P. BOYER CO. RADIO—SERVICE ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION 812 13th St. STAR, WASHINGTON, SERVE ON RADI SEISHELONEEDED Millions of Owners Found Unable to Repair Dam- aged Receivers. Now that broadcasting is well devel- oped, insuring sufficlent and regular high-class radio information, news and entertainment for years to come, it is perhaps time that some one gave at- tention In a systematic way of caring for or servicing the millions of receiv- ing sets in operation. While many funs are amateur electriclans or at least expert in handling and repairing thelr receivers, millions of them nre almost helpless—let us say—behind the panel. The only thing some lis- teners know is that their sets don’t work well or cease to function. Then they try to get some one to fix them up. There is undoubtedly a necessity for receiving set service. Radio editors, dealers and Depart- ment of Commerce officials bear out the writer in that thousands of letters and phone or personal calls are made esch week either asking for advice or asslstance in fixing sets. A few man- ufucturers and local dealers co-operate with their purchasers to a certain ex- tent, but the Department of Commerce is unable to aid in this respect. Its inspectors are far too busy to be greatly concerned with recefvers: with all the transmitters on the air, which they have to inspect and watch. Sees Source of Income. A radio supervisor suggests that a national servicing organization is now needed. e even offers to join such an enterprise, believing it would be both a blessing to the fans and a source of great income to the pro- jectors. He suggests that membership on the part of the fans would require a payment of only 50 cents a year, which would entitle them to a year's service on a set. It would insure its being kept in first-class condition; in- cidentally. it might eliminate a num. ber of squealing receivers. Imating that in Philadelphia alone there ar milllon recetving sets, the supervisor foresees a fortune in this business. if it is properly or. ganized and operated. Radio officials from all parts of the country join in testifying to its needs and practica- bility. The inspection of receiving sets, by any branch of the Governmegt. is neither provided for in uppropriation; nor permitted, for that matter, Mem. bers of Congress have even frewned upon the mention of such inspection, deeming it an indication or forerunner of licensing such us is practiced in Europe. But every one knows it is the Government’s idea to keep radio free, vernment receiving set i spection and service to the fans, how- ever, it has beew pointed out, would be so beneficial that it might become permissable if funds for such work were available. Money Is Lacking. However, such is not the case; there is no money for it, and no champion of the radio public in Congress seems bold enough to recommend legislatio establishing such service. Naturally it would entail great additional work on the part of the small fleld force of radio inspectors. It such a service was organized, how would we pay? One system of collecting & Government fee suggested was payment by the use of u_spectal stamp procurable at all post offices for about 50 cents to cover the estimated annual fees. This plan would, of course, require congressional action and might be held too advanced. or not practical. There are many individuals, neverthe less, who advocate it either as an added activity of the radio section or through the organization of a private organization backed by the radio in- dustry and the fans: which would. of course, require no Government sanc- tion. There 1s, of course, 2 third solution; that is, that the manufacturers all maintain’ service stations in the prin- cipal cities, or combine interests and operate jont service stations. One part manufacturer who tried out free servicing in several cities is said to have gained a most popular and prof- itable following. From Los Angeles comes the perti. nent thought—after all, it is not what vou hear, but how clearly you hear, that really counts in radio.

