4-MILE BEAM OF LIGHT TO DETECT ICEBERGS Plans For Maiden Voyage BroadcastTM
Clydebank, Jan. 1.- A new safety measure for the Cunard White Star liner the Queen Mary is being experimented within Messrs. John Brown's 'shipyard here, and if the tests now being carried out are successful, the liner will have a powerful light beam to warn the officers of any obstacles in her path. The beam, which will be connected with the ship's wireless system, will form an are of light extending for four miles in the direction the Queen Mary is steaming. CELEBRITIES' BROADCASTS
Any obstacle such as an iceberg or a wreck will break this beam, and an officer in the charthouse will receive a warning flash.| The liner's course can then be immediately changed.
The most remarkable radio experiment ever attempted on the maiden voyage of a liner will be made in the vessel when she sails from Southampton on May 27.
Listeners in their armchairs in England and in the United States will be able to switch on their sets and follow the events taking place ivorld In the wonder ship of the almust as well as if they were on board,

Revenue Hold-Up
The not revenue for the year showed an Increase of £3,500,000, the total being £289,000,000. The increase would have been larger still but for the Budget remissions of duty on beer, silks and heavy oil.
