But there are about 60 long-dis tance stations, designated as “Clans I," among which only 30 separate wave lengths can be distributed. OVERCROWDED And new Class 1 stations are springing up almost every minute! Until recently Boston had one Class 1 station. Then two more Class 1 stations were established, and both demanded wave lengths of their own. The department had only one ex* tra wave length it could assign. Within 24 hours Davis had re reived letters and telegrams from 3,000 fans demanding two more wave lengths—which the depart ment couldn't give without cutting in on Hertford. Now. just to make it more Intri cate. they're planning a new ClasO 1 station in South Dartmouth, in Boston territory! Besides the Boston controversy, loud squawks have cmnnnted from Philadelphia and Washington ns the result of wave length Interference.

Radio Stations in U. S. and Britain to Stage Big Program Radio may break up the big cities. Already it is “dlmlnlah ing crowds,” sociologists say. “Through the wizardry of radio,' points out H. Addington Bruce, psychologist, "recrea tions are brought Into the honte and the best music, lectures, pub lie addresses and sports may he enjoyed without the discom forts of crowds and crowding In public places." In the coming age of radio and television—when you can sit in your home nnd see such events ns airplane flights, presi dential Inaugurations and travel tours —travel and crowds may be reduced to a minimum. Hons Is to give them five and one lialf wave lengths to divide. Chi cago, with nn equal number of sta tions, gets tlie same. Cincinnati has two wave lengths for three sta lions. Bo on down the list. As to dividing up broadcasting time —try and do It! A tough problem—hut Dayls lias issued the following proclamation: ■'Here are your wave lengths— divide them to suit yourselves.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. FACTS ABOUT THE FOREIGN RADIO BROADCASTING On the night of Novembe.r 24th at ten o'clock, eastern standard time. American radio broadcasting stations will open up with their maximum power in the effort to put their programs across to an English audience which will eager ly be awaiting the radio signals from this country. Last year, In the trans-Atlantic tests, the listen ers were’ numbered among the thousands. Captain P. P. Eckers ley, chief engineer of the British Broadcasting Company estimates this year that more than one mil lion radio enthusiasts will be lis tening in England. During the test week, November 24th to 30th, one hour will be allotted to North Am erican stations and .another hour each night to foreign stations in which to send. Each evening at ten p. m., eastern standard time, the North American stations, in cluding those in the United States proper, Canada, Porto Rico, Cuba, and Hawaii, will swing into action and transmit until eleven. Prompt ly at 11:01 p. nv, the foreign sta tions will begin their transmissions, while all the stations on this side of the water remain silent. Listed below are the foreign broadcasters and American broadcasters of similar wavelengths so that a radio fan who knows the adjustment on his set of the American broadcas ter given can most easily adjust his set.

The telegram ahould contain the name and call letters of the foreign broadcaating atation heard, the name and address of the sender, and any necessary facts about the program heard. In order to save time, It is suggested that the tele gram be telephoned to the telegraph office. All communications will be acknowledged but only prepaid telegrams accepted. Each evening, mb soon as the foreign transmission is concluded, a composite message will be compiled and rushed from the Garden City receiving labora tories to Hugh S. Pocock. editor of the Wireless World and Radio Re view. London, who has charge ot the foreign end of the Internationa] 1-adio Broadcast Tests. CROSSWORD PUZZLE CONTEST BY RADIO NEW YORK—The crossword puzzle fad has struck radio.

Colburn of San Lean dro, Calif., has sent In a solution to the station's crossword puzzle which he picked out of the air. Since the puzzle has been put on nightly at 9 o'clock, the broad casters figure Colburn has been busy with his pad and pencil at 6 In the early evening.

The drawing card is a daily aeries of interesting programs broadcast through station KGO, here, and furnished by the State Board of Education.