C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1925. JOANN A “The Gracious Gift of God” By H. L. GATES (Continued from Yesterday’s Star.) CHAPTER XXIV. Old Memories. In the house Joanna called her but- ler and inquired if any message, & telegram or cablegram, had arrived for her. The servant assured made- moiselle none had. If John was com ing or, as she understood from the conversation she had overheard, he was already some place near in the south of France, he had sent her no word. She knew he was in London. He had written from there, his usual let- ter, glowing with the details of his reception by British architects, telling of some of his plans, and restrainedly affectionate. He had saild he would “run _down” to the Mediterranean soon, but had mentioned no time. She made sure of this omission by hunt- ing out his letter and reading it again. She heard Yvonne come in from the grounds and found a reason for seek- ing her. They had not been together since the closing hour of the affair at Prince Michael's the night before. They had returned to Villa Amette in different parties and Joanna had re- tired at once. Yvonne seemed to nourish no mem- ory of what must have been her chagrin when the whisper went around at Michael's that the Golden Girl had stolen the prince away to a rendezvous that required less possi- bility of intrusion than that afforded by many palm-hung nooks on his own estate. She talked of some of the details of the night before, and didn't mention that she knew of John's com- ing or arrival. “Roddy turned up this morning after you had gone,” she remarked, “and was in a fearful fret. 1 gave him what consolation I could, which didn’t satisty him. I suggested he join us for tea at the Hermitage. 1 am supposed to drop in there on Michael. You will come along?" Joanna agreed enthusiastically. “I must make some amends to Roddy, she observed. She didn't add that she was glad of the opportunity to settle the gossip over her and Michael by being seen, casually, with him and Yvonne. She wanted to disabuse any notion that she had time for an affair with this Russian whose emotional amusements were never romantic. She preferred that he remained class:- fled us belonging to the other woman. When they crossed the lounge into the palm room at the Hermitage the smartly gowned women and debonair, idle men who gather from all parts of the world for this fashionable tea hour exchanged furtive and curlous glances. The two men were most dis- cussed of the Riviera habitues, and the woman and the girl the season’s brightest ornaments. For several weeks there hud been rumors of some forthcoming event at Villa Amette. The Golden Girl, so the rumors ran, had wearied of such stereotyped thrills as spectacular plays at the roulette tables in the Casino, commonplace revels as were on the daily calendas among the Cap Martin villas—as Michael's, for example. With her ap- parently endless supply of money and Yvonne's customary disregard of con- vention to support her, the news was, Mile. Joanna was about to give the Riviera something actually worth while talking about. These echoes were mysteriously engaged on parts of the Villa Amette grounds. “I have been approached by an exact dozen of people,” Roddy remark- ed, when they had settled to their tea, “so far today with a request for inside information as to what's coming off at Monte Carlo is getting un- “And you've told what they expect to hear, haven't you,” Joanna asked, lightly, “that it's to be just another wild extravagance of the mysterious American child?” “I've told them nothing,” he return- ed. “It will be time enough when I am intrusted with a few invitations to extend. I may have some of my friends, may I not?"” “Yvonne is really the hostess, you know,” Joanna informed him. “I'm only helping to pay the bills. 1 haven't spent anything for an age, now, it seems. I must have a real fling.” It was then that Prince Michael cut in and set Joanna's pulses to racing. “I am reminded,” he remarked. “Haven't I heard that mademoiselle counted among her acquaintances at home this architect chap who is cau ing such a commotion just now? Wil- more, John Wilmore I think it is. Sufficient importance for our esteemed Journals to announce his arrival at Monte Carlo. Extraordinary compli- ment, ‘what with so many dukes and their duchesses, right and left handed, arriving daily, Am I right, mademol- selle? Have I heard his name and your's together Joanna answered quietly. “It {s possible. You hear so much about names being linked together, down here.” She smiled at him quizzically. He laughed pleasantly. Prince Michael was always pleasant, this Russian who had found nothing in his 35 vears to make him otherwise except on such temporary occasions as when outwitted in some amorous ad- venture. It was a pleasantness, though, that fmpressed as a mask. The night before Joanna had known quite well there would have been no wedding formalities if she had found herself in Genoa with him. “What else would you have,” he wanted to know. “We have no wars to fight and no work to do. There is nothing left but pastime. People used to write poems and read Shake- speare. Rotten time they had of it. Today we invent pleasures to be built upon our senses.

