CAMDEN, N. J., December 21.— Tohn McCormack and Lucrezia Bori, who sang a year ago in the first radio program, featuring outstanding con- cert and operating stars, will inau- gurate the second season of radio corf- certs by the Victor Talking Machine Co., January 1. Instead of the American Telephone and Telegraph line, the Victor concerts will be broadcast through the Radio Corporation of America’s chain, which includes WRC, in Washington; WJZ'S new superpower station at Bound Hrook, N. J.; KDKA, Pitts- burgh: KYW, Chicago: WBZ, Spring- fleld, and WGY, Schenectady. McCormack and Bort will be heard with the Victor Concert Orchestra, un der the direction of Josef Pasternack. While details of the program have not been announced, it is stated that the concert is to be not less than one hour in length. Both McCormack and Borl will be heard in a number of solo selections and they will have one duet number, while the Victor Con- cert Orchestra will render several or- chestral cnsembles. As was the case with the first Vie- tor radio program, the coming con- cert will mark the beginning of a series of Winter broadcastings by a Zroup of the most distinguished operatic and concert stars. The con cert will be broadc: direct from the Victor recording studios in New York and thence to WJZ and the other in the Radio Corporation FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA, Noted Authority on Radio. All Rights Reserved. How to Build the De Luxe Model Three-Tube Qualitone Recelver. Part I. There will always be a certain num- ber of fans who will not be satisfied with any receiver that does not cut through powerful local stations. They are interested primarily in the dis- tance of the station to which they are listening and not to the program that they are recelving. To them radio means nothing more than a trip from one end of the country to another. For such fans only an exceptionally selective and sensitive receiver, such | as the five-tube controllodyne recetver, which I described in a previous arti- cle, will do. A folder describing its construction can be obtained by ad- dressing me at 4345 Drexel boulevard, Chicago, Ill.. accompanied by a re- quest for the five-tube controllodyne | recetver.

I've discovered “Miss Radio.” She lives in Washington, she works for Uncle Sam, and her name is Ivy Jane Wymore. She is fair-haired and bobbed-haired, and her job is that of static tester for the United States Government. The sphere of her oper- ations is the transmisslon research laboratory of the Bureau of Stand- ards in Washington, under the direc- tion of Dr. L. W. Austin. Every d Miss Wymore is engaged In record- ing the direction, intensity and other characteristics of atmospheri> unrest. The Bureau of Standards has con- structed a_special loop or coil an- tenna in the form of a parallelo- gram, some 3% by 4% feet in dimen- sfons. “Miss Radio” is the engineer of this jigger. She puts in about 19 hours a day getting onto the curves and pranks of statle. One day her researches probably will put the ai audience’s chief enemy out of busi- ness Probably William M. Jardine, our horny-handed Secretary of Agricul- ture, is the first boss of that depart- ment ever to devote a part of his annual report to radio He has just announced in that publication that| the number of radio sets on American farms has arisen from fewer than 150,000 fn 1923 to more than 550,000 in 1925. The average number of sets on farms per county has jumped in the same period from about 50 to more than 200. Mr. Jardine say: ““This Increase of 300 per cent is evi- dence that the farmer appreciates the broadeasting service provided for hir armers generally, Secretary Jardine narrates, have bought A-1 set A questionnaire answered hy 2,500 farmers in 1923 indicated tha the average price of their outfits was $175. Dealers in various parts of the country say that sets worth from $125 to $400 sell much more readily Reproduction Prohibited. parts, together with the detailed step. by-step description of the wiring, makes the construction of the set a very simple matter, well within the capabilities of fans who have had no previous experience with mechanical construction. With the fullrized paneldrilling templates shown in miniature, the lay ing out and drilling of the panels used in the construction of the re celver resolves itsel ple operation.

The call of station 6HX was widely known along the coast and messages from the son of the cabinet membe were eagerly picked up by voung Hoover's feilow “hams.” With his graduation from Leland Stanford Spring and his subsequent marriage Hoover, jr., apparently has gone off the air permanently, despite his lons continued interest in radio. Even be! fore he went to college he was an in terested worker with wireless trans- mission of signals. In the Summer of 1923, while living with his parents in Washington, he had two stations licensed in his name, the second be- |ing at Washington, under the call let te 3ZH.
