...smaller radio transmitters is a matter of convenience and utility. National Broadcasting Co. last week exhibited a three-inch cubical box with slender, demountable, 10-in. antennae projecting on each side.

In two other counties in my district the New Dealers have employed three men, Government agents at good salaries, to roam over the hills in Wright and Howell Counties hunting for Indian mounds. After several weeks' search I asked if any mounds had been found, and the answer was, 'Nope; but we're still hunting for them.'... In another county a bedbug inspector was employed to inspect...
