Television Sets In
Homes Aid Test
? .I . ?i .
New York.?Television receiving
sets spotted in 11)0 homes about the
New York metropolitan area began
to record linages and data aa the
Hadto Corporation of America begun
an elaborate program of field tests
recently. The television waves were
broadcast from the Umpire State
Building, 1,260 feet above the ground.
While official observers waited to
report on the reception and study
taethoda by which it might be improved,
portable, receivers were moved
about Manhattan skyscrappers to ob*
tain television Images in various positions
of exposure to the waves. Stressing
that tbey wished to pursuo the
work quietly, engineers said that several
months might lapse before results
were mudo knownv
There was no public exhibition ,of
tbe receivers, end the company announced
that none would be official
until the status of television was more
advanced. Perhaps eighteen months
or two years would be necessary to
perfect the instruments, they said.
Meanwhile attemtps were being
made to simplify the control of television
receivers so they can be handled
with greater ease by the average
person. Costly apparatus with television
sets representing an expenditure
of 1600 at present, will bUYO to
be reduced before the public can give
the sets wide acceptance, It was said.
Waves broadcast from the 10-meter
transmitter high up In the skyscraper
travel only in a direct line and can
be received by sets within sight of
the Empire State Building, but englneers
were dubious about their value
to sets located In indirect positions.i
Part of their project, it was said, will
be to determine how television lineof-slght
waves may be bent around
to television sets by means of reflectors.
Seek Fortune From
Pre-War Cotton Sale
New Orleans, July 16.?Ben H. J.
Scull of Morrllton, Ark., appealed to
the New Orleans cotton exchange yesterday
for records of a pre-Civll War
cotton transaction which may bring a
fortune. |
Henry Plauche, secretary of the ex-j
change, said Scull wrote that his
grandfather sold 2,000 bales of cotton
before the Civil War and that the
payment was deposited in a,European
bank.
At the rate of 13 cents a pound, at
about which price was selling in 1868,!
(he sale was for approximately $130,-1
000.
Scull said he believed the money I
had drawn interest since Its deposit, j
He wrote the bank book was sent
to his father, but that it was afterwards
destroyed, a Are. He said
some proof of theTlhthsaction is needed
to obtain title to the deposit. |
Secretary Plauche replied the cot-,
ton exchange was not organized here
until after the Civil War. The firm
which Scull said handled the transaction,
Moses, Greenwood and Comppany,
is. out of business.
Might As Well
The Sunday drivers had picked the
farmer's fruit and his flowers, and
their car was full of plunder. Pointing
to a if unexplored highway they
inquired of the farmer:
"Shall we take this road back to
the city?"
"You might as well" replied the
fanner, "you've got almost everything
else!"

MOW CAN A FARM ROY OIT
4 FARM OF Hl? OWN7
Ambitious, intelligent young men
who love farming and ha^e* every
mental and physical requisite fof success
but have no land and no money
present a human problem to which
various federal agencies are at last
giving attention.
At a recent meeting of Southern
leaders of vocational agriculture It
was voted to adopt as a direct responsibility
a "placement program"
for graduates in vocational agriculture.
While the program is still on
an experimental basis, The Progressive
Farmer points out that It has unlimited
possibilities, and summarizes J
It as follows:
The bringing together of promising I
young men between 21 and 30 and financial
agencies and institutions wijh
farms to sell or money to lend on
farms on terms that will be mutually
advantageous. j
Helpiqp students, through their supervisor
practice program, to build up
cash and croequlties that will ,enable!
them to operate and eventually ..to I
purchase a farm. '
Increased attention by teachers In
the classroom in supervised practice I
to the business problems of farming.
. Wise supervision and help to the
farmers after they are located, to insure
every reasonable prospect of I
success. I
Continuing The Progressive Farmer]
says: i
"There Is the wide open field of
opportunity for a carefully planned
placement program.' For despite all
other factors, there Is an astonishing-1
ly large number of good farms fori
sale and probably a much larger num-1
ber that within a few years will inevitably
change hands. A placement I
program can bring sellers and poten-1
tlal sellers and young farmers together
where individual methods have failed.
.
That the placement program will I
move slowly at first there can be no
doubt, nor should young farmers anxious
to become owners become unduly I
hopeful 9f immediate assistance. Hope J
lies In the gradual development and I
spread of the program and iu the
now elearly recognized fact that the
best prospect for a successful farmer I
Is the ambitious young man In good!
health, well-acquainted with sohnd I
farming methods, even though his I
capital may be small." I
ALCOHOL AND LIFE IN8URANCE J
Life Insurance companies are doubt-1
less in the best position of any of
4U8 to answer the question recently
asked In a leading magazine, "Is al-j
cohollsm increasing?"
According to the findings of^lmfl
of the mid-western comjjtai^es'^'qi^j}-1
ive use of alcohol showV^^liScftas^
of 13 per cent since a yetfFag0~ as h|
cause of unlnsurabllity among people
under 30, and an increase cd/l83*per I
cent for the same age group slncS
1932."
It should be noted that the company
does not assert that there has
been an increase in the consumption
of alcoholic beverages but it does I
state unequivbcally that there has
been that inorease in unlnsurabllity I
because of excessive use of alcohol. I
It Is not illogical to deduce that there I
has been a marked Increase In drink-1
ing, from these facts. |
_ The findings of this company indi-1
cate that the greatest increase in
drinking is among people between the I
ages of 30 and 45. Too many people I
have abused our young people with I
respect to the use of liquor, but here I
are some figures which conclusively]
point out that people In early middle I
life are the real offenders.
It is also interesting to note that
the company flmjs that, "rejections of
women for excessive alcoholic indulgence
are negligible In number." We I
are prone to make mental note when
a woman drinks, particularly in a public
place, because in other times it
was not done. J
The consumption of liquorsHs un"
questionably on the increase although I
liquor distillers have been disappointed
over the development of their business
since the repeal of the amendment.
If the Increase is to be halted it
will be the result of an intensive
campaign of education against the
practice. That, coupled with the requirements
of employers who will refuse
to employ those who drink, will
soon swing the tendency In the other
direction.?Exchange.

appeals for lower New York, has upheld
