Today there are ex- wctly 690 stations licensed to go on the alr, using whatever power wave length of broadcast time they pleas From the time Department of Com- merce control of broadcasting broke down, which was about July 1, up to today there have been exactly 177 new stations licensed and 111 have changed wave length. There is no definite fig- ure on power changes, but it i8 known that these numbered around 150. Most of the changes were to the higher channe d the higher powers. The greatest number of additional stations have been reported from what 1s known as the Chicago radio district. Up to January 1 there were 47 new stations which took the air in that district, 53 of which changed their power and 28 of which changed their wave lengths, while 46 stations were under construction in that district. The Detroit district had 25 new sta- tions, 21 power changes, 7 wave-length changes and 13 stations under con- struction; Seattle, 23 new stations, 13 power changes, 10 wave-length changes &nd 21 stations under construction; New York, 22 new stations, 12 power changes, 12 wave-length changes and 4 stations under construction; New Orleans, 13 new stations, 6 power changes, 8 wave-length changes and 16 stations under construction; Boston, 13 new stations, 4 power changes, 14 wave-length changes and 14 stations under construction; Baltimore, 7 new stations, 6 power changes, 2 wave length changes and 3 stations under construction, and San Francisco, 6 new stations, 10 power changes, 17 wave-length changes and 12 stations under construction. These cities are centers of the country’s nine broad., cast areas defined by the Department of Commerce for supervision purposes. ‘While this census is interesting, in view of pending legislation, gstimates just reported from Canada by Lynn ‘W. Meekins, Department of Commerce trade commissioner at Ottawn, are im- portant because American broadcast- ing is proving to be of real concern to Canadians. Mr. Meekins reports that Canada has 48 broadcasting stations and some 300,000 listening sets. The latter figure compares with an approx- fmation of 5,000,000 in the United States. of ‘The appearance the Smith Brothers, “Trade and Mark,” on the program of WRC again tonight re- calls several requests made for the publication of their introductory song, Which apparently has caugh} the fancy of the radio fans. The words to that unique plece, rushed here from New York by special delivery, follow: T haye a brother. Mark Smith. for whom Ho has ‘much errible whiskers they'rs always in the way. CHORUS. They're always in the way: the cows eat hem for hay. They hide the studs on the front of our ehirte They" ) in the way. When *Trade Smith swam the Channel, ing it for him: ned "his whiskers around his Walst and boldly waiked Tight in. When e 0 to bed at Bk, s many wna"h'%‘"-{“-l’aeut with the whiskers r"the ‘sheets. Or whether we sicep with them out. Again returning to WRC's program features tonight, we find that New York will provide, in addition to the Smith Brothers, the weekly concerts of the Davis Saxophone Octet and the Ipana Troubadours and ta tabloid version of “Manola,” which will be sung by the WEAF Light Opera Co. The chief attraction of local origin will be a concert by the United States Army Band. The band will play 45 minutes instead of the usual abbrevi- ated S)-minute program. There also will be recitals by Emilie Henning, contralto, and KElizabeth Gardner Coombs, pianist, and a talk by Doris M. Cochran of the National Museum on “African Reptiles.” Sporadic barrages of code and in- creased manifestations of fading last night tended to counteract the good reception conditions so prevalent for the last few days. Yet fair results were obtainable from all sections, with the possible exception of the Midwest, where the stations seemed to be more affected L fading than usual. Sig- nals were sharp and came through with good volume. WLW and WKRC, two of Cincin- natl’'s high-powered stations, were heard with good volume, but the lat- ter's gnals faded badly at times. WLW was not affected by this phenomena, however. This station was broadcasting a concert by the Italian Melody Trio, one of the fea- tures of the night Not far away, at Columbus, WIAU was broadcast- ing an interesting musical program. Some of the late dance programs picked up came from WQJ, Chicago: WME New York, and WMAK, at N. Y.

Guitar Selection Chosen for Third Week of Contest “Precious,” played on a gui- tar, with vocal refrain, was broadcast by a station about 10:40 o'clock last night, during what is described as its “Song Shop Variety Hour.” The se- lection followed several vocal numbers by Joe Watson and Ralph Brown. Can you identify the station? Tt is the third se- lected for identification for the third week of The Star’s radio contest. The fourth station will be picked up tonight between :30 and 10 o’clock. Answers_do_not have to be sent in daily, but may be kept until the close of a contest week and the st ns ted on a single shect of paper.

Which one is right? What should I do to protect my teeth from decay ans my gums from infection?” We asked the 50,000 dentists of the country to settle the question. This was their almost unanimous reply: (1) Acids are the most frequent cause of tooth decay and infected gums. (2) The most serious trouble occurs at the pl where teeth and gums meet—known as The Danger Line. (3) The best product known to neu- tralize acids in the mouth is Milk of Magnesia. These answers point out the safe. and sure way to protect your teeth and gums. Squibb’s Dental Cream con- tains more than 50 % of Squibb’s HOURS: 8:45 to 5:30 Dulin & Martin Co. 1215-17 F ST.

Turner, 26 Evarts street northeast. Each identified four of the seven stations listed for identifl cation during the second contest week which ended Sunday night. By a strange coincidence they selected the same four stations. The increase in the popularity of the contest was shown by the fact that 814 radio fans in Washington and nearby Maryland and Virginia par ticipated, an increase of 302 over the preceding week. Of the total number of contestants, 183 were able tc identify only one station each, while four of them succeeded in naming three stations each and three of them two stations each The contestants three stations were Md.; Mrs. ‘WJIZ, New Rossville, N.
