James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, Issued a statement today branding conditions in the alley settlements here as a “menace of the gravest kind to the health and well being of this entire city."” Bishop Freeman sald that he had heard befors coming to Washington that the alley situation here was ex- ceedingly -bad, “but I confess I had no adequate-conception of it untfl, in company with Mrs. Archibald Hop- kins, T made my own visit recently,” ho said. Situation Seems Incredible. “It seems Incredible that in a city 23 beautiful a8 this such a situation should exist/” the bishop continued. “Repeateil ‘and sporadic efforts have been made to improve the situation, but for one reagon or another, either Five Tons Malaria Sufferers Five tons of quinine, constitut- ing one of the largest shipments of this medicine ever made, will leave New York for Piraeus Feb- ruary 9 on the steamer Themisto- cles to relleve the epidemic of ma- laria threatening in Greece. It is estimated that twenty tons of qui- nine will be required before the end of spring. The shipment is made by the Red Cross on request of the Amer- ican charge at Athens, who has advised the State Department of the urgent need in that country for the medicine.

NEW WCAP BROADCAST STUDIO | ALLEYS OF CAPITAL| Quinine to Greek | NOW READY FOR FIRST CONCER Two Rooms Provided for Use of Artists and Equip- ment Represents Best Obtainable in World of Radio. The broadcasting studio of WCAP, the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company, occupying & suite of rooms on the third floor of the Homer buflding on 13th street, be- tween F and G streets, has virtually been completed. FPlans are being made to broadcast the first program from the new studio next week. In entering the studio at room 300, the Homer building, the visitor is admitted to a tastefully furnished reception room or lounge in which the homelike atmosphere of a colonial dwelling has been carefully preserv- ed with a noticeable absence of over pretentious luxury so often in broad- Two shades of gray predominate in all three rooms of the studio. These colors have been toned down by the application of soft dark colors in the drapes and upholstery. Studio B, a small room located next to the reception room, is to be used by speakers and lecturers. Here the | speaker will be seated at a table upon which 1s mounted a microphone and manuscript holder. Studio A is a large room connected with the reception room, and studio B by a hallway which also glvgs ac- cess to the control rogm. In' both studios the draperies on the walls are 80 hung that they may be adjusted to glve the correct degree of deadening for the particular kind of entertain ment being transmitted. Bands re or singer, and a speaker requires less deadening. In every case the studio director may make the proper ad- justments. These hangings are of light gray monks cloth, which has been found to be more efficient and less costly than many other materials used in other studios to obtain the deadening effect. Hoom for Ammouncer. A small soundproof chamber with a double glass window separates atu- dios A and B, awd from this room the announcer will operate the controls and signal lights in the studios. The progress of the different operations is shown by colored lights, which sig- nal the artist when all arrangements are complete for that particular num- ber.

Several new types of measuring in- struments have been developed and installed which enables the engineer o determine the gain of amplification attained by any particular group of amplifiers in the broadcasting system. An input operator is constantly monitoring the current which passes ||| through the input control panel to||| the radio transmitter. A part of the || input to the office building line is diverted to & loud speaking equip- || ment, which keeps the input operator informed as to the quality of the music or speech and enables him to make necessary corrections.
