Owing to the shortage of channels, the commission has been loath to as- sign frequencies where wire service is feasible. Fayette B. Dow, counsel for the American Petroleum Institute, says Eight of the outstanding vaudeville artists of America will take part tonight | in the premiere radio presentation of the Keith-Orpheum Hour over WRC and associated stations. The program will be picked up from five different points—Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Chicago. TUNE IN TELEVISION CURTAILED. Tune in on Murray, motion picture star and her Marimba Orchestra; Nick Lucas, the crooning troubadour, and Henry San- trey and his International Orchestra. ‘There also will bo a brief address Ly Hiram S. Brown, president of the Radio Keith-Orpheum Corporation. The first act on the big radio vaude- ville bill will b2 Santrey’s Orchestra, from Boston, where they are appearing at Keith's Memorial Theater. The cur- tain on the second act will go up at the Palace Theater in New York, the goal of all vaudeville artists, where Will Fyffe will sing several Scotch songs and give some of his dialect sketches. From Broadway the network will be shifted to a microphone in Chicago, where Adela Verne will play several piano selections. From Chicago the network will shift 1o Philadelphia for a riotous comedy act featuring Glenn and Jenkins. The Hip- podrome Theater in New York City will be the next pick-up point, when Mae Murray and her marimba orchestra will g0 on the air. From the Hippodrome the network will jump West to Mil- waukee, where Nick Lucas, whose croon- ing voice has made him famous, will entertain. ‘The NBC studios, on New York's Fifth avenue, will be the next setting for the rapidly moving radio stage. Here Mr. Brown will make a_brief address to the radio audience, following which Belle Baker will sing several of her inimitable “blue” songs. The program will close at its initial point in Boston and San- trey's. Orchestra will play the exit march. In addition to the vaudeville presen- tation, WRC has scheduled several other outstanding features. ‘These include the Voters’ Service, which will bring Senator Edse of New Jersey wefore the microphone for a discussion of his bill to provide a survey of the interoceanic canal route through Nicaragua, and the Evercady Hour, which will present a dramatized version of Longfellow's ro- mantic poem “Evangeline.” Rosaline Green, will play the title role in this production, assisted by Frederick For- rester, Ed Thompson, Richard Abbott, Jack McBryde and Marcella Shields.

Classical music of all’ nations will form the Voice of Columbia program, while the Canadians will feature Lee Sims, pianist, who will give specialty interpretations of three current jazz hits, “The Song I Love,” "Anfltmng ‘Your Heart Desires,” and “In 2 Mist.” The other Columbia attractions on WMAL's schedules include another episode of “School Daze,” and Sweet- hearts, a vocal and instrumental pro- gram.

FIGHT OVER STATE BIRD TO GO TO LEGISLATURE Bluebird Proponents Act to Block Choice of Quail in California Radio Contest. SAN FRANCISCO (#).—A conten- tion over the selection of a wild bird to be regarded as “California’s Own” tum be carried into the State Legisla- re. The contest, conducted by KGO, de- veloped to State-wide proportions with thousands of votes being cast. The race narrowed down to a choice be- tween the quail and the bluebird, with various organizations supporting each, and the former having & commanding lead. Then, in the nature of an ulti- matum, Mrs. Bertha M. Rice, director of the Western Out of Doors Club, an- nounced that if the quail should be chosen her organization, supporting the bluebird, would ask that killing of quail be prohibited, holding that it was inappropriate to permit the shooting of the official State bird. - The Legislature also will be asked to make official the result of the radio poll.

Best Flour FREEZE WITH HEAT.....The ELECTROLUX Refrigerator NOISELESS when you buy it and forever after The Electrolux has no moving parts to wear or make sound. A tiny gas flame takes the place of all machinery HE noiselessness of Electrolux is not the man-made quietness of smoothly . running machinery. It is not the result of sound muffled. Rather, it is like the natural silence of a deep Well, where no sound exists. Baths of oil, insulated compartments, oilless bearings, live rubber mountings— these are efficient deadeners of sound. But the Electrolux uses none of them, for it needs none. It has no sound to start with, and acquires none with age. A month, a year or ten years is all the same to the silence of Electrolux. There is no machin- ery, not a single moving part, and hence no vibration or friction; not a thing to work loose or get out of adjustment. The wonder is how such sim- plicity can work and keep on working, with apparently so little to make it go. Yet this very simplicity is one of the surest guarantees of perfect, continuous service. It is one of the biggest reasons why you needn’t ever ex- pect to have trouble and bother. Many of Washington’s finest apartment build- ings and homes are equipped with Gas Re- frigerators, Washington Salesrooms 419 Tenth Street N.W. A tiny gas flame, water, a common frigeratingliquid—that’sall there is to Electrolux. As soon as you a trickle of ordinary re- Plenty of ice cubes are always arailable with the Electroluz, making delicious drinks an easy matter. ’ 2 v light the flame, the chilling action starts, and goes on without further attention from you. You’ll always have a con- stant, evenly low temperature in the food chamber. You’ll always have a generous sup- ply of big pure ice cubes. But you won't have a big bill for operating expense. In fact, the ridiculously low Costs less to operate The total cost of operating the Electrolux—including both gas and water—aver- ages only a few cents a day. Ask for facts concerning operating costs of Electro- lux Gas Refrigerators in- stalled in Washington homes and apartment buildings. month-to-month cost is one of the most pleasing features of this remarkable refrigerator. One reason for this saving is that gas and water are relatively SRR cheap. Another is that Electro- lux uses such a small quantity of each. The flame is only a trifle larger than a pilot light. The water is just a trickle. The little flame burns con- tinuously. Should it ever go out for any reason, no harm is done. The freezing action stops, but the gas automatically shuts off until you light it again. Step into salesrooms and see for yourself the interesting array of sizes and models, in white and beautiful color har- monies. Prices depend upon size, and range from $250 to 8370, installed complete. Pur- chase terms are liberal.
