"B—10 = 500,000 Watts Would Make Chicago Station Equal to World’s Top. LTHOUGH only a fortnight has elapsed since it was first dis- closed that the Federal Com- munications Commission has 4n mind a gradual reallocation of broadcasting facilities, including the Yicensing of possibly 25 radio Gollaths with powers of 500,000 watts, there have already been many manifesta- tions of activity along that general line The first development was the an- nouncement by WGN, Chicago. that it will file an application for authority 1o increase its power from 50,000 to 500.000 watts—equal to the world's most powertul station. Then the F. C. C. made known that in the future 1o changes in the assignments of any | stations will be granted unless they sgree to install antennas or radiating gystems which comply with new re-| quirements governing efficiency. This was regarded as the first step toward & reallocation project. Soon to File Request. WGN, operated by the Chicago | Tribune, announced it will file shortly with the Federal Communications Commission an application for the tenfold step-up in power. It would | be the second station to be so au-| thorized, if its application is granted. | WLW, Cincinnati, has been broad- | casting with 500,000 watts for about | a year and the great success it has| sttained had considerable to do with | the decision of F. C. C. engineers to plan the increase on other clear chan- nels. It is expected that the WGN pro- nouncement will be followed shortly with similar applications by certain other clear-channel stations. Whereas the regulations now specify 40 clear channels to use a maximum power of 50000 watts at night, the tentative plan is to reduce the number of clear waves to 25 with minimum power on them of 500,000 watts. There is noth- | ing definite about this now, however, for the matter has not yet been con- sidered by the commission itself, but is still in the hands of its engineering department. “Horizontal Increase.” The tentative plan also includes & “horizontal increase” in power on per- haps a half dozen of the so-called | regional channels, on which two or | more stations operate simultaneously | at night. Whereas the night maxi- | mum power is limited to 1,000 watts, the plan is to boost them horizontally to 5.000 watts. On the 15 or so clear channels which would not be allowed | to use the half-million watts power the proposed plan is to allow simul- | taneous operation at night with per- | haps a maximum power of 50,000 watts. Also included in the project is the proposed opening of three channels in the band from 1,500 to 1,600 kilo- cycles for new local stations, with possibly 50 such stations'to a channel. | That would mean that many of the | epplications for new stations of 100 | watts from small cities might be | granted without serious controversy. * * % [J)CK ROGERS and Larry Hart, who trained as bachelors of art at Columbia University to become united ®as one of the most successful song- writing teams in Tin Pan Alley, will give the radio audience Tuesday night some of the top numbers of their newest show—Billy Rose’s “Jumbo” circus spectacle to be broadcast serially by the fire chief sponsor. | The musical fare will be varied— | choruses, duets and solos, one of the so0lo numbers to be sung by Jimmy Durante, the comic center of the production. x % CHILDREN in schools for the blind throughout the United States are now able to procure in Braille all student note books used in conjunc- tion with the N.

October is the gum's own month, for tfen the tree is a glorious riot of color. Prom a long distance you can see the glowing golds, crimsons, yel- lows and greens etched against the Autumn sky. The sweet gum is so called because of the fragrant, resinous sap. Prove this for yourself by crushing a tender twig or leaf, or cut through the bark and watch the slowly seeping gum flow into the wound.

IANT sweet gums may be seen lands of famous plantations, keeping faith with those who today in the rich bottom planted them many years ago. It is ! not unusual to see a tree 150 feet high, with a trunk 15 feet or more in dia- meter. The trees in the North do not reach this size, but they are just as beautiful as their Southern cousins. Study the sweet gum any time of the year and you will find something new and interesting about it. In the Win- ter the handsome seed balls dangle on From a distance they remind you of the buttonball chil- dren belonging to the sycamore. Look closely at the seed ball and you | will find the paired “cow’s horns” over | 2of the gaping pods. The seeds are as fine as gunpowder, and when all is set for them to travel the pods open wide The seed children are shaken out and go miles away with a marching breeze that drops them in all sorts of places. Here the tiny seed makes the most of whatever soil it has about it, and later a lovely sweet-gum tree beautifies the place in which it found itself dropped as a tiny seed. One way for you to identify this tree is by the narrow, bladelike ridges on | ers include Mrs. MacDougal McDonald, | the bark on the upper side @ the hori- the Colonial | zontal twigs, and the way the ridges girdle the vertical ones.
