Covering an extended expanse of ter- ritory in continuing the series of grand visitations of 1928 to the constituent lodges of this jurisdiction, the grand Through an enlarged network of 37 stations, scattered from New York to San hn\cuoc the Seiberling Singers witl m tonight in ot E;olnm 9:30— Ma: 10:30—Wayside present progra; honor of th:u' new audience on the Pacific Coast.

The quartet also will sing Rachmaninoff’s “Prelude in C Sharp Minor,” which no other group ever at- tempted to sing, while the singing vio- lins will play Victor Herbert's “Kiss Me “Dance of the Hours,” “La and Deppen's “Comin’ Home” will be the orchestra’s contri- bution. ‘WRC'’s special attraction mnuht will be the broadcast of a program arranged by the Catholic Daughters of America in commemoration of its silver jubilee. Miss Mary Duffy, supreme regent of the national association, will be the prin- cipal speaker. The musical portion of the programs will feature vocal and in- strumental artists. Percy Grainger's “Country Gardens” and a special arrangement of Chopin's “Minute Waltz” are to be featured in the Halsey-Stuart program. The latter will be played as a xylophone solo. The Hoover Sentinels and the Song Shop are two of WRC's other regular attractions to be broadcast tonight. In addition there will be the usual period | of slumber music and a dinner concert | by the Mayflower Orchestra. WMAL'S outstanding attraction is the Army Band concert at the War College, which will be broadcast from 7:30 to 8:30 o'clock. There also will be the weekly merchants’ hour of music and a specizlty by Phil Hayden, novelty enter- tainer and one of Washington's leading radio artists. The late dance program &llé be provlded by David McWilliams’ WRHP ‘also has an added attraction this evening in the form of a concert by the L’Aiglon Salon Orchastra. Warner Kennedy, who is heard at this station regularly every Monday, is the director of this orchestra.

Lanham said he had been drinking, | and, police said, admitted shooting Hef- ferman. Lanham and Mrs. Baltzer fled afoot, but were arrested 25 miles north of here. Lanham told police the shoot- ing occurred after he and Mrs. Baltzer had left Louisville for a taxi ride. Lan- ham said he had served a term at Ala- bama State prison for assault and bat- tery with intent to kill. He said Mrs. Baltzer was the wife of a guard at the Alabama State prison. ' NEW CALL LETTERS FOR WRHF AND WTFF Former Will Be WOL and Latter WISV Under Change in Wave Channels. Simultaneously with the change in wave channels Sunday, two Washing- ton stations will be identified by new call letters. WRHF, the American Broadcasting Co. station, will use the call WOL, and | WTFF will change to WJSV. The lat- ter has been transferred from the Fel- lowship Forum to the Independent Publishing Co. ‘WJSV will transmit on a wave chan- nel of 205.4 meters (1,460 kllocycles)‘ while WOL has been assigned to the I?Ml-meter (1,270 kilocycles) band. WOL may be given another frequency, | however, hefore the end of the week. WJSV will continue broadcasting four nights a week, pending the re- m’)d?llng and extension of its broad- ‘(‘asdng plant at Mount Vernon Hills, Va,, when it will operate every night. { The new owners are reported to be spending thousands of dollars in im- proving the plant.

TABLE MODELS s low £775 as Less Tubes This is a view widely held in the radio industry, where Mr. Hoover's engineer- ing understanding and previous admin- istration of radio are well known and| highly regarded. ’ The view grows out of observation | of the vicissitudes through which radio | control has passed during these last fow years, and from which neither Con- gress nor the Federal Radio Commis- sion has yet rescued this vital new in- strumentality in the life of the average | American. Government regulation is the key- stone of the radio art, but it is generally conceded that it has been an inept effort so far. * Political fate has willed that the man who, as Secretary of Commerce, was deprived of radio control by a legal quirk and then shorn of temporary au- thority over radio by a distrustful Con- | gress, should now have more power over | this means of communication than he ever could have had otherwise. Mr. Hoover as President will recom mend radio legislation to the Seven! first Congress, for it is not to be pected that the radio problem will be seriously attacked in the "lame-duck” secsion that opens next month and lasts only until March 4. Even if legisla- tion is enacted in the short session it is almost a certainty that the influence of Mr. Hoover will be felt. Short Session Matters, Before Mr. Hoover assumes office, however, there are two major radio mat- ters which will probably come up in the short session. One is the question of renewing the administrative life of the Federal Radio | Commission, which under the present law becomes a quas! judicial body hear- ing appeals over the Secretary of Com. merce, to whom radio control is sched uled to be returned after next March 4 The other is the apopintment of a new commission, the terms of all the present ‘commissioners expiring next February 23. President Coolidge, who has never | evinced more than a perfunctory interest in radio, is expected to consult | with his successor on these subjects in- | asmuch as the bigger radio problems | will undoubtedly be a_heritage to the | next administration. It is a safe as- sumption that Mr. Coolidge’s recom- mendations to Congress will accord with | Mr. Hoover's ideas, and that he wiil | accept or reject congressional enact- | ments in harmony with a Hoover policy It is more than likely also that th- make-up of the next commission will be Hoover selections, The first big legislative problem in radio will be whether to make the Fed- gressmen will be readily understood by Mr. Hoover, the engineer who knows | radio from close band. Not only did his Department of Commerce have au- thority over radio under the old com- munications law, later declared obso- lete by the Attorney General, but he personally called and presided over a series of conferences of the young n- dustry to “doctor its growing pains.” Mr. Hoover headed the American delegation to the international radio- telograph conference in_ Washington last year. There the allocation and uses of the precious channels in th: universal radio spectrum were deter- mined among the nations of the world, the resulting treaty going into effect next January 1. Knowing radio’s national and inter- national woes, Mr. Hoover may be ex- pected to effect cures where palliatives alone have been applied He must yet say whether he-favors control by a commission or by an ad- ministrative officer, a veritable “radio | czar,” in a department whose head wili be directly responsible to the President. He must recommend the powers that shall be vested in the control body or officer, and He must choose the men or man who shall rule the ether waves.

WITH “STANDARD” MOTOR OIL The motor of a well-known six sedan, after being driven 26,760 miles with “Standard” Motor Oil as the only lubri* cant, was dismantled and cylinders care- fully measured for wear with precision instruments. The average wear of each of the six cylinders was a fraction under 9 ten-thousandths of an inch. When other oils are used the cylinder wear of the average well-cared-for car is over 30 ten-thousandths of an inch in 20,000 miles. Several times as greatas in TANDARD” OTOR OIL “Standard” Greases, Transmission Oil and Gear Compound are made with the same care as “Standard” motor fuels and motor oils. the sedan in which “Standard” Motor Oil was used. The practical advantage to you of the greater oiliness of “Standard” Motor Oil is easilyapparent. Less wear meansa bet- ter, smoother running motor, fewer re- pair bills and greater satisfaction with your car. Yet “Standard” Motor Oil costs only a quarter a quart. Howmuch do you spend for gasoline? How much for tires>? When did your battery last have water? The “Standard” Motor Record will tell you.
