How Programs are Filled.

The radio audience has so fire.
quently complimented WEAF and
WCAP for their wide variety of pro-
grams. it may be Of interest to the
audience to know how the programs
are decided upon by the staff which
books the features for these stations.
Every letter-and there are hun
dreds received daily-which comes to
every fact which 1t contains. Every
suggestion, monument. criticism and
approval of the listener is noted in
tabular form so that the consensus
of the audience is accurately deter
mined. Artists are booked in ac-
cordance with the expression of the
radio audience and a correct balance
OF educational matter. popular music.
dance music, classical music. instru-
mental selections and sporting fea-
lures are maintained.
WEAF and WCAP frequently have
features on their programs which are
experiments to determine the reaction
of the radio audience. For instance.
recently series Of lectures was
offered by the staff Of Columbia Uni
versity. The purpose of the expert
ment was to find out what demand
exists for educational matter and in
what form 1t may best be presented.
The number of approvals of this
series or talks is an indication of the
popularity of educational features.
BY concentrating periods of dance
music on regular schedule. Wednesday
and Saturday evenings, 1t has been
possible to satisfy the demands of
the radio audience for high-class
dance music. The fact that dance
music is now presented on a fixed
schedule has made devotees of tazz
regular listeners to WEAF's Wednes-
day and Saturday evening programs.
While the average broadcastlng sta
tfon Is maintained with a personnel
of from six to eight persons. the ex-
tensive work which WEAF is doing
requires staff of no less than fifty
seven. Some of these are technical
men engaged in obtaining program
matter at points outside WEAFs
studio. others in booking artists and
features for that program aNh still

Dawson at Monica's elbow.
As his arm slipped through hers
she cast one last glance into the
seething den. The circle dissolved
into the form of an irregular horse
shoe. She saw the central figure
stagger back, the horn spectacles
slipping from his face, saw the long
arm of the powerfully-built oriental
outstretched, the index-finger elo-
quent of a hoarse denunciation that
was lost in the tumult of voices, and
caught the CLINT of the blue barrel
of an automatic. Pennington swung
completely round on II heel, his
pistol sending his antagonists
stumbling over one another, leaving
him a channel through which to
escape. But he only fired once.
With astounding accuracy, he shat
tered the glass chimney of the
swinging lamp, plunging the build

Thirty seconds later Monica found
herself leaning against a wall under
