Office 4n Washington ar6 considered one of the most im portant . developments in tone re production during the present year. This new type of horn speaker has been developed en tirely by the. Pooley Company, which, for thV past twenty-odd years has been building and ex perimenting with reproducing in struments. Since the new and improved type of phonograph has been ' placed on the market, those who have made a special study of the subject agree that the larger the horn both in length and area at the -mouth the better the tone range, provided, of course, the taper of the horn is properly matched with the reproducing unit and the size. The new Pooley double horn peaker has been scientifically de signed to amplffy sound waves evenly, accurately, completely. Its leagtb is important. It Is ap proximately five feet long. Its construction Is such that the tones from' the reproducing unit are car ; ried through a cast Iron tone con ductor or goose neck cast !ron because that la the best available metal having no' resonant tone of its own lo aaenclosed compart ment "or-tone separator, which Is one. of the exclusive features of 1fei speaker. 7 Thevtone separator Is not'made "F solid block of wood, because vucbr.a. block of My !'''

In it, Mr. Kent ha3 reduced the complicated mechan ism of the house current set to the utmost compactness and simplici ty and has added a feature which has proved so popular in the auto mobile field during the past two seasons color combinations which give richness, beauty and quality, making the set unusually attractive in an artistic sense. The new set is gracefully pro portioned and Is smaller than any complete A. C. set thus far of fered. It is only 17 Inches .lcmg and inches high, yet It houses everything except the speaker.

Caldwell WASHINGTON, ; (AP) During 1928 the spotlight of public inter est In radio will turn ' upon the long reaches of the radio spec trum below the broadcasting band. For Invention and commercial de velopment these channels form a vast terra incognita. In which pio neers are now exploring and stak ing their claim$. In the short; wave region we may expect during the year a rush of applications for channels which in its commercial, industrial and economic reverberations will make the recent episode in the broad casting! band seem mild by com parison.! Aside from all other communication j demands, It is clear thjat future aviation progress will depend whblly on these short waves for communication to air planes in flighty In the broadcasting band through! various methods of syn chronizing the carrier frequently of stations we may succeed in multi plying by several times the carry ing capacity of existing channels for regional stations.

This is the vision of the future forecast by Walter Damrosch, for mer conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, in review ing for The Associated Press the musical accomplishments of 1927. Mr. Damrosch, who is music counsel for the . National Board casting company, predicted that at the end of these three years, the United States will also show an Increase in its own creative musical artists. "The last years have seen a fur ther technical imnrovement in 1 ? e.M T with the New York Symphony over the radio have proved so suc cessful, stated that the United States has come to lead the world In the matter of symphony orches tras, with five of its ruteen or ganizations considered the finest In the world. When he took over the leader ship of the New York orchestra 42 years ago, at the death of his father, who established the organ ization, there were but three sym phony orchestras in the country. "Opportunities for young stu dents to learn their art have In creased markedly" he continued. "The young American of real tal ent has just as fine opportunities of training here as he would have in the older countries. "There is much money In this country, and at last people are awakening to a realization that it is well spent if used on a musical instrument.

Jan. 21.- (AP) Horace G. Nicholson, for fourty four years a merchant of this city, died at his home here early today. DETROIT. Mich. A young couple appeared before Phil Birk i enhauer. marriage license clerk. "We want this knot tied doubly tight." said the man. BirkenhaiKr thought for a while. With com panionate marriage and such be ing in vogue now he couldn't Just make out what the man wanted. He consulted Judges Homer Ram ey and William A. Cuff of mun icipal court. After some deliber ation both judges agreed to speak in unison while reading the mar riage ceremony, thus tying the knot doubly tight. That's what the couple wanted. American, composers," said Dam rosch. "Their scores are now technically more perfect and the theory of music has been well learned. All they must do now is to get the great American thought and put it into their music, as the Germans, the Italians, the French, and the Austrians have done. ! This country has been behind in music appreciation and accom-i plishment," he continued, "mere ly because of its youth and us size. During the last Tew years there has been marked improve ment in the big cities, but the rural communities have remained still remote and cut off from any musical opportunities. The radio is overcoming this difficulty, and through its power ful agency fine music is being brought Into every home, no nat ter how Isolated.

The color feature makes the new model doubly distinctive. It is in two combinations deep, rich brown and antique gold or golden bronze and antique gold both in satin finish. "The price of the new A.

These processes, while achieving great economies, also attain a high degree of engin eering precision. From the be ginning, it has been our policy to perfect a set before asking the public to approve it. And when we say 'Perfected' we mean a re ceiver which will give complete and lasting satisfaction; from f It handles, which all troubles, crudities and j?lutne of a non-essentials have been refined; which gives pure, natural tone; which is mechanically and scien tifically right, and which can be produced economically.
