There was, as far as we could note,
not a single superfluous word in
the announcement. The worlds
most efficient copy-reader couldn't
have made a better job Of compil-
ing essential facts in the most logi-
cal order than did the pleasant
voiced announcer of WCAP.
Another very pleasing announcer
is the young lady who calls off the
numbers every afternoon for WAY.
We listened to the last few numbers
OF the Woodward & Lothrop pro.
gram yesterday afternoon, and were
very much surprised to note what
seemed to be decided improve
ment in that station 8 transmission.
We followed up the WAY pro-
gram by listening for a. short time
to WRC's afternoon features.
Our friend Arthur Mccormick"
still clinging to his alibi, was run
ming off several solos, in prepare
ton, we hope, for another night
performance.
During the time that we were
tuned in, there developed several
air waits that were not at all to
our liking.
Yesterday we intimated that the
WRC and WCAP broadcasts of the
Cleveland convention were to be
on the air at the same time.
That, we have learned, is incor-
rect. The two local stations will
divide the time Of the convention
broadcast just as they now divide
= their broadcasting hours.
No definite schedule Of the hours
at which the proceedings will be
put on the air can be announced
until the opening of the session

Playing Vital Part

Radio will play q big part in the

farm vote, declared Samuel t.
Guard. director Of the Sears-R oebuck
Agricultural Foundation, who is
here to address the National Asso-
citation OF Real Estate Boards. The
Sears oebuck Agricultural Founda-
ton owns and operates Station WIS,
Chicago.
Mr.. Guard said: 1.-THE farm vote
becomes increasingly important 20
our national life. Since the in
vention Of the printing press, radio
broadcasting is our greatest con-
tribution to the foundation OF an
intelligent public opinion. Every
farmer as he rides up and down
the corn rows thinks through the
big national problems to positive
conclusion. His thinking depends
OF course on the information he has.
Every farmer know dreams Of
the day when he may attend a ma
tional convention and see and hear
for himself the leaders of our ma
tional life. This year he can stay
right at home, tune in on WIS with
his family about him, and get the
whole thing. The spell.binders will
have a new factor to consider-an
invisible audience of millions of farm
people. Truth has new and
powerful ally-the radio"

ing its power, but an idea can be
gathered from the size OF the six
teen aerial towers. each of which
will be only a few feet shorter
than the Woolworth building. This
station will be the radio central Of
the Imperial wireless chain connect
ing London with the most remote
corners of the Empire.
Stations Of the, chain are already
in operation In Egypt, South Africa,
Australia, Canada, India and in her
island possessions Of Jamaica, Trim.
dad, the Falkland Islands, and
elsewhere.
The new station will take over
much of the traffic now handled by
GBL, at Leafields, just outside
London, which Is now used by the
war office for communication with
Egypt and India. It is thought that
the new station will transmit with
tubes, because Of the generally un-
satisfactory service rendered by the
arc system, used at Leafields, for
high speed automatic transmission.
Will Use High Power.
AS Leafields has difficulty reach
ing India direct with 200 kilowatts,
numerous repetitions being neces-
sary, it is likely that Hilmorton will
employ at least double the power.
This will be. about five hundred
times more power than that used
by the average broadcasting station.
An interesting side light of the
British government radio develop
ment was its effort to obtain the
patents of the high frequency gen.
orators now used by an American
company for trans-oceanic commu.
nication.
Radio. fans who know the code
can hear the imperial stations work

nails from LY, on $1,000 metres, are
quite strong in New York on a
detector. The station is not avail
able for continuous high speed
work, because of arc trouble, but it
renders good service on ordinary

