Thirteen Radio Stations Appeal From U.S. Board WASHINGTON, (AP) With WCFL, the Chicago Federation of Labor station and FEB( Super ior, Wis.; carrying to court their fights for better assignments, sev eral controversies between broad -eastern and the federal radio coin mission are in litigation. WCFL, which operates part time, seeks full time on a cleared chan nel and WE IK! demands unlimited time on 12K0 kilocycles. Both ap plications were denied by the com mission and appeal was taken to tho court of appeals of the District of Columbia. Awaiting decision in the same court is tho appeal of WTRL, the Technical Radio laboratory, Mid- land Park, N. J., one of several stations refused renewal of licen- j ses by the commission last summer on the grounds they were not serv- j ing the public interest. In this court also is tho case of ; WNYC, operated by New York City, which is demanding full time.' Another Is the appeal of C. L.

Remember the Close Out Sale Perhaps the nations could get better results by holding a conference for the limitation of ambitions. ; A New York lady who punched her husband in the eye probably was only exercising her matrimonial right. v Tigers in India killed more than 1,000 people last year. But the blind ones in this country killed even more than that. The wife doesn't hold his arm because she loves him, but because that is the easiest way to stop him when she sees a tihop window worth while. Down in Little America, Antarctica, where the seasons are upside down compared with the seasons in Big America, the Byrd expedition is just at the present spending the winter preparing for the summer scientific and exploration activi ties which will begin in October. Constantly in touch by radio with the intrepid party, the world "back home" learns that live winter's labor is -calling-for considerable ingenuity of a sort that makes the explorers eligible for tho title of i inventor. They are devising better sleeping bags, windproof ' clothes, shoes that keep the water out and the feet health-' fully ventilated, an anti-frostbite mask and apparatus essen tial to polar aviation and life. News reports of the hardships imposed upon the explorers by Juno snowstorms and below zero weather makes it a wee bit easier for the folks lack home to endure scorching days and hot nights. After all, sleeping without many covers is better than shivering in a sleeping bag. i i KKPKCIAMY TI1K FOURTH The Fourth of July is tho anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of these United States. It is a holiday. The average citizen and his family expect to enjoy a "rest," by motor, by rod and line, by golf-club, by swimming-suit, by picnic-basket, by the noisy and futile fire-cracker; some,1 perchance, by a good old snooze at home. The two facts remain ; the Fourth of July is an important , anniversary; it is a holiday. How would it be for every American to combine, for as little as five minutes, those two facts; devote part of the holiday to thoughtful considera tion of the anniversary? i Do wc commemorate this Fourth the fathers who were the heroes of a magnificent event; or do we celebrate rather the fruits of their efforts? Would the Fourth be the groat day it is if their efforts had come to naught, or if the United, Slates had become a less imposing people? The truth is,! we celebrate both; both the father who founded and the wonderful thing that has grown from that foundation. In other words, we are remembering all good citizens of (hat day, and since that day, who have contributed to the nation- j al welfare. Kach Fourth marks a year in which many useful men and women have crossed the line; their memory, too,! is enshrined, or should be, in the celebration. To bring it nearer home, the time will come when we, too, are pait of the past for which the people of the United Stales wilt exult some Fourth of July. Does the quality of our citizenship, our service to the nation, merit that considera tion? Shall we have contributed anything al all to warrant our successors in perpetuating the occasion fur anything other than the noble foundation? ' It is a fair question, and a necessary one. The duty of citizenship is not arduous, although plain. It implies a high standard of national government, the choice of good men of steadfast purpose for public office, the intelligent and unselfish participation of every American in the business of government. A subject worth giving five minutes of your time to. TRY W. K. GILBERT CO. FIRST Three reasons for the SAFETY of the New Ford Cars NEW FORD SPORT COUPE with rumble seat 550 ( (F. O.
