Preacher Must Talk
Slowly In Big
Cathedral
LONDON. Jan. Ay.

Cathedral preachers must de-
liver half-speed sermons, ac-
cording to Hope Bagenal, an
authority on acoustics.
One spoken syllable in almost
any of the larger English ca
thedrals may remain audible for
five seconds, and an organ note
for ten. seconds, Bagenal states.
AS four syllables are ordinarily
spoken in one second, in a lively
sermon in a cathedral, rever-
berating for five seconds, the
syllables assemble upon the ear
twenty at a time.
New preachers in st. PauPs
Cathedral are warned that their
sermons must consist of only
half tie number Of words used
in parish church.
Reverberation in cathedrals
prevents rapid speech.

RADIOGRAMS

Weekly broadcasting of concert
programs on a wave length OF
400 meters by the station at the
Ecole Modele de Telegraphie In
Marseilles has begun in France.
This broadcasting will be under
the special patronage OF the
Petit Provencal, a local daily
Newspaper, acting in conjunction
with the National Congress OF
Wireless Telegraphy.
Although no brOadcasting sta
lions have as yet been estao-
lished in Spain, there is con-
siderable interest Of late in radio
sets of sufficient range to re-
ceive broadcasts from Paris, The
Hague, Berlin and London.
The public broadcasting sta
lions in Chile are innovations,
according to advices reaching

owned by the Chile Radio Com

RADIO SETS IN USE.
Manufacturers Estimate
100000 Devices Are
in Operation.

Although no accurate figures
are yet obtainable. it is estimated
that there are at least 100000
radio sets in actual use in the
United States today. Manufac.
turers of talking machines esti-
mate that approximately 10000
900 of their devices are in use.
Investigation shows that in many
cases homes are equipped with
both radio sets and talking ma
chimes.
All sorts of interesting figures
and statistics about radio are
constantly developed. For in
stance, Babson, the economic au-
thority, estimates THAT $500, OO0,-
900 worth of radio business will
be done during 1924.
A well-known manufacturer OF
insulating material expects to sell
$4,000. 900 worth of panels, knobs
and dials this year. One Gus
toner already has bought $780,
900 worth. 1t is the generally
accepted opinion that about so
per cent of the sales of radio
dealers is radio parts and 20 per
gent complete sets. One New
York dealer says he sells several
hundred simplifying transformers
Of a well-known brand each week
and another, who operates half
a dozen stores, sells 1900 every
week
The largest manufacturer Of
complete sets has a factory ca
pacity of 5000 sets per day and
recently has reduced prices on
his entire line in view of factory
economies due to large produc-
ton. Radio progress is measured
in minutes.

that such q large proportion of
the educational show Is given
over to these functions. In the

from each department will be on

answer all questions, and in addi-
ton a broad review of the work

for the benefit of the man in the

In the navy section will be

Hawaiian Woman
Thrilled by WHAZ

With Aloha" greetings from
Hawaii, the Paradise of the Pa
cific, Mrs. c. H. Judd, of Wal
kane, p. o. Oahu, Hawaii, ex-
presses "many thanks for the
thrill of hearing w H A T." She
reports that two steps of audio
amplification brought the pro-
gram in clearly with the phones
and If N P NJ, the naval station
twelve miles away had been off
the air ST would have had you
clearly through the magnavox. "
She continued: "Can you imagine
how my dear husband felt when
he heard from the Rensselaer,
Polytechnic Institute? He went
to the institute at Troy from
Hawaii when a young man, in
1884. We heard W H A z
through all the high power so
near to us, which very nearly
makes radio impossible for us
here. We are twenty-three miles
from Honolulu on the windward

Pacific before us and a high
mountain back of us. Hope we
can hear you often.

Possibly the most interesting
feature of this section is the &C

speed sending and receiving in
transoceanic circuits. Messages
are punched out on tape, sent at
high speed through the Klein
schmidt automatic transmitter,
and received on the undulator or
tape recorder, just as they are
in service work. This gives a
clear reason for the fact that a
message handed in at Broad

in the hands of the delivery
clerk in London, or Paris, or Ber'
lin, at 1901.

Frances Jones, musical directress
of the broadcast, brought a re-

According to this bug" hu.

The Motive Power Of Business

The time must come when all businesses will
consider the advsabity of advertising in the same
spirit that manufacturer ponders over the advis-
ability of adopting new machine. One does not
install piece of laborsaving machinery because it
suits his fancy but because the efficiency of bust
hess requires it.
He expects the new machine to reduce his OPP
Grating costs-perhaps to make better product
and thus aid him in meeting competition and max
ing larger profits.
Advertising is exactly similar The man who
refuses to consider it as possible expedient,
simply shuts his eyes on one of the problems of his
business He might as well ignore the banks as
sources of credit when he wants capital.
On the other hand, the man who looks to ad-
vertsing to checkmate all weaknesses and short
comngs of his business and to carry it along to
victory, despite these has child-lke faith in the
miraculous.
Advertising will not make his product or his
service any better than they are; but it will bring
him the full benefit of their merits 1t will not
eliminate wastefuness in his factory or store but
it will reduce his cost to operate. If will not make
illogical selling methods successful; but it will
assist good selling methods and often point theway
for improving them.
Advertising is the most inexpensive motive
power that the merchant can buy today. It's a
form of stimulus that brings excellent returns on
the investment.

LE0N|DA CORONI
SCORES IN
RECITAL
Greek Baritone Offers Inter-
esting and Varied
Program &

A baritone new to us, Leonida
Coroni, proved himself q singer OF
wide attainment last evening, In his
first Washington recital given at
Masonic Auditorium. Youth, vital
lily, d voice Of broad range that has
in its upper register a real
glory OF tone at times. char
acterize this singer who belongs es-
sentiaIly to the world Of the opera.
Max Rabinowitsh that artistic &C.
cOmpanist whom we know from his
appearances here with Chaliapin,
was co-star in this joint recital. Mr..
RabinoWitsh makes rare dramatic
backgrounds Of his accompaniment,
his tone color and variety Of mood
proving always g. delightful part Of
aria or song. AS sQloist, he pos
sesses q facile technique that made
OF his MendeIssOhn Spinning Song"
a suaVs and charming thing, while
his Chopin is meiodious and the
Lark" (Glinka-B alxireff1 again dis
closed an artist Of tone-color and
real Illusion in Interpretation.
Mr.. Coroni sang Italian, French
and Russian opera Arias, each in Its
native tongue, and with his encore
in English he established his culture.
Yet, added to these. he gave two
final selections in his native Creek
songs that bear q strong touch Of
tha folk-song of Ukrainia, dramatic
in defamation, with the oft-repeated
cadence OF the folk-song into which
he put an infinite variety Of meaning
--heroism, pathos, merriment. These
songs were epic in character and
were most interesting. bringing en-.
thusiastic response from an audi
ence composed Of many Of his fell
low countrymen.
There is danger Of too much tenn
permanent, clouding the purity of
tone in this excellent voice. It some
times destroys the melody In inse-
cure intonation. But with so fine
a dramatic sense, with such splen-
did vocal organ, this fault should be
easily overcome. The fine Rachman-
inoff song, Christ Resurrected. :.
sung in Russian, demands this puri,
flying Of tone with less vibrato. TO
a "Pique Dame" aria Of Tschaikow-
sky and arias OF Verdi, Diaz and
Saint-Saens, Mr.. Coroni added as en-
cores, Birth of Morn of Leoni,
"Elegie" of Massenet. and aria from
Ambrose Thomas Hamlet" and a
Greek song, 'Labelet."
