Stebbins, assistant American trade commissioner at Bern, reports to the Department of Commerce. A switch on the telephone circuit enables subscribers in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich, Chur | and Lausanne to listen to Switzerland’s | two large broadcasting stations without | owning radio sets. The broadcasts are picked up at a central point and sent along the wires to a simple Teceiver in the home, which ratus for audible and visual direction- | jsct of close study. by Cansadian finding _and weather information re- gineers.

HIGH COST OF RADIO LICENSE STIRS GERMANS Bet Owners, Now Paying 50 Cents a Month, Are Promised Re- duction by Cabinet. Depression days find Germany, now boasting of being second only to Great Britain in the number of licensed radio Teceiving sets, agitated over the cost of such licenses, which are collected by the postmen each month from set own- ers in the amount of 2 marks per month (about 50 cents). Thus far the Reich cabinet Mils refused to reduce this license fee despite pleas of prevailing unemployment, on the ground that broadeasting is a luxury. A reduction is promised later, however. At the beginning of 1932 the German ministry of posts and telegraphs, which administers radio, reported 3,980,852 licenses in force. The British post office, which collects 2 shillings per month (about 25 cents), reported 4,329,754 licenses in force on January 1, 1932, an increase of about 900,000 over the pre- ceding year. In 1896 there were but four gasoline cars in the country, the Duryea, the grd, the Haynes and the imported nZ. We Guarantee Our RADIO SERVICE ONE DOLLAR Anywhere in District POST RADIO CO.
