A second radio conc triv vt by the torsky Russian g Quartet. which made its debut the air from the Homer L. Kitt studios recently, will be broadcast by station WRC tomorrow afternoon, beginning at 5 o'clock. The program for the concert will be com posed almost entirely of Russian folk and zypsy songs, of which Basil Tou- torsky. violinist, and conductor of the orchestra, has made extensive collec- tons. Arrangements for many of these old melodies have been made by Mr. Toutorsky Toutorsky, who recently arrived in the United States, received his early musical education in Russia under the Italian master, Stegli, of the Milan Conservatory. He is a’ member of one of Russia’s oldest titled families and is a graduate of the Imperial Lycee. During the World War. he was an of- firer of the Imperial Russian Navy serving as flag lieutenant on the staff of the commander-in-chief of the Black Sea fleet and later was iated with he procurator general of the army and navy.

Though there continues to be dis- cussfon of a revision of the retirement laws relating to members of the mili- tary and naval personnel, this subject has come up more regularly and per- sistently during the past year. A num- Ler of members from the legislative branch of the Government have been collecting statistics on the composi tion of the retired lists, including the cause of transfer from the active list and the age of officers upon retire ment. Both War and Navy Depart- ments have received recent inquirles relative to those officers who were re- tired for other than age. which {ndi- cates that there is, perhaps, an inten- tion to draft legislation that shall abol- ish_retirement for age. This means, of course, that officers would be retained in active service cal disability.” Should such a provisich be enacted into law, it is pointed out, dt would not only create a block in pro- Tohn J.

As both military and naval authorities view this proposition with disfavor. it is not expected that any action on this provision, at least during the present Congress. will be taken Considerable interest was attached this week to the list of Armv officers designated for general staff duty. Of this 1926 list consisting of 19 officer: thelr assignment to general staff duty warks the reiurn of 11 of them to this duty after twoyear separation from a similar assignment.

Air Service, Corps of Engineers and Signal Corps), after the commissioning of the 1326 class at the United States Military wdemy. It is estimated that ap- proximately 130 vacancies will be available.

C. There will be issued by the War De. | partment in the near future, a general order, prescribing, according to branches, the reallottment of non-com missioned officers of the Army in ac. cordance with the reduced strength of that group of the military personnel made necessary by the lack of appro- priations. After the schedule is re- vised by the general staff. it will be submitted to the various War Depart- | ment branches affected, and from the present outlook it is expected that the order will become effective about April 21, 1926. No demotions will be involved in the revised schedule, it is said, the lack of sufficient funds heing met by grad- val readjustment. Estimates indicate | that the authorized strength in non- commissioned offifers, first-clags pri- vates, and specialists will have to be reduced by approximately 1,471 non- commissioned officers, 1,4% privates. first class, and 1,380 specialists. This decrease. in non-commissioned officers will be accompanied by an Increase in privates by approximately 2,967, No ron-commissioned officers, privates, first class, or specialists, it is stated. will be reduced in grade, and for a short perfod, discontinuation will be made by the department in making criginal appointments and promotions. This cessation period of appointments and promotions for most grades, it is understood, will not continue probably for a period exceeding four months. $165,000,000 Sought for Roads. . A bill carrying a total of $165,000,000 appropriations for Federal aid in the construction of rural post roads and forest trails in the next two years was introduced by Chairman Dowell of the House roads committee. It was of- fered as a substitute for a bill pre- viously introduced carrying a total of $176,000,000 for the purpose. ‘The measure, embodying commit- tee amendments, provides for annual expenditure of $75,000,000 for rural post roads and of $7.500,000 for forest roads and trails. | give | tones | tmmediate STAX, WASHINGTON, D.

Comparatively few ever, realize the amount of research and experimental work that is con stantly being carried on in broadea ing studios throughout the country for the main purpose of perfecting the art of broadeasting and thus aiding as much as possible. the reception of various features on Lome receiving sets Take the organ, for instance. This instrument, though a most enjovable one to the majority of music lovers, is thé most dificult to_reproduce faith fully over the air. The chief reason is that. unlike most instruments, the organ is really a battery of instru ments, and unless proper attention is to this combination of organ they will not do themselves jus. tice, and are apt to be mediocre and unsatisfactory when recorded on a purely mechanical device such as the microphone. When Baltimore's super-power sta- tion WBAL recently added to its pro gram a semi-weekly organ recital, its organist and those in divect charge of broadcasting this particular féature were confronted with these facts, and set about to correct them in order to provide as perfect repro- duction as was physically possible The logical and most practical means to remedy such defects, it was found, was to exclude from the ears of the organist the direct soupds of the or gan, and let him hear instead the prod uct of his efforts as recorded on the microphone and through the ampli- tie The most effective way to achieve | this, its seems, 1S to have the organ ist wear ear phones or an aviator's helmet while broadcasting. _And so Frederick D.