Rivalry among the first-class
powers to obtain the most efficient

the race is confined to the Euro

conceded that America leads the

OF two facts we are certain to-
day.
That group Of great Americans
assembled in Philadelphia on Sep
TENDER II, 1887, and that the gov
eminent Of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not
perish from the EARTH"
OF third fact we are almost as
certain-that Don Tyler, Of Los
Angeles, is about the best high
school orator that ever was.
1t was a popular verdict that
chose him winner i'm the national
high school oratorical contest at
the Memorial Continental Hall last
night, the proceedings OF which
were broadcast by WCAP.
This boy orator-it was hard to
believe he was only q boy with
that deep, mellow vocie and smooth
flow of expressive speech-spOke
like a veteran of the pulpit or the
legislative rostrum and displayed
an amazing familiarity with the
Constitution. its history and Its
meaning.
His six competitors. golden
tongued as they were, were always
surpassed by the winning orator.
The place winners, Miss Ruth
Newburn, of Central High School,
Washington, and John M. Dallam,
Of Philadelphia, like Tyler, received
the audiences approval Of their
efforts.
We have radio and the sponsors
of the oratorical contest to thank
for brushing US up In the matter
of the American Constitution.
There is grave doubt that we as
well as hundreds of other listeners,
would have attended the contest
from choice. But we welcomed 1t
when it was brought into our
homes.
And we were pleasantly surprised
lat the brilliance Of the high school
orator of today.
The speakers dropped but seldom
| into the bromide expressions OF the
average high school assayiSt, and
they turned up some ideas and
thoughts that were rather startling
coming from boys and girls in their
early teens.
The announcement preceding the
oratorical contest seemed to us to

BALLOON TIRES BEAR

It is possible to work up to a high
speed in an automobile equipped with
balloon tires almost as quickly as in
one with high air pressure tirea In
fact, the difference is so small that it
is almost negligible.
This interesting bit of information,
following comment which has gained
some footing that balloons retarded
acceieration, comes as the result of
exhaustive tests by the Miher Rub
ber Company.
A powerful car equipped with 53x5
tires was first throttled down to two
miles an hour on a. level stretch of
road Then the accelerator was
pushed down to the fioorboards with
the result that after seven-tooths OF a
minute the car had attained speed
of sixty-five miles an hour.

The good Maxwell is displaying
the possibilities Of the four
cylinder car, in the very things
people want in motor cars, in
a way they have never been
demonstrated before.
With the active participation Of
the Chrysler Six engineering
staff, the process of betterment
begun three years ago was tre>
mendously accelerated.
Knowing that the latest Max
we'll developments approach
the revolutionary in both prac>
hce and results, | have every
justification in the world for
calling Maxwell a most won
derful four>cylinder car.
Further than that, I have no
hesitancy at all in urging you to
confirm my judgment in any
way you choose.
The difference in the way the
Maxwell rides and drives and
steers will impress you instantly.
You will be expecting the vibra>
ton you've always felt behind
a four>cylinder engine.
But you will be delightfully."- dis
appointed-and surprised. For
we have taken that vibration
away from Maxwell. It's gone.
There is hardly need for me to
tell you that people today want
vibrationless riding-and no
rumble in their closed cars.
The device which accomplishes
these results in Maxwel1-for
the first time, we believe, in a
four-cylinder car-is as simple as
revolutionary things usually are.

The motor cycle is not only more
popular in England as A pleasure

said to carry their products to mar

Evening star., 1924-06-22

1t is nothing more than a float
ing platform spring mounting
under the front end Of the motor
but it is exclusive to Maxwell.
Now here are some of the other
results you get in Maxwell; re-
suits that put it right out in front.
You can safely count ON d
miles to the gallon or better,
and $4,000 miles per set Of tires.
Those figures are not ours, but
the average of Maxwell owner
reports.
Main bearings rarely if ever re-
placed; alonger>lived, smoother
running car because vibration
is practically eliminated.
That's the way we are building
the good Maxwell today-with
a far greater proportion Of costly
alloy steels than is usual at its
price. Those are the revolution
ary results of 20 years of exper>
ience in building something like
100000 cars.
Those are the results which I
want to drive home to every
man and woman who is in the
market for a car.
You probably have your own
ideas about a motor car andwhat
you want it to do.
The most l ask is that you COM
pare Maxwell riding and driving
and performance with those
ideas Of yours, and then decide
for yourself whether any other
four you know of. can match
up to Maxwell.
