I3 [ Bight more broadcasters joined the Sther lin last week, the Department of Commerce revealed today in its weekly radio report, but as only one is rated with a power of 500 watts, they are expected to add little to the existing disturbance. The new octet, how- ever, brings the total very close to the anticipated 700 m; to be ex- act, there are now 697 active stations making the nights in the ether more hideous. The new G00-watter is located at Inglewood, Calif., and will transmit on the 387-meter channel. The other seven and the wave lengths chosen follow: WMBL, Lakeland, Denver, San _Anto Wash., & Ohio, Seattle, and WJPW, Ashtabula, meters. Despite the steady increase in the number of stations, Congress remains at a_standstill on radio legisiation, members of the joint conference committee having failed to reach an agreement, predicted many times hy members in the last thre> wee Senator, Dill and Representatives White, nevertheless, are still work- ing on the composite radio bill. and action may come before 8, when Congress will adjourn. Rarely are reception conditions as good as they were last night. Stations north, south and west responded to careful tuning with clarity and vol- ume. Then, too, there was an almost total lack of static and the whistling interference from heterodyning seem- ed to be at a minimum. These favorable conditions gave the DX hunters a glorious opportunity to log seldom heard stations and to bring An some of the more distant ones. In the former class were heard WQAO at Cliffside, N. Y., and WNOX, Knoxville, Tenn., both of which were broadcast- 1n these parts, were heard clarity and strength. Among other stations recorded were WSUI.

Gypsies broadeast tonight will be “The Rosary” by Nevin. This com- position is one of the famous heart songs of the musical realm and has recently been sung by such distinguish- er artists as Ernestine Schumann- Heink and John McCormack. An- other unusual and interesting event to be found on the program of the Gupsies is a medley of old Hungarian gypsy songs and dances. In addition to the 10 instrumental selections by the orchestra, Harry Horlick and John Barnes Wells, tenor, will be heard in two_solos, “Hires Harvesters,” another WRC feature, will play some of the folk songs of the “Hill Billy” country of North Carolina and West Virginia. From New York WRC also will draw the weekly tabloid presentation of the WEAF Grand Opera Co., which has arranged to sing for the first time Von Weber's “Der Freischutz. Other attractions scheduled by WRC tonight include the weekly Emerson hour and a late dance program by the Swanee Svncopators. In an effort to improve its afternoon broadcasts. WRC has arranged to transmit the regular Monday after- noon concerts of the Navy Band at the Washington Navy Yard, the first of which went on the air this after- noon.

By the Associated Press. HARTFORD, Conn., January 24.— Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, in an address here last night, pledged himself to “humanize the American immigration laws.” At the same time he reminded his audience that he would continue, without fear or favor, to adhere to his present course as a champion of restrictive immigration. “We are going to humanize the immigration laws,” he said, “we are going to do away with the difficult cases and the so-called family suffer- ing. 1 believe, as a law of God and rule of man, that a man already in this country should be permitted to bring his wife and children here. They should be allowed to enter in prefer- ence to any others.” His defense of restrictive immigra- tion was based on the economic -prin- ciple that all laws affecting the rights of human beings are vital. should have a desire to affiliate, if he intends to remain in this country. “I have proposed no ‘espionage, no fingerprinting, no other identification other than the fact of enroliment with the naturalization service of the Gov- ernment.” Automobiles in Argentina are in- creasing about 50 per cent each year, ‘The majority of snow storms depos- it only from 2 to 5 inches of snow.

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 24.—Sym phonic music made avallable to ap- preciative hearers by means of the radio {8 enhancing the popularity of the orchestras. This is the experience of at least four conductors, who pro- nounce broadcasting of orchestral music a success. “The condert by radio as a type of entertalnment and education com- bined seemed to strike a real popular demand,” declared Walter Damrosch, who s retiring as conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra to | give more attention to radio music, Mengelberg Gratified. Willem Mengelberg, conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orches. tra, likewise is gratified at the r sponse from listeners. He considers the radio admirably adapted in this country to carrying good music across | great distances., “Speaking from a financial stand- point,” says N. De Rubertis, direc- tor of the Kansas City Little Sym- phony orchestra, “I think that after hearing radlo symphonic music the people are anxious to see the musi- clans and the conductor; consequent- ly I belleve it is a splendid thing.” De Rubertis sald he found it easier to get contracts outside of Kansas City as a result of broadcasting. Nikolai Sokoloff, conductor of tha Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, said | that if radio were to accomplish noth- ing more “its service to humanity so far as music education is concerned would be remembered forever.™ Other leaders were inclined to await further experience before forming a conclusion. “Too Much for Nothing.” “I think tLe broadcasting of sym- phonic music would be a wonderful educational Influence for the coun- try in general, but its advisability is a question which should be decided by the trustees and management of the orchestras,” sald Frederick Stock, conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. “Like everything that is new and NIKOLAI SOKOLOFF. attractive” Rudolph Ganz, conductor the St. Louls Symphony Orchestra, be- lieves that radio “is being overdone to the extent of ‘giving too much for nothing"." Concerts of the St. Louts orchestra which are broadcast “have suffered some,” he said, “but we feel that we have gained in national reputation through our being heard over the radio.” BUYER SEEKS STATION. Offers to Salvage War Plant if U. S. Has One. If the War Department has a com plete radio broadcasting station left over from its war activities it has a prospective customer at salvage rates for the outfit out in South Dakota. A request for information from the concern produced the answer, how- ever, that while almost everything else could be found in the war salvage, broadcasting stations did not appear on the surplus lists. The letter added, however, that the salvage dump could provide material from which a station could be con- structed, if that would meet the need. The dump contains nearly everything from sawmills to shoestrings. The Oil is an ideal fire. UR expert oil burner service, 1355 Wisconsin Ave. ARE in sel property as a first trust.

T W People often ask just what is meant by the statement that Pluto washes away constipation. “If the action of Pluto is caused by water”, they ask, “why does not common drinking water have the same effect?” ‘The reason is simple to those versed in the science of medicine. Ordinary water is absorbed before it can reach the intestines. Hence it has no oppor- tunity to wash the digestive tract. Its action is on the kidneys rather than the intestines. Unlike ordinary water, Pluto Water contains a quantity of minerals ex- ceeding the mineral content of the blood. For that reason, Pluto Water is not absorbed, but passes intact through the intestines. ‘That is why Pluto washes. It flushes all that's before it, cleansing the sys- PLUT WATER THE, PARKER PEX (O BUILDING, NEW YORK pedition “Take your Choice Rich Black and Gold, Black-tipped Lacquer-red, or een Jade lack-tipped Parker Duofold is made in all 3 effects ‘Those who like Green Jade will agree it's easy to decide which Jade to buy.
