MAYFLOWER TO GIVE PRE-OPENING DINNER %750 to Attend Banquet Sponsored by Designers and Builders of Hotel. Seven hundred and fifty guests will attend the pre-opening dinner at the Mayflower Hotel, February 17, which 1s sponsored by those who designed. constructed and equipped the hotel and is held in commemoration of i completion William L. Browning, assistant s retary and treasurer of the hotel company, is chairman of the dinner committee. On the dinner committee are: Fred Drew and Howard P. Fole of Washington, H. L. Merry, pre dent of the Mayflower Hotel Co. of New York and Washington: James J Conroy, Charles H. Darmstadt, Lew Harding, W. E. Roys and P. Jasperson, a'l of New York Honor guests and speakers will be Secretary of Labor James J. Davis Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph, ator King of Utah, Representative Stuart F.

Rev. G. C. F. Bratenahl, dean of St. Alban's Cathedral, will deliver the invocation, and Frank J. Hogan will be toastmaster. PRt de i one WILL HOLD EXAMINATIONS School Officials to Seek Eligibles as Attendance Officers. Candidates for the positions of at- tendance officers, provided by the new compulsory education and school cen- sus law, will be given qualifying ex aminations by the board of examiners of the public schools at the Franklin chool next Saturday morning at 9 elock While the positions cannot be filled until the appropriation for salaries is granted by Congress, Supt. of Schools Frank W Ballou, who h super- vision over the new department of school attendance created by the legislation, is anxious to establish an eligible list of candidates. Mean- time the present temorary attendance officers will continue to perform their duties, being paid out of the current appropriations. COURSES IN BUSINESS. Big Increase Shown in American Colleges. Increasing specialization in busi- ness operation is being reflected in the specialized collegiate courses of- fered for business preparation, with attendance in business departments of American universities increasing from 12,000 to 30,000 in less than 10 years. Dr. Glen Levin iggett, in charge of commercial education in the Bu- reau of Education, in making these figures public yesterday, said that notwithstanding the large increase in the number of students in the major of business learning, the 1 is still relatively small and in- dicates “inadequate college prepara- tion.” Accounting courses led all other subjects of higher business ed- ucation in enrollment, with 26,786 students. ———— ASKS ELEVATOR FUNDS. Coolidge Seeks $50,000 for State, War and Navy Buildings. President Coolidge today submitted to Congress a supplemental estimate of $30,000 for rebuilding elevators under the administration of the superintendent of the State, War and Navy buildings In a letter from Budget Director Tord explanation is given that in the second deficency act of 1924 an ap- propriation of $25,000 was made for replacing and repair of elevators in the State, War and - Navy buildings, and it is now proposed to replace with the sum of $50,000 four other elevators with two modern, electricals tors, and to install an tor.

