BY MARTIN CODEL. A sort of cudgel is being wielded by the Federal Radio Commission over the heads of the 38 broadcasting stations subscribing to the Sunday night radio hour sponsored over a Nation-wide Na- lonal Broadcasting Co. network by the rs of cigarettes, who offer testi- monials from celebrities and urge smok- ing cigarettes rather than eating sweets, So intense is the opposition to the character of this radio advertising that the commission threatens to take a hand. The subscribing stetions have had their licenses renewed for three months, or until July 31, but the com- mission proposes to exact a penalty from them unless the form of the advertis- ing is changed, It is only to the sta- tions that the’commission can extend its jurisdiction. Official cognizance was taken today of the petition of the National Food Products Protective Committee and other complainants, particularly candy and restaurant interests, who allege that “pald testimonials” over the radio from athletes, coaches, stage and screen stars and other popular heroes tend to “trans- form 20,000,000 boys and girls into con- firmed cigarette addicts.” The announc- ing is also characterized as unfalr to other industries. Oppose Type of Publicity, Several members of ile commission, speaking Informallv, sald they are thor- oughly opposed ¢, the type of advertis- ing belng don-, and believe the “public interest” cl».se of the radio act can be construed to upgly, even though the right ot censorship is specifically de- Dutch Boy white ni’.. ‘Oficially the commission issued 5 : e following statement by its general| lead is sold by paint counsel, B, M.

Without passing on the merits of the complaints, and in view of the excellent performance generally ren- dered by these stations, the commission for the present has decided to renew the Jicenses in question. “The petition and afidavits now on file will receive further serious consid- eration, additional proof will be ob- tained, and, if warranted by the ava able proof, the commission will, purs ant to section 11 of the act, deny appli- cations for renewal as of July 31, 1929, and hold a public hearing, at which proof on this subject can be offered and considered.” Commissioners freely asserted they would insist upon holding the hearings and testing their authority, if only to exert “moral suasion” to obtain a cessa- tion of the announcements.

Why not a first class dentifrice at 25¢—scientifically correct for all types of teeth? Believing this to be a sound price, we created Listerine Tooth Paste at 25¢ for a large tube. It is'the result of more than fifty years’ study of tooth and mouth troubles. Now it is sweeping the country.

Get a tube at your druggist today. Try it for a month. See how it makes teeth gleam. Note how good your mouth feels after using it. Compare it with any paste you have ever used and judge by results alone. And then reflect that these results are costing you about half of what you would ordinarily pay.
