LOOKOUT FOR THIS FELLOW
The following warning has been sent out by Station WJAG-, Norfolk, Nebrasl23.:
"We entered into a contract with a solicitor to put on a "prosperity auction" over WJAO.
"After selling 42 merchants he left town leaving several bad checks. Either he or his assistants made several collections which were not reported to us. Either he or his assistants made promises to merchants contrary to our agreement.
"We have stopped the aiiction till we can print a new series of money and exchange the old for the new and we will then continue the auction in order that we may fulfill our part of the auction. The solicitor came to us with good recommenda' tions.
"Any station considering putting on an auction of this kind may secure some siaggestions based on experience by writing WJAG at Norfolk, Nebraska. The idea is all right if it is properly handled."

ENGLISH BROADCASTING MONOPOLY
Another step in the British program to replace 21 small radio broadcasting sta¬ tions with eight large ones was taken when negotiations were completed for the erec¬ tion of a "twin-wave" station at Droitwich, near Brimingham, England, according to a report from the consulate there made public by the Commerce Department. This will be the fourth station of this type in the British Isles. The "twin-wave" stations were developed by the broadcasting monopoly of Great Britain so that one station may broadcast two programs simultaneously. In this way., a national program is sent out from the transmitter on one wave length and a local program s ent on another wave length, both of which are within the broadcast band.
According to the plan of the monopoly, the national program is sent out on about 100 watts and the local program at about 70 watts. It has been decided that the entire country may be better served with the eight stations planned than with the ex¬ isting 21. So far, two of the "twin-wave" stations have been completed. One of thes IS at London and the other at Manchester. A third is under construction i n Scotland. The fourth will be at Droitwich and take the place of the station formerly known as "Daventry 5XX". It will take about two years to complete the new station and place it in operation.
