Ninety-eight per cent of the radios sold were for electric light socket connection* The fact that only 2 per cent of the receiving sets were for battery operation indicates that most of them were bought by city users*
The institute of Business Research which has been in¬ vestigating the rad:'. o situation in Germany believes that the pres¬ ent high rate of production and sale of receiving sets will con¬ tinue and that at the end of next year there will be a total of 5,000,000 radio listeners in the country.

WPHR WINS POINT AGAINST REMOVAL
George H. Hill, Radio Commission examiner, recommended the commission delay the application for removal of Station WPHR at Petersburg, Va. . from the air.
At the same time, Hill proposed WPHR be granted their application for a regular six months* license renewal to operate on 1,200 kilocycles, 100 watts night-time power and 250 watts power until local sundown.
Hill said there was an insufficient showing of evidence to warrant a curtailment of the service rendered by the Peters¬ burg station. He said also there was a possibility of interfer¬ ence of WMBG at Richmond with WPHR if the Richmond application for an increase in power from 150 to 250 watts day-time power were granted.
