HEAT
? electricity
I talked not long ago with a grfeat
electrical engineer. He told me a
new method of using electrical
energy to produce heat which is still
in the experimental stage. Laboratory
tests, my friend said, indicate
that the time is close when heating
buildings by electric current will i
.:ost only a quarter as much as cgal
>r oil.
A new and far more economical
vay of carrying electricity over long
iistances was announced the other.

ome commercially available, what

nethods of building and living!

iwcic uu means snori or pnysi al
force to make people conform to
egulations which run contrary to
heir beliefs, traditions and customs.
\11 "authoritarian" governments use
imilar methods
In Italy, Mussolini uses castor oil
11 huge doses instead of bullets. To '
nsure his control of the govern- '
nent, voters are given ballots confining
only one name for each of- '
Ice. To insure a unanimous vote,
>osters are put up declaring that
'anyone who does not vote is sick.
\nyone who is sick needs castor
>il.' That method is effective in
:eeping Fascism in power by "popu- j
ar" vote!

One reason I am always glad to I
lave the opportunity to visit Wash- I
ngton is that I can be sure of geting
the best oysters that can be,
^ad anywhere to my knowledge. To j j
ny mind, there is nothing quite so i
lelicious as a big, fat Chespeake -<iB
Say oyster, fresh out of the water
yoir can get thevn only in Belli- 4,1
nore, Norfolk and Washington.

I have eaten oys'ers on the Pacific vis

There is no oyster grown to equal 1 me
nose from the waters of the north- j ph
rn Atlantic coast. The oyster beds Ca

Someone has said that the first tar
nan to ever eat an oyster had some- ore
hing heroic in his make-up. You of
lave to be "raised*' on oysters to Fis

lo like them there are few foods more of

^ADIO . . . . since 1921 ma
I have my first radio broadcast ip on<
921 less than 17 years ago. No- Th
)ody else had heard a radio broa<J- Co
'ast.much before then. There were nir
hree radio broadcasting stations in
;he United States at that time ai)d re*
lone anywhere else in the world- ne:
The receiving sets were primitive sta
contraptions in which a small wire, Ga
-mown as a "cat's whisker" had to Br
je adjusted to touch a piece of rock dis
crystal at a particular point. soi
The other day I saw a statement wl
ssued by the International Broad- in
casting office in Geneva stating that Gj
there are 69,700,000 receiving sets in Th
ase throughout the world. In Ampr- pl<
ca there are more than 600 bro^d- frc
casting stations.
Therein is a conclusive answer to pr<
the pessimists who are always fre- en
wailing that progress has stopped is
