Practical In Decade
Ottawa—Practical television within
ten years was recently forecast by
Colonel A. W. Steel technical adviser
to the House of Commons committee
on radio. More optimistic forecasts
were made by representatives of the
Canadian Association of Broadcasters
who added their support to that -voiced
by those who are urging the retention
of the system of private ownership
of radio broadcasting. H. S. Moore,
Toronto, leader of the delegation rep-
resenting the broadcasters, suggested
practical television within five years
and declared that the proposed seven
50 kilowatt stations would be of no
use in the operation of television.
Colonel Steel declared that television
used radio channels that were not
used by ordinary broadcasting and
that the two would not conflict.

Bridge Too Quarrelsome
For Married Folks Says Judge
Chicago — The bridge experts
finessed into a blunder when they iu-
viied Judge Joseph Sabath, famous
divorce court jurist, to make a speech
at a contract tournament.
"Bah, bridge," said the judge.
"that's the game that has caused
nearly as many divorces as mother -
in -laws."
Judge Sabath, who has issued
more than 50,000 divorces, turned
down the invitation and took the op-
portunity to issue the following state-
ment concerning bridge tables. bus -

"If a� husband and wife must play
