‘TEX’ RICKARD REAL TONIC TO RADIOJOSINESS Prize Ring Title Battles Send Sales Rocketing in City. Tex Rickard, adept at turning championships into cash, is not only the greatest prize fight promoter, but the best booster that the radio business has, according to dealers here. The annual prize ring events of the Texan master of ceremonies send radio set sales soaring. As an example, one dealer here erports that the B battery business has boomed this week from a normal average of 300 to 2,000, in anticipation of the Tunney-Heeney go, to be staged by Rickard at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. Baseball, the national pastime, is far behind fighting as a radio favorite, a survey shows. As soon as the date is set for the heavyweight championship match, the radio business starts on the upgrade, retailers report.

New High Is Reached When the week of the fight arrives, a “new high” has been reached, to borrow a term from the Wall Street jargon. Interest in the great national conventions, where the future presidents of the United States were chosen, was far behind that shown in any one of the series of “battles of the century,” if the radio fans can be used as a barometer. Dealers assert that interest in politics is on the increase, however, and the conventions served the purpose of arousing it. Baseball runs a bad fourth in fan interest, most of the dealers questioned agree. They declare that the day in and day out play of the big league teams attract few listeners. World Series Is Winner The world series, of course, is a different matter. It is an outstanding card and adds great impetus to the radio sales. Football leads baseball, with the world series included, it is contended. Autumn finds many an old grad with his ear glued to the radio and emitting a loud cheer for his alma mater, even if it is confined to the family circle. Clubs of the city specialize in radio football and special parties often are scheduled to listen in on a particularly important match. When the games are all played the real fans are eager for the reports and many who spent the afternoon listening to their own team’s victory or defeat at a downtown club, will hurry home to tune in on the results from other gridirons. Sports are far in the lead in popularity, but the high-class programs, particularly the great artists of the musical world, cause sale increases when widely advertised.

Is Your Picture Worth a Prize?

She looks like a sweet, wholesome, every-day kind of girl doesn’t she? And that’s just what the film producers seem to want, for when Anita Page came to Hollywood she walked right into a near-star part in a feature picture and signed a long term contract. Her general description is blond, ‘five feet two’—one hundred and eighteen pounds of real American girl. Next to some of the pretty girls we have seen in Indianapolis we believe she is one of the prettiest we have pictured in a long time. But perhaps there are others here who closely resemble her? We will give just $25 for a picture of a girl who looks like Miss Anita Page. Os the photos that are received the judges will select the one which comes nearest to resembling Miss Page and the owner will be richer to the amount of $25. To the one who’s picture is considered second choice there will be sent a season ticket to the Palace Theater, good for three months. Third choice will receive a two month’s ticket and to the twenty others who are the Anita Page type, pairs of tickets will be sent good for “Telling the World” which is the William Haines picture starting at the Palace Saturday July 28, and in which Anita Page has her first leading role.

BOULDER DAM STUDYTOSTART Survey Ordered by Congress to Begin Monday. By Timet Special WASHINGTON, July 25.—Next Monday work begins on the survey of the Boulder Dam project ordered by the last Congress. The new Secretary of Interior, Roy O. West, reclamation Commissioner Elwood Mead, and the five members of the newly organized Boulder Dam commission will meet at that time and plan a program of work to be done between now and December, when the commission must report to Congress. The House of Representatives, while it passed the Swing-Johnson bill authorizing construction of Boulder Dam, provided for this last study of the feasibility of plans already drawn for the project, to quiet alarm felt after collapse of several dams of a different type last winter. Members of the commission are: Maj. Gen. William L. Sibert, retired; Profs. Daniel Mead and Warren J. Mead of the University of Wisconsin; Robert Ridgway, New York engineer, and Prof. Chas. P. Berkey of Columbia University. The natives of Annam have an official who bears the title of Master of Sorrows. His duty is to curse in the house of a dead person to l drive away evil spirits.

VISION EMPIRES BUILTOFWASTE Chemists Conjure Great Industrial Worlds. By United Press EVANSTON, 111., July 25.—Great Industrial empires are conjured from the test tubes of chemical research by speakers at the American Chemical Society Institute, in session at Northwestern University here.

civilization by the processes of chemical synthesis. Sir James Irvine, principal of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, argued that the culture of the world is based on the ancient tradition of meager wealth won by hard physical toil and the whole economic system has long pivoted on the theory of “scarcity.” But science has swept away these bases of social organization by increasing production enormously and lightening human labor, he said.

Ants, Roaches Leave Suddenly Pests Hate New Chemical, “T. S. F.* Poisoning a few ants and roaches doesn’t solve the problem at all. There is now anew chemical that quickly drives them out of the house, and the pests couldn’t be coaxed back near it again. It Is an odorless, stainless powder, known as Talcimized Sodium Fluoride. For short, it is called “T. S. F.,” and any druggist or poultry supply store will sell you a big package of it for a few cents. Sprinkle It around sinks and doors, and watch the pests start leaving the premises. One application of “T. S. F.” does the work and lasts a long time.—Advertisement.
