U.S. RADIO EXPORTS REACH BIG FIGURES January Sales Total Half Mil- lion Dollars—Receiving Set Accessories Principal Items. Accessories for receiving sets at present are the principal items in the radio exports from the United States, according to tabulated sta- tistics on the half-million-dollar ship- ments of January. Complete receiving sets form the second largest item and components of receiving sets rank third, followed by vacuum tubes and transmitting sets and parts. The half-imillion-dol- lar pales were divided approximately as_follows: Recelving set accessories, $171,000; complete receivers, $139,000; compo- nents of recelvers, $125,000; tubes, $46,000, and transmiitters, $16,000. Canada, the biggest buyer of all the foreign countries, set the pace in the purchases of accessories, complete receivers and components .of receiv- ers, with Argentina buying the great- est number of tubes and Chile taking the bulk of the orders for trans. mitters, Canada's total purchases amounted to approximately $208,000, distributed as follows: Complete sets, $74,000; accessories, $67,000; components. $57,000; tubes, $9,000; transmitters, $657. Argentina's orders for tubes amounted to $11, 41390 and Chile's tramsmitting equip- ment total was $10,600. Next to Canada, Australia and Great Britain were the heaviest buy- ers in the United States radio market. Total exports to the British empire were $294,000, almost three-fifths of the entire shipments for the' month. roximately 000. Japan was buyer, with $35,000, and Argentina fifth with $28,000. Australia’s demand was largely for accessories and component parts for receivers, there being only a slight de- mand for complete sets, tubes and transmitting apparatus. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, spent more on complete sets than com- ponents and only slightly less on complete sets than on accessories. Mexico furnished the second largest market for complete sets.

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATEERA Noted Authority on Radio Reproduction Prohibited All Rights Reserved. Pity the Broadeast Station Directors. 8o much criticism has been hurled at the directors, announcers and per- formers at broadcasting stations that I teel called upon to bring some light to bear on the difMculties with which the station staffs must cope and the really efficient manner in which they handle such situations generally. ‘The station directors’ lot is often a hard one. Programs must be ar- ranged weeks ahead of time. Speeches must be checked up and stamped with the officlal O. K. before they can be delivered, because the listener must be protected from dry-as-dust talks. The high-class stations cut out all semblance of objectionable adver- tising and publicity. Duties of Directors. Numbers for the day’'s programs must be arranged and ‘fitted together with all the care exercised by the director of a first-class theater. The program director, however, is limited in his choice of material to such numbers as are pecullarly adapted for rendition over the microphone route, In selecting musical numbers he must be governed by the result of previous experfence regarding the in- struments or combination of instru- ments that carry well and must elim!- nate those Instruments and numbers v;::lch are not suited for such rendl- tion. Excuses Common With Managers. In the majority of cases the talent which appears at the stations is free. As such, it is not subject to the rigid relations which exist in appearance at theater. Nothing short of a serious accident of sickness will cause an actor to miss an engagement at a pald performance, bt indisposition, temperament and other stock excuses for non-appearance are common with program directors. In such cases the director must have some one on hand to fill in the gap. Many stations have an orchestra and several singers on hand for just such occurrences. A gap in a radic program creates an effect much worse than that caused by a break in the film at a movie theater, Few persons will walk out of a theater because of & break in a film, but a broadcast- ing station can very easily lose its audience by a break of a few min- utes in its programs. Alert Announcers Best. It is in such circumstances that the wide-awake announcer fills in the gaps with newsy flashes and enter: taining remarks. The announcer has a lot to do with the success of a station in holding its audience. He must be clever, but not too_clever. He must have a pleasing personal- ity and a voice which expresses his personality. He must have a clear, Come With Us ON THE AIR “Viking Romance in Song dnd Story’’ EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT WCAP —Washington Watch Radlo Programs —This Paper The Vikings chanieal wind olostiion) sppe Song Composer to Entertain Faward Warner of Baiti poser of the song hit. “I've won in Rawdust,” will entertain “shut-ins” of the Dis triet through station WIRHE, Satu Henry distinct volce' thut carries well over the radio.
