LISTENERS NEGLECTFUL OF EXPRESSING OPINIONS Cincinnati Station Finds Reports Falling Off, Except When Offer of Gift Is Made. Special Dispatch to The Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July radio fans growing lax in applauding or showing appreciation of their fa- vorfte station broadcasts? Since the beginning of the summer season station WSAI of the United States Playing Card Company, Cin- cinnti, has experienced a considerable falling off of reports, which was at- tributed to unfavorable atmospheric conditions by Paul A. Greene, man- ager of the station. Occasional DX reports indicated that the ation was being h rd at a distance, but the volume of cards and letters was sur- isingly small. P v days ago a mew issue of pho- hs and matter descriptive of the station was offered to radio lis- teners who requested it. A mail six times heavier than had been received on any one day for the past three months was the result of the an- nouncer's offer, proving conclusively, according to C ene, that listeners are Teceiving broadcast programs, but are neglecting ti report to stations as much as the formerly did, unless it is for the purpose of getting some- thing in return. “If radio fans realized the value of reports to broadcasting station Said Greene, “they would possibly Mmake more of an effort to/let oper- Ators of the station know how pro- frams are being received. Listener: reports are the only means whereby stations can learn of possible mechan- 2l defects. They also aid broad- casters in learning what kind of pro- grams the radio audience desires.” .

The most important point to re- member about storage batteries is that they cannot be expected to do ef- ficient work if they are not properly taken care of. Don't be afraid to use the hydrom- eter at frequent intervals. A hydrom- eter costs less than 50 cents. If you take care of it and use it often it will save you many times its cost in help- ing you to keep your battery in good condition. Don't allow the battery to become completely discharged before charg- ing it again. It you have a source of current in the 'house, .whether the source be direct or alternating cur- rent, get a charger so that you can charge the battery at home. The charger will pay for itself in a very short time, in the saving of charging fees for the battery and the rental fees that are charged by the battery service station while they are charg- ing_your battery. With a charger you can recharge a battery for 10 cents or less as against the 75 cents charged by most battery service stations. The fact that you have the charging device handy will also do much to keep the battery in better condition because you can keep the battery fully charged all the time by charging it as soon as it reaches the half dis- charged condition. Charging the bat- tery a little at a time, but at frequent intervals, is better for the battery than waiting till it is completely dis- charged and then giving it a long charge. Remember that water evaporates. You would never think of going very far without drinking, yourself, or of allowing the water in your car's rad- iator to evaporate without replacing jt. Have the same consideration for your storage battery by making sure that the level of the electrolyte is at least one-fourth inch above the tops of the plates by adding water whei over the level of the electrolyte gets dangerously close to the tops of the plates. Distilled water does not cost very much. Don’'t be pennywise and pound foolish by using ordinary water in your storage battery. The impurities in. the water will soon damage your battery. You may be able to drink the water from the city mai; out feeling any bad effects. Eiz‘"y'éfli battery i bats Yy is more particular than you Don't allow on charge for any freely, take i and ailow it to cool ofr. on’'t bend the leads f; tery terminals together to et spark.

The hydrom- e best test t. condition of the battery, 1T0 °Ut the Open Vents for Gas. Before charging the battery open the vents by removing the caps so that the gasses may escape without trouble. After charging, after add- ing water or after testing the ceMls Wwith a hydrometer, be sure to the vent caps. Neglect of ‘this®rma, tion may spell the ruin of a good suit of clothes, a rug or, worse still, a burn on your face or body. - 9 roug] an acciden! 80 the acid is ‘spilled on' clothine o rugs, immediately wash the affected parts with ammonia or a solution of ::‘kd“l;‘n;Odpflr.

A short- circuited storage battery can produce very large currents which will burn wire and ordinary insulation and cause a fire. A little care in the use of leads will go a long way toward making such an occurrence impossi- ble.

