INVESTIGATION INDICATES RAPID GROWTH OF RADIOHONF POPULARITY OVER COUNTRY
. (By Associated Press) . i CHICAGO, March 21. Radio enthus lasts have increased ten-fold within the last few months, it appears from a survey conducted by the Associated Press and covering the central west, Kentucky and Texas. At virtually all points from which reports have been received there ar thousands of radio sets, particularly for purposes of telephony, where at most there were hundreds before. These tidings bear out a statement made by Secretary Hoover at the recent radio conference at Washington to the effect that owing to rapid de
velopment of radio telephony within the last four of five months, there arc
more than 600,000 radiophone receiv
ing sets in operation in the United
States, as compared with 50,000 a year
ago. I I
A striking example of the increase is furnished by the Columbus, Ohio,
where apparatus had been a drug cn
the market. There the number of
sets has multiplied from 200 to more
.than 1.000 within the last two months, according: to dealers in equipment.
Numereous farmers are receiving market and weather reDorts. and po
lice are receiving bulletins. Sermons, . concerts and health talks also arc transmitted. . ". -

formerly wireless operator on the ill-
fated Eastland, established communi
cation, dispatching trains and keeping the local newspaper supplied with wireless news from the Associated Press. The chief of police at St. Louis is experimenting with communication with patrols and with police of other cities. Policemen and firemen of Dallas,
Tex., are exuberant over a daily radio- j
phone program received at tne city hall. Latest reports from Dallas add that a church organization there is planning to provide church programs and concerts by radio at a Dallas hospital. Midwest stations hear concerts in Eastern cities. A dealer in equipment at Des Moines declares that wireless
telegraphy Is dying out there and be-!
ing replaced by radiophones for the purpose of listening in on concerts. Give Approximate Figure. Approximate figures are reported
from various states and centers indi-j eating the present number of radio i
sets. According to A. L. Benson of i St. Louis, division manager of the; American Radio Relay League, about j 90,000 radiophones are used in four states as follows: Iowa, 23,000; Mis-j souri, 25,000; Nebraska, 22,000; Kan-i sas. 20,000. In St. Louis alone there are some 2,200. The radiophones chiefly carry concert music, but in many localities farmers have installed them to receive market reports. j Cleveland, Ohio, reports probably i 15,000 radio enthusiasts, 1,000 sending-
stations in Greater Cleveland, virtually all amateur; and 10,000 receiving sets being used almost nightly. These estimates exclude commercial sets.
Cincinnati reports 500 sets.
From 200 to 300 receiving sets have been Installed on Michigan farms, and the increase in cities of the state is described as amazing. Indiana has 4,500 amateur radio set3 and Indianapolis 1,000 radiophones.
Wisconsin has nearly 1,500 stations

When Mme. Lydia Llpkovska, court 6inger to the late Czar of Russia, sings before her invisible audience of 500.000 at the Westinghouse Broadcasting Station, Newark, N. J., her voice is transmitted through this "phonetron." A silk cord connects the parchment to the mitrophone in the center of the disk, and the voice vibrations are conducted into joining copper wires which run up to the root of the building whence they are sent through the air.

paper giving a description and history of the station to any who will write In for it That Broadcast Interference.
An Interesting discussion ot the recent change In regulations and - the
threatened curtailing of amateur activ
ities, Is to be found in the last QST. Referring to . the new paragraph in
licenses for phone stations, which states that "this station is not licens
ed for broadcasting,", the magazine
points out that this regulation, and
the requirement of a limited commercial license for broadcasting, wire de
signed particularly to protect .the ama
teur telegraph stations, which were being snowed under by the multiply
ing amateur phones.
In a further discussion of the frlc-' tion between phone and telegraph amateurs, and of both with those who only listen, the editorial points out faults of both and the common ground upon which they may unite. The listener does not know the code, and has no intimation of the work done and place occupied by the telegrapher, it says. He does not realize
that there is anyone of importance
besides himself in the air and wants it all, just as the code man has wanted and kept it all up to this time. Also he may be handicapped by a simple, too-broad non-selective tuner, and ignorance as to how to handle it.
On the other hand, the code or phone man may have a wave that is too broad, and friction is furthered by
the relay man's disdain for or impa
tience with the mere listener. When
the latter is one of the most influen
tial men of the community, disaster
for the amateur may be In sight.
"The old days of free for all trans
mission are gone so far as large cen
ters are concerned, concluded the ed
itorial. "Amateur transmission has
had all the air but cannot hope to
keep it all. A "just and fair" distribu
tion of hours is asked in accordance with the majority sentiment and with
due consideration for the llstenert

Gray, 6treaked or faded hair is not only unbecoming, but unnecessary. Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and 14 ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It Is easy to use, does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off. Advertisement.

REFINING crude petroleum to produce a multiplicity of useful products is a highly specialized branch of industry. The refining of gasoline and the manufacture of lubricating oils each require special treatment. Motor lubricants are made from specially selected crude and the portions of such crude best adapted for high quality motor oils are extracted during the first operations of refining. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ii proud of its achievements; proud of its enviable record as a manufacturer of gasoline, and equally proud of its record as a manufacturer of lubricants for all types and classes of machinery. During 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the perfect motor oil, were manufactured and sold. This enormous gallonage went to the consumer with the unqualified guarantee of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that no better lubricant for an internal combustion engine could be made. Lubricating oil is the most vital factor in conserving your car investment. In making definite recommendations for lubricating your car this Company realizes the importance to you, and to itself, of knowing exactly what each machine requires. The responsibility of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is emphasized when you consider that in the territory served there are more than 3 million automotive vehicles under registration. These machines represent a total investment of more than 2 billion dollars. Every drop of motor oil manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is made to meet definite requirements worked out in the Company's laboratories by skilled chemists, refiners and lubricating engineers who have given careful study to the technical problems and their practical application under working conditions, which the oil must meet. It is because they have given such painstaking attention to every detail of manufacture and application that the Company has been able to produce Polarine, the perfect motor oil. It is this painstaking attention to every detail, in every branch of its business, that has made this Company a leader in the industry. It is by such sustained, conscientious, enthusiastic effort, to keep faith with its patrons, that this Company has won the confidence, esteem and respect of the public it serves.
