CENTRAL STATES HAVE MOST RADIOS Blizzard Fails to Interfere With Signals From Sta- tions in West. Using as index figures the points of origin of “broadcast applause mail sent to 20 large stations, regional sales returns of two leading equip- ment manutacturers and a survey made by a radio magazine, H. E. Way of the Department of Commerce elec- trical division, finds that the north- ern cluster of States—Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin— lead in the number of radio recelving sets. o Mr. Way's average places 27 cent of the countr per States. It also arrives at 19 per cent ch for the Middle Atlantic States— w York, New Jersey and Pennsyl- vanla—and for the group made up of Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. The New England States and the West Central group, including Arkan- 'sas, Louislana, Oklahoma and Texas, are reported to have § per cent each; the Pacific States 6.5 per cent, the South Atlantic States 5 per cent and the Mountain and scattering States the remainder. individual States with 9.3 per cent, Illinois has 8.3, Ohio 7.5 and Penn- sylvania 6.8 per cent. These lead all others by far, the ratios being, in a general way, reflected by the density of population. In the absence of an actual census of the number of sets in use, Mr. W prepared the index analysis to indi- cate to the radio industry the location and size of markets for accessories and supplies. The location of present owners of apparatus he believes to be the best index available, without go- ing to the expense of a census. The blizzard that has enveloped the Northwest failed last night to show any pronounced effect on the recep. sets in those | tion of stations in that territory. New York leads the 'THE ' EVENING STAR, ‘'WASHINGTON, D: ©. 'WEDNESDAY, ‘DECEMBER 15, - 1928. ’n matter of fact, it seemed to clarify |and intensify the signals of the Chi- cago and other Illinofs -broadcasters | in the heart of the storm area. | WBBM's voice appeared to have a little more volume than usual, espe- clally during the Christmas shoe fund dance that went on the air at 11:30 o'clock. Baltimore’s high - powered W\ BAL also was burning the midnight ofl with a dance program, but for some unknown reason this station cannot get its signals into Washing- ton without some degree of fading. George Gershwin, whom we are told has done more to popularize the ex- otic jazz music than any other co- temporary composer, gave 15 reasons for liking his style of music during the Eveready hour, WRC's one bril- liant feature of last night's bill. It was a complete Gershwin program and the composer remained at the piano throughout the hour. Gershwin, opened his program with | his first song hit. “Swanee,” written back in 1920 before radio stations had an opportunity to kil its popularity. Then he contrasted this with two his most recent efforts, “Do, Do, Do, and “Some One to Watch Over Me," which are being sung in the current Broadway, attraction, “O.

With the discovery of a large crack in a Concrete wall of one of the buildings of Jessop Hospital, Sheflleld, Ireland, recently, it was learned that the institution wes over a burming coal mine that had been smoldering for several years. The mine is part of an abandoned one. Huge volumes of water have beén pumped into the seam, which is 8 feet under ground, but without effect. The hospital and patients are said not to be in danger.
