THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1923 m CHATS MWITH (PavdCroslgrJK v Everybody likes surprises." Much of the popularity of broadcasting and reception 'may be attributed to the element of surprise which enters into U. - First there is the surprise of 'receiving distant sta tions with receivers designed "es pecially fcr local reception, i The next surprise, is found when tun ing in to a station and some celeb rity or musical organisation which is not a, regular feature of broad casting. ,is heard in a recital or dance music program, . j ; rrograms should not be made up entirely of surprise at trractions. Favorite entertainers should, have their regular time on program!! so the listeners will know when to tune in for the particular type of entertainment they desire, j The time has come for studio director, to realize the popularity f broadcasting rests with the lis teners .nd entertainment should be provided, which will interest the greatest number of them. xauce music is very popular, es pecially. so,, when played .in the new style of syncopation. Semi classical faiusic is also a favorite with the operatic and classic pro gram coming next. Talks, unless given by the presi dent of these United States: col lege professors and authorities, should not be broadcast, for the simple reason that unless the lis tener hears the discourse from the very beginning, much of the Inter. est is lost and the station from out which a. talk is given is easily tuned out. No radio talk should be over ten minutes long. j German University Breaks.

Some Irish Laborers in 21 Cent a Week Cottages DUULIX. Ireland owns more than 50.000 cottages, erected at the expense of the local author ities, to provide housing for labor ers. The policy of their erection dates from as far back as 1S83 when T. P. O'Connor serured enactment of a bill for that pnr pose by -the IJritish p-irliament, and it has since been largely ex tended. Rents cf one of these cottaees in the Cork rural district is only 21 cents a week. Complaint is made that the wropg people are now occupying the Cork cottages. They were built for poor agricul tural laborers, but it was stated at a meetin,? of the Cork county board of health that their oc cupants now include milk vendors, railway workers, masons, carpen ters, rate collectors and school teachers. ridden workers never see their pay checks, which are assigned to the agency when a loan is con tracted. After the agency deducts its interest charge the debtor re ceives what remains. j Though this state has a! drastic usury law, making the maximum legal interest rate one per cent a month, investigation shows as high as 36 per cent is icollected in some instances. To the high interest rates city officials at tribute the fact that some borrow ers cannot free themselves from debt. ij ) TIip -nancies onerate under a pawnbrokers' liecr.'.e law, which Permits a tcreator in!ercst charge. ti'O.ifrb they are not actual pawn brokers.

ESSEX -SIX COACH TOKYO, Oct 10 The Import ance of rice in Japan la shown by pji announcement that the Empire consumes 80,697,000 koku, or 403-485,000 bushels of this food staple annually. These figures represent an average for the last f've years and include 60,000.000 bushels of rice Imported from broad. America, shows. this year, the rubber company se lected an Oldsmobtile six sedan, as it "represented about the weight car we wantedj, and also believed it to be the best car in its class," to quote Mr. jStrachan. "It has been and is the duty of this car," saysj Mr. Strachan, "to wear out tire without the car wearing out of depreciating itself to a point whpe iit la too expen sive to operate. The Oldsmobile is. driven night and day by two drivers, each! man driving 10 hours and covering between 1D0 to 200 miles during his turn. This is a daily average of from 300 to 400 miles. - Sacks of sand, equiva lent in weight to three person are carried in the back ot the car. "Up to August 5, this Oldsm'j bjle had covered 44,028 miles at a cost of .076'cents per'mile, this cost including depreciation, re pairs, gasoline, oil, all driving and operating expenses, including drivers' ;time, and tires. Practi cally all of this mileage was up and down the Allegheny moun tains, with a certain per cent each day over unimproved roads. While on the road the car never travels under the legitimate speed limit, which in Pennsylvania varies ac cording to the circumstances and the motor patrolmen. 'It is only natural to believe that a car which has had this kind of service, .driven by men whose duty it is to wear out tires, would be ready for the Bargasse Sea of motor vehicles, particularly when our. experience has been that the average car, after It has gone 23,000 miles, begins to cost a lot of money and also a lot of de lays. "But this Oldsmobile runs as good now as -when we got it, and both paint and upholstery arec in excellent shape. The fenders have been bent and straightened several times, , but no vital part has had to be replaced." Previous to the purchase of the Oldsmobile, the Pennsylvania Rubber company used exclusively one Of the heaviest and most ex pensive cars made in this country for test work. sales. The fact that nearly all lines of business save the auto-' motive has slumped on account of the poor crop is attest to the fact " that the automobile is more of a necessity than a luxury. fppgqii COTTOV mOF 10011 BUT AUTO BVHIXKSS IS GOOD s i jy Champion is the better its double-ribbed silli manite core its special analysis electrodes and its gas-tight two-piece construction.
