Studio program: rirnies oi Radio Nolcs ROWDINO of the ether In new " available to broadcasters has all but reached a point where chaos looms in Ibe offing, with less prom ise than ever before that n better order soon may be estnhlished. Ja cob M. Arvey, chairman Chicago Ra dio Commission. Radio is just about the most, iin portnnt industry of the age. Inter est in radio will increase during the next decade. Radio will soon be on the same plane as the automobile in dustry. James F. Kerr, general man ager, radio shows. "We will be able some time lo fore-j cast in n general way what radio re ception conditions will be each day. ! Dr. L. W. Austin, radio physical lab- ; oratory, U. S. Hureau of Standards. ! It seems probable that broa'dcasting is permanently esatblished as a public necessity nnd may be considered as indispensable in the average home as; the telephone. Commissioner D. R. i Carson, -Rureau of Navigation. By USE OF 110 Say "Cnele Remu' to a Eugene boy or girl iu a home where there is n radio, and he will probably shout back. "KHJ!" Likewise, mention KHJ to any lo cal fau and be will think at ouce of nele John, peerless announcer of the Los Angeles station, and in the next instant of l.'ncle Remus, for it is only when Uncle John and Uncle. Remus get together before the "mike" at KHJ (bat the fun really Btarts. At one time or another there have probably been huudreds of Uncle Re mus impersonators traveling about the country since the original Rr'er Rabbit stories came into being, but so far as California is concerned, and particularly so far bb California's lis tening public is concerned, thro is one. and only one Uncle Remus. Uncle John together with Uncle Remus spent a couple of weeka Inst summer iu the high Sierras on a fish ing trip. Upon their return Uncle John spent the last day of hiu vaca tion at Cataliua island, off the coast of southern California. Major Molt, known to radio experimenters every whree. undertook to take Uncle John tuna fishing and it happened that John hooked a whale of a tuna, and ufter battling with it for nine hours nnd twenty-five minutes (so the story goesl lost the fish. It was a terrible blow, and in true sportsman s spirit Uncle John confid ed to Uncle Remus of the loss of the magnificent tuna. It was too much for Uncle Remus to withstand and for days afterward Radioland roclied with laughter whenever Uncle Remus got Lucie John in front of the micro phone to tell bis story of the tuna. Uncle Remus comes by bis title houenily. For over twenty years he traveled with a minstrel show blackface comedian, later going into ttio musical business. To hear Uncle Remus play old plantation melodies on the celeste from KILT is enough to make a Eugene football fan vote bonds to erect a statue of O. A. C.'i football coach. IT KILLS STATIC BUT IT'S TOO BIG Scotch Clarlphono Perform! Elimination by Some Kind of Acouttic Method, Say Thoso Who Have Seen It etL L1 ft rrJ J---"1 sfi Fa3 P'N ,1f,', v Orgnuitation of a Eugene Radio club is being planned. This information, broadcast on a wave-length of 2Vj meters, has been picked up distinctly by a few sets in the city, and it is ex nee ted that ?ome time iu tho next week or two a call will be inudo for a general meeting of all "knights of the dial." With from 1"00 to l.rtf0 receiving sets .in Eugene and vicinity, it is ex pected that the owners thereof can do much by means of a club. In nearly nil cities - this size radio clubs tire flourishing. "One man can't' do very much to ward stopping cevtsin kinds of inter ference," said a local fan today, "but when a whole army of them go after it the results arc generally accom plished." It is well known that several caus es of aggravating squeaks and inter fering noises that spoil otherwise beautiful programs are produced lo cally. Often the person responsible knows nothing about it. That is one way the club can bo effective. .So get ready for the Eugene Ita dio club. When the call to color comes, bo the first to enlist to make Eugene safe for radio receiver! Violinist Over KSD Eraucis Macmillen, one of Amer ica's greatest violinists, has joined the ranks of great artists broadcast ing to radio fans. He displayed bis talents to fans who listened in to station KSJ, at St. Louis. Movies Explained Radio listeners were taken through an entire movie production and shown how it is put up, when they listened in recently to station "W1P, at Phil adelphia. Nationally known film star re-enacted famous scenes for their benefit. This Is a static eliminator, take It from radio engineers. It's termed a Scotch clariphono and Is said to eliminate static by some kind of acoustic method. R. L. Luke, chief radio electrician of the U. S. Navy, Is shown beside it. But, trouble is, It's too big for use with the average receiver.
