About the same timeé the native announcer, who spoke both French and Engligh, fell ill, and so Capt.

However, this difficulty is gradually being overcome, Capt.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS A survey of the radio situation to- day as compared with a year ago shows a galn of 177 brondcasters. The prement total is 715 active stations, in- of the one of the 'eluding 22 portable transmitters. Dis- regarding these transient stations, the State of New York leads in regard o fixed stations with ¢1. while Illinois stands second with 60. When portable sets are taken into consideration, Il nois is first by about 8 etation: ‘The list of States shows that Cali fornia is third, having 32 stations; Pennsylvania_fourth, with 44, and Ohlo rates 35. 'The next 12 States follow in order: Texas, 82; Washington and Michigan, 27 each; Iow: Mis- souri and New Jersey, 24 each: Wis- consin, 20; Massachusetts, 1 brask: 7; Indiana, Minnesota Florida, 16 each. Oklahoma ranks twenty-second, hav- ‘ng 10 active stations, snd the District of Columbia is thirty-eighth, with 3 broadcasters. Mississippl, Delaware, South Carolina, est Virginia and Wyoming have 1 each, Nevada re- mains the only State without a single station, as it stood last year. The largest increase by States show that .n the past 12 months New York zained 18 stations; Washington, 1 Illinols, 10; Ohlo, 11, and New Jersey 9. An analysis of power used by Sta- Lions shows that 500 watts is the most popular, being the rating of 160 sta- tions. There are also 162 rated at 100 watts, but*most staticns are gradually ncreasing their power. There are now one 50-kilowatt station, four of 20 kilowatts each and seven rated at 10 kilowatts.

He will he general mgent for both pas- senger and frelght buriness. Mr. Poston, it is sald, was selected because of his wide acquaintance here and _previous experience in the work locally, He first came to Washington in 1888, He was employed by the Southern Pacific as general agent for \Washington in 1893 and continued in that capacity until 1919, when, fol- lowing the inauguration of Govern- ment _control, the office was aban- doned and Mr. Poston was transferred to New York Ordered to Pay Alimony. eil, chief clerk fn at Washington Bar rucks, who declared in his answer to the suit of Mrs. E MacNell for a limited divorce t able-bodied and able Vesuvius the finance offi At his wife was to support her- wus ordered by Justice Balley uity Court to pay alimony of month until the wife's suit d on its merits.

Seattie has taken the place of San Francisco; it has 21 local or near- by stations, all in the Btate, while San Francisco reports only 20 within & 60- mile circle. The congestion ls, of. course, in- creased in the big citles bysthe use of 80 many channels out of the 89 avail- able_ether routes. In the New York center, for example, 48 separate wave lengths are in use locally, This means there is a station on practically every avallable frequency between 526 and 202 meters, preventing reception from ou]t-lde stations on any of these chan- nels. In Chicago the wave band utilized is from 5556 to 206 meters, including 33 separate chanpels. Stations in or near Boston use 22 wave lengths be- tween 546 and 228 metgrs, and in Los Angeles 23 waves are used in this wa; The Philadelphia stations, operating between 508 and 215 meters, transmit on 20 channels; Seattle uses 19, and San Francisco 17. Educators to Discuss Radio. The use of radio in schools, as a means of giving new scope and in- terest to educational instruction, will be discussed by educators attending the annual convention of the depart- ment of superintendence of the Na- tional, Education Assoclation, &t Dallas, Tex., February 28. Prof. Willls A. Sutton, superin- tendent. of schools at Atlanta, , will tell how Atlanta has utilized radio to stimulate new interest in school work, not only among the pupils, but among teachers and parents as well. Other phases of radio use by schools will be presented by Prof. Nicholas Bauer, superintendent of schools in New Orleans, and Sam Pickard, di- rector of radio for the Department of Agriculture, will submit a paper on the educational value of radio. Prof. Sutton clalms for Atlanta the distinction of being the first sizable city to mdopt radio as a definite part of its school equipment. A schedule of radio classes broadcast through WSB gives each g‘ndo. both in the elementary and high schools, one radio period weekly. A special radio hour, for puplls and parents alike, also is provided each evening. - WHAM Changes Hands. Acquisition of WHAM, at Roches- ter, N.
