Falling this device, I shall talk on ether.” Mr. Hoover promised his aid in pre- venting monopolies, censorship and taxes on receiving sets, adding that it was his business to see that noth- ing happens to the ether that dis- turbs its otderliness and its rapid development. He said In part: “Up to a few vears ago, no one dreamed that the ether had any pe- cial importance in law or in govern ment. It was surely inert from th noint of view of public interest. Then it was discovered that radio messages are transmitted by an electrical wave through the ether. At once the ether developed some very important public questions like water rights and land | rights. It threatens even to have property values. It has become the vehicle of public services, the possi- | ble scene of monopolies; it has boun- Aaries, rights of way, rules of the road, 'raises questions as to free speech—functions that have hitherto heen confined to the land and the are literally 20,000 “DANDERINE" Girls!

At the same tima we must be careful to give & féason- able continulty of service to a broad- casting station so as to warrant its erection and support. “I certainly am Gppossd to the kov. ernment undertaking any censorship even with the present limited number of stations,” adding, “it is better that these ques- | tions should be @eterminéd by the 570 different broadcasting stations than by any government official. These stations natufally are en- | deavoring to please their listeners ! and thus there is an indirect censor- { ship by the public.

In view of the fight in the open previous to the introduction of this measure, further conflict at the hearings is anticipated. Senator R. B. Howell of Nebraska presented a bill “reaffirming the use of the ether for radio communication or otherwise to be the inaltenable possession of the people of the United States and their government and for other purposes.” This bill. recently teported favorably by the Senate com- mittee on Interstate commerce, seeks © establish two years as a maximum for licenzes of broadcasting and other adlo stations, as opposed to the max- mum time of ten years alloted under the White bill It also provides that the President may, in time of war or | emergency, terminate license privi- leges.

It Is Qur Policy To inspire the confidence of the public. To offer for sale only such articles that we believe are the highest value for the dollar spent. That when we offer an article for sale we feel that we complete a contract between the manufacturer and the purchaser. With this in mind we will not handle any article which we fesl the list price is too high. If the manufacturer has overpriced his goods so that they are generally “Cut” or “Gyped,” we believe the public can never be sure of value received. We know that there will always be “Cut Rate” or “Gyp" radio stores, and will at times actually sell a standard article at “less than cost.” This is ons way to attract the public and at the same time offer other goods which are scemingly cut but actually make up many times over the advertised reduction. The public is rapidly becoming aware of this condition. ‘Whenever possible to give the public a greater value or make a reduction, we will do so, but never “‘cut” a list price. We will first reduce the list price. Due to Our Increased Capital and Greater Sales We have reduced our list prices from 257 to 50% on small parts and supplies, wire (an- tenna, ground. inside and buss bar), insula- tors, birding posts, etc. Our “Supersensitive” head phones. manufactured expressly for us, have been sold by the thousands, and naturally the cost of manufacturing has been reduced even though the phones are improved. Under small production and sales this phone would have to sell for at least $5.00, and we take a great pleasure in announcing the new price of $2.95. Our Entire Line Is Priced Right And is based erftirely on production costs, which have been reduced accordingly by the manufacturer.
