Moreover, the radio division of the Department of Com- merce is harnessed with altogether too much routine to burden itself with new dutiés. From the point of view of Department of Commerce authori- ties, their most logical attitude would be to recommend extending the life of the Federai Radio Commission. Radio has always presented a vex ing problem to President Coolidge. He is himself no ardent fan, but Mrs. Coolidge is a regular and enthusiastic listener-in. President Coolidge's origi- nal appointments to the commission were highly praised for their non-po litical hue and for the fact that the body was spiendidly balanced at the outset with men representing all branches of the art. Two deaths and one resignation robbed the commi sion of its balance of technical repr sentation and new appointments had | to be made. One is still pending—that of the successor to the late Admiral Bullard, chairman of the commission. Secretar densome. A last-minute change in program | arrangement will bring a concert the Moscow Art Orchestra to WRC listeners tonight in lieu of the regu- larly scheduled *Half Hour With Great Composers” period. This o chestra has broadcast on Sundays heretofore. | Aside from this concert WRC has listed among its outstanding musical attractions the weekly program of the United States Army Band Orchestra, which will be broadcast from ti Army War College. There also wi be the regular concerts of the Hoover Sentinels and the Clicquot Club Eskimos. The Eskimos will feature several novelty selectiens, one of which is a quintet arrangement for saxophones. The Honeymooners, whi will be heard in connection with the Sentinels, will | sing as their principal offering Eddie Dowlms 's song hit, “In a Little White | House.” LONG RANGE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1927.

RECITAL OVER WRHF PICKED UP IN QUEBEC Lower-Power Signals of Radio Hospital Fund Station Travel Great Distances. Despite the 150-watt limitation placed on the power of WRHF, the Wash- ington Radio Hospital Fund com- mittee's station, its signals are travel- ing great distances even under ad verse atmospheric conditions, judging from correspondence from radio listen- ers in various sections of the country A great volume of the station's “fan mail” comes from points in Illi- nois, Pennsylvania and New England. Recently, however, a piano recital broadcast by Francis G. Cole was picked up in Quebec, Canada. The station's most popular feature, in the opinion of out-of-town listeners, is its Sunday night sacred song serv- ice, which Miss Betty Brewster, the studio director, introduced as a dis- tinct movelty in radio entertainment. Scores of letters have come from listeners, principally in Massachusetts, requesting that certain numbers be played during future programs of this character. Another popular feature seems to be the woman’s period, which Miss Brewster personally conducts every morning beginning at 10 o’clock. The cooking recipes which the petite studio director has given over the air have served to furnish the dinner menus in hundreds of homes in the District and elsewhere. There also has been a great demand for the cookbooks she mails to her listeners. The far-reaching tendencies of ‘WRHF's signals, according to its en- gineers, are due chiefly to the sta- tion’s scientifically constructed an- tenna, which is stretched 75 feet above the Annapolis Hotel. With this an- tenna an increase in power is not re- garded as essential in order to cover the territory the station intends pri- marily to serve—that is, the District, Maryland and Virginia. TROLLEY STRIKE AVERTED |, Chicago Traction Union Meeting Next Wednesday. CHICAGO, December 8 UP).—Chi-| cago’s threatening street car and ele. | vated workers' strike has been pushed back at least until after next Wednes- day, when street car men, disgruntled over failure of a wage arbitration board to get down to business, will hold a mass meeting to determine | their course of action. The interim will be employed, union leaders said, in an effort to reach with the surface lines an agreement which would avert a strike. The car men's effort to bring a showdown in their wage argument is due, they explained, to the continued failure of two arbiters, one each rep- resenting the men and the company. to pick a third member of their board. | RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.
