ARCTIC EXPEDITION
TESTS TO CONTINUE
Radio Experiments viii Last
Until Party Sails for
Northern Lands.

Test transmission from the three
amphibian planes to be used in con-
nection with the Macmillan expedi-
tion to the Arctic will be continued
after the planes arrive in Boston and
until the expedition sails, it was an
| nounced today by the Navy Depart
ment. The tests will be on both the
3S5 and the 425 meter wave lengths.
Amateurs throughout the entire
country have been asked to listen in
on these tests, as we'll as the tests to
be conducted while the planes are in
hight from Philadelphia to Boston.
Regular radio listeners who are ac-
Qualnted with code have been ad-
Vised that they may be able to pick
up the 425meter signals near where
they ind WSB, Atlanta. The 3S5.
meter signals, however, will not be
audible to the ordinary receiver.
Although no voice messages will
be transmitted on the fight from
Philadelphia to Boston, it is expected
that some tests with voice on the
lower wave length may be attempted
during the days that the transmitters
are waiting in Boston for the expedi-
ton to sail.
1t is hoped particularly, that anna.
teurs In the Middle West and on the
Pacific coast will attempt to tune in
the low wave-length signals. The
short waves have a tendency to Jump
great distances, though they are in
audible at intermediate points, and
are liable to be heard in the United
States during the Summer months,
while the Macmillan party is up in
the Far North. The 425-meter set is
regular Navy transmitter and is
not expected to be heard at great dis
tanceS.
Among the most interested of the
listeners-in to the short-wave sig
nails will be the officials of the Naval
Research Laboratory at Bellevue, D.
c., where a special watch will be set
to study the tests and to determine to
what extent the signals may be ex-
pected TO be heard later In the Sum
mer.

RADIO IN GERMANY
MAKING STRIDES
Country Registers Approximately
Three.Fourths Of Million
Listeners.
By Consolidated Press.

By Consolidated Press
1t took approximately 40 years to
enroll 100000 telephone subscribers
to the phone service in Germany, but
radio, with already approximately
$50 900 licensed listeners, will dupli-
cate that enrolment in less than two
years, according to Consul c. W.
Ravadal, in report today to the De-
partment of Commerce.
German listeners number 714,35S,
with most of them residing in Berlin,
according to the latest statistics. The
increased interest in radio and broad
casting is attributed largely to the
changing Of broadcasting from a pure
state monopoly to an enterprise
wherein private capital was entitled
to own 4s per cent OF the capital
stock.
Nine Stations Operating.
Under this new arrangement. nine
broadcasting companies operating nine
main stations and FIVE substations are
now on the air regularly. The main
establishments are located at Berlin,
Leipzig, Frankfort-on.Main, Munich,
Stuttgart, Hamburg, Breslau, Nun.
ster and wenissburg. Each covers a
radius of approximately $50 kilome-
ters, which is subdivided according to
postal districts. It has been decided
that no additional main stations will
be established, inasmuch as it is said
the entire country is now completely
covered with broadcast entertainment.
There still is public opposition to
the government ownership, Consul
Ravadal says. and the argument is
advanced that the unrestricted. un-
licensed system Of the United States
is working out more successfully both
for the broadcaster and the listener
| Like American broadca sters, the
Germans are turning to greater power
as the means Of further popularizing
the radio. Until the first of the year
the average power used at the main
plants was 1900 watts, but altera-
tions in the transmitters are being
made to permit sending with power
varying from 1000 to 10000 watts
Programs of High Type.
In arranging their programs the
German broadcasters seek TO present
purely intellectual and educational
| programs, with entertainment for va
| rfety- Subjects which would please
only the passing whims and fancies
OF the public are avoided. No political
speeches are transmitted and no con.
| nections whatever are maintained
with the political parties News dis
| patches receive far more attention
| from the German broadcasters than
do those of any other country in the
world. The broadcasting companies
| have endeavored to popularize music
and not to prevent the listeners from
attending operate performances and
concerts. Before transmitting an
opera, the program or libretto is sold
to the subscribers at a nominal price.
Likewise after an opera has been ra.
| diced, theater tickets are offered by
the company at reduced rates.
