T 22 »s THLEVISON FELD GROWS BROADER Philadelphia Company Gets Latest License to Carry on Extensive Tests. BY ROBERT MACK. By degrees, the little army of tele-| vision experimenters in this country becoming more formidable through the authorization of new stations by the Federal Radio Commission. Already 23 stations are licensed for regular tran. mission of pictures, with nine trans- mitting sight synchronized with sound. Seven other experimental stations have been authorized and a dozen applic: tions now are pending before the com- mission. | The latest application to be granted is that of the Philadelphia Storage Battery Co. Despite objections raised | by R. C. A -Victor Co. of Camden. N. J.. | one of the foremost experimenters, but whose operations have been | shrouded in secrecy. the commission has | granted the application of the Phila- delphia concern for the right to en- evision experiments in. both ar television band ranging 0 to 2.850 ki'ocycles and in frequencies, or radio's “no man’s land,” extending from 43.000 to 80.000 kilocycles. Its station, with the call W3XE, will use 1500 watts power. Legal Battle Waged. Granting of the application came only after a bitter legal battle be- fore the commission. R. C. A, now licensed for the same channels, pro- tested that serious interference would yesult if the application were granted, because of the proximity of Phila- delphia to Camden. It declared its experimentation was s that it could not share these facili and that it already had invested some Sl.- 500.000 in television experimentation. X g the recommendation of Elmer W. Pratt, who pre- t the hearing November 4. the n held that television licenses d on an experimental basis The regulations provide th qualified applicant may procure es and trat other users of ex- perimental waves must share operating hours with such new licensees.

Mr. Farnsworth ad- mitted in his testimony before the commission his deductions had gone awry, but said his laboratory experi- ments had reached the stage where it is necessary that they be placed “on the air” for practical application. Work has progressed in the Phila- delphia laboratory. the commission statad in its decision. so that it is possible to produce a brilliant picture of about four inches square on t end of a cathode tube, with detail. Most other television methods invclve the use of mechinical scan- ning. whereas the Farnsworth system is said to be entircly electrical. With a different cathode-r: it was claimed that an image on a screen a foot square can be projected with * ficent illuminaticn.” Apparatus capa ble of transmitting pictures of 100 to 500 lines has been produced. the deci- sion said. as against the present recog- nized standard of 60 lines with 20 exposures per second. (Copyright. 1932) Let Julia Foster tell you some new ideas she has learned PERFUME-JUST TOUCH IT TO THE SKIN..... Yes—my dears—we all use perfume for one reason. But some of us don’t know where to use it to make the effect most alluring. Forgive me for being intimate —but aren’t we all a bit romantic? Yes . . . you've guessed . . . it's right on the skin—never on the clothing. Just touch your perfume stopper behind the ears. Or a drop or two on a small bit of cotton and pat it on as the picture shows. And never use highly perfumed soaps. Their odor is likely to quarrel with the effectiveness of your favorite periume. CHEEKS NEED KNEADING..... Myndall Cain, the famous beautician, tells me that we women don't know how to treat our cheeks. We massage them roughly, when we should knead them gently with the knuckles. That brings up the circulation and stimulates a delicate glow of color. This photograph gives you the very idea I'm talking about.

Here is the exact amount— in this test tube at the right. The exact amount used in every 10c cake of Palmolive. To this generous olive oil content can be directly traced the great benefits of Palmolive Soap to the complexion. Do you know what is in any other soap you may be using on your face? Palmolive tells you. Palmolive is the only large-selling soap made of vegetableoilsexclusively—theonly one using olive oil as a base. Other Palmolive ingredients are simply oils from palm trees necessary to produce a richer, creamier, more workable lather. Palmolive’s color comes from the olive and palm oils of which it is made. Not a drop of artificial coloring added. Knowing the value of a liberal amount of olive oil in soap, more than 20,000 of the world’s lead- ing beauty experts have for years urged women to use Palmolive Soap to safeguard lovely skin.

His letter read, in part, as follows: “The Washington newspapers report that new plans are to be drafted for the sanitarium, with some likelihood of further action in the matter by April 15. “I have received a number of com- plaints from persons interested in the project, who feel there has been undue delay in starting construction, as the necessary land has bern purchased snd the money for beginning the buildings has been available for almost & year. Facilities Inadequate. “I am sure the Commissioners are informed of the total inadequacy of our present hospital facilities for tuber- | cular children, and that they appre- ciate the necessity of proceeding with the work as soon as possible. “In view of the wide interest in the subject, I should like to be informed | by the Commissioners as to the prog- | ress on the sanitarium project, and as | to whether, in the judgment of the | Commissioners, there been any | unnecessary delay.” | Early this week the Commissioners rejected all bids for a nurses' home as part of the project.
