SERVICE By Capt. Robt. Scofield Wood 0. F.C, M. ., Croix de) Guerre with four paims; formorly Commander 167th Squadron, Royal Air Forces. A SURVEY OF THE NEW SCHEDULE AND WHAT IT WILL MEAN. According to the new timetable which 1s to regulate broadcasting inthis area, there are fifteen hours divided among ten stations, At least five of the hours of the fifteen are out of the operating time of the normal radio enthusiast. Radio programmes are something like fee cream in that they do not really appeal to one much before 11 o'clock in the morning and grow rather fire- @ome and “fiat” after 10.30 in the eve- ning, The extended time of operation means very little to any one and con- atitutes a great loss of energy. Aside from the amusement that the kiddies get from the receiving sets after school, the real usefulness of radfo docs not commence until the family gathers around the instrument in the early part of the evening after dinner. The really effective hours upon which the popu- larity of radio has been built are those between 6 and 10 o'clock in the evening. This is aside from the indispensable service which has been rendered to agricultural folks in the nature of weather reports, market quotations and educational features, which have done much to stabilize the popular evening indoor sport. ‘The havoc that is to be played by the elements is something that the commit~ tee arranging the time failed to give any consideration. It is a well known fact that during the summer months the effective range of any broadcasting fs reduced by nearly 75 per cent, This means that a station which has a range such as WJZ, with a regular operating radius that reaches far beyond the Mississipp! River, will be fortunate in keeping the radioites this side of the Delaware River satisfied with their ef- forts. As it is, the high-powered sta- tions do not give people on Long Island any too steady or clear a service be- cause of the conditions which prevail at all times over Manhattan Island, lying rectly in the path of the electromag- netic wave carrying the news and music. If the high-power station can- not get though this barrier, how will the little fellows fare who are using about one-seventh to one-tenth as much power With very few exceptions the stations which have forced the issue as we find it in the proposed programme are not capable of being heard over a distance of fifty miles under the most favorable conditions regularly. What they will do when the hot weather sets in can only be looked forward to with apprehension. For Loong Islanders, under existing conditions, it means « period of two and a half hours from 7.30 to 9 P. M., during which nothing will be heard ‘by them four days a week. Long Island, which is one of the most highly radioized sections of the country, will suffer if this proposed regulation goes into effect. Monday night as the schedule goes Is to be divided by no less than seven sta- tions between the ‘hours of seven and nine o'clock. With the exception of one station not one of the seven is equipped to do itself or any part of the radio audience justice. The heart of Tuesday evening has been given to WWZ, which has one of the poorest sets tn the dis- trot for the momentous task of satis- tying the demands made by the ethereal audience. Wednesday night is a repeti- tion of the muddle that Monday pre sents. During all three of these fans in ythe Bronx and Long Island will suffer from the silent treatment, to say nothing of the people who live outside of the fifty-mile radius, who will also be entertained with silent. Thursday evening {s to go, lock stock and barrel, from 7 P. M. to midnight, to WBAY. ‘This station is one of the very few properly equipped to a that will justify its existence But just what its function will be re- mains to be seen, It is, as we under- tion set up primarily for a toll service. Inasmuch as direct ad- vertising is prohibited over the air and considering thet the people who are to be heard over this station are to pay for the privilege of broadcasting their matter, whatever it may be, this station should not be considered in the same light as the others. It has no piace in the schedule with the stations giving service and should be operated on a ppecial wave length. At the present time, however, WBAY seems to be un- decided as to just what it is going to do in the nature of broadcasting. Friday night is @ repetition of Monday and Wetnesday. Saturday night is going to be the only night in the week when WJZ will be heard to the exclusion of all others. Nothing need be s: : cathartics— \ one of the chief causes The quotation is taker from an important paper on treatment of constipation by @ well-known physician “THE EVENING WORLDS ‘RADIO-PHONE- COLUMN. famous station, which has made a mil- lion friends in (he United States, Canada and the Southern Hemisphere with ifs regular performances. nday night will be shared by WJZ, WAAT, WHN and WRW. The normal operation of a radio broadcasting station without counting the fixed costs of operating personnel and talent, 1s somewhere in the netgh- borhood of $500 a day. With possibly only three exceptions there is not one of the ten stations that can “stand the gaff" of putting on a first class evening's entertainment for more than a month at the outside, The anxiety of the authorities to give all broadcasters the same chance—go- ing on the assumption that all men are created free and equal—is all very fine in theory, but in practice not so good. The airways, which is the way the ether is sometimes referred to, and which is being treated officially as a highway for equal use of all, does not promise to work out to the same public advantage as the roads. Speaking of the comparison of roads and airways, there occurs to us another comparison. The difference between the stations qual- ifled to carry out the duty of regular radio service and those who have forced themselves upon the public, fs more marke n the wide lines between a d de juxe model touring car to be settied cannot be properly handled by time allocations, but rather by wave-length assignments. If it Is possible to grant a speclal wave length to a certain political faction's use, there should surely be no trouble in getting wave lengths for really worth while purposes. RADIO CLUB NOTICE.

Dp» it ever occur to you that the ca- thartic you take to relieve constipa- tion, is the cause of your trouble? Yet when a numbcr of doctors were discussing this almost universal complaint one of them said: “Probably one of the most frequent causes of constipation is the indiscriminate use of cathartics.” For years physicians have the instead. tried to persuade peo- ple to give up laxatives and to eat corrective foods It is now known that Fleischmann’s Yeast is a food which makes the use of cathartics unneces- sary. Because of its freshness it helps the intestines eliminate waste matter, People who are adding Fleischmann's Y east to their daily diet find that their body func- tions are kept normal and regular, Eat 2 or 3 cakes of Fleischmann’s Yeast before or be- tween meals every day.