Correspondence of The Star and the Ohicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924. TOKIO, June 21.—Great interest and enthusiasm attended the announce- ment several months ago that the government would permit the instal- lation and use of radio sets through- out the empire. Many applicants for permits quickly put in their bids with the department of communications, while both Japanese and foreign firms stocked up ready to supply the expect- ed large market. The failure of the imperial Japanese government to open the air of the islands to this greatest modern means of communication has been a source of great disappointment in recent years, as Ameri gland and other wost- ern countries have forged ahead. Not only has it had a retarding effect on the growth of a better system of com- munications here, but thie people have been denied one of the most amazing and satisfactors means of personal en- »yment and improvement. The wpparent reluctance of the gov- ernment to permit the universal use of the radio in Japan is attributed to the cautious—nay, almost suspicious tude of the army and navy authorit who seem to fear that the use of such a device might result in secret plottings against the security of the country or the interception of secret messages. That such an attitude is both foolish and unwarranted goes without saying. Caution Predominates. However, the fact remains that this cautious attitude still predominates, Although six months have elapsed since the decision to permit the use of the radio outfits, it is reported that no actinn has been taken on any of rE 192 the 25 applications for broadcasting licenses that have been filed, while several seeking permission to operate recelving sets with a view to possibly picking up broadcastings from Shang- hai have been denied this privilege. Today there is not a single radio in use in Japan. I left the United States just before the radio came out almost three years ago, and have yet to see either a broadcasting station or re- ceiving outfit and have the privilege of listening in. Thus it would seem that Japan is falling down on one of the biggest attributes to proving its position as a modern power. For One Permit. According to reports from the de- partment of communications, it is planned at first to issue only one per- mit for installation of a broadcasting station to the person or firm ready to establish the most powerful sta- tion. Thus 24 other applicants ready to promote the spread of radio com- munication throughout the empire will be denied that privilege. The au- thorities are said to be planning ac- tion within a few weeks. Another item on which the depart- ment of communications comes in for well justified adverse criticism is the failure to expand the telephone system in_keeping with the rapidly growing demand. Today thousands of applications for the installation of phones in business houses and resi- dences lie neglected in department pigeonholes, with no apparent effort to act on them. The result is that enormous sums are paid by appli- cants for the “privilege” of having installed in their offices or homes telephones which some other party might dispense with. The sums thus paid often run into thousands of ven. In fact, to have a telephone In Tokio, or any otther part of Japan for that matter, bespeaks luxury and afflu- ence. Order for Telephones. The report that a large order for telephone equipment had been placed with a firm in KEngland recently caused many to hope for early relief of this trying situation. But the au- thorities ‘are reported to have said that realization of these hopes is still in the far distance—perhaps two or three years hence. Before the disas- ter of last September there were 54,- 000 telephones in use in Tokio. To- day there are only 40,000. The department of communications expects to increase this number to 64,000—still 20,000 below the pre- disaster figure—by the end of next March, it is reported. ~The order placed with the English firm was for 24,000 automatic telephoges, and none of these will be installed until after the present program is com- pleted Slow Development Reawon. The reason for the slow develop- ment of the telephone,system is said to be the apparent unwillingness of the Diet approve the necessary appropriations. The government has a monopoly on communications as well as a practical monopoly on rail- ways. It might be pointed out that the government railways have not suffered in this respect. Huge sums are being expended in expansion and electrification, with the result that th apanese railways are highly praised by all transportation experts visiting Japan. Among those declar- ing the railways of Japan to be the best in the Orient is Harry E. Byram of Evanston, Ill., president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad who recently visited the Far Eas Meantime, while expansion of the telephone system, unscrupulous firms and persons pos- ing as telephone brokers collect huge sums for securing for badly incon- venienced firms and persons the “privilege” of having a telephone installed. thousands await SOAP SPECIAL We want every woman to find out for herself why more P & G The White Naphtha Soap is sold than any other laundry soap in America.

Like every woman, her primary ambition was to marry. Most of the girls of her set were married—or about to be. Yet not one possessed more grace or charm or love- liness than she. And as her birthdays crept gradually toward that tragic thirty-mark, marriage seemed farther from her life than ever. She was often a bridesmaid but never a bride. * * * That's the insidious thing about halitosis (unpleasant breath). You, your~ self, rarely know when you have you. . And even your closest friends won't tell Sometimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated organic dis- order that requires profes: nal advice. But usually—and fortunately— halitosis is only a local condition that yields to the¥egular use of Listerine as 2 mouth wash and gargle. It is an interesting thing that this well-known antiseptic that has been in use for vears for surgical dressings, possesses these unusual properties as a breath deodorant. Tt halts food fermentation in the mouth and leaves the breath sweet, fresh and clean. Not by substituting some other odor but by really removing the old one. The Listerine odor itself quickly disappears. So the systematic use of Listerine puts you on the safe and polite side. Your druggist will supply you with terine. He sells lots of it. It has dozens of different uses as a safe antiseptic and has been used as such for a half a century.
