File Special Complaints.

The DIX folks file special complaints
that brief announcements by call let
ter. owner and city are not made be-
fore and after each selection for iden-
tifying purposes. They point out that
nothing discourages them so much as
to pick up a station which they are
unable to identify within few min
utes. They object to waiting a half
hour, especially when they are
searching for a specific station.
The fault lies chiefly with an
nouncers who do not enunciate slow
ly and distinctly, with a pause be-
tween letters or names. While some
are unusually good, many seem bored
when giving their calls and rusn
through the letters, probably In an
effort to get to the next selection
announcement. Over the air many
letters sound exactly alike. 1t Is al
f1cult to differentiate between the
sounds of and I, P and B, D and u,

method Of positive Identification
seems necessary
without going into as complicated
and embarrassing a plan as one fan
surpests-a school of enunciation for
broadcasters or carrying criticisms

Navy Plan Excellent.

In the Navy every officer learns an
alphabet composed of words instead
of letters, so that there can be no
mistake when this simple code is
used. Under this plan, affirmative
represents the letter a, baker. b.;
cast" c; dog" O.; etc. Applying
this plan to broadcast announcing,
the speaker might say: This Is sta
ton WRC William. Roger. Cast
using the representative words. or
the KGO announcer might say, This
is station King, George. Optional
The Signal Corps uses lack" for a,
"boueh" for b, cav" for C and Dan"
for d. Perhaps, however, a simpler
set of words might be chosen by the
stations themselves. but the Govern
ment word alphabets have been used
and improved until it Is practically
Impossible to confuse two words,
even If half the letters or sounds
are missing.
Another method is one familiar to
all commercial operators and many
amateurs-the "Dah-dit" method of
transmitting the letters in code,
which would soon be learned and re-
membered. WNYC would be an
nounced as such by letters followed
by dit dah dah, dah dit, dah dit
dab dab. dah dit dah dit"
While in the office of the chief
supervisor Of radio the other day,
radio editor in Philadelphia called up
and asked for the call letters of some
stations. They were given regularly,
but checked back by the radio code.
Although he failed to get some Of the
letters spoken by the first method,
he repeated them correctly when the
speaker in Washington transmitted
them by voice code, SO to speak.
Corridor Praised.
Recently L. E. Gordon. the clever
call-letter assigner of the Depart
ment of Commerce. has done his best
to give broadcasters call letters car
ryfng some Significance. Most of us
know that WRC is the Washington
Radio Corporation station, and that
WNYC Is indicative of Wireless, New
York City. A few may have noticed
that WREO bore some relation to
the REQ Motor Company, and that
WGBS might be dubbed Wireless,

City's new broadcaster probably will
have call WGP, intended to carry

Playground" as WGN Is supposed to
stand for Worlds Greatest Newspa-

Wireless, Edgewater Beach Hotel"
However astute the call assigner
may be, he cannot hope to fulfill all
requests for significant initial letters
nor to change all the old calls, SO this
method cannot be made a standard
one.
Something must be done to school
announcers in pronouncing their sta
tion calls or aid them in putting the
name Of the transmitting station over
SO we can all get 1t the first time.

Ter the recipient a One-third interest
IN an imaginary pOrtmanteau which
contained imaginary certified checks
to the amount of an imaginary $780,
600, in exchange for a ~cablegram
which the Bozeman men were urged to
send at their own expense to one Jose
Mas, in Barcelona, Spain, telling the
pseudo Spanish nobleman that he
would attend to the matter for him,
as he, himself, was incapable of doing
Tor the reason that he was supposed
to be languishing in a Spanish dunge-
on, after having been imprisoned for
bankruptcy. The Courier took the
matter of the alleged swindle up with
the Department of Justice in Wash
ingtOn, with the result that the in
v~estigation has been turned over to
the p~OstOffice department for action.
So far as is known only two letters
were received in BOzeman, one by
George Safely and the other by NJ.
P. Lewis . The former man was en-
gagged in the undertaking and furni-
ture business and the latter conducted
a retail store on East Main street
about the time of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, and it is thought more than
likely that the Spanish swindler Sc
cured their names from Spanish war
volunteers who saw service in Cuba.
1t is also considered more than prob
able that the letters, which were print
ed in black ink from a plate in such
a way as to give the impression of
hand writing, were sent out of Spain
by the thousands, and that many
Americans have been duped into send
ing the cablegram, if not actual cash.
The scheme was too palpable a fraud
to fool, or even interest the two local
men.

from Eearl j.. Davis, assistant attOr-
ney general, Department of Justice
