Flies are highly dang erous’ says The United States Public Health Service When children come down sick with typhoid or summer complaint, which kills more than 1/5 of the children who die under five, what is the cause? Often the disease has been brought into the home by flies. The government calls the common fly}*the worst of all man’s natural enemies,” because “there can be no doubt of the house fly’s responsibility for much sickness and many deaths.” Be comfortable and safe. Keep your home insect-free. Spray Flit, which is guaranteed (or money back) to be quick- death to flies, mosquitoes, moths, roaches, bed bugs and other household insects.

Thornton fired a return shot. ‘The chase continued south on Seventh | street and west on D street, where the man disappeared, Air passenger and mail service has| been inaugurated between Brindisl, Italy, Athens and Constantinople. MONDAY, JUNE 1930. RADIO FANS BOTHERED IN UNKNOWN STYLE ‘Ailment of Congestion Has Over- come Broadcast of Very Early Dates. Broadcasting’s chronic ailment of congestion, which evidences itself in in- terference for the listener, affects most seriously the great “‘middle class” of stations, or those 275 broadcasters using power from 250 to 1,000 watts. This is revealed by a survey just completed by the Federal Radio Com- mission. Regional stations are crowded so closely on the limited number of channels reserved for them that nearly 90 per cent of them suffer from inter- ference from stations on the same or adjacent channels, Federal Radio Com- | missioner Lafount declared. Questionnaires were sent to this group | of stations to get the facts about inter- ference and to determine, once and for all, whether the ever-increasing de- | mand for added radio facilities in this regional category can be met. Because of the cramming of these stations, the commissioner asserts, the results of the survey show that the average night service area of a 1000-watt station is only about 50 miles in radius. It showed also that the service area in- creases and the interference lessens where stations on the same channel are 1,000 miles or more apart, indicat- ing clearly that there are too many stations on the air and that the neces- | sary geographical separation cannot be allowed under the existing set-up. “The only way to materially improve radio reception in the United States,” Commissioner Lafount concludes, .“is to eliminate a number of stations and to apply strictly sound engineering prin- | ciples in making any future assign-| | ments.” The data supplied by the stations themselves coincide “to a remarkable degree” with the reports and observa- tions of the radio supervisors through- out the country, based upon thousands of monitoring checks and with reports an executive it’s in a cigarette KNOWING WHAT TO DO —and doing it—that’s what carries 2 man up . . . and a cigarette, too. PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST—good taste, uni- form quality, aroma, flavor — Chesterfield’s popularity is built on knowing what smokers want ... and giving it unfailingly. TASTE — THAT'S THE ANSWER and that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in fullest measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow tobaccos, exactly blended and cross-blend- ed, all to a single, satisfying end . . . “TASTE above everything”. of radio listeners, the commissioner th this information before engineers are study- ing the problem of duplicating station | the assignments on the same channel and methods of reducing interference. There is a constant clamor of small stations trying to “grow up” for change in wavelength, increased power, and aii- around improved assignment, as well as a steadily increasing effort on the part of individuals and companies to break into the broadcasting business with new stations. Most of these applications are for regional stations and the com- mission almost invariably denies those for new stations. “It is very evident that most appli- cants are being misled by the commis- sion’s present allocation of regional stations,” says missioner Lafount. “They base their applications and urge grants on the basis of those already made, little realizing the present aver crowded conditions, which is a result of the commission’s desire to accommo- | date all existing stations.” (Copyright. 1930, by the Consolidated Press.) RAILWAY RADIO-PHONE EXTENSION IS PLANNED:, Service Now Provided on Canadian Trains Will Be Extended to Chicago in Near Future. Extension to Chicago of the railroad radio-telephone service now provided on trains of the Canadian National Rail- ways running between Montreal and Toronto will be inaugurated soon. Of- ficials of the Grand Trunk Line have obtained assurances of co-operation from the Federal Radio Commission in their plans to furnish an American link in the service which enables a passenger | to speak from a telephone booth in & moving train to subscribers within reach of the connected telephones anywhere | in North America, South America and | Europe. American rights were sought to em- ploy the two long waves of 69 and 100 kilocycles now used with extremely low powers on the Montreal-Toronto run. The Canadian service can be provided to the border, but American authority had to be sought for the radio link from 6 Eain telepns mcn..bw i ephone employs T jump thepnp between the trains and ‘telegraph lines paralleling the nl.l- road right-of-way whose carrier quencies carry the conversations to lnd from their destinations.

Specially designed Jets, each costing $7,000, have been ordered from an American firm, which also will install the central transmitting station. The portables will be carried on muleback.
