EUROPE HEARD; TESTS SUCCESS Radiating Receivers Bad, Radio Expert Says, By ARTHUR IT. LYNCH, Editor Radio Broadcast. Copuriuht, 1 ~i. f>u United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 3. —Our week of listening for stations on the British Isles and the European continents is over, and, as wo see it in retrospect, we feel extremely happy over tha success we have had. An international venture of this sort would only lie a complete success if every listener on the North American continent cotild pick up at will any one of the European stations and hold it as long as he desired. That is a possibility for the future, and, judged by such standards, our success was not complete. The greatest single obstacle yet to be overcome is the radiating receivers; 90 per cent of the thousands of reports we have already received complain about this pest of the ether. If for no other reason, our tests have succeeded in demonstrating the great harm done to the industry by penny-wise and poundfoolish manufacturers arid dealers who s’ll “squealers.” SAVINGS ON DECREASE Postal Receipts Register Drop of $7,837 Since -lan. 1.

WINTER BUILDING GROWS STEADILY “That the public. and -.especially the building public, is beginning to realize the possibilities of winter building, is proven by the calls which come into the office of the Union. In Castle Hal! 81dg.,” said J. O. Watson, secretary of the local Bricklayers' Union. “It used to be that we had but small need of an office during the winter months outside' the n -e is of our ort! itl business. But the last few years have brought a change, and now all through the winter wo are called on. either by phone or in person, by the prospective builder for th * trv •s <-f our members or for a ’vior direction on all sorts of ,-r pertaining to the building game from ti. -so who have not tri- 1 it before or during cold W”ather.
