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

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

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.
