EQUALIZING PLAN LAID FOR STATIONS Gradual Curtailment of Facil- ities in “Over-Quota™ Areas to Be Result. Gradual curtallment of broadcasting facilities in areas which now are “over- quota” is planned by the Federal Radio Commission as a means of equalizing the distribution of stations, power and hours of operation as required by law. A new method of evaluating broad- casting stations as a means of more ef- fectively calculating the distribution of facilities has been adopted by the com- mission as a forerunner of this gradual transition, which, if effected, will hit hard such localities as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Under this unit system it was calcu- lated that there now are 423 broadcast- ing “units” distributed throughout the Nation. The commission has designat- ed the arbitrary figure of 400 units as the maximum that should be allowed, and its plan is to.prune down to that total. New Plan Mathematical. Heretofore the commission has had no standard for determining the compar- ative value of broadcasting facilities, and consequently there was no clear- | cut way of showing just how stations, power and hours of operation were dis- | tributed. The Davis amendment to the radio law, the target of widespread crit- icism, specifies that broadeasting facili- ties as nearly as possible be allocated among the States and the five radio gones into which the Nation is divided, according to population. ‘With the new unit distribution is obtained by simple mathematics. A station of 1,000 watts operating on a channel with other sta- tions constitutes a full unit. A ‘“cleared channel” station, using 5000 watts or ,more, is credited as 5 units. The formula covers in unit value all other classes of stations, on a graduated scale, ‘with the one unit as the base. The arbitrary 400-unit maximum adopted provides that each of the five zones have an aggregate of 80 units. It so happens now that only two of the zones, the Eastern and East Central, are under their quotas, while the three others are from 9 to nearly 20 units over. Each zone, it is provided, shall be entitled to 47 units on “cleared channels.” to 26 units on regional or intermediate channels with stations having power from 250 to 1,000 watts, and to 7 units in local channels, or Jow-powered stations with power up to 250 whtts. East Below Quota. ‘The Eastern zone, despite the location of New York within its borders, is 6.42 units_below its rightful quota of 80. ‘The East Central is minus 11.59 units, while the Southern zone is 9.43 units over. The Middle Western zone, 19.64 units over, and the Western zone, 12.82 units over, or a total for the country of 23.88 units over the 400 maximum. Broken down to the units distributed among the States, as against the num- ber to which they are entitied under the Davis amendment, the tabulation | shows that Illinois leads the pack with ! 11.78 units in excess, directly attributable to the fact that Chicago, with its pre- ponderance of stations, is the most thickly populated broadcasting area in the world. Texas is more than seven units over, California more than six units, Iowa more than five units, ‘Tennessee nearly six units, New York nearly five units and Florida more than four units. In the States of New York, Illinois and California_the excesses are found in the metropelises. To effect the con- templated curtailment, the commission would have to strike with most force at the large cities with their overabund- ance of stations. (Copyrisht, Irish Nab French Fishermen.

THE TOWN GUARDS CAPTURE BANDITS AS SPEEDY CHASE BARS ESCAPE “Main Street” Posse Kills One Robber, Seizing Three Others and $40,000 Loot From Bank. By the Associated Press. NOBLE, I, June 26—A “Main Street” posse made short work of four | oW robbers who held up the First National Bank Tuesday, slaying one of the quar- tet and capturing the other three after a 60-mile circuitous chase that lasted from midafternoon till far into the night. Hardly had the men subdued As- sistant Cashier George Teller and Charles Coen, a teller, with sawed-off shotguns and reached their automobile before the home guard, organized a month ago by the business men of the village, began firing at the desperadoes. They had been aroused by an alarm accidentally set off by the robbers. Lack of practice made the marksman- Ahip poor and the bandits escaped the The Main street guards rushed lfler the fugitives and also alarmed sur- rounding towns. Roads were soon bar- ricaded by officers from surrounding towns. Seeing their getaway blocked, the robbers left their machine and took to| the woods, where they finally were sur-| rounded by a posse of 200 home guards, farmers and deputies. They captured | three without a struggle, but the fourth, | attempting to break through the cordon started shooting. Everett Woolen, a druggist, was wounded, but the posse’s return fire killed the robber, whose name | was not learned.

LONDON (N.AN.A).—An exhibition of the dark ages is one of London's latest attractions. It is being held at the Buslington Arts Club, and the |4 exhibits, which comprise what is said to be the finest collection of European art_of the period from 400 to 1,000 A. D., come from museums in all parts | | of Europe. Hundreds of brooches and other | beautiful objects in precious metals, | all obtained from the graves of Huns, Anglo-Saxons, Goths and Franks, have been gathered together, and there are also enamels, armor, manuscripts, ivories, metal work and sculpture. One of the most important items is a magnificent chieftain’s regalia, which belonged to an unknown Lombard Ruler. It consists of helmet, sword, shield and richly wrought col ll‘, all in solid gold. Another notable relic is & chalice for drinking human blood. This is of heavy chased 'old. without a foot, and was intended to hnnw at the belt of the user. When agreement was made, two Goth chlets ‘would open veins, mingle blood in the cup, and seal the pact by drinking the draught. Other interesting exhibits include the weights with which a Goth goldsmith was wont to apportion his precious metals to tribal wanderers a thousand or more years ago. These were found beside his skeleton in his grave in Hungary. And the huge gold pins WHY HAVE A SHABBY LAWN?
