To give every one in the United States a high school education is the part radio is destined to play in twen- tieth century schooling. according to Ira Cammack, superintendent of schools of Kansas City, Mo, and a pioneer in teaching by radio. when Ames broadeasters wi by the public in standardizing fre- for the Issuance of a|qyency meters (wavemeters) and trans- clusive wave length for | mitting and recefving apparatus to be agreed upon hy !

Four New Stations. Four new radio stations along the Army model air way have been erected through the co-operation of the Signal Corps. The new stations are at Cumberland, Md.; Richards Fleld, near Kansas Ci Hat Box Field, near and Love Field, T , Tex. These stations taken together with the 10 already established along the irway make possible radio communi- cation between planes and stations while en route. The stations already {in use are at Langley Field, Va.; Boll- ing Field, near Washington, D. C.; Aberdeen, Md Island, ville, W, Vi Muskogee, Okla., Langin Field, Mounds- Fairfleld, Ohio: Chanute Field, 111 tt Field near St. Louis; Kelly San Antonlo, Tex., and Selfridge Field at the northern extrem- ¢ of the airway.

Prospective purchasers of American radio equipment in England have filed inquirfes with the Department of Com Mitchel Field, Long | merce as to radio parts, tubes, bat- teries, testing apparatus and appli- ances. From Italy come requests for data on complete radio receiving sets, while agents in Denmark ask as to American radio equipment, particu- larly ship radio transmitters. Radio in South Africa. An emergency wireless bill, making it compulsory for all owners of radio |receiving sets to take out receiver’s licenses, will come before the South African Parliament this session, a re- port to the Department of Commerce states. A heavy penalty will be im- posed upon those who fail to comply with the regulations if enacted. Spain Puts Tariff on Radio. spanish decree, effective Febru- ary 21, provided that radio valves and radio tubes are to be dutiable under a new tariff item, when imported into Spain. The tax is 156 gold pesetas per kilo at the maximum rate, and at 52 zold pesetas per kilo under the mini- mum rate, according to a cablegram received at the Department of Com- merce. Goods from the United States are dutiable at the lower rate: Iraq Lifts Ban on Radio. The ban on the importation of radlo equipment into Iraq has been lifted, according to a consular report to the Department of Commerce from Bag- dad. Purchasers of radio sets must register with the director of post and telegraphs, however, and obtain a per- mit from this authority before the set may be used. Iraq has no broadcast- ing station and reception is very un- satisfactory during elght or nine months of the year. —e Homing Pigeons Valuable. Fanclers of homing plgeons set high prices on their birds, some of which have brought as much as $2,000 each, Owners of the pigeons become as attacher to them as does a dog or horse fancler to his particular pet. Homing pigeons have great endurance powers, being able to fly 12 to 15 hours without rest. A homing pigeon welghing 16 ounces will consume only about an ounce of food a day.

N.W. TOURING *310 For The First Time If you plan to spend over *500 F.O.B. Factory for an automobile, you can get the year-round com- fort and convenience of a Ford closed car. The price advantage which the public enjoys in purchasing Ford cars is the result of volume pro- duction. In 1920, when the Ford Motor Company was producing approximately only a million cars a year, the Ford Touring Car sold for $575. Today, with production on the basis of nearly two million carsayear,the Tudor Sedan, a high quality all-steel closed car, can purchased for $520—%55 less than the Touring Car sold for six years ago. Open car prices are corre- spondingly low. TUDOR SEDAN *520 New Prices COUPE *500 While this program of price reduction has been carried on, im- portant refinements and improve- mentshavebeenmade in Ford cars. The latest improvements include new and attractive body lines— a lower center of gravity, closed cars in color, all-steel bodies, new brakes and new style fenders. However, the basic features of Ford design have not been changed. Three point motor sus- pension, planetary transmission, dual ignition system, torque tube drive, multiple disc-in-oil clutch, splash lubrication, thermo-syphon cooling system —outstanding fea- tures of automobile design—have all been retained, regardless of cost.
