" 34 HIGH-RANK ARTISTS . IN BROADCAST LIST | Recent Announcement of At- water Kent Held of Impor- i tance to Infant Industry. BY SIGMUND SPAETH, Noted Music Critic. The recent announcement of At- water Kent concerning radio pro- grams to be broadcast under the aus- pices of his company has a real sig- nificance for the overgrown infant industry as well as the underfed, ma- ture public. It is made quite clear for the first time in radio histo artists of the highest rank \\m ac- broadeast their performances|,, and on a sound tually regularly, cial basis. Heretofore it has become increas- that the whole radio situation was economically unsound This was because the consumer was s0ld something which could be valu- able to him only according to cumstances over which he had no control. His radio set was of no carthly use to him if he could not tune {n on an adequate program. The broadeas commer- ingly evident ations hereto- fore held the key to the situation. Obviously they could not afford to engage the type of talent that would be consistently satisfactory to their clients, They had to depend largely on volunteer offerings, or such per- formances as were frankly tied up with some form of advertising. Air Filled With Dull Talks. The patient radio listener became more and more dissatisfied. He had paid for his set, but the air was filled with dull talks on the value of any snd every commercial article, the earnest endeavors of voung musical students and the sprightly stalling of professional announcers. The recognized artists of the con- cert and operatic field held them- selves aloof, and wisely. Radio was cutting in on the sales of phono- graph records and keeping people away from the recital halls. A few ing s spasmodic attempts were made by the leading phonograph companies, to bring the public back to the enjoyment of records by freely offering their artists on the air, and thus drawing attention to the greater and more permanent possibilities of disks. But while the of McCormack and a celebrities created it the whirling broadcasting few other porary sensation, flash in the pan. The Atwater Kent plan have more solidit nd chance of practical success. Every- one knows by this time that “some. lhhl;: must be done for the radio pro- ' They are dying of dry rot. however, are avaflable plenty, quite willing to work for audience at the ear pho recompen: Mr. Atwater tem. proved only a seems to a better in an loud speaker and the if only they are properly d for their services. Kent can afford to pay these artists a satlsfactory fee, for he has radio sets to advertise, and he hopes that through these the audi- ence for his concerts will grow into the millions. It is a practical idea, and one which will appeal to the prac. tical radio fan. Radio as a force in America today is no stronger than its best program. Without a dependable and enjoyable suceession of musical and otherwise entertalning features, easily cessl- ble on the air, the average radio set degenerates into a pile of junk as soon as the novelty of scientific experiment has worn off. 9:00—New York: Children's hour: stortes: 10 TO 10:00—Rossville, N. 0—Philpdeipia; 0—Cinclunatt: Sun Seterson City Atlaata: 10: ‘5—?!“'?‘“([)' 10:50—Boston b &) Bibe lecture by Judge school ethodist urch services Dotroit: St. Chicago: Louisville choir: soloists ..

Special Dispateh to The Sta CHICAGO, October A newly proven invention which prevents a broadcasting statlon from slipping from its assigned wave length, thus eliminating a condition causing 95 per cent of present radio interference, has just been installed by station WBBM. The device is known as the piezo crystal, and according to Leslle At- lass, co-director of the station, it will hold WBBM constantly to fits 226. meter wave length, preventing even the slightest varfation, much as a governor controls the speed of an engine.

You will also have to have some drawing paper. If you are going to follow the prac- tice of laying out your holes direct on the panel by measurement, you should provide yourself square and with « a centerpunch.

A flat file is very useful if you are £oing to do any amount of experi- mental work. The type known as an 8-inch hand bastard file is very handy for general work. A round file which tapers from about 5-16 inch near the handle down to about 14 inch at the point comes in very handy in enlarg- ing holes which are undersize. A set of wrenches of va is almost indispensable. There varjous types and s s available. A set of the type shown in Figure 1 is very han and contains a size for practically every size nut used in radio work. )Y These wrenches also come in a’set of three, these three being the 28 most used for 632 and 8-32 nuts, the most common in radio apparatus. A set of automobile wrenches, either of the forged or stamped-out type, may be used in place of the socket wrenches, and while they are not as handy to use they will answer the purpose in most cases. Cheap sets of this type can be ob- tained for less than a dollar. A small vise is very handy in hold- ing various p n drilling panels, for holding sc hen cutting them to size and tor other such jobs.

The Victorfa Radio Club of Canada has tiled a protest with the Dominion government against the sale of radlat- ing recelving sets in that territory They claim they are a public nuisanc and that their use should be prohib- ited by law. The radio section of the Department of Marine has issued in- structions to fans telling them how to prevent reradiation. Again Canada seems to be a step ahend of the radlo listeners in this country, many of whom would in- dorse such a protest if it were made, Perhaps we hesitate in the bellef it | would be against the “freedom of the air.” . Cannry l"ans Enjoy Radio. Radio fans of the Canary Islands listen in to EAR instead of by ear, | according_to recent advices from the | islands. It seems that the station at La Laguna, Teneriffe is assigned the call EAR. The station, now under- going_renovation, is now located on top of a local mountain so that its altitude would be increased. It trans- mits on 120 meters with a power of 50 watts. 1A G @A ENEFE7 EREHS » There Will Be Somethlng Doing Every Second in the World Series Games b £ AND HERE IT ALL!! “For the Man Who Believes His Own Ears” the one which formance.