Before y one be sece thoy are ax go acliars, buy securities from any d an your RADIO GOSSI Deep, died-in-the-wool scientists are now taking & serious interest in the many phases of radio transmis- sion and reception, and may evolve standards for methods, frequencles and measurements which will aid | broadeasting and benefit the denizens of radio land here and abroad. The American gection of the Inter- national Union of Sclentific Radio Telegraphy, ac a ent meeting in Washington, reported on many prob- lems on which research is under way. @ resume of the session by Dr. J. H. Dellinger of the Bureau of Stand- ards states, in part, as follows: “There is a great increase of in- terest in radio measurements, be- cause so many people, who have gone into all phases of radio design and engineering, have found it essential to secure real measurements. The accurate measurement of radio fre- quencies has attained international importance and popular as well as scientific inter because the reduc- tion of interference in radio recep- | tion depends upon it. The vast in- crease in the use of radio necessi- tates the operation of transmitting stations as close together in fre- quency as possible. A practical limit to such crowding is the accuracy of maintenance of station frequencies The work of numerous investigator: is providing means to give the neces- precision of measurement, con- of adjustment and absolute accuracy of frequency basis. Inter- national comparisons of frequency standards have shown a very satis- factory agreement. One of the inter- esting means of making such com- | parisons is the piezoelectric oscil- lator, a new device which is contrib- uting greatly to current progress especially in the use of very high fre- quencies or short waves. The piezo- electric oscillator is essentially a piece of crystalline quartz. Methods and apparatus have been worked out to use such a de; to control the frequency of a radio transmitting station, thus giving constant fre- quency stations. There is increasing use of appara- tus for measuring the field intensity of radio waves; a number of methods, some of them rapid and convenient, are being used extensively by inves- tigators. Dr. L. W. Austin stated that meas- urements show the average intensity of signals from Buropean and Cali- fornia_ stations has been somewhat less during 1924 than in 1923, The variations of the intensity of re- ived signals from the high-power station at Bordeaux, Fran have been found to be the same in France as in the Uunited tes, whereas no such correspondence in the received signals is found for measurements in the two countries on the transmitted waves from th high-power station at Rocky Point, Long Island. Meas- urements of the strength of signals from European stations show drop in signal strength just after sunset in Europe. Observations of signals from high-power stations over greater dis- tances than have been hitherto at- tempted as, for example, from Java to California, show that the low-fre- quency stations transmitted to great- er distances than hitherto indicated. Measurements at frequencies above 3,000 kilocycles indicate that the fad- ing of such signals is greater and the reliability of transmission at distances under 500 miles than at greater distances. In the Winter trequencies above 5,000 kilocycles are observed to be transmitted much bet- ter in the daytime than at night, the reverse of conditions with lower fre- quencies. Dr. A. H. Taylor reported that the committee on ‘“variations of radio wave direction” had found that a shift of the apparent direction of the waves from long-wave stations oc- curs at sunset. The direction shifts toward the east before sunset, re- turns to normal at sunset and then usually shifts to the west. The exact cause of this has not yet been fully determined. Some variations of di- rection in broadcasting station trans- missions have been found at might. At very high frequencies the changes of direction are very rapid and very great, so that direction measurments are quite_impossible. Measurements of atmospheric dis- turbances produced in low-frequency receiving circuits during the last three years indicate that their in- tensity. was greatest in 1922 and least in 1 mospheric disturbances indicate that their direction often corresponds ac- curately to the position of storm and | | { cioud areas over the country. At frequencies of more than 3,000 kilo- cycles atmospheric disturbances are comparatively mild in the daytime, but at night in the Summertime they are worse. E. F. W. Alexanderson, in pre- senting the report of the conimittee on “measurement of interfering radiation,” sald that a portable direct-reading instrument for field | strength measurements has been de veloped, which would make it possi- ble to determine the precise amount of interference, not only on the main wave of a station, but in the side bands and harmonic: The use of a standardized ~ direct-reading Instru- ment of this kind will make it pos- sible to obtain actual statistical data on interference produced by various radio stations and other sources. De Forest Defends Radio. Moved to the defense of the radio industry, of which he is often called the father, Dr. Lee De Forest, in- ventor of the audion. which made ible the receiving and broadcast- of the human voice, replied re- itly in the New York Herald- Tribune to the theatrical managers who have demanded a curb on radio as a detriment to their business. “The attacks uvon radio,” said Dr. De Forest, “remind me of the per- turbation of the professional photog- raphers many years ago when ama- teur cameras were first introduced. They were convinced that their pro- fession was doomed. The result has been, however, that people have been educated to appreciate the art of the professional, as evidenced by the prices they are willing to pay for portraits today. “The same situation applied to the advent of the phonograph. The im- presario was wont to ask, Who will to the opera if they can hear ruso in their own home? As a matter of fact, the phonograph has done more for good music than any other single influence. “In my ovinion, the theater has no cause to worry. When the air has been cleared for only good entertain- ment, when the ‘listener-in’ can turn on the loud speaker with the assur- ance that his intelligence will not be insulted with gross vulgarity, or be bored with unsought advice to use a certain brand of soap or prunes, then will he listen with avidity to the unseen voice. ~What follows?