WHAT A RADIO BUG TOLD I ME AMERICANS AT THE FRONT IN RADIO DEVELOPMENT—De- Forrest, Edison, Paul Godley, Sergt. Adalbert Lamb and Mr. Lambert of Schauls. The other night at a radio party the men talked shop and the wo men talked shopping. Tin foil, sheet copper, sheet brass or aluminum can be used as shields on the hack of panels for radio sets. If Clare Kemp will use any of the above instead of Red Cross Porus Plasters he no doubt will secure better results. “It feels good on the back” may he a good slogan but it don’t apply to radio panels. Schultz Kopper Kreps says lie has constructed a cross word puz zle to fit the linoleum pattern in the kitchen of the Richmond Hotel and it contains space for 32,000 words and invites anyone to solve Rnme. Kopper states that It has drove 5 cooks, 24 waiters and him self insane. Speaking of cross word puzzles, one of our benedicts in the radio fraternity says the four letter word denoting one who is married is “FOOL”. “He groped for a seat in the movies But ere he could find a place He'd caressed a bald head, sat on two laps, And fingered a whiskered face.

When you hear England, France, Germany, Belgium or other Euro pean stations during the week of November 24th to 30th your pre paid message to the International Radio Broadcast Tests at Garden City. N. Y„, will be handled prompt ly by the Western Union Telegraph Company. Mr. Daniels, the full - of-pep local manager is very much interested in radio and has passed out among the radio fans very in teresting and useful information regarding radio. The radio log is very useful and can be secured from his office or Hoopper & Landry's. The youngster who used to want to see the monkeys at the circus has now turned his thoughts to higher things—RADlO. "Arguments are always in order when radio fan meets radio fan,” says Charlie Hoopper of Hoopper & Landry’s. The fellow who reads a radio magazine and visits a radio dealer thru curosity usually starts plan ning to build a set while he's on his way home. Santa Claus, is the only person who rivals Henry Ford and Jack Dempsey for free publicity. From the end of November until Christ mas every year, everyone from tod dler to grandmother, is talking him and eagerly anticipating his annual visit. Everybody is planning and buying gifts—and radio will add its share to the overwhelming flood of Christmas presents. The slogan adopted by station 6 KW. Tuinucu. Cuba, is: "If you hear the koo of the cuckoo you are in tune with Tuinucu.” Havana, Cuba uses a clock during inter missions and when you hear “tick* tock" you are in tune with PWX, Havana, Cuba. KTHS, a new broadcasting sta tion at Hot Springs, Ark., will start sending programs into air about Dec. 20th. This station will be operated by the Arlington Hotel and the wave length will be 275 meters. G. C. Arnoux formerly program director % and chief an nouncer for WBAP will be director of this new station. Correct size and capacity are the first things to be determined in the selection of. a variable condenser. Radio fans insists on rating con densers bv the number of plates, which is all wrong. They are pro perly rated by microfards. That is the standard fixed by engineers and the number- of plates is not a. true Indication of the size of ths condenser. Tim Kearns entertained a crowd at his home last night with a radio party and as static was bad he dis connected antenna and ground and everyone heard distinctly what and wild waves were saying. FARMHOUSE BROADCAST An old farmhouse tucked away In a small Yillage seven miles from New Bedford. Mass., Is the home of broadcasting station WBBG. This is the “Voice of Cape Cod.” LOW FREQUENCY BETTER Low frequency waves have been found to travel farther than the high frequency, according to the Frenchman M. P. Villard, of the Academy of Sciences. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 INTERNATIONAL BHOW Geneva, home of the League of Nations, is planning to be host next September at an international ra dio exposition.

Its main purpose is keep the tubes from draining the B-bat tery, thus producing quite a saving. It also reduces set noises. Water piping can be protected against frost by covering it with plated straw rope. George Eastman did not succeed in making the celluloid photograph ic film practicable until 1889. The average man has reached his maximum height when he is 2- years old. The flavor of meat smoked with corncobs is said to be better than that from hickory.
