Proudly he announced that the Federal Radio Commission had approved RCA's application to expand its domestic radio system, which has hitherto been confined to a transcontinental circuit between Manhattan and San Francisco. In Chicago, Washington, New Orleans and Boston RCA will erect stations to compete directly with the telegraph companies. And between Manhattan and Philadelphia it will start the first domestic radio facsimile service in the U. S. If successful, RCA hopes to expand this type of service throughout the U. S.

For the legal process has enabled the real defendants--Torgler, Dmitroff, and Teneff...
...receiving than the reported weekly $200. - ED. Straightened Murphy Sirs: "Publisher Murphy . . . straightened his spine by special exercises at the age of 48." (TIME, Sept. 4, p. 14.) No more stooped than 90 % of TIME readers. I have for years sought an exercise that would result in an erect carriage.
