The mortality rate for automobile accidents in seventy-seven United States cities to Dec. 3 last year was 21.6 per 100,000 inhabitants, compared with a rate of 22.5 for the present year.

RADIO FOR COAST GUARD 270 Patrol Boats to Be Equipped With 25-Watt Sets. Approximately 270 patrol boats of the coast guard, United States treasury dcpcir tment, are to be equipped with 25-watt radio transmitting sets, displacing the present 50-watt transmitters. These small boats constitute the goverisment’s organized and armed defense against the smuggling of intoxicating beverages into this country from bordering provinces or nations and the radio is an indispensable medium in possession of the rum-running boats in that a rapid means of communication is necessary to the success of a concerted attack upon liquor-laden boats.

Would it be advisable to use three 112-A tubes in place of three 201-A tubes, namely in the detector - socket, one as a radio frequency amplifier and the other as an audio amplifier?—w. I. D. ANSWER—Yes; the 112-A tubes can be used as mentioned. Asa detector the 112-A requires 45 volts “B.” Asa radio frequency amplifier the 112-A requires not more than 67% volts unless a grid bias is provided. Operation at 90 volts “B” and without grid bias, as commonly used with the 201-A, is not satisfactory with the 112-A because of the high plate current taken by this tube. The 112-A is particularly well suited as an efficient detector, as an audio amplifier in transformer coupled units, and as a power amplifier Asa radio frequency amplifier the 112-A can be used in either the first or second socket or both. tt tt tt tt tt tt Vaughn de Leath, one of the foremost contralto crooners of characteristic songs, will be guest artist with the Champion Sparkers in the program which will be broadcast through the NBC system, Thursday night at 7 .30.

90,000 AGENTS NEEDED TO END SWAYOFBOOZE Vast Expenditure Would Be Required If Country Pushed Prohibition. Here is the second of a series of stories on the prohibition situation, showing the staggering cost to the government if it actually took every step possible for real enforcement. BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The federal government would put an army of 90,000 prohibition agents in the field if it undertook to check minor infractions of the prohibition laws. This estimate is based on the statement of Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran before the house appropriations committee that an appropriation of $300,000,000 would be needed if the government undertook “police work” to connection with its attempted en - forcement of the Volstead act. There now are about 4,100 agents in the field, provided for by an appropriation of $13,500,000. If the number of agents were increased in the same ratio as the appropriation, there would be* 90,000 on Uncle Sam’s payroll. Doran said also a system of federal courts covering the land would be needed to handle the prosecution of persons arrested under the larger appropriation. How extensive this system of Courts would have to be Doran did not say. However, if it is assumed that the business of the department of justice in connection with prohibition would grow relatively with the appropriation for the prohibition unit, some $200,000,000 a year would have to be provided. The present amount spent by the department in connection with prohibition is about nine million dollars a year. If the transaction in the new courts grew in the same ratio, they would handle about 1,700,000 cases annually in their criminal branches alone. During the last fiscal year 78,000 such cases we ;e terminated in one way or another. Close to two million p ersons would be arrested every year by the 90,000 dry agents if they maintained their present average.
