EUROPE FINDS WAY
TO DRIVE REVENUE
FROM RADIO FANS
NEW Y()i:K, Mar. 3.—The United
States leads the world in radio de
velopment but Europe, though still
hampered by governmental restric
tions. is beginning to “tune in,” ac
cording to E. A. Brofos, European
manager of the International West
ern Electric Company, who recently
returned to this country.
“England is the only country which
compares with the United States,”
Mr. Brofos said. “Germany, with 13
stations, is progressing rapidly.
Czechoslovakia sees the radio as a
means of establishing Prague as one
of the outstanding musical and cul
tural centers of the world. The
plan is to broadcast the national op
era. Other countries are also con
sidering musical programs to knit
the national spirit and to advance i
culture.”
Installation of receiving sets is still
illegal throughout continental Europe
generally, but outlaw listening is be-j
ing practiced on a wide scale, Mr. j
Brofos continued. The freedom with j
which the governmental regulations ;
are being ignored, he said, indicated
a trend of policy which forecasts ac
ceptance of broadcasting on a sys
tematic plan.
•Licensing 01 owners or receiving |
sets, and diversion or' part of the
proceeds to the broadcasting compa
nies is an almost universal charac
teristic ot the expansion. Germany j
has under consideration a plan for
renting receiving sets at a low price.
Spain makes it profitable for the
broadcasting companies by allowing
publicity.
“Expected interference between
broadcasting stations in the several
countries is said to have been one of
the reasons for governmental restric
tions of radio. Italy has effected a
combination of groups which has re
ceived the concession for the entire
country. It is understood that Spain
will follow this procedure.
“England’s system centers about !
the British Broadcasting company, j
which operates 17 stations. A li- j
cense fee paid to the government
by Si'0,000 people is partly diverted
to the company. Holland has seven
concerns, but no regular programs
are as yet sent out. France has five
stations, three of which are operat
ed by the government with a license
fee for receivers.
“Norway installed one of the first
broadcasting stations on the conti
nent and is considered among the
leaders. Sweden, with one station
erected and two in prospect, has
plans for a comprehensive system
of inter-linked stations. Switzerland
and Ireland each have one station,
but no organized broadcasting. The
first station in Turkey began opera
tion February 1. Hungard, Austria,
Denmark and the Baltic states have
just begun to awaken to the possi
bilities of broadcasting."
BRITISH PLAN TO KEEP ALIVE
MEMORY OF NOTED SPORTSMAN
LONDON, Eng., Mar. 6.—a group
of English sportmen are taking steps
to open a national sports museum in
London.
Exhibits would include busts and
pictures of noted sportsmen, and
bats, rackets, and clubs used by fa
mous sportsmen, amateur and profes
sional. A large library would also
be a part of the museum.
The sum of $25,000 has been sub
scribed for purchasing exhibits and
arranging them, when proper accom
modation has been found.
FRENCH FAMILY FOR 86 YEARS
HAS HAD NO SERVANT PROBLEM
COMINES, France, Mar. 3.—Eighty
six years’ uninterrupted service in
one family is the almost incredible
record established by Mile. Victoire
Desrumauv. She entered the Lecom
te household here in the capacity of
maid at the age of 14 and has never
left.
Monsignor Lecomte, Bishop of Am
iens, who belongs to the family
which ‘employs her, presided at the
double celebration of her 100th birth
day and her record service, which
was attended by all the prominent
citizens of Comines and the region.

OLDEST SQUATTER STILL
GOING STRONG
KEYSTONE VICW CO. NEW YOU*
Major James Edward Monroe,
youngest son of the fifth President
of the United States, who at the age
of 109, “tells the world’’ he is still
fit, hale and hearty, and a firm be
liever in the Monroe Doctrine as pro-1
pounded by his learned father. Ma-1
jor Monroe lives in Jacksonville, Fla., j
on property he has been “squatting” |
on for 65 years, from which attempts j
to drive him have been frustrated, j
many times by court intervention.!
When asked about working for his I
living, he proudly stated that he j
still works hard every day, though ;
he could draw pensions from Cong- j
ress for participation in four differ-1
ent wars, and when the World War j
broke out he tried to serve, but was
refused. He then worked in a ship
yard as a rivet passer and says that
he has not thrown one rivet out of
direction.
The skull of a child found recently
in South Africa is said to belong to
a race intermediate between man and
the anthropoid apes. Prof. Dart of the
Witwatersrand University estimates
it to be probably five million years
old.

FISH HAVE NO CHANCE
IN MUDDY UTAH RIVER!
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 3.—
An ideal stream for the lazy or im
patience fisherman, who craves nour
ishment rather than the thrill of the
catch, has been discovered by In
terior Department engineers in the
inaccessible, turbid San Juan River,
one of the Main tributaries of the
Colorado in Utah.
The swiftly flowing San Juan, call
ed Pawhuska (mad water) by the
Navajo Indians who live nearby, nev
er gets clear and sometimes it car
ries three times as much silt as wa
ter. At times the river runs with
a smooth, oily movement like that
of molten metal, so red and viscous
is it with silt. At such times the
first become exhausted and flound
er on the surface, their dorsal fins
projecting into the air. Then the
fisherman needs only to arm himself
with a club and wade cautiously into
the mud to catch a fish with bare
hands after he has stunned it with
a blow.
DOES LOVE MIX WITH
BUSINESS IN REAL LIFE
Is the business woman misjudged?
How much does love mix with busi
ness in real life? Does the entrance
of a woman in business tend to create
immortality? Does the business wo
man use her feminine charms to drive
good bargains?
These are some of the questions
asked and problems presented in “Tru
as Steel.” the Rupert Hughes film pro
duction now showing at the Liberty
theatre.
The story is a direct and sincere
page from life. It has been hailed as
Major Hughes’ most artistic film to
date. All of the action and situa
tions are natural and the sub-titles
have the Hughes’ sparkle.
