New Radlo Grade in Navy. | A new grade for radiomen in the Navy has been created—radio elec- trician, formerly gunner, radio. The first examination to be held for ap- pointment to this rank, which is that of a warrant officer, will be held October 19. All enlisted men hold- ing rates as chief radiomen or radio men first-class, who have served a! yvear as such, are eligible. The candi dates must be competent radiomen,| familiar with all kinds of radio equipment, generators, gas engines, storage batteries, etc.; be able to re- pair and operate same, together with testing apparatus. These candidates must be operators, capable of han- dling messages in international codes via radiotelegraph, and must also be Previously all radio warrant offi- cers were rated as gunners radio, be- cause most of the electrical force | came up through that branch of | artificers, and there were no electrical warrant officers. With the great de velopment of electricity and radio in naval operation the new grade radio electrician has been created. two-way program is the ultimate plan; as soon as the American super- power station is completed English | fans will be getting American. pro- | grams in exchange During’ the recent successful tests| 5XX, the Chelmsford experimental atation, associated with 21O, London, transmitted 1,600 meters and 25 kilo- watts. This was picked up by the corporation’s station at Belfast, Me. on a 3-mile antenna, rebroadca on 115 meters to the stations in New | York, Schenectady and Washington, each of which transmitted again on its own wave length. Interference from the Navy station at Bar Harbor, Me., hampered the test and the Nav kindly shut down for a time. The retransmission on 115 meters by radio probably also brought in unnecessary static and other interference which | will eventually be eliminated when wires are strung from Belfast to New York, completing the wire relay links of the corporation’s system.

Many broadcast listeners already hored with the great amount of mu- sical entertainment known popularly as jazz, are scared stiff of future Lroadoasts. There is small wonder, when it is realized that there are schools and colleges of popular music advertising that they can teach be- sinners how to render “radio jazz" in 20 lessons. Some of these organiza- ions link jazz definitely with radio, rting that their instructors can | teach all the modern tricks and unts the radio artists use in “breaks and fill-ins” on broadcasting pro- grams. The ads state that they in- Struct in the operation of saxophones, cornets, ukuleles, violins, drums and practically all instruments, as well teach syncopation and popular piano A number of radio artists are sald to be instructors.
