WimiM I rait or tmy a aet mwV" Tbe uetlnn are aniwered by C. A. Klklna f Ihe Kleetric Mlniv, the nrweoi lip in Kngene tn pritr the radio supply buBiuena. A. 8. My ra, prenilfnt of (lie Kugrne Und.o club, will be In rhorge nf th radio department, and a aperlnl room for di-m on t ration and a lurk ia being built Into the ittorp. 'These queatloni," aaya Mr. Klk Iiih, 'hav brpu naked line radio firm bframt popular, and 1 aupp"1 will b aaked for aeversl jeari to come. "My anawer la that there will be BO radirnl rting in radio fur the t frw yearn. The food set of j today will be the good et of tumor row. ThTt will be little change on the ha lie rir'-uita. The nioHt popular aeta nf today are the netjtruilyue, auperheterudinPri, and aperiodic pri mary re generally ct. Then were all popuinr a year ago. Tbe Improvr mrnta will he made not In theory but In the mi-clianiral aipfcti. Metier parta will bo constructed but further than that thert I little probability of any basic change. "iluylng a radio set should he look ed at In the same light aa buying a good automobile or piano. There will be improvements of details In th next few years surely, but they will not nbdolete what you have. The pleaaiiro In operating a set lies In be ing able to get distance. The man whose let does this to best advan tage gets tbe most enjoyment out of bis instrument. "Thera is little logic In overlook ing the many hour of pleasure that ran be bad from a set at the preaeut, just for tbe sake of waiting for some Ibing new. If we all did that there would be no radio as wa know it to day. "There are many great surprises in store for the man who has never owned a radio set and who gels one lor the first time. Any form of en tertainment he deiirra may he had at will. The new allotment of wsvs lengtbs brings tuning within the scope of the most inexperienced , "To conclude, do not hesitate a mo inrut If you deaire to get a set. The programs whlrb are being broadcast and the facility with which It may be received la as good ns it will be a year or two years hence." Immediately following his an nouncement to the radio world that the class H broadcast wava Ivnglha were exhausted or practically no, Hecretnry Hoover wrote to some thirty potential barker of broad canting stations, railing their atten tion to the congealed conditions. Tim letter may serve ns n thneljr warnlng. Ordinarily applications for license ere filed upon the completion ttf stations, but even now it would lie ufele to apply for elaa ft licence, w hen there are no reran rlea In nlhea channels. The name eif the organisations reported by dis trict radio supervisors as erect ing or ronlrmplating the ronx! ruction of ttigh-IMWcrrd stations are tint made known by -the secretary, but It Is tinderHtnod that tnt nf thrin rep yonented religious orders, educational bodies, chambers of rommerce, pub lishers or big manufacturers, ttirrpt for seren pending applicative tn Ktn York and three in t'hlragn, moftt of the reported projects were In the south and southwest; Klorlda, Tessa and Alabama concerns were inmded, Titer are all too late tn secure eirlusive rlas 11 ware length. f It Is curious that so many of these ftrospeetlTe hrnadrakl liawunitlera want to operate Miere the rngfntlnn in at lis wornt.

They could function as well, reach Jut as fsr, and, by remote control lines, be operated from prarllrelly any center nf huinrs or etimmerce. Herenty-eight class N stations are now on the air sharing the forty peven available wave lengths, and about a doien more are on the pri ority lint, moot of them old rlsns A atatlons seeking a iranfr to the more popular route through the ether.

BUGS By Roy Grove SE1IIV6 STATION ESTABLISHED IN TOLEDO III 190 TOLEDO, April II. Th first rs flio sending station in th world, whrra nmsii? and th voice w.ra brrrad'-axt by wlrsleaa tel.phons. was .sisblishsd in a room in tba SVboIss Building-, thia rity, in Jnlr, 1947. .t f. Kor.at, 4runtor of th wlr.lfaa t?lfphone anr fath.r of th prp.ent Mtrnii radio broadaatinit. waa at the e.nding elation. Jlia co worker, Frank B. Butler, received in a room a block awa? in the Ohio liuil.lina. Butler la now manager in charge nt eportfnr gooda and radio aeta in a Toledo department atore. He had been aaaoeiated with Da Foreft since they met at the 8t. Louis Fair in 1MI4 when Butler, then a train dis patcher, visited the expoettion. ' In tbe summer of 1006 Butler, from the atation be had erected at I Manhattan Beach, I,. J., In conjunc ' ti'-n with De Foreat, aent the first i wireless telegraph message across the Atlantic. De Forest in 1007 perfected, in the old Parker Building. New York t lir, the first audion bulb the instru ment that foreshadowed the dawn of the wireless telephone. He aod But ler designed two crude eroding and receiving a'ta and went to I'ut-in-Bar. in Ijike Erie, where during the yacht races tbe wireless telephone proved Its worth. fe Forest bad his set on the Vscht Thelma and aent to Holler, on shore, verbal accounts of the rsce on the Jske. Neither hsd funds. Toledo being nearhr. Butler induced D Forest to come here where they at least could eat at Buller'a falher-in-law'a taMe. Setting up their crude seta in the Nicholas sod Ohio Buildings they car ried on their evperimenla. using an old talking machine for music when not discussing the results orally by wireless. Butler aara D Forest got his real financial start when he was ordered in IfiOX to build 40 wireless telephone aeia for Admiral Bnh Evans' fleet about to sail around the world. But ler left tbe inventor about thia time and organised the American Wireless Institute, tha first of its kind in tbe world. . Orchestra By Mail HBTKOIT, April 11. A course In "school orchestra" ia given by the extension department of Iietroit Teachers' college. Thia course ia in tended for teachers who wish to di rect orchestraa and to broaden their musical knowledge. ELGIN". III., April 11. A new way to pay for broadcasting is to be test ed by stations WTAS and WCF.K here. It con.isis of putting radio enter tsiners on tbe stage to perform be fore a paring audience. For this purpose rharlee K. Erb atein, noted Chicago attorney, who owna both WTAS and WCEE. has leased the Blacketnne Theater, in Chicago, for nightly radio and public entertainments. It ia the first time thia stunt has ever been attempted. WTAS artlsta and the WTAS or chestra will broadcast nightly from the Blackstone stage. A low admis sion fee will be charged to defray the expenses. Nearly 1500 people will have Ihis opportunity of watching the nightly radio broadcasting pro gram. Stara of the vaudeville, theatrical and concert world nre also expected to appear on Elgin programs, facing their audiencea nightly on the Black Htone atage and at the same time hroadcaating their entertainment by microphone through WTAS and WCEK. A remote control, line conencts the Blackstone atage with the operating rooms at Elgin. 40 milea away. , The Blackstone experiment will be a atep farther in the line of broad casting before an audience. Erbstein has been staging hia sludio entertain ments for tbe past year every .Monday night before audiences of WK) persons in Kimball Hall, here. His success at this smsll venture reassures Erbstein in his bigger ex periment. "I am stire the venture will be successful," he eaya. "We have con sistently turned away thousanda of people at Kimball Hall on our public broadcasting nights. "At the Blackstone Theater there will be plenty of room for everyone. If thft public wants it, we will con tinue indefinitely to broadcast from tbe Blackatone Theater. It ia at) ex periment and we will give-jt a thor ough trial." ANNOUNCER LEAVES .

Definite ir. rangementa for broadcasting thii game have not yet been made, but it is believed to be practically certiis that WJZ, WRC and WGY, linked together, will givo the intereitiai picture of the game. - On April '22 WEAF of New Yor, and possibly WEEI of Boston nil) report the game between the Xtw York Giants and the Boston Bravei at New York.