Y. what'’s the chances of taking her away from him? But we were talking of this architect fellow. Tell me about him, please. Seems to enjoy work- ing at something.” “You'll have to satisfy mv own curiosity first,” Joanna declared. “Perhaps you'll send for the ‘esteemed Jjournal’. I'd like to know what is be. ing said of him. He was a very struggling student when I saw him last.” An attendant quickly produced a copy of L'Echo which bore that morn- ing’s date. Michael pointed to a para- graph in the column of the new ar- rivals at the various resorts along the fashionable coast. Both Kenilworth and Yvonne watched her furtively, when, with a murmured ‘*Pardon!” she fastened her eyes on the short item. “‘Among the bookings on the Blue Express at Calais yesterday, was {ne distinguished young American archi- tect, John Wilmore, who comes from a visit to London for an indefinite stay. He has made reservations at the Las Palmiers. Mr. Wilmore's re- cent achievement of fame has been extremely interesting. It is under- stood that a year or so ago he was unknown. American capitalists sud- denly apprecfated the great merits of his daring conception of a war me- morial in which are included some star- tling conventional features which have caused international discussion among artists and scholars generally. It is be- lfeved his work will be a valuable con- tribution not only to America but to soclety and the world in general.” The “paragraph explained _the knowledge of the others that John was coming; that he had arrived, for the Blue Express came in with the morning. But it did not explain why he had not notifled her. Something about it all quivered at her lips, briefly. “Extraordinary,” Kenilworth re- marked when she put the paper aside, “how a chap with nothing but a dream can suddenly stumble upon recognition and success. We all re- member Mr. Wilmore in New York If T remember, Miss Manners took occasion to be provoked with him." “Then it was more than an ac- quaintanc Prince Michael de- clared. “One is never provoked with an acquaintance. We won't intrude upon that aspect, mademoiselle,” he added to Joanna. “As you will prob- ably present him, I'd like to know how he got on 80 well “I'm afrald 1 can't tell you much more than people generally kno she replied. “It came about after I left America with Yvonne. I ran away, you know, because no one I knew there had any confildence in me.” Prince Michael detected a serious- ness as of some repressed plaint and thought it needed observance. He sought her hand and would have put his over it, oblivious to the others at the table. 'Joanna brought her hand away quietly. She went on: Before then we had been quite good friends. 1 remember he had me plan for a memorial—something he wanted some day to build. I was never (interested much, because it wasn’t anything I could understand or wanted to. I remember, though, he objected to its being called a ‘war’ memorial. It was to be something commemorating soldlers themselves. All kinds of soldiers, I think—not only our own but of other countries as well. Somehow he's_made it known about, I suppose. Now, when you have a mind to talk to him about it vou will know almost as much as'I o Morbid idea, though,” the prince observed. “I can't imagine anything I'd run away from quicker than a reminder of that sort. Sentimental, though. I suppose they’ll always be doing things of the kind.” “The striking feature of his concep- tion,” Yvonne remarked, ‘‘seems to be his offering of a woman, a Yyoung woman, as the feature inspiration of all soldiers and putting her, instead of the customary fighting figure, on his highest pedestal. Others have given tribute to the fighter himself. He proposes a monumental structure which shall draw attention to what soldiers fight for.” Of Joanna she ssked: “Isn‘'t that the idea?"” *‘Yes,” Joanna agreed. “That wasn't his original plan, but he seems to have adapted it, It's what has caught on. I've réad that he contends that it is always a girl that soldiers fight for. They've always left a girl of some kind at home, one like me, per- haps, or the one they're married to or—at least a mother. And mothers and wives were girls in their day. John has explained that he doesn’t think girls change like fashions do. To soldiers who leave them to go to fight for them they have always been quite the same reliable and worth- while. It's a quaint sort of an idea, but I suppose it must be a good one.” Yvonne had shot a sudden glance at Joanna, and kept her eyes on her, intently, until she finished. “If I remember correctl; she ol served, “he did not always have the opinion that women don't change.” Joanna nodded at