and ears to the possibilities of the radiophone.
It is a subject that must instantly challenge every
mind that houses whatever degree of intelligence
is required to cause a human individual to look
into the future and to look out for himself. Just

to performers in the way of royalties lor "air"
rights, but they themselves may be compelled to
pay royalties to composers for music broadcasted
on the ether waves. The producers of opera,
concerts, musical comedies and such who now are
finding wireless concerts broadcast by commer-

tile unusual publicity accorded them soon may
