RADIO- TELEGRAPH - COMPETITION SEEN | | Wireless May Cut Into Field of Land Lines as It Has With Cable Service. | Already a serious rival of the sub- marine cable, radio now proposes to eénter the domestic fleld in competi- tlon with the land-line telegraph sys- tems. Many ambitious enterprises have been born of the realization that each high- frequency channel in the ether has the potential value of an extensive inland wwire reach. These proposed enterprises are the subject of a serfes of hearings before the Federal Radio Commission, at which many concerns, new and old in the field of communications, are seeking to ob- tain allocations -in’the highly restrict- ed continental short-wave band that ranges. from 1,500 to 6,000 kilocycles (200 to 50 meters). Exceed Channels Available. Four major applicants for substantial parcels of these waves alone exceeded in their demands the 300 channels or less that will be theoretically available for distribution when the commission |and now owned and operated by the | Mackay interest, and the Radio Cor- | can handle messages at cheaper rates poration of America, asking for more channels to serve as a “feeder” for its vast network of transoceanic radio cir- cuits and proposing to handle inter- city messages for the public at the same ime. Added to these are applications from such concerns as cotton exchanges, plantations, chain stores and power companies each desiring short waves for the cheaper and faster transmission of their messages between cities, Utility Standards Required. Commission attorneys, in quizzing the counsel for these companies, indicated clearly that public utility standards must be accepted before any short waves will be granted. It is apparent that purely private uses of the short waves will not be tol- erated when the reassignments are made, regardless of the fact that many of the present users have been operat- ing their own radio telegraph ser\'lccs! for many years. Important figures in journalism ap- peared before the commission yesterday to support the applications of thei committee for 25 channels Yor inlan point-to-point services. The spokesman for the press, Lewis Pierson of Chicago, explained that these would be put to use “to send complete news reports to many newspapers of the country unable to carry the eco- nomic load of bulk press traffic handled by the wire companies.” He asked for waves that are harmonics of the score or more of transoceanic waves that the press has already been allotted by the commission. ‘The Buffalo group asked for waves sufficient for 106 stations in all parts THE FVE\’]’\'G STAR, W \QHT\GTO\T LIEE THURSDAY.

Both will give you a realism in reproduction that will simply aston- ish you. You will hear the human voice, orchestras, dance music, as though you were there in person. You will hear every instrument in its proper pitch and tone quality, without over-emphasis or distortion. The engineers can prove this to you with charts and figures.

Interior decorators are using a grea§ deal of maple, these days, to relieve the monot- ony of an all-mahogany or walnut setting. The popularity of maple is on the increase. Evere eady is the first to introduce a radio cabinet in keeping with this vogue. Or, if you prefer, you can have your cabinet in mahogany, which is always popular, and always in good taste. $ A. P.
