This searchlight was developed

The beam of light from the

Radio Dial
BY Llgtener-In

We are now capped and
gowned member of the Class Of
1924 Ambitious Listeners.
Our certificate of award, neatly
printed in Prussian blue, was re-
ceived Saturday from the head
quarters Of the international Radio
Test.
On the diploma is stated that
from the best information available
we were successful in our recep-
tion of a European broadcast pro-
gram the latter part of November.
AS history has been made in
this series of tests" we were told
in the official valedictory, you
have reason to be proud of the
part you took in it."
And now amid all our glory and
honor, we are obsessed by the
thought that perhaps we cheated a
little on. the final examination.
Did we really hear Newcastle or
was 1t Madrid? Or perhaps just
XIII?
At any rate we did hear KOA, at
Denver last night, firing all six
chambers into our loud speaker in
time 1t was only KDKA.
Single-tubers are probably boasting
reception of the Rocky Mountain
station today.
Now that an annual award is to
he made by the Woodrow Wilson
FoundatioHs to the man who has
achieved most in insuring world
peace, 1t is not beyond the realm of
possibility that in years to come radio
will step up for its share in the
award.
Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, whose
address Of acceptance of the first of
the awards was broadcast last night,
may some day be succeeded by the
president Of the World Wide Radio
Corporation.
Caroline Andrewsis is rapidly becom-
ing one of the most popular of Roxy's
Gang. She took hold Of the difficult
'''Caro Nome" aria last night and
came through with 1t splendidly.
Hugh Schwartz the latest addition
to the Gang, followed up the operatic
lead and gave q brilliant rendition of
the "Eri Tu" aria from 1.-The Masked
Ball." "Bomby" also got in on the
operate numbers with the "Di Quella
Pira" from III Troyatore."
Condolences in program arrange
meTlts are frequent these days.
The Holmes composition, by the
Sea-" that was played so beauti-
fully by. the Boernstein Hotel Wash
ington Orchestra Saturday night
was repeated on the dinner hour
program at Pittsburgh last night.
The SOS calls which interrupted
broadcast programs Saturday after
noon and Saturday night were
found to have come from a vessel
off the Irish Coast Fifteen min
ute delays in the broadcasts were
necessary on both occasions.
KTHS, the new Hot Springs sta
tion. made its debut in our loui
speaker Saturday night. A Meyer
Davis Orchestra was providing the
incidental music for the event.

which displayed considerable strength
last night were WBFW, Provi-