This manager himself declares that the radio has helped, - rather .than harmed, his busi- Iness. As a result, other managers are falling in line and broadcasting, or cast- ing envious eyes at his crowded thea- ters. “Permit your prima donna to sing her unseen self into the hearts of the people and then watch your box office.” Kiloeycles May Succeed Meters.

In making the Class B reassignments a little more space was established by using tenths of meters, but as most fans will admit, it is a bit awkward for ordinary use, when one can em- ploy the kilueyele equivalents in ven numbers, just as the radio en- gineers have been urging. Probably all wave lengths will continue to be given out as they have been, paral- leling the frequencles in kilocycles, but it is now belleved that the use of the kilocycles of frequencies will become more popular in designating channels in the ether. Lest we forget, the rough formula for changing one to the other is briefly as follows: Frequency in kilocyeles equals the velocity divided by the wave length in meters. Announcers «t Radio Show. Listeners all over the country will tune their sets for Kansas City to listen to their favorite announcers during the week of March 2. That is the week when the Kansas City Electrical Club will stage its radio and electrical show in Convention Hall. As one of the features of the show, the club has invited famous radio announcers in the country to Kansas City to bLe directors of program broadeast from the show. The an- nouncers who have already accepted the invitation are George Hay of WLS, Harold Hough of WBAP, Lamb- din Kay of WSB. Bill Hay of KFK Gene Rouse of WOAW. Two Kansas City announcers, Lee Fitzpatrick of WDAF and John Schilling of WHB, will announce all their programs from a speclal glass studio at the radlo show. It is planned to have the visiling an- nouncers aid in the directing and announcing of the program. Another feature of the show be talks by radio experts planned to have a mammoth radio display from the Department of Commerce. will It also is KOA's Signals Travel Far. Ieard in New Zealand on the West and England on the East, KOA at Denver has spanned successfully the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and has | established its record long distances for program reception. From New Zealand, approximately 8,000 miles from Denver, word has | just been received that.the newly opened Rocky Mountain broadcast- ing station of the General Electric Co, first was heard on New Year evening. Report of reception was re- | ceived from F. P. Blackwood, Till street, Omary, in the state of Otago. Omaru is on the East coast of the South Island of New Zealand Frank . Bartlett of Birmingham, England, wrote his cousin in Denver, Dr. M. F. Bartlett, that he remained up until 4 a.m. recently, tening to Joe Mann's Rainbow Lane Orchestra, a regular Saturday night feature over KOA. The distance from Denver to Birmingham, England, is 5,700 miles OZicials pointed out that the fotal dis- tance between New Zealand and Eng- land embraces half the globe Previous high records for KOA wero Alaska on the North and Arequipa, Peru, in South America.

The dis- tance to Denver is 5,200 miles. Making Their Debuts. The new list of Class B wave allo- cations includes seven station calls, as yet unknown to the average fan. In fact. they are not yet all licensed. J. D: Vaughan is owner -of WOAN, Lawrenceburg, Tenn., . which, will operate on 280.2 meters. KFRU is the call of the Etherial Studlos, at Bristow, Okla., to oprn soon on 296.9 meters. Station WJAR, the Outlet | Company ~of Providence, R. I, be- comes a B statfon with a wave length of 305.9 meters. San Juan, Porto Rico, has a new station with the call WKAQ and wave 340.7 meters. It is owned by the Radio Corporation of Porto Rico. The State College of | New Mexico opens station KOB on 3456 meters. Miami Beach gets the | call WMBF for its new Fleetwood | Hotel and will tranemit on 3844 meters. WDWF is the new call of Dutee W. Flint's station at Cranston, R. 1, operating on 440.9 meters. Parties Are Broadcast.
