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- ;

It seems probable that broa'dcasting
is permanently esatblished as a public

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.

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.
