Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. LONDON. — London’s ‘“snake woman” is getting quite a reputation for her ability to care for ‘creepy things. She is Miss Joan Procter, curator of reptiles at the London zoo, and the designer of the new £275,000 urepme house, just opened to the pub- e The influence of Miss Procter is seen in many features of the new section. The visitor walks from a typical London drizzle into synthetic sunlight on rocks electrically heated to 110 degrees. The purpose of the heated spots is to lure the reptiles into portions of the inclosure where they may best be seen by visitors. The stone work forming the rows of snake dens is shaped 8o as to serve as “snake furniture.” There are little cubby holes in which the pythons cofl themselves, and roughened upright tree stumps to enable them to climb nearer the artificial sun. In the dens for desert snakes cacti have been especially imported from America. The dens are kept at an equable tempera- ture of 80 degrees. Zoo attendants say the reptiles have shown pleasure in their new surround- ings. VACATION FOR 36 CENTS. Derlin Children Enjoy Week's Out- | ing at Small Expense.

Along with the issuance of five short-term licensas authorizing planes preparing for transoceanic flights to broad 1l channel, the sion announces nting of seven construction per- nd licenses to new stations in the Southern radio zone. Four of the aircraft radio licenses permit the use of the following call letters by these entrants in the Dole flight to Honolulu: KRK, Norman A Goddard: KWS, George Hearst; KOE, B. H. Griffin, and KGGA, Pabco’ Pa cific flyer. The latter will also broad- cast on a short wave of 23.1 meters. The fifth license was for the plane Old Glory, which will use WRHP as its call on both 600 and 800 meters on the flight from New York to Rome to be attempted by Lloyd Bortaud. The permits and licenses were is- sued to program stations constructed prior to the passage of the radio act fast February. All the stations are in the district of Commissioner Skyes, who explained that they have been held up pending ¢ on older sta- tions, that the commission feels these stations will render a real public serv- ice in States which heretofore have had very limited broadeasting facilities with their low power they will not create material new interfer- ence. 1t has been the stated policy of the commission not to 1 v. broad- caster fons were made in se instances since the stations had already heen projected.

Phone Franklin 8848 - kodkdokd A KAAARIKK KK LONDON, August 13 (#).—A world | The Bureau of Standards’ aeronau- tical and radio research section has inaugurated experiments to improve radio equipment on the national air- ways, and is studylng new types of transmitters for ground stations and planes. A new 1,000-watt radiophone trans- mitter has been installed at Bellefonte, Pa., and the directive radio beacon at Coliege Park, Md., has heen increased in power to 1,000 watts by the installa- tion of amplifying tubes. Radio equi ment Is also being installed on_air- mail Douglas planes, the Slgnal Corps type SCR-124, t sets being used. Weather service via radio telegraph is being given on the airways, but In the near future it is planned to trans- mit transcontinental reports via radio- phone—t soon as radio- phone ins re completed. Ra- dio service is now in operation on the San Francisco-Chicago and the Chi- cago-New York routes. Loud Pitch Problem. A problem that must be solved and which must be considered of the ut- most importance to the welfare of radio, is that of the thoughtless owner who persists in operating his recefver at a loud pitch either exceptionally early in the morning or late at night. The problem reaches peak proportions during the Summer months, when every one's windows are thrown open Then the radio pest becomes more than a nuisance. The shriek of the loud speaker need not awaken the echoes of the apartment house or suburban community, because the modern radio outfit is so constructed that its tones swell into the room with perfect audibility, at the same time being inaudible to neighbors, If the pest would take a little care in tuning his receiver, it would not only cause less animosity between neighbors, but would lengthen the life of batteries and tubes and eliminate much interference in the Pageant to Be Broadeast. Norman Brokenshire, chief an- nouncer of WPG, will again visualize listeners the colorful Atlantic ant this Fall, when the lities from every State in the Union compete for the honor of America’s most heautiful queen. He will describe the miles of tiny chil- iren with floats bearing representatives of natlons, the celebrated bathing re- vue, the American Beauty ball and the arrival of the beautiful girls repre- senting leading American cities.

Beauty Talks Scheduled. Edyth Diedrich, famous beauty cul- turist, will glve a serles of talks over WGN, Chicago, every Thursday morn ing during the station’s home manage- ment period, between 11:30 and 11:37 o'clock. She declares that there will be no fat women in the future. “In | my constant contact with women T | find that more and more they are || seeking ways and means that wiil keen | them healihy and normal, yet help | them retain the beauty and vigor of | vouth. Iixcess fat is not a help in any of these things.

Further, the tendency toward burned-out coils was in- creased and results were altogether unsatisfactory. This diffculty was later remedied by inserting an induc- tion coil or transformer between t line and the receiver, thus isolating the receiver from the battery and at the same time faithfully transmitting the pulsating speaking currents. open Late in September—New Location to Be Chosen. has roved nch disappearing gu Monroe weighs 334 pour 7 tudents in traini An Opportumty You | Should Take Advantage of Your eyes scientifically examined for glasses Free of Charge!
