MEYERSDALE COMMERCIAL, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1929 ——_ AMERICA’S RADIO LEAD IN DANGER Gen. J. G. Harbord Sees a Threat to Our Nation’s Place in British Merger. The recent successful effort of the British to bring about consolidation of their cable and radio interests is a serious challenge to the radio suprem- acy of the United States, and of more importance to our country than oil or merchant marine at this mo- ment, according to General J. G. Har- bord, who was chief of staff of the A. E. F. and now is President of the Radio Corporation of America. “Great Britain being the great ca- ble-controlling power of our planet,” General Harbord explained, “the com- bination there of cables and radio im- GENERAL J. G. HARBORD perils American leadership more di rectly than that of any other country. “The answer to this challenge can- not be made by private interests un- der our existing laws. It is for our people to decide whether they think it is worth making, and if so, to make it possible. It is a case where no action, or action much delayed is sur- render; or even worse, aid and com- fort to foreign against American in- dustry.” Other Countries Alert The effect of this advanced system of international communication is a subject of discussion in fie chancel Light Blue Silk Crepe; | Bandings of Dark Blue little frock of light blue silk crepe with bandings of Showing a dainty dark blue crepe. Notable here is the arrangement of the neckline with the two-toned blue crepe trimming run- ning toward the waistline, where it al- most joins the bandings of wider proportions encircling the bottom of the blouse. Similar bandings add to the chic of the plaited skirt and sleeves. A group of self-toned but- tons complete the neckline trimming. A light blue hat and blue kid slippers are worn. Complexion Shades in Stockings for Women The new shades in which stockings are made are causing much comment. It seems generally agreed that the most popular this season will be the complexion shades. Many, of very sheer chiffon, come in dark beige, tan and a sun-tan tone. These are to be worn with frocks of the new gay prints fabrics, which have touches of red, orange, beige, brown or any other allied colors. For wear with the tailored costumes the dark brown tones are most appropriate, their very 2 2 4+ ali A CT < gl 2 2% (AS MARY G BONNER. —ie COPYRIGHT BY WESTEEN NEWSPAPER UNION ees —— THE ICE BOX “] feel sorry for you,” said the fur- nace to the ice box. “Here you are so cold and you haven’t even enough warmth about you to make the ice melt quickly as it does in the summer time. “You have to be so cold always, even in winter you have to be cold. “That is the saddest of all. In the summer I'm not so very warm as I'm put out, but as soon as a cold day comes I am ready to be lighted, and then I am so warm. “Poor old ice box, sympathy. “That is to say, 1 feel sorry for you, terriby sorry, poor old ice box.” “Now look here, furnace,” said the ice box, “don’t feel so sorry for me that you can’t tell the truth. “I'm not so old. I am only two years old. You are really far older.” “I agree, and I admit that what you say is true,” said the furnace. “And, really, anyone could tell I was older, for I am so much wiser. “] wouldn’t be such a silly, giddy young thing as to be cold. “T would know enough to have plenty of coal on my fire so as to keep warm.” you have my “Ah, furnace, you mustn’t boast too |. much,” said the ice box. “I've heard the family having trouble with you. “There are days, sometimes the cold, cold ones, too, when you won’t burn. “I've even known you to go out sometimes. “And, oh, how you have made the family shiver. You have behaved like a naughty person. “You wouldn’t go when you were supposed to go. You have made them fuss over you and fuss over you.” “And why shouldn’t they fuss over me?” asked the furnace. “I’m the fur- nace, I am the great and warm and powerful furnace. “I keep the whole house warm. I keep all the people in it warm.” “But you don't keep them warm when you go out and when you go 7 12 A] leries bf the world, General: Harbord says, and is not viewed with indiffer- eece by any great nation aspiring to foreign commerce, unless it be the United States. “Communications play an impor- tant part in national defense,” he con- tinues. “This is especially true of radio, and with countries having dis- tant possessions such as the Philip- pines, Alaska and Hawaii or Australia, Canada, South Africa and India.” Great Britain approached this prob- lem with the seriousness its impor- tance demanded, in the opinion of General Harbord, and on March 15 of last year, as a result, the principal communications rivals fh Great Brit- ain, the Eastern Telegraph Company, Limited, representing cables, and the Marconi company, radio, announced a merger in the form of a holding com- pany. The government will have rep- resentation on the board of directors, which with the vote of either the cable or radio interest, will be controlling. ‘The press approved this merger. “This new combined British commu- nications interest will affect American relationships in every part of the world,” General Harbord asserts. “There will hardly be a port or prin- cipal city on the planet which will not be reached by British communica- tions. American trade in every quarter of the globe cannot but be profound- ly affected. The national defense of the United States must reckon with the planetary domination of commu- nications by the British. Such is the result of the action of the farseeing British race under the lash which American progress in radio has ap- plied—a wise old people which cen- turies ago underwent the diseases of national adolescence through which we still are passing. Her politicians abuse one another, as do our owy, but as against the outside world Britain's policy changes little with the advent of one party or another on the politi- cal stage. Hard to Understand “The time when Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany are uniting radio and cables seems to be the time taken by our country to keep them apart. What others unite to se- cure leadership in communications we divide. The long deliberations which preceeded the consummation of the cables-radio merger in Great Britain saw in our country the enactment of the White Act of 1927, which in plain terms forbids any purchase of radio by cables or vice versa. While this provision is understood to have been inserted under the minority lash in the last days of the drafting of the law, its purpose no doubt was to pre- serve the competition, in form at least, between