RADIO CONFERENCE SEEHING SOLUTIONS Wants Knotty Problems Cleared Up; Hoover Enthusiastic Washington, Oct. 8.—The third natjonal radio conference went into it third general session at the Com- merce Department today with the floor open to any one for proposals to solve the numerous problems of the industry. Detalled study of the problems as they are developed in diecussion is being left to the seven sub-commttees iof the conference, composed of experts and representa- tives of all phases, of the industry. The conference, which was called by Secretary Hoover, was said today to have already exceeded the hopes of the secretary in both attendance and the tasks accomplished, about | haif of the questions presented to it, . having been considered and definite policies outlined. Chief among the discussions at vesterday's Bub-committee sessions concerned the limitation of power to \ placed on broadcating stations, a iscussion that promises to continue ar two days—possibly until the con- srence is adjourned. Opposition to proposals to estab- ish super-broadcasting stations was voiced by owners of smaller stations, who contended that such stations would virtually exclude them from the air while in operation. proponents of the super-station pian, however, contended it had heen proved that such stations would give suffering sire. | but little interference to the smaller “Pa, how does a flea keep stlll | ones if erected away from the cene long enough to raise a family?” ters ot population, the distance t6 be based on the power of the station.

There is delightfulness about sitting or dining under the open sky that one can not find under any roof and the garden in the house supplies us not onl with a bit of ground that is our own but a bit of sky that is ours. It is characteristic of America, and all our Western civilization, t most of the attention to the house one 'lves in. It would be better if the garden space were considered an integra | part of the residence and if the garden were enclosed in the house. Perhaps such things are the result of instincts that lie deeper in us than we imagine, but very probably it'is the result of custom and the present custom of having the garden added as an adjunct to the house | is one more honored in the breach than in the observance.
