FATHER TINE NOT FRIEND OF RADID o Lo Dillerences in Hour New York, Feb. 19.—The mys- teries and wonders of radio grow even greater with the progress of this acience. . The latest concern the broadcast- ing of programs from London over the United States. Some of us might have become too blase, from the daily experience of listening to ex- tensive network programs, to ocon- sider the significafice of the recent London broad But a little thought over the matter and & re- view of the steps taken to make this relay possible might wake us 30 to the proper realization of its meaning. Years ago, before chain broad- casting came into being the one item that was popularly believed to prevent the consummation of this idea was time. The three hours dif- ference between the Atlantic and the Pacific coast occasioned some thought among radio enthusiasts. A dinner program originating in New York would strike the coast at 8 in the afternoon. More serious than this, the actual time for broadcasting a program so that it would greet the ears of most radio fans the same evening was narrowed down to not more than two hours— those between 9 and 11 eastern time, or 6 to 8 Pacific time. Be- fore 9, eastern time, broadcasting is neffectual in the west, and after 11 it is not so good in the east. Room for Few Sponsors This limited time could not ac- ecommodate all radlo advertisers seeking to broaden their fan audi- ence to include the entire country. 8o some of them have had to be satistied with duplication of their eastern “hours” on the coast. The Eveready Hour appearing on the NBC network over the east and middle west at 9 o'clock eastern time on Tuesdays, for instance, strikes the coast on the same relay at 6:30 Pacific time, But the Voice of Firestone, broadcast in the east on Tuesdays at 8 eastern time, not 80 good an hour for coast fans, has to be repeated there at 9 Pacific time. Before the Pacific network was linked permanently with the two eastern chains of the NBC system. the Eveready Hout and others as well had to repeat their programs similarly. In fact, they had to build quite different programs because of the difference in tdlent available. This difference i time now ap- pears to be one of the major d#fi- culties in the relay of London pro- grams to the Unifed States or of New York progrgms to England. Here the differgnce is five hours from one side of/the Atlantic to the other, and eight hours it we consid- er the Pacific cbast. Thus the Lon- don program with which the NBC surprised the American fans the cther day originated in England at 9:45 In the ening, Greewich or London time., This meant that it was received here at 4:45 In the afternoon, an hour when most of us were thinking of leaving for home rather than listening in. The Pacific coast was out of this picture altogether, for "One thing my daughter must be told” =Says @ motber of today abous an old bygienic problem the program would have reachel there at 1:45, when even housewives are too busy with their marketing or their bridge to listen in. If a similar stunt were tried fron this side of the ocean, the same situation would be reversed. Either the American audience would have to be limited in order to reach the major part of the British audience, or vice versa. Time simply can't be beat. Humorous possibilities of such in- ternational broadcasting -arise from this difference in time. Imagine a Londoner listeaing to some one in 8an Francisco eight hours before he actually goes on the air! And im agine, if you please, a Tokio pro- gram being received in America the day before it is actually broadcast! That's due to the difference set up by the international date line run- ning down the Pacific. Really, however, all occurs at ti.e designations confuse us. ‘With television in practice we'd even see things befope they happen ed, due to our time differences. It is an involved situation out of which rises the difficulty of scheduling programs for Englind and America which would at the same time reach the majority of listeners in both countries. This is hardly pos- sible, except perhaps on Sundays and holidays when we're at home. E Not So Bad Although engineers have been working for some time over the technical details of relaying a pro- gram overseas, none of their prob lems equals that of the time diffi- culty involved in this stunt—Ilook- ing at the matter from the popular point of view. Fadirg, static, an- tenna difficulties, power, wavelength and other such questions still trou- bling the engineers will all be rsolved eventually. But the differ- ence in time will remain, and that is what will interest the radio spon- sor anq his audience. The one will rack his brains, if international broadcasting -ever be- comes. commercialized as are the network systems in this country, to find a way of reaching the greatest audience here and abroad within the more limited time he has at his dispesal. The other may have to change his working and sleeping hours, if he would care to enjoy the programs from Europe as well as those in this country. Colorful events like the pageants and ceremonies held on Lord May- or's Day or the opening or Parlia- ment, are good subjects for broad- day and, if relay to America, would necessitate our staying home from work in order to listen to their description. Some of us might be in a position to do that without fear of losing our jobs, but most of us couldn't. 8o the time difficuity remains a serious drawback to intercontinental broadcasting. To Discuss Social Work Among Feeble-Minded At the next meeting of the New Britain Council of Catholic Women, in addition to the subject of the mo- clal legislation before the general assembly the subject of soeial work with the feeble-minded will be dis- cussed by Miss Mabel Matthews of {the Mansfleld Training school and hospital.

Mothers ‘who have learned the greatadvantages of Kotex naturallyadvise their dsugh- ters of its superiorities over old-fash- ioned makeshift methods of sanitary protection. The result meansa carefree composure, never before possible. New perfections in Kotex One of the most important of recent improvements in this scientifically designed sanitary pad is & patented® process which deodorizes safely and thoroughly! No other napkin offers this advantage. Because corners of the pad are rounded and tapered, it may be worn without evidence under the most clinging gown. There is none of that conspicuous bulkiness so often asso- ciated with old-fashioned methods. And you can sdjust the filler to suit your own special needs. It is easily disposed of, no laun- dering is necessary. A new process makes it softer than ever before. And, finally, Cellucotton sbsorbent wadding takes up 16 times its own weight in moisture, which is 3 times more than cotton itself. Buy a box of Kotex today.
