of another car. kidwell tried to es-
cape when the policeman appear ed,
but was stopped by a civilian and
turned over to the policeman and
Detectives Davis and Alligood.
Two young brothers of Kidwell,

tomobile transactions the past few
months, and the prisoner is said to
have admitted thefts of two cars. One
of the cars belonged to George D.

will be the first promotion of con-
sequence made by Commissioner F. A.

1t was said today that police Off

successor to Capt. Dean, and 1t Is
probable that Inspector Charles A.
Evans. acting chief Of police, will con-
suit with Maj. Daniel Sullivan, who
is sick, before making a recommenda-

clared that the promotion will be made
on merit and not because particular
applicant is able to muster a great

Capt. Dean. one of the older and
most popular members of the force,
has been in the service since Novem-
Der H. 1885, most Of his duty being
performed in the harbor precinct. AS
a boy, Russell Dean had followed
work on river boats, starting on the
lower Potomac in Charles County.

Radio Makes for Church Unity.

Speaking of radio and church unity,
Right Rev. James L. Freeman bishop
of the Episcopal Diocese of Washing
ton, in a recent address before the
National Press Club, said;
More and more l am coming TO
the conviction that through the me-
dunn of the radio we are to bring
about among all types and classes of
our people not only a better under
standing, but a finer spirit of unity
and comradeship. In the course OF a
ministry covering 81 years | have
never had a greater evidence of the
widespread interest in religion-and
that from all types of people-than
during the year and a half IN which
we have been broadCastinG our serv-
ices from the National Cathedral In
Washington. 1t is becoming literally
true that the transmission of truth
through the medium of the air effects
a unity of spirit hitherto unknown.
Jew and Gentle. Catholic and Prot
estant are coming to realize that God
hath made of one blood all nations
of men to dwell on the face OF the
whole earth.
"The volume of my mail. from what
have come to call my radio congre-
CATION. represents every type Of mind
and every profession of religious faith.
Among the most chivalrous and gen
erous of these letters are those that
come from communions other than
my own. Nothing has heartened or
encouraged me more than the letters
l have received from Jewish rabbis
and Catholic priests and the official
representatives of the many com
munions scattered over the country
side. These letters disclose a pas
sionate yearning for a finer express
sion of unity and fellowship. They
also reveal, without exception, the
transcendent interest OF men general.
ly in the great theme of religion.
"If any one needs a demonstration
OF the sheer popularity of religion
let him note the interest disclosed
Sunday after Sunday by countless
thousands in the religious messages
sent over the air. l find that this
new method of preaching to an ip-
visible and widely scattered congresa-
tion increas ses immensely my sense
of responsibility and, as a matter Of
fact, ! prepare more carefully for the
vast radio congregation than 7 do for
those who are present in the cathedral

with the continuing improvement
in radio, covering greater distances,
this influence will be extended abroad,
increasing the foreign demand for
American singers. already notable
through the export of American
Photographs and records.
Nothing was more surprising to
me than to learn a few years back of
the increasingly large sale of Ameri-
can phonograph records in the Ori-
ent-in China and Japan. The result
is being felt this year in the concert
world. Americas advance musical
agent, the phonograph, has done
the work. These Orientals have re-
ceived our samples, and now they de
mand the singers.

greatest sopranos and a native of
Baltimore, sailed recently for the first

and on the Continent, even in Copen-

Radio Develops Love for Music.

America today is in the undergoing
Of a musical renaissance, which is

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

G. Francis Jenkins, the Washington
inventor, who developed a method of
transmitting still pictures by radio, Is
perfecting his radio moving picture
projecting and receiving apparatus
and will stage a public demonstration
soon.
Recently in his laboratory before
several governmental experts he made
a test for record in which he pro-
jected a short movie film from one
room to another quite successfully.
The film. depicting Dutch windmill,
was pasted together into a continuous
belt and inserted in MIR. Jenkins radio
protector, the impulses being carried
to a large antenna on the roof of his
Connecticut avenue laboratory, where
a small receiving aerial, short dis
tance from 1t. picked up the radio ema-
nations, carrying them below to an
other room in the laboratory, where
the receiving apparatus was set up.
In this room the witnesses observed
on small screen a fairly good repro
duction of the moving windmill. They
report that there was considerable
Pickering, just as there was in the
early moving pictures, but state em-
phatically that the moving picture
was reproduced by radio transmission.
Within a few weeks MIR. Jenkins
plans to install one or two radio NOV
ing picture receivers In the homes of
prominent governmental officials IN
terested in radio development, the
houses selected being several miles
distant from the laboratory. From
the laboratory he proposes to trans
NIT regular motion picture film by
means of his radio protector, antic-
ipating successful reception and re-
production on the receiving screens in
the residences of the officials. At this
time the press will be invited to wit
ness the experiment at both ends of

showing a heavy falling of of our
exports, but the February exports this
year were greater than those Of
February, 1924.
The past year was a record breaker
and January the banner export
month. Total exports in 1924 were
over six million in value, nearly twice
the value of the 1923 radio exports
and almost three times those of 1922.
A study of the Department of
| C0mmerces table of radio exports
shows the great increase began in the
year 1922, when broadcasting was
started abroad and many radio tele
phone transmitters were shipped from
| the United States to foreign countries.
| 1t is the big transmitters which run
| up the totals and not the small re
ceiving sets. In 1922 England's radio
| imports from this country increased
