Since advertisements for bids on Dis- trict owned property at Sixteenth and Webster streets have failed to produce a proposal, Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget officer, yesterday asked the Commissioners to authorize its disposi- tion at & private sale. The property was acquired as a site for a new fire engine house, but the Commissioners . were prevented from using it for that purpose by a covenant in the deed which was disclosed when a group of residents in the vicinity pro- tested the erection of a fire engine house | at that point, Sale of the property was authorized/at the last session of Con- gress. MAJORITY OF RADID |u. S. Bureaus Make Survey | of his living room, his radio going full | WORKERS WOMEN of Industry—Cite 60 Ma- jor Occupations. Riclining within the solid comfort blast, the listener perhaps some fimrf or other has thought for a moment | about the ingenious device that literally | picks from the air those choice morsels m( entertainment. But he probably has not_bothered about the actual facts. | What are these actual facts? Who | builds these radio reccivers and how | much do they get for it? How does the industry manage to incorporate in cach new model of a receiver some- thing that makes reception infinitely hetter? These are questions that run through the listener’s mind. Now the answers. They are made available by the Burcau of Labor statis- Labor Department, after an in- ve study of the wages and hours of labor in the radio manufacturing industry. There are three absolutely divergent branches of manufacture that unite to provide radio reception. These are the raceiving set branch. the speaker and the radio tube. Each division has manifold separate occupations. All told there are 60 different major occupations that go into the radio re- ceiver manufacture. Of these 31 are in the manufacture of tubes, the very heart of the receiver. The receiver is the product of 17 distinct occupations and the speaker 12. In the receiving set branch, the sur- vey disclosed that the average full-time | carnings for one week ranged from | $15.94 for clectrical testers, female. to | 342.11 for tool and die makers, male, | and the average ecarnings per week | for all employes was $24.59. The stand- | ard of wages in the speaker branch was about the same. A somewhat lower standard -exists in tube manufacture, due to the fact that women predominate in this branch. In the manufacture of re- ceiving sets 42 per cent and of speaker only 36 per cent of the employes were women, while in establishments making tubes 83 per cent were women. The average full-time earnings in one week ranged from $15.97 for filament testers, female, to $27.82 for flare makers, male, the average for all employes being $21.58. As to progress in design, the sur- veyors report that radio engineers are constantly at work seeking improve- ments. ~ “The radio industry, literally speak- ing, may not be in its infancy, yet| cerfainly it has not passed out of its childhood and changes and improve- ments follow one another in rapid suc- cession,” they observed. “Engineers have designed and re- designed, tested and retested, built and rebuilt sets; consequently, the sets of a few months ago are more or less obsolescent today. The trend of the times is for mechanism which requires little care or attention, which eliminates the necessity of renewals, and which will operate at the pressure of a but- ton and the turn of a dial. What the improvements will be next year is highly problematical.” (Copyright. 1928, by Consolidated Press.)

A committee appointed by the Dis- trict Commissioners to recommend re- gan yesterday a study of measures adopted by other cities to regulate palmists, fortune tellers, clairvoyants, spiritualist mediums and phrenologists. The committee has already gathered |sult. _—_ data from a number of cities, and learned that in Cleveland no license is required, while Richmond, on the other | hand, charges a license fee of $1,000 a year. Under the present District law any person furnishing 10 letters of recommendation as to character and paying a license fee of $25 can prac- ice in Washington. ‘The committee is composed of Ring- gold Hart, istant principal corpora- tion counsel: Wade Coombs, superin- tendent_of licenses, and D.

Next in order in the radio repertory are “past midnight” broadcasts. By special dispensation of the Fed- eral Radio Commission those broad- lengths when the reallocation goes into effect next month may experiment with their new assignments at specified hours beyond midnight. Listeners who choose to remain ¢wvake will probably be offered specially ar- ranged programs from many stations during the next five weeks, for most of the stations in the United States are effected by the reallocation order, ef- fective November 11. As an inducement to tuning in and reporting reception results, stations generally provide unusually fine talent for_their experimental broadcasts. The commission's order limits the| time of these tests to_the periods be- tween 2 and 7.a.m, Eastern standard time. If interference results with other sta- tions legitimately on the air, the tests must suspend, the commission has ruled. Special authority for testing out the | new wave lengths during the daylight hours will also be granted by the com- on where interference will not re- Such permits are being given | Pro GU remember that it It is the only way to from discases that ravage health and often cause loss of teeth.
