FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY By Joseph Calcaterra Noted Authority on Radio All Rights Reserved. Reproduction Prohibited. The New Order in Broadcasting Ver- sus the Old. There is no doubt about the fact that the newer circuits have improved on the older ones to some extent in the matter of more efficlent operation, fewer controls and the elimination of one of the greatest drawbacks to good radio reception, namely, the whistling radiating receiver. It is doubtful, however, whether the new circuits can do very much better than the old circuits under similar conditions of operation. We must not forget that reception nowadays is much better, not simply because the receiving circuits are better and the present-day apparatus is better made, but mostly because transmitting ap. paratus is better and more powerful than it was even two or three years ugo. The greater power of the stations and the technique of broadcasting which they have acquirgfl as a result of their years of experience is respon- sible for a great deal of the ability of modern receivers to receive distant stations which were never heard of in some localities only a few short years ago. High-grade Programs. Regular staffs of program directors now see to it that only high-grade pro- grams are broadcast. In the early days even the best stations broad- casted phonograph and player-piano selections to fill in the gaps between feature numbers. Now, thanks to the paid programs broadcast by national advertisers, only the very best enter- tainment procurable is broadcast, and the money thus earned also pays for highly efficient technicians in the roadcasting studios. Now we have various interests clam- oring for a chance to put a new broad- casting station on the air In spite of the fact that there are now so many stations that the addition of a few ‘more would result in chaos. Then the number of stations were so few that large sections of the coun- try were too far from them to make 1t possible to install a receiver in those sections. Distance Brought Thrill. Those were the days when reception over distances of 1,000 miles brought & real thrill to the listener and were ltunl to be mentioned in the local pw or the radlo magazine. Now a 1,000 miles away is lookod um as a local in sections, and th time & fan gets a thrill is when b' istens in to Burope or China. Due credit must be given to those who have designed more efficient cir- cuits from the standpoint of greater selectivity to tune out undesired sta- tlons. Do not forget, however, that the broadcast engineers and program directors deserve their share of credit for the better reception and programs which you are now enjoying.

HUGHES. Analyzing Value of Foreign Bonds. Investment rating of foreign gov- ernment bonds should cover three points; first, the record of the bofrow- ing government—second, its present financial condition, and third, the political situation. These should be taken up in the order given, whereas usually it is reversed, more attention being paid to the political than to the financial situation and more to these two than to the long- time record. Now, the credit of a government is established in just the same way as is the credit of an individual. If the latter has always paid his debts promptly it is reasonable to expect that he will continue to do so. That is the real reason why the bonds of Great Britain stand so high in the estimation of investors. Every one knows that no matter how hard pressed financially or how disturbed politically the British government may be its pledged word will be kept. The reason that certain Central and South American governments have to pay a high rate of interest when they borrow money is because they have been delinquent in the past. The second point involves a study of the current finances of the bor- rower. Is its budget balanced? Is its exchange stabilized? Is it increas- ing or decreasing it total indebtness? The answers to all these questions may be unfavorable and yet the bonds of that government command a comparatively high rating simply because its history ‘shows that condi- tions like these as they come up in the past have always been remedied and that without any deferring of interest on its bonds. Finally, we come to the political outlook, which bulks so large in the eyes of many American investors when they consider. foreign govern- ment bonds. It is important, but not s0 much so as the other two matters. This is best {llustrated in South America,” where there have been 80 many so-called “revolutions.” These political disturbances need not be too serlously regarded if the people of the country have eajned a reputa- tion for honoring their forelgn in- debtedness and if their financial con- ditlon is reasonably sound. That being the case, the new government ‘will assume that obligation of the one it displaces. ; MARYLAND TOBACCO. Receipts Show Increase, While Sales Are Reported Smaller.

NEW YORK, July 26.—Stabilization of the Ameérican petroleum industry through meérgers, consolidations and other means has snatched the crown of interoceanic canal supremacy from the Panama Canal. In 1924 cargo tonnage passing through the Panama Canal totaled 25,892,000. Much of this was due to shipments of gasoline and petroleum products from the tremendous fields of California to Atlantic Coast ports. This tonnage exceeded that passing through the Suez Canal by 363,134 ons. Thus the first great achievement of de Lesseps, originator of both canal systems, was surpassed by the water- . MONDAY, JULY 26, 1926. way which he visualized, but which he was unable to bring to completion. Tonnage aggregating 25,776,000 passed thm\llh the Suez Canal in 1913, but was not until 1926 that pre-war fl‘um were again attained. So far this year there is nothing to indicate any e Increese in the volume of freight passing between the Mediter- ranean and into the Red Sea. Volume of Business. % < In 1925 the volume of Business as expressed in tons of shipping between the Atlantic and the Pacific fell off to 23,701.277, while Suez figures rose to 24,578,000 tons. While the Gov- ernment’ returns may have suffered, it is declared by oil engineers that the petroleum industry .has profited by the loss of prestige by the American canal. In 1924 the entire industry was disorganized, they say, by ship- ments of flush production oil from the three great new California fields te Atlantic Coast points where it came into competition with products of the midcontinent, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Southwestern flelds, In spite of the falling off in ton- nage, the tolls oh commercial vessels through the Panama Canal so far this year have gained. As compared with the last half of last year, the re- turns have risen from $10,! 5 on January 1 to $11,971,900 on né 30, Total tolls for the fiscal year ended June 30 were $22,931,055, This com- pares with $24,290,963 for the pre- ceding fiscal year. There {s small question that within 1 the next few years the traffic through the American canal will again ex- ceed that pessing by way of Suez. In the meantime petroleum prices have stabilized owing to control of eastbound shipments. Prices have not averaged higher than a year ago. but the consumption of gasoline and refined products has grown' tremen- dously. Production of crude has been running ‘well below that of the cor- responding period of 1925, and oil companies have been able to work off burdensome stocks, much of which were acquired at low. prices and which have yielded excellent profits. The outlook for the industry at present is regarded by many excellent judges as more promising than at any time since 1923, when the huge flush pro- duction overbalanced demand. The inCustry is now in the very zenith of consumption. It is estl- mated consumption of gasoline in this country alone will exceed 14, 000,000,000 gallons. Drilling ecam- palgns are more extensive than for many years, but so far this year no new flelds have been proved which threaten another flood of flush erude. The South and Central American production is growing steadily, and this is adding materially to the freight tonnage carried by American ship- ping. In addition it has done much to promote reciprocal trade with countries which hitherto have opened only minor markets to American commodities. COTTON GOODS ACTIVE.
