Items of Interest to Dealers and Jobbers Gathered

The first scheduled public hearing in which an indi-
vidual member of the Federal Radio Commission
will take testimony outside of Washington, has been
set for Thursday, September 8, at Indianapolis, Com-
missioner H. A. Bellows presiding.
The United States exports of radio apparatus de-
creased 12 per cent for 1926, the total value being
$8 794,453, as compared with $9,903,787 in 1925. Ex-
port figures for the first half of 1927, however, indi-
cate that the trade is reviving as the exports in-
creased in value more than $450,000 over the same
period of 1926.
With all members of the Federal Radio Commis-
sion with the exception of Admiral Bullard, chair-
man, out of the city, no more public hearings are
scheduled to be held in Washington, D. C , until
October 4. Until then, all of the commissioners
will conduct surveys in their respective districts and
some will hold special hearings in various parts of
the country, it has just been announced at the Com-
mission.
Coordination of the international use of radio may
be expected to be established by the International
Radiotelegraphic Conference to be held in Washing-
ton beginning October 3. The object of the confer-
ence, said Secretary of State Hoover, who is chair-
man of the American delegation, is to assign wave
bands to the different types of radio services em-
ployed internationally so that interference will be
reduced.
The National Radio Exhibition, which will take
place at the New Hall, Olympia, London, from Sep-
tember 24 to October 1, is being organized by the
Radio Manufacturers' Association, Astor House, Ald-
wych, London, W. C. 2, and will be unique of its
kind.
(iround-to-p'ane conversation was maintained over
a distance of 150 miles in a recent flight to test radio
telephonic communication, according to a statement
just issued by the Bureau of Standards, Department
of Commerce.
ADVICE FOR EXPORTERS.
TO
Your transportation problems can be solved quickly
and accurately if you will communicate with the
transportation division of the Bureau of For-
eign and Domestic Commerce, which furnishes
handling charges and accurate costs. "Why risk
the hazard of poor packing, or why deal with unre-
liable, freight forwarders? Why patronize unsuitable
warehouses in foreign countries? You can safeguard
yourse'f by writing to this division" is the advice.
"Do you know that this division has five field
men, located at strategic foreign points, who devote
one-half of their time to transportation problems;
that the Transportation Field Surveys Section co-
operates with the regional advisory boards of the
American Railway Association throughout the coun-
try and assists them in their domestic rail problems;
that the shipping research section is conducting sur-
veys of foreign ports, stowage of ships' cargoes, s t o r -
age factors, cargo handling, etc.; and that the divi-
sion's experts are all practical minded toward any
transportation problems?
Let the transportation
division help you."
VALUABLE VIOLIN BOWS.
Some interesting examples of old Italian and other
violins and bows were auctioned by the Reynolds
Galleries, 47, Leicester Square, London, W. C. 2,
on July 26. An example (1760) by Johannes Bap-
tista Guadagnini, of Parma, realized $2,400. Other
good prices were $650 for a Montagnana specimen,
and $625 for one by the Florentine Antonio Mezadri.
A total of $10,575 was realized.
