THE EVEfiING STAR, WASHINGTON, i’) O. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1929. FIDELMAN TO PLAY | FROM WRC TONIGHT Program Ranging From Com- edy to Opera Planned by N. B. C. Chain. Suscha Fidelman, the appropriately named vioiinist, will play several solos during the Cities Service hour on WRC and other affiliated stations, be- ginning at 7 o'clock tonight. Leo O'Rourke, tenor, will also be heard. The a male guartet, will have a group of songs, and the orchestra, under preseni Al Bernard and Billy Beard, the Ray- bestos Twins, describe what it is like n a duet during their at 5:30 over WRC C. stations. The comedy team will be assisted by an orchestra in the following* program: “A Little Coat of Tan,” “Wake Up, Chillun, Wake Up,” “Miss You,” “What a Day,” and “Am 1 a Passing Fancy.” Gus and Louie on Air. Gus' and Louie, the Shradertown garage partners, who have recently em- barked upon a correspondence course in detective craft, in an attempt to regain the Widow Biddle's stolen diamond and their own $300 in cash, go finger-print- ing among the members of the Shrader- town Band at 8:30, over WRC. ‘Whether the Jones family should go to London by channel boat and be sea- sick or venture for the first time of their lives into an airplane is the sub- ject of discussion in the episode of “The Family Goes Abroad,” which is to be broadcast over a coast-to-coast network of the N. B. C. system, including WRC, at 9:30 o'clock. Light Opera Tunes. Norman Brokenshire will- serve as master of ceremonies during the Hawaiian Shadows on WMAL and other C. B. S. stations at 7 o'clock. A num- per of well known airs from popular operas will be heard during the bread- cast of light opera gems on the same station at 9 o'clock. Among them are Lehar’s “Merry Widow,” Friml's “Love Is Like a Firefly” and the same com- poser's “Iris” and Victor Herbert's “Gypsy Love Song.” Those who like Russian music will have an opportunity to listen to some taken from quict life on the steppes during the broadcast “In a Russian Vil- lage” on the same station at 9:30 o'clock. Among the songs is & special arrangement of the now famous “Song of the Volga Boatmen.” “JOY-RIDERS” PROVE BIG RADIO PROBLEM Take Advantage of Tryout Sales Method and Sponge on Dealers. A brand-new radio problem has bob- bed up, but it is bothering only the retail receiving set dealer. ‘“Demon- stration joy: * are the offenders. A demonstration joy-rider is one who, month after month, tries out the dif- ferent makes of receiving sets and gets his radio service, perhaps during an entire season, without buying any equip- ment. To boost their merchandising of sets, practically all radio dealers have adopt- ed the demonstration “Try it yourself in your own home” method. It is a good' sales wrinkle and works succesS- fully in a large number of cases. But along with it has developed the siz- able army of y-riders” who drive their way through'a radio season with only the electric bill to pay. With 50 or 60 different makes of sets on the! market, and with three or four more models of each maker, it can readily be seen how one may “sponge” on the radio dealer for an indefinite period. ‘Something must be done about this situation, but the dealers for the coun- try, as a whole, have not decided just how. In one city, however, according to a report to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, a serious effort is being made to cut down the number of “joy-riders.” Chambers of Commerce in ‘other eities which have cautioned their dealers to beware of the demon- strationjoy-riders are watching the ex- periment with interest. In this city, which for professional reasons is unnamed, the arrangement is between the local chamber of commerce and the radio dealers. Each dealer turns in to the chamber a demonstra- tion report showing the names and ad- dresses of all persons to whom demon- strations have been made, how long each prospect kept the particular ma- chine, and why it was not purchased. The radio industry, which has been riding on the crest of a wave of public demand, and works out its campaigns on the basis of the experiences of the automobile industry, has adopted an- other automobile sales idea. It is the “two car scheme. Automobile dealers edopted this sales idea after the used car market became saturated. It is to encourage prospects to keep the old car for everyday ‘running about and use the new one for Sundays and special occasions, rather than trade in the old one. Radio dealers are using the “two radio set” idea with the same objective— to prevent the cluttering up of the radio with used and obsolete sets. The in- dustry suggests that, instead of trading in the old sets and getting little or nothing for it, the prospect install it in another part of the house or apartment and place the handsome new receiving set in the living room for “show” as well as service. In this age of practical comfort an- { other practical idea has been developed ! by the radio industry. It is that of re- mote control switches for your radio that 1s, if your set is located in the liv- { ing room, have switches for it in the * bedroom or the kitchen or' anywhere in the household. Operated on the same rinciple as the remote control electric ight, which you can turn off or on from upstairs, the radio switch can be wired + from your set to any place you desire.

Uruguay is planning a large coloniza- tion and development scheme which will include the expropriation of large tracts of land and the expenditure of nearly $2,000,000. A bill for the expropriation of pasture lands lying within a mile and a quarter from the boundaries of all cities, towns, or railroad stations, has been submitted to the National Council. Such lands will be divided into farms, granges, country seats, orchards, or plots, If the bill is passed the Mort- | gage Bank is expected to use a recent appropriation of nearly $2,000,000 to es- tablish agriculture colonies. selling licenses and frequencies because it might lead to the creation of vested | rights in a particular channel.
