Many of the applicants want to communicate from their cen- tral offices to their field forces, such as packing plants, fleets, plantations and the like, but others simply seck the short wave for domestic corre- | spondence and for the purpose of economy in message tolls. | An example of the long-distance use of short waves is furnished by the experimental license sought by the Firestone rubber concern at Akron to utilize short-wave channels for com- munication with its rubber planta-| tions in Liberia, which is not other- wise reached very readily by cable. Radio Corporation of America has just applied for construction permits for short-wave stations at Rocky Point, Long Island, and Bolin: Calif., to be used for a photoradio fac- simile service, with incidental tele- graph channels multiplexed on the same transmitter. This service would permit the send- ing of photographs and documents by radio, and also the facsimile trans- mission of messages between New York and San Francisco, which the | Radio Corporation of America in its application to Washington says would | answer a public need and demand.

Wanless of the American Presbyterian Hospital at Bombay, has been given the honorary title of knighthood in the New Year honors list. an award which has caused comment in the newspapers, being interpreted as a gesture of Anglo-American friendship. The newspapers point out that Dr. Wanless is the second American mis. slonary to have been honored for work in India, the first honorary title going to the late Dr. James C. Ewing of La- hore in 1923, Dr. Wanless went to India in 1889. Donee BROTHERS present Will Rogers Paul Whiteman Fred and Dorothy Stone Al Jolson TONIGHT in the greatest radio hookup ever attempted.

And so, before you buyaradio,youwill of course examineand hear this wonderful new Atwater Kent creation. All we ask is to forget that it costs only $88 until you have had a chance to marvel at its amazing fidelity of tone—its delicious clarity, bell-like purity—its capture of delicate shad- ings and overtones which distinguish music from noise.

That inconspicuous, modest little case is all there is to it—except- ing, of course, the speaker.

Your ear tells you that Atwater Kent tone is finer—you prefer its looks and compactness—but your logic makes you wonder how a set so much cheaper can do everything you want from a radio set. Remember that the biggest and most highly organized radio factory in existence is back of this Model 37. All the genius and scien- tific knowledge of our big staff of production engineers has gone into the making of this new A. C. radio. Any radio expert will tell you that Atwater Kent Radio is unquestionably as well and accurately made as any set in existence. Its tone and volume are unexcelled. It is so fully guarded against deterioration that it should last a lifetime. It has itnumerable exclusive features and refinements. The whole secret of this low price is big production. In America, as a rule, the best is not necessarily the most expensive because everyone wants the best and mass production follows. Resultant economies are enormous, We believe that Model 37, House-Current Radio, will give you more and better service, greater satisfaction than will any other re- ceiver you can buy at any price. It is unques- tionably the biggest value ever offered by Atwater Kent, and to most people that means the biggest value ever offered by anyone. Model 37 marks the highest development of radio today.
