Speech
Heard Here on
a Local Radio

Many persons gathered at Glenn
ents' drug store, Sixth and Main
streets last night to hear President
Coolidge's speech over the radio.
The speech, which was delivered in
Washington to the United States
Chamber of Commerce members, was
distinctly heard all over the country
as extensive arrangements were
made to broadcast same. The local
radio apparatus brought in the
speech fairly clear except when Old

and the thrill of the whole thing
was that FL Centre folks were en-
abled to hear the voice of their

There and Back in Nothing
Flat" Demonstration by

CLEVELAND, June 23.-The fact
that radio waves can be made to go
"there and back in nothing fiat"
was demonstrated at. .WTAM, radio
station Of the Willard Storage Bat
terry Company, broadcasting from
the Cleveland Plain Dealer studio.
A late dance concert OF request
numbers was being put on the air
when a fan called the studio by
long distance telephone from St.
Thomas, Ontario, placed his loud
speaker to the telephone and sent
back over the, wire the same music
that was being sent out by wireless
fifteen feet away.
The speed of the round trip of
the signals was so great that the
music came back from Canada at
the same instant that It was going
into the microphone in the next
room.
To complete the circuit of sound.
telephone wires carried the signals
from the studio to the transmitting
set, seven mile away. From there
the ether carried them to St.
Thomas, about 100 miles away,
straight across Lake Erie. From
st. Thomas they were put on the
wire again. going about 400 miles
around the lake to get back to the
studio. And the return was in

ROMPING AROUND
RADIO D DIAL
BY Listener.In

Had it not been for a vicious gen.
orator hum that accompanied the
Capitol Theater program last night.
we would have put the musical en-
tertainment down as one Of the best
presented by Roxy. in many weeks.
The why and wherefore of the
hum cannot be identified, nor the
cause of several breaks in the broad
cast.
So we might as well blame 1T. on
the summer.
The only voice that shamed' the
interference into silence was that
of Betsy Ayres. The Texas night
ingale seems to US to improve with
every performance and we are be.
ginning now to count the weeks
until she will be lost to the Gang by
a rapid rise to other fame.
For the remainder of the pro.
gram, it was the Capitol Orchestra
music from the stage and the brief
travesty, Yes, We Have No Ba-
nanas," that aroused our. hearty
applause.
Roxy had promised he would pro-
vide treat for the convention dele
gates and he did.
There was hint of what great
part of the convention proceedings
will be like, when the orchestra
struck up a few bars of "The Side.
walks of New York" >
We expect plenty of the Side
walks" beginning tomorrow at the
Garden.
WRC awakened an unprecedented
amount of interest in a Saturday
night program last week by the
demonstration with the Army Air
Service of broadcast talk between
an aeroplane and a broadcasting
station
1t was the first attempt to try
out talking from a. night flying
plane and 1t was an instantaneous
success.
The only details in which perfec.
ton was not attained was in the
failure to eliminate the hum Of the
planes motor and the inability of
the pilot to hear all of the con-
versation from WRC.
To the listener-in came the salts
faction of hearing all that was said
by both of the takers.

Finishing Touches Being Ap-
piled to Artistic Station
Atop City Hall

NEW YORK. June 2S.-The Mu'
nicipal broadcasting. station located
atop the municipal building is rap.
idly nearing completion. Four
Westinghouse radio engineers are
feverishIy working, applying the fin
ishing touches which mean so much
to the perfect transmission of
speech. 1t may be completed today
Recent tests showed that the To-
cation Of the station was far from
the ideal, being located in the heart
Of New York's skyscraper belt, and
exceptionally close. to several of the
city's largest steel bridges. The Mu.
nicipal building itself, being of steel
construction, is considered detri-
mental to radio waves. The tests
revealed the fact that the building
itself had a natural wave length
of 400 metres, making 1t imperative
that the wave length to be decided
upon should be higher than this
wave. If lower than this, the
building and surrounding metallic
objects would absorb nearly the en-.
tire output. go

1t will also give the engineers an
opportunity to try broadcasting on
the various wave lengths, so that
they may determine on which wave
the best radiation is obtained.
When the above figures are COM
piled, report is made to the radio
inspector, who in turn will detail
one of the Government in 9ectors
to check up the report, after which
the permanent call letters will be
assigned. 1t is said that these call
letters will be WCNY.
The. studio is located on the
| twenty-fifth floor of the building
and is one of the best equipped in
the city. AS one enters the studio
it is at once evident that no ex-
pense has been spared to give COM
fort to the artists. 1t is decorated
in an artistic manner, representing

the room.

apparatus, which has the rating of

Moreover, in the West and middle
West, the campaign is just getting
under way.
The movement Is nation wide and
