Half of World's 20,000,000 Set Are Said to Be Owned in United States
Washington, (UP) - Radio communication, once a plaything of scientists in their laboratory, is by no means a futuristic development and trending of thought, according to a world survey recently conducted by the Commerce Department.
Broadcasting stations, the report shows are operating near the Arctic Ocean in the southern hemisphere. From Greenland to Ceylon and from Yugoslavia to Antarctica, they turned in to catch practically the same type of programs given in the United States.

In the short decade since the in-
clusion of the other for popular use be-
gan, more than 20,000,000 radio sets have been placed in homes all over the world.
Government Programs Given
Though the United States uses nearly half these sets, Great Britain and Germany have 2,500,000 each; France has 1,250,000; Japan 550,000; Belgium 250,000; Australia Cockroachlook and Italy cash have more than 250,000.
While American radio fans are entertained by programs provided by advertisers, in most European countries, the government owns the broadband stations and pays overtime in boxing, the main at the food speaker.
European stations generally out- rack those of this country in power, it is aid. Russia and Finland each maintain stations with 40,000 wattts at 20,000 and 29,000 wattles each; France has one of 20,000, while the largest British station is rated as 16,000 watts.

Plumbers Repair Pipes and Take Costume Prize
Harcourtie, Yorkshire. (UP) — A plumber and his mate were called to repair a burst water pipe at a big hotel here.
When the job was finished they walked into the hallroom where a fancy-dress dress was in progress, as the best costumes were to be given.
The two men were in their working clothes and carried their tools, so they could do the manual "mahi", and entered the contime competition. To their surprise they won.
The students at the University of Denver will pay an additional $2 on their enrollment fee for the school annual. This practice was voted to be by the committee than the customary $1 which only the students desiring the annual used to pay.

Airships Are to Be Giants
Cabins Will Accommodate Says Traffic Manager
Dallas, Texas. — (UP) — Giant airlines with cabin accommodations for 50 or more passengers will be an integral part of the airline's H.J. H. McNally general traffic manager for the Universal Aviation Corporation of Chicago, said when it began.
According to McNally, the giant airplanes of the future will have a wing spread of 300 to 400 feet. The present cabin plane and fowler, which will be able to fly, will be eliminated, be products, "A normal cruising speed of 300 or more miles per hour is probable. The airplane manufacturing plants would be in engines. The size of the future plane will only be limited by the power provided by the motors. We are now carrying hundreds of gallons of gasoline and hundreds of pounds of baggage in the wings and the possibility of also carrying passengers there, we have carried the cabin, is a mathematical one."

Berkeley, Cal.—Every new level pave at the University of California is the annual Ford joisting tournament, which is just a high school member for those with good grades. The dents control all available old Fords, tie them together with heavy ropes, shape them in reverse and then drive like every thing. Great for over 40 years, but the machines. Probably the idea was fostered by some rascally auto salesman.
