THE RADIO CRAZE VERY WILD
$5.000'000 IS INVESTED
EACH WEEK
May Carry Cosversation With Most
Anyone, Anywhere When Prop-
erly Equipped.
Washington, D. C.—While Secretary
of Commerce Hoover is rushing
through his radio regulation plan, the
tremendous national interest in the
new means of communication is shown
by the investment of more than $5,-
000,000 a week in the industry.
This estimate is made by H. Gerns-
buck editor of Radio News, and one
of the pioneers in radio activities
Seventy five broadcasting stations in
the United States serve more than
600,000 radio operators, both telegraph
and telephone. A large number of
these have inter-communication
through their own sending apparatus.
Equal to Oil Boom.
"The only parallel to the radio bus-
iness at the present time is the re-
cent rush to the Texas oil fields, or
the boom times of the motion picture
industry some years ago," said Mr.
Gernsback.
"When the entire country is in the
throes of depression and with nearly
every other industry that one can
name running part time or else at an
entire standstill the radio business is
the young giant that will soon rival
such great industries as the automo-
bile business—and this is not idle
prophesy. It makes no difference
what he makes—whether is it a knob,
a dial, a detector, or one of tile ex-
pensive outfits—all find ready sale
and overtax the capacity of every
maker.
"The public seemingly does not care
what it buys or what the price is,
and, as in any boom, it may be im-
agined that prices on radio goods are
by no means low. The manufactur-
ers and dealers are exacting top
prices.
"A situation of this kind ir the
worst that can be Imagined, for many
reasons. In the first place, it makes
for loose manufacturing methods, and
a layman who starts in the radio
field today is disappointed for the rea-
son that he cannot get results.
MELLON SLAPS AT BONUS
Sales Tax Plan be far Better
Tax Plan be far Better
Washington, D. C.—The soldiers'
bonus bill as drawn by house repub-
licans, was attacked by Secretary
Mi Hon as involving "a dangerous
abuse of government credit."
Replying to a request for the treas-
ury's comu.^at on the new bonus bill,
Mr. Mellon in a letter to Chairman
Fordney of the house ways HEd means
committee made public by the treas-
ury, criticized the features of the pro-
posed measure providing for loans
by banks upon adjusted service cer-
tificates as indirect and "forced," bor-
rowing by the government.
He suggested that "the direct and
regular way" to provide for a paid-up
endowment insurance feature would
be to authorize insurance certificates
with provision for direct policy loans
to be financed by the government. Mr.
Mellon contended that "It is both
dangerous and unwise" to attempt to
avoid the cost of the bonus for the
time being.
Deficiency Bill Is Passed
Washington, D. C.—Congress com-
pleted the deficiency appropriation
bill carrying more than $130,000,000
including about $74,000,000 for the
veterans bureau. The bill now goes
to President I!ard!"g for approval, the
senate having receded from one of
the minor items In dispute.

Fifteen to tewnty five cents higher was

there was a fairly liberal offering u-f well
ripened cattle, which topped the market
at $7.60. While not as snappy as usual,
the cow market Is maintaining steady,
and enough demand for an early clear-
ance. A f• ■%/ heifer yearlings reached
$7.50 with $0.50 top on choice shipping
tows. The spread on good cows was
wide, anywhere from $4.75 for not a bad
kind to $0.00 for sort that kill and sell
along with fed steers. So few here in
the calf division, that hardly a fair test
was m: tie, however, the market is ful-
ly steady, choice veals bringing $8.0Q.
It was a hnugry affair in the stocker
market this week, dealers paying up to
$0.25 for aged steers of around 000 pounds
average but of high grade, but more
could nave been handled on the samo
satisfactory basis. In feeders, they
would have to choice whltefaces to beat

In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night.
America calls the liquor Illicitly dis-
tilled, especially in the Alleghany
mountains, "moonshine." The appar-
ent reason is that it is believed to be
distilled at night and secretly trans-
ported without payment of a tax or the
authority of ollicial permit. The fact
Is, of course, that the secret stills
work as hard in day as at night.
England used the word In similar
manner, though not in the same
sense. Over there moonshine is
liquor that has been smuggled into
the country without payment of a tax.
The smuggling is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
land at lonely shores at night, and the
cargo is unloaded by the light of the
moon. It was this that gave the liquor
its generic name.
American moonshine is raw, un-
aged and often uncoiored spirits. Brit-
ish moonshine may be the finest bran-
dy from France, the choicest rum from
Jamaica. In the British Isles, especially
Ireland, the popular name for home-
distilled spirits is "mountain dew," be-
cause it is in the hills that it is made,
far from the prying eyes of the ex-
cise man.
The Truth.
"Vou can't reason with a woman."
"No, my boy; women are hard to
fool."
It is easier for the average woman
t> make up her face than her mind.
Prehistoric Ruins.
The fascinating Interest of the
ancient ruins In itliodesia, South Afri-
ca, drew the attention of the crcli-
eologists of the British association
during Its recent meetings at Cape
Town. Among these ruins the most
conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe
temple, which lies about 200 miles in-
land from the Indian ocean. The old-
est of the ruined buildings are be-
lieved to date back at least to the
days of King Solomon. It Is thought
that they were constructed by Semitic
colonists, whose chief object was gold
mining, and who have left Indications
of their worship of Ban! and Ashta-
roth, as described In the Bible. Ex-
perts believe that precious metals to
the value of $3,0(10,000 or $4,000,000
must have been extracted from the
gold reefs of llhodosln In ancient
times.
Sunday at the Zoo.
It was Sunday at the zoo. "What's
the trouble with the fellows?" inquired
the orang-outang. "Most of them look
as If they'd seen a ghost."
"It's this economy stunt," explained
the monkey. "They've decided to
transfer the keeper of the e'ephants
to the Insect house, and they don't
know how to break the news to him."
State of Washington.
The state of Washington was for-
merly a part of Oregon and was cre-
ated a territory in 1853. It was ad-
mitted to the Union as a state Feb-
ruary 22, 1889.

GOT BACK AT "BR'ER SIMCOX"
Fool Question Met Merited Rebuka
From Colored Preacher—Surely
Right on One Point.
Bishop Candler, of Atlanta, was con-
demning u certain theological contro-
versy.
"Such Idle controversies," he said,
"remind me of the colored preacher
who began a sermon with the words:
" 'Breddern and sistern, when de
fust man, Adam, was created, he was
made outer wet clay and set up agin
de palin's to dry.'
"A member rose In the back of tho
church.
"Tawson," ho said, incredulously,
'does yo ser'ously stute dat Adam was
made outer wet clay and set up agin
de palin's to dry?'
" 'Hem's mah words, Br'er Simcox.
Dem's mail words!'
" 'I)en, pawson, who made de palin's?'
«'Ur'er Simcox, set down,' said tha
parson severly. 'Such fool questions
as yourn would upset any system of
theology.'"
A Visible Excuse.
Tommy and Billy had been fighting
ol their way home from school.

"Dear Sir—As one of your scholars

Enthusiasm begets understanding,
^Did you ever try Grape-Nuts O
with ste\Ved prunes or peaches:
THERE isn't anything better for breakfast or
lunch than a dish of Grape-Nuts, with cream
or milk, and stewed prunes or peaches.
This delicious combination gives you the ele-
ments of a well-balanced food. For it contains
not only the material needed to build tissue and
furnish energy, but it also supplies fruit acids,
that help keep the system in good order.
Go to your grocer today and order a package
of delicious Grape-Nuts. You will find that it
will digest more readily than most other cereals,
and it will "stay by" you longer—because it's so
richly nourishing.
