Radios Growth in 1924.
In four years, radio has grown
from the scientific hobby of a few
thousand fans to one of the major
Industries of the United States, with
expenditures for radio sets, parts and
accessories for 1924 expected to reach
the total OF from $240. 200. 900 to $780,
100000. These facts are pointed out
by the McGraw-Hill Co., publishers
of engineering and Industrial papers,
in announcing the first appearance
January 2 Of Radio Retailing, a new
monthly to be devoted exclusively to
radio.
Expenditures by the American pub
lie for radio in 1920, the announce
ment states, totaled about $4,000, 900
In 1921, 100000 were spent by en-
thusfasts. In the next year expendi-
lures jumped to s60,000,000, and in
1928 S120,000,000 was the publics out
lay for radio sets. parts and acces-
series. The original selling field has
expanded to include, among retailers
who sell radio. music and photograph
shops. radio shops, furniture stores,
sporting goods dealers, department
and housefurnishing stores, drug and
speciality stores, automobile supply
houses. electrical dealers, electric
light and power companies and cleo

RADIO QUERIES

VIII you kindly let me know in

you help me out?
c. E. CURRIER.
The call letters 2XBJ belong to
Gimbel Brothers Store in New York
City. and are used during tests. The
stations regular call is WGBS. The
radio editor has no records to show
whether WHAT or WIAB were broad
casting Tuesday night. Veal North

lege on the HILL" and WMH, Cincin-
natl, THE Station on the HILL" You

hour, but two hours later time would

some ship equipped with radiophone

has such apparatus, but it was at its

UNLIKELY TO ALTER
WAVE BANDLENGTK.
Department of Commerce
Unwilling to Add to Problems
| of Broadcast Reception.
By CARL HI. BUTMAN.

81 Rather than create further inter-
ference and make radio broadcast re-
ceptfon more. difficult than 1t is, the
Department of Commerce is disposed
to leave the broadcasting stations
very nearly where they now are in
the band assigned to this form of
radio transmission. The higher
powered stations probably will be
left on practically the same wave
lengths they are using today.
With applications from new Class B
stations increasing each week radio
officials know that they cannot make
the situation any better. They liken
it to traffic on a busy thoroughfare
where more and more automobiles
appear each day. Traffic regulations
are, of course, necessary in the other
as we'll as on the highway. but it is
doubtful whether, with heavier traffic,
additional regulations would facil
itate matters or cause the increased
traffic to move any faster. What the
department ropes to do is the pre-
serve the rignts-of-w for all sta
ttons son the ar and not to make
matters any worse than is necessary,
except by allocating new stations
channels.
Tests Were Started.
As. soon as it became fairly definite
that an ALLEGATION of separate wave
lengths to the existing IS Glass B
stations and about 40 proposed sta
tions, 10 kilocycles apart, as impos-
sible. series of tests was under
taken Of which the radio public was
unadvised.
Starting December and running
through December s, the following
stations were assigned frequencies 5
hilocycles apart, and on December 8,
the same stations were adjusted on
wave lengths, kilocycles apart.
