BUILDING LOGS
Status of Reallocation
Awaiting Verdict From
Listeners Everywhere
By O. E. RCTTERFIEI.D
( Associates Press Radio Editor)
NEW YORK. (AP) Listen
Ing radiodom has had a taste of
the wavelength reallocations.
Whether it was bitter or sweet
may require weeks and- even
months to decide.
Those fan3 whose sole delight is
distance bunting and the others
who depend largely upon local re
ception gradually are building up
their station logs again and be
ginning to analyze the situation.
Some have found it much to their
liking, particularly In cases where
both distance and local reception
has improved. Others discovered
flava that only the practical ap
plication of a plan on paper could
bring out.
One development to be expect
ed was the absence of heterodynes
or equals in the background of
stations assigned to clear chan
nels. The heterodynes are due to
overlapping wavelengths.
In laying out the new assign
ments on 96 channels, the radio
; commission cleared 40 of them.
On 28 of these were put stations
of high power with a clear right
f wav On the other 12 were
placed 24 stations required to di
vide time. In most cases no other
stations occupy these channels,
although occasionally another
transmitter was granted a limited
time or a daylight assignment
thereon.
The remaining stations were
put on regional or local channels,
depending upon their power.
Local stations, given eix channels
end 25 or more occupying each
one, do not have more than 100
watts. The regional stations have
greater power s:nd from 5 to 10
of them are on each of 44 chan
nels. Where the stations are in
the tame locality they are required
to divide time.
Loral Station Short
The regional classifications are(
at both the top and bottom or tne
scale, with local stations only in
the shorter wavelengths. The
ciecr cfiannels extend from 468.5
raeiers to 252 melers, inclusive,
with an occasional regional chan
nel in between. In the clear sec
tion are six channels assigned ex
clusively to Canada. Canada also
t flares fix regional and two local
ciiiiiintls.
It was in the regional and local
channels with their great gather
ing of stations that most of the
unerterence centered. The quiet
ct itu clear channels disappeared
in.o a erowl of heterodynes once
iue hhtentr got away from them.
Whittles could be heard behiud
aiiuo.il every regional and local
fciaiiun, c matter its nearness to
ti.e leteiver. In the region-! sec
tion of the high waves reception
was somewhat better then in the
low waves.

the United States National bank
will hold a seed corn show In the

All farmers are being invited to
exhibit their corn. All varieties
wil be exhibited, In either single

and grown by the exhibitor.
Sixteen cash prizes will be

Encouragement for the cultiva

Willamette valley is being given
on the basis of figures recently
Issued by the department of agri
culture, together with a state
ment that "corn yields can be in
creased more surely and more
cheaply by the use of better seed
earn than in any other way."
These figures show that in Ore

from 846,J42 bushels on 31,972

els on 81,000 --es in 1927.

NATION'S LEAGUE
S
GENEVA. (AP) Plana have
been made for the operation of a
high powered radio station at Ge
neva, SwiUerland, to be used in
times of emergency by the League
of Nations to send messages to
all countries in the -world.
The radio station normally will
be operated by the Radio-Bulsse,
a company operating under the
Swiss government but in times of
emergency it will be taken over
by the League. The station will
have a long wave transmitter of
50,000 watts, supplemented by
ihort wave transmitters.
The secretariat of the League
ould decide which of Its own. tel
egrams should be sent by wireless
and which by the lines , of the

case, the Swiss telegraph adminis

would be given priority over all

Ask County Fund
For Settlement
A request that Marion county
funds be given the state chamber

was voiced by representatives of
Rilverton and Mount Angel in a
hearing before the Marion coun
ty court here Monday. Those at
the hearing were L. C. Eastman,
mayor of Silverton, and P. N.
Smith and Joseph J. Keber,
Mount Angel business men. The
three avoided any expression of
opinion as to whether the $600
now paid annually to the Salem
chamber of commerce for adver
tising purposes should be divert
ed to the state chamber.

Stations Limited
To Own Channels
By Radio 'Police9
WASHINGTON. (AP) The
federal radio commission is deter
mined to . prevent interference
with good ' reception jof programs
under the new allocation caused
by stations that fail! to keep on
their assigned wavelengths.
Commissioner Sam Pickford
says that broadcasters had ample
time to adjust their transmitters
to the new frequencies and sta
tions which are not operating ex
actly on their own channels will
be ordered to keep off the air un
til they can transmit correctly.
The commission believes that the
success of the new allocation de
pends largely upon the accurate
adjustment of the different sta
tions to their frequencies.
The policemen of the ether
the radio supervisors of the De
partment of Commerce are keep
ing a check on the transmissions
of stations throughout the coun
try and, are reporting deviations
from frequency to the commis
sion. A general order) of the com
mission stipulates that one-half
kilocycle is the extrerhe permissi
ble variation.

IjTES, all barbers are insane ... so are other mill

it is useless.
But you know that every barber throughout the en

An unstropped edge is like a row of needles. It

There is one razor and only one which automati

Blades are inserted or removed simply by pressing
