When Radio Is Expensive

Responsible For Lost Slecp On Part
Of Devotees

Radio has saved the world $60,-
000,000, says General Manager Sar-
noff, of the Radio Corporation of
America. What is the value of the
Sleep it has cost the world?

There is no question but that that
is one of the greatest troubles with
the radio. It causes a woeful loss ot
sleep on the part of its devotees.

Take a man and a woman who
must be at work by 7.30 or earlier in
the morning, who night after night
stay up with the radio until 12 or 1
o'clock, and this form of amusement
is expensive. The expense is not in
actual dollars and cents at the time.
but in lost rest, reduced energy and,
in the end, a breakdown of health.
