RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

The Japanese calamity which virtu-
ally wiped out Toxic and Yokohama
and broke the Pacific cable. gave radio
another opportunity TO demonstrate TO
the world its value in international com
munication, especially in the event Of
emergencies when land lines and cables
fail. Without the single radio conmuni-
cation link left a Iwaki, the world
might have been without details of the
Japanese disaster for az long as a week.
Bits Of news and imperative information
would have been put through by cable,
but radio is said by Secretary OF Com
nlerce Hoover to have literally saved the
day IN bringing in relief as well as in
carrying out the news.
TO be sure. the first brief message
OF the disaster came to the japanese
ambassador at Washington by cable
from Nagasaki via London-out of the
back door of the east, as il were, and
over cables estimated $1,000 miles long.
Ihe Pacific commercial cable from
Japan to Bonin Island, reported sub
merged, and thence to Guam, was nut
out OF service by the earthquake. Mes
Sages are now routed east via Manila
London.
1t remained for radio to carry most
or the official dispatches and news re-
ports across the Pacific to North
america, and radio, aided by the re-
inalnlng man cable connection of Naga-
amount of traffic. The Japanese gov
eminent station at Iwaki, or Tomioka
stepped into the breecl and the world
knows of the excellent service rem
dered by the Japanese operator. who
stood long watch alone. His call
and messages of the disaster were
picked up by the Radio Corporation
station at Bolinas, Calf, and relayed
to all points of the United States.
Many radio experts feel that the
terrible disaster and the severing OF
communication out of Japan will aid
materially in establishing better ra-
dio service between Nippon and the
world. The policy of the Japanese
government has been to control radio,
although American commercial COM
panies have been endeavoring to pro-
vide better stations and transmission
for some time. The Radio Corpora =
tion hopes that it will be given an
opportunity TO establish high powered
stations in Japan in connection with
the cooperation ii has already given
the government toward better radio
communication at less than the cable
rates,

During the past summer Miss Nc
| Neal had a literally open-air studio.
| the building open with only screen
ing on three sides of it. Here she
played daily from early morning un-
! til late afternoon. practicing for her
concert season. Many time the mist
| from the rain was damp on her hands
| as she played and her piano had to
| be tuned continually. This was in
| Peterborough, y. IL. only Il short dis
! tance over the hill from the famous
| MacDowell colony of creative musi-
| clans and other artists. which is con-
dueted by Mrs. MacDoweii, widow of
! the famous American composer.
! The end of August, Miss McNeaI
gave n recital for the Outdoor Play
| ers of Peterborough in an ideal set
| ting. The natural amphitheater,
which seats one thousand persons,
gently sloping hill. Huge pine trees
| furnish natural acoustics and a
creek emphasizes the music. This
amphitheater was discovered by Liv-
| ingston Platt and Marie Ware Laugh
| ton. The audience comes provided
| with blankets and flashlights, the lat

! is seated. The night on which Miss
| McNeal gave her recital there was a

herself playing in the darkness. In
/ this extremely effective setting she
gave a Chopin group. q large Debus-

and Nilhaud
| Miss McNeal is particularly inter
ested in modern music. and although
1 she knows all of the old masters
thoroughly it is the modernists in
which she places most OF her enthu-
siasm.
Il believe" says Miss McNeal, "in
progress in music as well as in every

piano students should learn the De-

etudes if they are to have a broad un-

Radio Stories Denied.

Public antipathy against Germany S
war plans of the future should not be
increased by the report from Berlin
that the German government can stop
! airplanes or other motor vehicles BY
radio. Herr Prostrat Hermann
Thurn, an administrative head of the
German wireless service, dismissed
the stories as so much nonsense" in
an interview sent officially to Wash
ington. He further stated that the
correspondent who sent dispatches to
papers in the United States to the
erect that in June number of auto
mobiles en- route TO Hamburg were
, halted when their magnetos were
stopped by powerful radio waves
from Nauen. was the victim of un-
scrupulous persons. mo such
achievement has yet been anywhere
| reached" the German engineer as
serted, adding that even IL 1t had been
attained by Germany 1T would have
| most certainly been kept secret and
not bruited about by anybody CON
nected with Nauen."
This official information also dis
credits the stories that airplanes of
france hying over Bavaria were
stopped and forced down by radio
waves from German stations
Both stories of radio magnetic con-
| troll are impossible, according to the
German radio expert. who pointed
! out that: Magnetos are inclosed in
/ iron or steel Jackets and could not
| be influenced by radio waves; no mat
| ter how powerful. radio waves cannot
! be directed with precision so as to
affect the magnetic of vehicle or
vessel at any istance from the d.
| recting station, particularly when
the vehicle is in motion; and that, as
| definite or precise directing cannot
! be achieved, every vehicle or vessel
within the zone of influence of the
electrical wave would be similarly
affected. This would stop, bring
| down or sink the vehicles or ships OF
! the operating agency as well as
| those of the enemy.

