LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (#).—When radio was wireless, a little girl played a harmonica before crude appartus. It was_ heard 11 mile 'lw-y over as crude receiving equipment. ‘That 'v:% Zplmyem ago. Today the little girl is Mrs. J. H. White of Little Rock, considered to be the “first woman broadcaster.” The crude equipment was designed by her father, Nathan Stubblefield, at Murray, Ky., a pioneer { radio investigator. Mrs. White was stationed in a field a mile away from her father's farmhouse laboratory. As she played the har- monica silence like that for pin drop- ping prevailed at the receiving end. Faint, but clearly, the music was re- ceived. This experiment, one of & number conducted by Stubblefield in 1902, has led his home town of Murray to feel that he should be credited with the “invention of radio.” It plans to erect a monument in his honor March 28, the second anniversary of his death. Stubblefield was considerably elated over his early experiments, and friends assisted him in obtaining a patent. Later he conducted demonstrations in Pennsylvania and New York, and a stock company was formed to manu- facture his device. ‘Things did not seem to develop as the inventor had hoped, and he went back home tc spend the rest of his life in seclusion. Two years ago he was found dead by a friend who had visited his humble living quarters. Mrs. White still shows a keen interest in radio, but she does not seem greatly concerned over the fact that she played an important part in some of the first attempts at entertainment broadcasting.

Blue: | 'HY do “Amos 'n’ Andy” appeal to children? Thousands of young- sters in all sections of the country are following the broadcasts of this popular radio team. This has been established by the fan mail. But why? Even Amos and Andy them- selves cannot answer the ques- tion. . Frankly they admitted this during an interview on their re- cent whirlwind visit to Washing- ton to entertain the White House Correspondents’ Association. “I am told,” said Charles Cor- rell, who before the microphone is the big-talking, Andy, “that near- ly as many children listen to our ?rngrnms as adults. I think our an mail will bear that out. I am told, too, that ‘I'se regusted’ and ‘sho’ are used many times a day in the homes where there are children. “ I am lost for an explanation, however. Nearly every bit of our | dialogue is ‘over the heads’ of the youngsters. I mean, of course, the tiny tots between 4 and 8 years old. What interest would "they have in a love affair between Amos and Ruby Taylor or Andy and Madam Queen? Or the op- erations of the Fresh Air Taxicab Co. of America, Incorpulated? Or the intricate problems involved in the preparation of an income tax return? Dialect May Be Cause. “There must be some other rea- son, but I haven't been able to find out. Our dialect might fas- cinate them, but it seems to me that children would soon tire of !that, hearing it as they do night after night.” Because of the widespread in- terest of the children, Correll said, every precaution is taken to keep thelr dialogue free of the risque or impurities of any character. “You have never heard any- thing questionable in our broad- casts?” he asked. “Neither have you heard either Amos or I, the Kingfish or any of the other char- acters refer to smoking or drink- ing. And you never will as long as there is one child listening.” Aside from being puzzled over the reason for their large child following, “Amos ’'n’ Andy” also jrevealed that, regardless of the station from which they broad- cast, the opening announcement of Bill Hay and the signature mu- sic always come from Chicago. Most of their broadcasting also is done before the National Broad- casting Co.’s microphone in Chi- cago, but the trips they take away from home, such as their recent | visit to Washington, make it nec- essary for them to appear before the closest N. B. C. microphone. In Washington, of course, the| WRC microphone served as the outlet for their broadcast. * % x X RADIO advertisers have often heard the admonition, “They’'ll | | much.” they won't. But whether they do| forth the mental effort necessary | or service. make such an effort is about the | same as may be expected to read a similar discourse set in 8-point | type on a full magazine page. At least, this is the opinion of Stan- ley W. Barnett, manager of WBAL, | in Baltimore, who for a number of years has made a study of the| psychological side of the spon- | sored program. Listener in Lazy Mood. “The average listener approach- | es his radio entertainment in a lazy frame of mind,’ says Mr. | Barnett. “He doesn’t object to the advertising in the least, pro- | vided it is interesting and comes | to him easily and without mental exertion. “Try to think of another form of diversion that can be enjoyed with such an utter lack of exer- tion.

Charles Benter, is proving one of the closest links between the serv- ice and the people, not only in this country but abroad, thanks to the interposition of radio. Four or five hundred letters a month from all parts of the Nation form part of the fan mail received on behalf of the Navy Band, the bul- letin of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, reveals. In a message to ships and sta- tions over the world, the bureau gives this insight into the work of the Navy Band: “The Navy strongest tangible links between the service and hundreds of thou- sands of people throughout this country. From the very nature of things, the public has little in- timate contact with our forces afloat. Except in those families having members in the service, there is all too little in common between the Navy and the people of the Nation it serves. Navy day has been successful in giving a few of the people glimpses of our first line of defense, but music from the Navy Band is heard day after day in thousands of homes where realization of the influence of sea power upon daily life can- not but be very remote. This mu- sic carries with it something of the spirit, the ideals and aims of the service. Navy Band Is Radio Pioneer. “The band was one of the pio- neers to be heard regularly on radio broadcasts. It has been bn the air since the days of crystal detectors and head phones. Dur- ing the past year it has been heard more frequently on broad- cast programs than any other military band in the country. At the present time it broadcasts four programs each week over the chains of the National and Co- lumbia Broadcasting Companies. Some of these networks include over 40 stations, so that the ter- ritory covered is tremendous. “The fan mail, which amounts to 400 or 500 letters or more Band is one of the| A been received from Germany and Joh: urg, South Africa. In- quiries are received on a wide va- riety of subjects relating to the service. “The band is known in large city and Rockies. It has appeared in nearly 300 cities during the past five ears on Fall concert tours. A arge part of the present radio following is made up of people who have attended the concerts on these tours. The band library includes several large volumes of clippings commeitting on concerts played over the radio and while on tour. During the present month a series of educational broadcasts on Wednesday mornings, intend- ed for school children, has been inaugurated. All in all, the band is doing much to maintain a bond of interest between the service and the people.” * k% x MEXICAN fortune teller once told Edward Thorgersen, for- mer WRC announcer, who is now “big timing” on an N. B. C. net- work, that water would once play an important part in his life. And it did. Perhaps the only time that 10 bells were ever struck on the high seas, Thorgersen did it. He was on watch on a United Fruit ship off the coast of Florida when the disastrous hurricane of 1927 struck the boat. Remembering the heroic tradi- tions of the sea, he clung to his post and sounded the bell. Sailors who never learned to count past the necessary eight bells disagree about the number of strokes they heard that night. Finally the captain yelled something about lookouts who didn’t know enough to come in out of a storm. Thorgersen fought his way to the nearest cabin, and no hands were lost. But he still insists that most of the ocean was standing on end about to fulfill the fortune tellers promise. Thorgersen is not afraid of water, however. He is exactly the 6-foot outdoor adventurer sug- gested by his deep voice, and the story of his wanderings reads like the sagas of his Norse forbears.