her. “Yes, I've been wondering if he's altered his altered his scheme any rate,” Kenilworth re- marked, “he is in a fair way to see his project materialize. It's becom- ing internationalized and there is talk already of duplicating the idea in other countries. The generation will go any length to draw a lesson or an undisturbing memory out of the last upheaval.” Yvonne decided they had given enough of the tea hour to the merits of John's bid for popular fame. &he had observed that Kenilworth, while he gave his part to the discussion, was uneasy. He had studied Joanna's face constantly, and watched every changing light in her eyes and line about her lips. She proposed a turn about the Casino rooms. “We shall have time for an hour of play in trente et quarante hall.” Prince Michael appropriated her at once, much to Joanna's satisfaction, and led the way along the avenue of poplars through the Casino gardens to the white terrace. Kenilworth, lagging behind with Jo- anna, went directly to the subject that concerned him deeply. “You are not going to let his turning up interfere with things, are you?” he asked. “S0 far as I can remember,” she re- turned, “he has never interfered, much, with me. Used to want to, of course, but couldn’t then. I could hardly fancy him being much of an in- fluence now ““Have you, then,’completely wiped him out? As vou seemed to imply that night when you invited me to join you in a kiss?” 8She laughed. *“That was so many ages ago. Roddy! I'd lost track of that one.” “That is evading the questio; rebuked her. “John woudn’t have me then,”’ she sald, simply, “when I thought he was the one thing in all the world I want- ed to buy with my money. 1 doubt if he'd want me at all now. He's fa- mous, you see, and well on the road to prosperity. He won't need to take chances. I'm not as good a_ bet for him now as I was then. Am I, Roddy?"” She was daring him with her smile. There was no wistfulness in it at all, Jjust frank, open provocation. “Do you know,” he exclaimed, ir- ritably, “you are the most unfathom- able creature within my experience?” She was silent until they came up to the terrace steps. She answered him as if there had been no lapse of time. “No, I'm not. I was thorough- ly fathomed this morning. A man told me he wanted me however and whatever I am. If I could say just what I'd like to say about that, 1'd say that would be a damn safe bargain for a man to make with any girl. But I can’t say that, of course, for I must be a hypocrite and let on that I never swear. (Copyright. 1925. H L. Gates.)

For one to three tube scts buy Eveready “B” Bat- tery No. 772. Used with a “C” battery* it will last a year or longer: On sets of four or more tubes either of the Eveready Heavy Duty “B” Batteries No. 770 or the Layerbilt No. 486 used with a “C” battery will last cight months or more. These figures are based on the aver- age use of a set, which is two hours a day.

A radio lobby of sufficient size to make itself noticeable promises to be one of the innovations in the politi- cal life of the Capital this Winter. With the opening of Congress this week, representatives of several radio interests are understood to be arrang ing for headquarters in Washington until Congress has given the country some kind of a radio bill. That radio legislation of one kind or another will be taken up is regarded as a fore gone - conclusion by the Government and the radio world in general. The is, however, no assurance that the bil as already outlined by Secretary Hoover and the fourth annual radio conference, will be obtained without opposition. The matter of limitation of stations, despite the little said against it in the conference, is nevertheless looked upon with decided disfavor in certain quar- ters. Also there is the question of the radiating receiver, another mildly discussed point at the conference, but still one that may bring forth Rro posals to create legislation that would do away with its manufacture. Another probl that of the broadcasting of copyright music, over which broadcasters, music publishers and composers will wage « bitter fight, With all hope of a compromise gearm- ingly abandoned, the ‘ssuf apbears left "for congressional settlement. Lobbying on the copyright bill prob. ably will "be more plcturesque and spirited than on the terms and pro vislons of the radio bill, which, from present indications, will be introduced by Repre Wallace White some time before Christmas. Other debatable puints in the pro posed radio legislation are in the ques tion of licensing broadcasting stations for periods of fiva years and in pro viding for the payment of license fees of from $25 to $5,000.