A Local Girl Who Has Succeeded in. Music.

MUSIC is one of the professions
WI that hold out great promise to
those who are willing to drop
everything else and become slaves to
them. There are many instruments
and the human voice. which gifted
individuals may learn to use rs per-
feet medium for musical expression.
hut music demands continuous and
strenuous practice.
OF all the musical instruments. with
the possible exception of the voice,
the piano has become the most pop
ular for the young girl to take up as
an accomplishment. If not as a pro-
fesslon. This is the story of q Wash
ington girl who took it up as an ac-
complishment and is now q profess
sional success as a pianist.
She is Katharine McNeal. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs H. w. McNeal, well
known residents of the Capital city.
Katherine first thought that the art
of drawing and painting was more
important to her and would provide
her professional interest when she
grew up. Then one day she decided
that she would like to play the piano
and became so very interested in it
that she put all of her energies into
making music the big thing in her
life.
Miss IcNeal studied with many
teachers first in Washington and
then In Philadelphia. Then she went
abroad and studied In Berlin. but was
forced to leave the country and re-
turn to America when the war broke
out. Her last teacher was the French
modernist. Robert Schmitz. Since the
war Miss McNeal settied in New York
city. where she will return about Oc-
tober !, after visiting her parents
here.
While in Washington this time Miss
McNeal has played and will play at
numerous private recitals. She has
an interesting concert program
planned for next season in New York
and expects to teach, also.

gathered for discussion of their radio
sending problems.
One of the matters taken up at this
convention was another transatlantic
radio encounter in December when
the best stations of both continents
will once more compete for inter
national radio laurels. Twenty days
will be the test period, the first ten
of which are TO be devoted to trans
mission by European amateurs and
munication.
Monsieur Deloy is known to Ameri-
can amateurs on account of his per-
sistent efforts during the past year
to establish two-way direct traffic
with powerful transmitters in this
country. He stated that he was con-
fident of final success in the Decem-
ber amateur tests.

USE FISH FOR CANDLES.
Alaskan Indians Find Eulachons
Oil Soaked, Give Good Light.

From the Ohio State Journal.
Alaska has done her best in an
nouncing her material and fantastic
features, now that that faraway land
is in the spotlight.
The latest odd Sffering in her pub
licity is the Siwash Indian announce
ment that they know of a fish. much
like a smelt, to which they have
given the name eulachon. that can be
dried and used as a candle, being so
full of heavy FISH oil that it burns
nearly as well as a sperm candle.
So the fish supplies food, the oil is
extracted for use in cooking and in
preparation of skins for wearing ap-
parel. and the surplus fish are dried
for candles to be used in the long
winter evenings, and the Siwash
smile may be taken to indicate the
belief that other parts of the world
will have to go pretty lively to equal
that story

No Broaa casters licensed.

For the first dime In many months
40 new broadcasters sought licenses
for stations during the week ending
September s. This Is confirmation
of predictions of Secretary Hoover
and his radio aides that the saturation
point has really been reached. That
567 were enough broadcasters, nearly
every one agreed last month, and so
few regret, that the number has fallen
off four. The point now established
Is that evidently those who contem-
plated entering the field also recog-
nized this fact and refrained from
taking out licenses. The activity this
month is the least since February,
1922, but indicates a better state of
stability In the broadcasting field.
During August seven new stations
came into being. thirteen transferred
from Class G to Glass A and eleven
ceased operation. This leaves the
present number of broadcasters at
563 stations. a large percentage of
which are good, reliable stations. like
ly TO survive sometime.
One Glass B station, well known
WGY, transferred from it's classifica-
tion to Glass d. covering broadcasting
development. and now shares this
honor with Pittsburghs KDEA.
