FIGURES ON TRADE SHOW STEADY GAINS Facts Support Theory of Revival in Business. SPOTS ARE FEWER Coal and Textiles in Depression From Strikes. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RICHARD SPILUSE. PHILADELPHIA May 22 —To many men Prealdent Harding's statement that ■we are on the threshold of anew era and more than a business revival la In sight may have appeared overly optimistic. Every man Judges largely by his own life of endeavor. If his business Is poor, all business seems poor. He Is Inclined also to measure now by the yardstick of the fiush days of the war period and the days following the war rathet than the period before the war. He seer, too, the coal etrike, the greatest In that department. In the Nation’s history. In which there Is no sign as yet ot settlement, and the long drawn out textile .trike In New England. Unquestionably, conditions remain spotted, but the spots gradually are becoming fewer. A look at foreign and domestic trade figures might be good medicine. Steel la of the major group of Industries. Despite Genoa, the foreign bualness of the steel corporations Is increasing steadily. Despite the unsettled state of Europe, our cotton exports thus far this fiscal year exceed 6.000.000 bales, or equal to 55 per cent of the total American crop of 1921. The total foreign takings for the fiscal year probably will total 5,600,000 bales, or 60 per cent of the 1921 crop. Our exports of copper have been big. So have our exports of grains. Exports of machinery ahow steady betterment and the Improvement la exports of farming Implements, tractors, harvesters, plows, reapers, etc., is pronounced. Specialties are not in much demand, but exports of cloths and clothings are quite satisfactory. It Is not Europe alone, but the other geographical divisions of the earth that show well In these lines. A report frm the John B. Stetson Company Is Impressive. It says of Its foreign hat business thus far this year: DEMAND FOR QtTAXITY GOODS. Australia, very much better; Mexico, considerably larger and Holland very good; England, very good; New Zealand, where there was deep depression last year, orders now splendid. The most noticeable feature of our foreign trade Is the demand for high quality goods." There is no reason at present to donbt that the export business of the United States for 1922 will be greater than that of any year preceding the World War. GOOD IMPROVEMENT AMONG FARMERS. Improvement In the prices of wheat, corn, cotton, meats and other agricultural products has made a good change for the better In the farming districts. This Is reflected In general trade. Improvement In some of the manufacturing lines la not so distinct because of the orer-ex-panslon of many Industries in tho war period, the Natton today being overmachined. But in certain lines there has been a remarkable revival. This is true, particularly of lumber and automobiles. The lumber production, owing to the activity in general construction, promises to show a great increase. From a very low state of production the automobile industry has been broadening until now there Is prediction that this wil be the bunner year in output of passenger cars. Demand for anto trucks Is climbing. Orders for railroad equipment Indicate an excellent year. Road building Is on a
You, Should Feel Fine in , Moyf But You Can’t Be Happy When Every Day Brings That Nagging Backache and Finds You Tired, Weak and All Worn Out.
TO be well is to enjoy life—to share in the happy times of those aronnd us. But to be constantly ailing is to miss life’s pleasures and to envy the health and joys of more fortunate friends anc neighbors. Are you one of the countless folks to whom every day is a backache day? Do you feel older and slower than you should; get up lame and achy; suffer sharp, stabbing pains at every sudden move! And does evening find you too tired, nervous and d;pressed to rest or relax? To get back in trim, then, you must first find out what is making you feel so miserable
“Use Doan's,” Say These Indianapolis Folks:
ALBERT HANGER. 731 North Noble Street •ays: “Stooping ami hard work put my kidneys In bad condition and when I took a little cold the trouble waa worse. My back hurt so I couldn't work for a week. My kidneys seemed to throb and beat with the pain. The kidney secretions were unnatural, and contained sediment. I had heard so much about Doan's Kidney Pills I sent to the Haag Drug Store and got some. Doan's gave me fine relief and I have not been bothered much to speak df since.’•

