and to the broadcasting station Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone

Washington is particularly. fortu.
nate in being the home Of the United
States Marine Band. but pride in that
great organization is by no means
confined to the Capital city, although
hundreds OF thousands Of Americans
had never heard 1t play.
The telephone company. receiving
the hearty cooperation OF the
marines, set up the necessary ma
chinery at the marine barracks and
one Monday afternoon broadcast an
experimental program. The next day,
according to the officials of the COM
pany, a food of letters began to flow
into their offices prafsing the music
and urging that this feature be made
permanent part Of the program.
Later the demand to hear the band of
bands spread to New York. with the
result that WCAP. the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
broadcasting station, in addition to
their own broadca sting here, sent the
music over long-distance circuits to
New York, where 1t was broadcast by
WEAF, the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
Others expressed the desire to hear
a dance program once or twice a
week. featuring the popular airs as
played by celebrated jazz orchestras.
Many letters suggested certain or
chestras in other cities, but most Of
the fans seemed to lean toward local
organization. Arrangements were
finally made with Myer Davis and the

BRINGING THE MOUNTAIN
TO MOHAMNlED BY RADIO

When the mountain failed to come
to Mohammed, Mohammed, we are
told, went to the mountain. But to-
day telephone and radio engineers
have reversed the order Of things by
bringing the mountain to Mohammed,
so to speak.
BY the use Of long-distance tele-
phone wires and high-powered radio
broadcasting stations It is now posi-

Polo Grounds, in New York City, to

Celebrated artists whose concert tours
are limited to the larger cities are
now brought to every town and ham,

city in which. they are singing, and
dance music rendered by the best Or
chestras in the large cities may be
utilized for dancing in small country
towns.
Technically, this has been possible
for some time. but from standpoint
Of entertainment the success of the
operation began when 1t was found
that by using telephone circuits music
and other forms of entertainment
could be received without the ear
splitting noises that accompanied the
early programs from distant points.
The science OF radio had been de-
velope6 to a point where 1t was no
longer an experiment, but one obstacle
remained which experts declared to
be insurmountable
Receiving sets within reasonable
distance of the broadcasting station
were able to obtain a program of
music that was clear and distinct, but
as the distance between the receiving
set and the station increased pam

Modern Method Of Shipping Milk.

It is now possible to ship milk sew
eral hundred miles without having it
spoil. The old-fashicned milk can has
given way to huge glass-lined tanks
similar to the familiar vacuum bottle.
These tanks are mounted on trucks
and are insulated from the heat by
the use of cork packing. Less than
two gallons of milk sticks to the sides
of these 5,0e0-gallon tanks. Milk has
been handled in these tanks over dis

rise of less than two degrees in tenn

Fine Organist, Visitor Here

The congregation at the Presby-
terian church here Sunday evening
had the pleasure of listening to a
very fine organ recital by Mr.. Rob-
ert Sherrard of Steubenville,- o., pre-
ceding the sermon of the evening.
He played several numbers which
included among others a splendid
improvisation of Safe in the Arms
of Jesus. He also acted as accom-
panist for the singing. Mr.. Sher-
rard is organist of the Westminster
Presbyterian church of Steubenville,
and also has a studio for the teach
ing of organ and piano.
His wife who is very i'll, having
been in poor health for some time,
is patient at Rocky Glen sanator-
ium here, and has been there about
three months. 1t was on her account
that Mr.. Sherrard was in McCon-
nelsville. He came Tuesday of last
week and returned home on Friday,
but came back again to remain over
Sunday and as long as he thought
best
