caused 10 follow fife vibration on thu record thus changing the sound wave Into an electrical wave, which in turn is sent back through the radio set, just as though 1t wna an incoming radio wave, and amplifled to the desired degree by the ampl. 1 lying apparatus of the radio set.
 Immcdiately after tlr special test program from WEAR on Monday night, MT, White and the members or his orchestra went to Mir. Hoyt's room iE the Bitmoro and listened 10 the replaying Of the program. they had just transmitted. Mir. White and tho members Of his orchestra pronounced the recording truly re- markablc." Mr. White has made many photograph records for the large recording companies. and de- elared that the radio reproduction Of these two compositions, Blue Devil Eyes and In Little Wigwam," was as excclently accomplished as it would have been in photograph I studio.
 Station WENR, owned and oper- ated by the All-American Radio Cor poration, at Chicago, after q success iul test program held last week. went on the air this week with a regular schedule.
 The power used for the present 100 watts with a wavelength of 26G meters Q130 kllocycles) and the station will divide time with station WBCN, also of Chicago, and on the same wavelength. The present schcd- ule of WENR is; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening from to and 9 to 10; Saturdays6 to p. m, and 2:30 to 4 p. m. Sundays.

 According to E. N. Rauand, pres ident of the corporation, which has been one of the leaders in the radio industry, the present station will be replaced with 1000 watt Western Electric plant in tho near future. Two towers, 200 feet above ground, are in process of erection on the new building at Belmont and Tripp av- enues, Chicago.
 Present plans provide for the com pletion of the towers and the new station about August first, at which time power will be increased to 1000 watts, with facilities to increase power up to 5000 watts as soon as government regulations will permit This will place the station among the most powerful and most modern in the country.
 Announcement is made by Charles J. Pannill, vice-president and gen. eral manager of the Independent Wireless Telegraph company, that that company has readjusted its waYelengths in order to conduct it's commercial telegraph business be- tween ship and shore without caus- ing interference to the reception of | broadcast programs. This change was made voluntarily by the com pany, and supports the contention of Mr. Pannill that all that is neces- sary to avoid interference is a wide separation between the bands of wavelengths used for commercial telegraph purposes and those set aside for broadcast programs.
 "Up until the time that this read justment was made we had been helpless in the matter of interfer- ence," said Mir. Pannill. I've were obliged to transmit on the 600 meter wavelength assigned for telegraphic purposes by the Department of Com merce. and it was next to impossible to prevent interference with the higher wavelengths used for broad casting programs, especially those between 43O and 526 meters. We retitioned the Department Of Con- lnerce repeatedly to allow us to op- crate on higher wavelengths, partic- 1 ularly in the vicinity of Long Island Sound where the interference was bad, and thcreupon took the initia- tive and readjusted our New London, Conn, station to operate on 920 me- ters. W9 also changed our transmit ting apparatus on the Sound stcam- CTS to operate on .S75 meters. in each case notifying the Department of 1 Commerce of what we had done. l Since these changes were put into ef- | feet, no complaints have been re- 1 ceived.
 International broadcasting has 1 become a definite fact instead Of a vague possibility since the advent of super-power hroadcasting stations. The vast radio audience has been awakened to the necessity of a moro 1 complete understanding among broadcasters of the different nations, Powel Crosley, Jr.. president ot The Crosley Radio Corporation, through his studio director, Fred Smith; is making the first concrete step in the direction of personal in- terchange of ideas. Mr. Smith is go- i ing 10 Europe in June to study 1 broadcasting abroad. He will visit England. Germany, Holland, Swltz- crIand, France, Belgium, Italy and ! probably Russia.
