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-

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

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

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.

“That is to say, 1 feel sorry for

“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.

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-

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

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.

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

Travel Long Distance
To Attend State College
Records for having traveled the
farthest distance to attend the twen-
tieth annual Summer Session of the
Pennsylvania State College, go ito
Miss Louisa Palmer, a young school
teacher from the sun-baked sands of
Honolulu, and a young physician,
Glenn E. Stevens, from the Univer-
sity of Prague, Czechoslovakia, who
has just completed four years of
medicine and will receive his bachelor
degree from Penn State at the Sum-
mer Session commencement next
month. Mr. Stevens, whose home is
in Scranton, Pennsylvania, completed
the pre-medical course at Penn State
in 1920 and has just recently grad-
uated in medicine from Prague Uni-
versity. Miss Palmer, a native
American, is head of Hanahauole
school in Honolulu. She is enrolled
in the Institute of Progressive Edu-
cation at Penn State.
Controlling Oil
The great oil producers of the coun-
try having failed in their efforts to
regulate production in the United
States, have turned their attention to
the world situation, and a part of a
ship load of oil kings have gone to
Europe, evidently for the purpose of
checking up on the world trust.
There will likely be a distribution of
territory to be occupied by the great
producers in Russia and the Orient.
There are still lots of ways of skin-
ning a cat!
