY FIRES

Fires Are Preventable, Expert

By PROF. j. B. RODGERS

versity of Idaho.)
Loss from rural fires averages
$500 every minute of the day, loss
the village home owner or farmer
might reduce by his own efforts.
The farmer in particular, he points
out, must be his own building in
spector, coming officer and in an
emergency his own fireman and fire
chief. If he does a good job in each
case, he can do much toward reduc-
ing an annual rural fire loss of about
1925, 900, 900.
When possible, farm buildings
should be in line at right angles to
prevailing winds. With this ar
rangement there is less danger of
sparks being carried from one build
ing to another. Roofs of major
buildings should be of fire resistant
material. Chimneys may be cleaned

A system of grounded conductors
gives protection against lightning.
Carelessness in handling lamps and
lanterns, in disposing of ashes, in
storing and handling gasoline and
kerosene and in allowing rubbish to
accumulate where it becomes a fire
hazard accounts for many farm
fires.
The U. S. Engineers report that
many serious rural fires have been
avoided because ladders were at
hand and water or fire extinguishers
were readily available. This is a
safety measure that is always highly
desirable.

Overcrowding Has Effect
On Poultry Cannibalism

While feather picking, cannibal
ism, and egg eating are in part the
result of dietary deficiencies, over
crowding is important among the
causes, according to H. w. Titus of
the federal bureau of poultry nutri-
ton. It has been found that feather
picking is less likely to occur if the
diet contains about 20 per cent of
barley or oats.
"Cannibalism" is a term used by
some poultrynen in referring to the
habit sometimes developed by chick
ems of picking one another's toes,
combs, vents, feathers, and other
parts of the body. Used in this sense,
the term also includes feather pick
ing; it is however, more common
to restrict its use to those cases
where blood is drawn
Cannibalism is of most frequent
occurrence in overcrowded focks,
but it may be due to some as yet I'm
known deficiency of the diet because
the feeding of oats and barley ap-
pears to be of some value in pre-
vention. The use of ruby-colored
window panes and ruby-colored cleo
trio lamps in the poultry house is
often a simpler means of prevent
ing cannibalism.
Egg eating is also likely to de-
velop as result of overcrowding
however, the tendency to eat eggs
is markedly stimulated by def
cheney of calcium in the diet.

Worm-Free Chicks
Safer From Colds

Danger of colds in the poultry
flock will be lessened by keeping
the birds free from worms. Colds
and worms often run hand in
hand, since worms lower body
resistance.
Watch the droppings and ex-
anime the intestinal tract of birds
dressed for eating. If worms are
found, treat the flock with indi-
vidual worm capsules. A num-
Der of satisfactory worm expel-
lers are now available on the
market.
After treatment, thoroughly
cleanse and disinfect the poultry
house. Remove and burn all drop
pings or scatter them in far
away field. Also keep the birds
confined for So hours.
Birds with colds should be pro-
tected against drafts and over
crowding, and fed a balanced ra-
ton.

Burn Out Stumps

Old stumps can be burned out with
the use of saltpeter. First, put
hole two inches in diameter deep
into the stump with a drill or hot
iron. Drop two ounces of saltpeter
into this hole and fill to the top with
water. Plug up the hole entrance
and leave until the liquid has been
absorbed into the wood. Then fill
the hole with paraffin or fuel oil and
set on fire. If enough of the chem
ical has been used, the fire should
burn until the stump is consumed.

Tin of Sunshine

The idea that sunshine can be
canned, like beef or peas, seems
preposterous. But sunshine has
been bottled in Florida and taken
by plane to New York, where it
was released.
This is how it was done. The
sunshine was held in a lumines-
cent powder already in the bottle,
and frozen in liquid air. 1t was
then sealed and taken to New
York, where the glass tube was
thawed by being placed in wa
ter. AS. the air melted, those
watching were astonished to see
the powder glow brilliantly and
throw off sufficient heat to fry a
piece of fish.