greatly Increased scale and the building industry in all Its branches, looks like one of the best years in a decade. In construction of dwellings 102 G will probably be the greatest in the history of the country. In construction of industrial plants the year’s showing will be poor. Merchandising lines show cross-cur-rents. ' Retailers as a rule continue to buy sparingly. Few stock up liberally, preferring that the manufacturer or Jobber carry the goods. There has been a decided change, too, in the general attitude of the retailer. Through the war period and for nearly two years after’lt the manufacturer or jobber told the retailer at what price he could buy the goods. The retailer could take them or leave them. It didn't bother which to the seller. Now the retailer tells what price he will pay. The manufacturer and Jobber declare the retailers are making them the goats for what the retailers lost in the period of liquidation. SHOPPING MAKES PRICES STAY UP. Retailing costs continue abnormally high owing to the change In the buying habits of shoppers. Buyers price goods go from store to store and consume so much time of sales persons that it still requires three salesmen to effect sales formerly made by two. Savings banks deposits are very high. Appreciation In tha market price of Liberty bonds and in all classes of stocks aud bonds has had a great effect on public confidence. It is to be presumed President Hording based his statement on reports made to him by Secretary Hoover, who Is a pretty fair diagnostician of commerce, foreign and domestic. Whether he Is right or wrong the fact remains that, although comparatively few men In business realize it fully, the improvement In conditions within the last nine months is perhaps the greatest within a similar period in the history of the nations.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger. Radio in England Will Soon Be Public Utility With Rental Service. LONDON, May 22.-Governme.it sanction is all that Is needed to make radio a national public utility In England. News of this development follows reports from America that a national sj*stem of broadcasting, with rental of radiophone receiving sets In homes, was being planned there. That England Is actually preparing for such radio service In the near future is gleaned from a statement Issued by Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Company. In this statement. Isaac looks forward to the time when radio will be as popular as the telephone and outlines a program for an organized public service which the Marconi company Is ready to Install as soon as the necessary authority la obtained. IN ALL HOMES. “My hope Is that In time every home will have a wireless set," says Isaacs. ‘‘Onr program Is more particularly to supply the instruments to the householder on hire. “Our Idea is to have two or three broadcasting stations In different parts of the country and to have a program for different hours of the day. We shall transmit by particular wave lengths—if we get assistance, as I have no doubt we shall, from the authorities —which will be so confined as to reach only these particular receivers. Nobody else will be disturbed and the telephonic receivers will not be disturbed qjtber by wireless telephonic or telegraphic communication.’ This, says Isaacs, will be the start of a system which will spread’through the continent of Europe aud eventually will reach over the entire world. GREAT POSSIBILITIES. “I do not think that anybody realizes how big a thing this Is going to be," he adds. “A message sent out by the government or the police would be in every Thome in the country In a second. "We have been perfecting this system for a long time. We hnve been working in close touch and cooperation with the big American, German and French firms.’ Cost of such a system to the consumer would be cheap, says Isaacs. The re. reiving set would be leased at a modest annual Sum nnd the service rendered also for a small amount. OUR FACES NARROWER? NEW YORK.

Or there may be headaches, dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities. These are common symptoms of kidney weakness—usually easy to correct if treated promptly, but dangerous if neglected !

You may make yourself liable to a heavy fine and bo the cause of having the set confiscated. For none but a licensed operator may transmit radio messages. The Government regulations are strict on this score. There Is no charge by the Department of Commrece for the license. But a fine up to S6OO may be imposed for a violation. THREE CLASSES. The licenses granted are for: 1. General amateur stations, permitted to use a power Input of one kilowatt and operate on a tjyave length up to 200 meters. 2. Restricted amateur stations, located within five miles of a naval or military radio station, limited to a power Input of 1-2 kilowatt and a wave length of 200 meters. 3. Special amateur stations, permittee to transmit on wave lengths up to 375 meters. The applicant for this license must have had at least two years' experience and most prove that his operation will be of direct benefit to the science of radio. Besides these general classes, there are several special licenses Issued to universities and experimental stations. All stations are required to use as llt-

DAILY RADIO FEATURES
Inspectors Keep Watch on Amateur Stations
' tie power as possible to carry on their successful communication. Malcious nnd willful interference, or the sending out of false or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited. Applications for operators and station licenses of all classes should ba made to the radio inspector of the district in which the station is located. There are nine of these districts with their headquarters in the following cities: First District —Boston. Second District—New York. * . Third District—Baltimore. Fourth District—Norfolk, Va. Fifth District —New Orleans. Sixth District—San Francisco. Seventh District—Seattle, Wash. Eighth District—Detroit. Ninth District—Chicago. SPECIAL PERMITS. Those amateurs who live in places too far from tha district office to make personal application can get temporary permits if they satisfy the authorities by letter that they‘are familiar with all requirements. Even after an applicant has passed his examination for an amateur license, he cannot operate his station until he gets a station license from the Inspector. This is obtained by filling out an official blank with a complete description of the apparatus. If It conforms to the Government requirements, the license and station call is issued and the amateur may start transmitting. But he must remember at all times that he cannot commercialize his station.
Possibilities of Radio Stagger the Imagination, Says Engineer. BY DAVID SARNOFF, General Manager Radi* Corporation of America. Turning to the discussion of the partially developed radio telephone, the baste principles are exactly the same as In radio telegraphy. With the radio telephone the voice control of the electromagnetic wave Is substituted for the telegraphic signal control; vacuum tubes replace the oldtime coll and coherer; but everything else remains the same In principle, except thnt In telephony, ns stated, the wave Is modulated or changed in accordance with the vibrations of the human voice, exactly as Is the case with ordinary currents for wire telephoning. Transmission of speech or music has been made possible almost entirely by development of tbat marvelous device, the Tacnum tube. In physical appearance it resembles an ordinary electric light, but Inside the glass bulb are three metallic elements, a plate, a filament and a grid. A single ono of these vacuum tubes, of fair size, can generate as much power as would run an ordinary fan motor, or about one-sixteenth horsepower. There are tubes now being made which generate a power of twenty kilowatts, or nearly thirty horsepower. What are the possibilities of radio telephony when the art will have developed to the approximate perfection of wireless telegraphy? It is difficult to keep one’s feet on the ground In contemplating the subject. It staggers tbs Imagination. Think of radio telephony as a means of better understanding between man and man. creed and creed, and even nation and nation. On a recent Sunday, while I was at home, I listened to a sermon delivered by radio by Dr. Foster of Newark. It was a sermon on religion. Ills opening remarks ran somewhat as follows: “I can not add-ess you as