the two methods of interna- tional communication — radio and cables. “Sitting between the hind legs of the British lion with the tail of that noble heast wrapped around his neck f8 a poor perch for the American &agle {rom which to recover lost lead- ership in world communications.” of heaviness or too somber appear- ance. Clocked effects are found in new and interesting designs, some very narrow, others wide enough to covet entirely the ankle bone. For evening wear there are several designs that extend far up on the leg and end with a fancy motif, either conventional or modernistic. > Mesh stockings are made in new weaves that are so exquisitely woven that they look like the one-time popu- lar face veils. Lace or Indian Prints Popular for Trimming Polka dot dresses, often trimmed with lace or India prints are extreme- ly popular in the Lenief collection of costumes, created for the coming summer. Such stuffs as satins, crepes, georgettes, light woolens, heavy silks, in black, white, navy and green are favored. One dinner dress has a panel which can be dropped to form a train; an afternoon dress has a matching cape which can be tried around the waist to form a skirt volant. Short, puffed sleeves and flowers placed at back of waist are among the novelties evolved. Premet goes in for the rather quaint old fashions. Silk alpaca is used for street costumes; skirts are reversible, being plain woolen on one side and plaid silk on the other. The waistline is normal. Martial et Armand are featuring gay colors, with yellows, greens and plaids predominating. Their youthful models show the 1880 silhouette while those for maturer women have softer draping lower waistline. White, Black Favored in Paris for Evening Wear White is most fashionable for Paris evening wear and it is very becoming to dark or auburn hair or near a warm or very white skin, with natural or artificially colored cheeks and ex- pressive features. Bright colored jew- elry, like emeralds, rubies or sap- phires, can be worn as necklace, ear- rings, bracelet or brooch. Black is al- ways very striking when worn with blond hair and brightened up by pearls or diamonds. It is very fash- ionable and it can be effectively en- livened by a colored wrap. Dresses of intense colors, such as scarlet, sap- phire or chartreuse green, are also in vogue and becoming to the same type of woman. Smooth Linings It has been discovered that clothes are almost ruined in weather at all damp by sitting in them for long stretches as one must do at a dinner party or a theater. The only thing which will save them is a perfectly smooth slick lining. For this purpose nothing seems better than rayon fabrics and these are being extensive- ly used for the purpose. “|’ve Even Known You to Go Out.” slowly and when you won’t burn nice- ly,” said the ice box. “That .is to show that I won't let anyone think I'm so unimportant that I don’t have to be noticed and fussed over.” “It shows that sometimes you are very mean, furnace. Important and great and wise and clever creatures don’t have to be fussed over. They're above it.” “Look here, young ice box,” said the furnace, “I don’t want any rules from you. “You are a fine thing to talk about a creature giving warmth. “What warmth do you ever give to anyone, I'd like to know?” “You're right, furnace, I don’t give warmth. But I am not supposed to, and you are. “I am supposed to keep the ice and to make folks cool in the hot sum- mer and make the food keep nice and fresh and cool. “I do my work, I do. “And you should do yours, should.” “I do it, all right, never fear,” said the furnace, though it knew that many a time it had behaved pretty badly. But now it was angry and it went for all it was worth and the ice box chuckled and said to itself: “The people have been saying how cold they were and how badly the fur- nace was behaving and that at this chilly, windy time of the year they needed heat. “Now the furnace is angry and will behave by burning and raging for all it is worth.” And the furnace burned angrily and furiously and how nice and warm the people kept on the chilly spring day, while the ice box felt very proud of itself for having been responsible for making the furnace burn. you Would Want Whole Tree Donna’s mother had been generous with the apples from her only tree, but when one neighbor sent repeatedly for more she remarked, “What will she want next?” Donna, of three years, quickly, “Mamma, she’ll want the tree.” Too Much Nothing Little Emma was crossing the desert with her parents in their high- powered, well-equipped motor. She became unusually silent for a while, and then surprised them by saying: “Mother, I never saw so much noth- ing in all my life.”’—Christian Regis- ter replied RADIO ENTHUSIASTS WELCOME NEW TUBES Radio amateurs have shown a quick response to the new rugged rectifier Radiotron with a low and constant voltage drop which just has been put on the market by the Radio Corpora- tion of America. The new tube, Ra- diotron UX-866, is of the hot-cathode, mercury vapor type, and the makers assert it is establishing a new stand- ard of performance for the amateur transmitter operating with a rectified plate supply. * A four electrode, screen grid tube, with new features. It is ample in current capacity and, in half or full wave circuit connec- tions, is especially suited for supply- ing the transmitter with stable recti- fied plate voltage—key up or key down. It operates at relatively low temperature, and no starting me- chanism is required. Two other interesting new tubes which just have been introduced by the ‘Radio Corporation are Radiotron UX-245 and Radiotron UY-224. Radio- tron UX-245 is a power amplifier tube for supplying large undistorted out- put to the loud speaker, It is capable of delivering a. power output equal to that of the UX-210, but at a plate volt- age not exceeding 250 volts. The tube can be used only with apparatus espe- cially designed for it 5 ? sv din and is intended | NORTHAMPTON NEWS July 15—A number of folks from this place attended bush meeting at Wittenburg last Sunday evening.

FELLOWSHIPS FOR RADIO LAW WORK A striking illustration of the rapid growth in the radio field is seen in the recent announcement by the Radio Corporation of America of three fel- lowships of $1,500 each at Columbia University Law School to provide fof an additional year of study of the in- tricacies of Federal laws, especially those pertaining to radio problems. The board of trustees at the uni- versity has approved and the fellows will be chosen soon to start work next Fall. The awarts are offered for one year only as an experiment.
