The newest thing in radio broadcast receivers shown along Broadway is the radio bed. Os course, with high rents on Manhattan Isle it is of necessity a folding bed. The springs are used as an aerial and the loud speaker is built in the ornamental mantle head. This new radio cabinet may have its disadvantages during the day, but imagine the joy of the DX hound who can take hi3 ease and bring in all the stations when he is dressed for dreamland. The radio bed is a good looking piece of furniture and the manufacturer expects to roll into wealth on a radio wave. It is estimated that 25,000,000 people will listen in on the inauguial address of President Coolidge. Since there are half that many sets in America the number does not seem large enough. Ever so many radio parties will be given on March 4 and the audience will be much nearer 70,000,000. Static During Eclipse Charles H. Acker of Collingwood, N. J., reports the upper part of the house became charged with static during the recent eclipse. At night this effect did not appear,

FOREIGNERS LIFT RADIO EMBARGO American Manufacturers See New Surplus Outlets. Gradually the smaller countries of the world are awakening to-_ the possibilities of radio broadcasting as a means of entertainment and education with the result that their governments are beginning to lift the rigid ban against the use of radio apparatus. This awakening offers wonderful opportunities to the American manufacturer, giving him new outlets for surplus production. The British government for two years maintained a complete embargo against all foreign apparatus. This has now been lifted and the field is open. Australia is another important field for American apparatus. The Antipodes and South American countries have their radio seasons during the off season in this country. This is due to their location south of the equator. An instance of the world-wide interest in radio, even in the smallest countries, is illustrated in the case of Syria, Asia Minor. Prior to Jan. 1, there was an embargo on radio apparatus. This has been lifted. Austria is one of the countries where strict regulations still govern importation of radio apparatus, but despite these handicaps there have been considerable shipments of American made receivers into that country.
