INDIAN. PROGRESS.

Plans for Improving the Service.

Bombay, Ajk: 1. The Government of India's fu- ture plans of the development of wireless broadcasting in India are cutlined by the Times of India's Simin correspondent, who declares that much progress, on intoreating new lines, is likely in the near fu- ture.

The Post and Telegraphs De- partment is at present in charge of' brondeasting. but, as already an nounced, it has been decided to vest control in a new managing body, consisting of two Govern- ment officers, two business men. probably one each from Bombny and Calcutta, and two members of the Central Legislatures

It will be known aử the' fhdian Broadcasting Board. The Bourd. will

The Board will probably be cùn atituted during the current month. The Post and Telegraphs Department will then drop out of the business.

All that the Government has done so far la to provide the neces sary initial finance and to amend the import tariff so 38 to raise the duty on wireless apparatus from 2% to 10% per cent, and to abol ish the old system under which dealers had to contribute 10 per cent. on their involée values to the broadcasting concern.

An added inducement to join the police force is suggested by the story of a special portable wireless set for wearing inside a constable's helmet. The idea is that the officer ehall thereby be placed in constant touch with police headquarters; the possible approach of an offen- der fleeing from Justice will be broadcast to all constables who are likely to be concerned. At the same time, when there is nothing crming through in the way of off, cial announcements, presumably the policeman, will have an oppor- tunity of "tuning-in" to something a little more attractive--an if you see a constable pacing the streets with a happy smile on his face at For the privilege of sponsoring nothing in particular the inference they have to pay a certain fee, and will be that he has an excellent the announcer states that the pro- vaudeville entertainment "all under gramme is 'sponsored by so and his own hat."-Manchester Guar-so.

A Schoolboys' Experiment.

Zurich, April 24, According to the Thurgauer Zeltung, the high school boys of the little town of Habelschwerdt are to be credited with a

The meeting they were: mostly interested in was the one held just before Easter, when their promotions to the upper forms were settled.

Empire Broadcasting. Another proposal to be consider- ed is a business arrangement be tween the different countries of the Empire which will bring them all into the closest possible touch with the best available in the broadcasting world, at the mini- mum of cost.

This proposal was adumbrated by the British Broadcasting Cor poration, which is discussing the project with the different countries of the Empire.

True fame came to him in. 1911 with "The Everlasting Mercy," the first of a succession of narrative poems in which mastery of vigorous expression found its natural scope in the treatment of realistic themes. "Dauber," his greatest poem of the sea, and The Daffodil Fields," which tells a story substantially the same as Tennyson's "Enoch Arden," established him in the first rank of contemporary posts.

There are many, however, who would give to "Reynard the Fox," published In 1919, the Arst place among Mr. Masefield's longer poems.
