UNIQUE STUNT
PROVES TO BE
SUCCESSFU U L

WANG gave many eastern radio
fans thrill the other midnight
by rcbroadcast of the KGO pro-
gram while the Oakland, California,
station was presenting dance mum
bcrs from the Hotel Saint Francis
in Lincoln Square, San Francisco.
Thousands of letters, largely ap-
proving the stunt, reached the
Grebc station on Long Island. Dur
ing the rebroadcast five telephone
wires were required to handle the
calls covering the hour and three
quarters entertainment. The re-
broadcast was handled personally
by Alfred H. Grebe to demonstrate
the quality of his new synchrophase
circuit. 2XE, the experimental
station of WAHG was used and re-
ports from as far west as Minnesota
and as far north as New Foundland
have been received. Measuring
moonshine with a yardstick. would
be Il simple task compared with the
ultimate returns of such expert
ments in radio. At any rate it
was the first coast to coast re-
broadcast. East met west, shook
hands and carried ON in a highly
exciting manner to the delight of
Mike and ReMike, as we'll as

What s Doing In Radio Land
Every Band of Waves Carries
Its Own Particular Messages

NOTE-The Fascination Of ia
dio is touched upon by one of
our local contributors, g. r.
Trey, this week. This is a phase
Of radio to which we give little
thought, but when Cne stops to
consider that the air above us
is literally jamnied and cram
med with all sorts of messages,
flying back and forth, each
keeping its respective place in
the scheme of things, it is al
most uncanny, to say the least.
AS We sit in our homes and en-
Joy programs broadcast from near
Iy everywhere in America, little
do we realize the great amount of
radio communication taking place
on the bands above and below
where we receive these programs.
Sometimes OIL the upper reaches
of our dials we hear commercial
traffic which interferes with our
reception. If we could and would
tune up two or three hundred me-
ters higher we could hear literally
hundreds of ships and land station
sending commercial messages, posi-,
tion reports, weather forecasts, etc
TO one who can read these it is fas
cinatimg to hear some Ship talking
with, say, Honolulu, telling hin
what his position is and where he
is bound.
Then as we tune higher We come
to the band of waves allotted to the
navy ships and land stations. Then
up around fifteen and twenty thou
sand meters the powerful tlans
Atlantic and tran9Pacific stations
are night and day sending out THEN
thousands Of messages, helping tc
carry on the world 5 business.

MANAGERS CHANCE
 AT BURRITT HOTEL
(Contlnued from First Page)

J. c. Loomis has been in New York city for the past several days and is unaware of the situation. When asked If he wished to make any statement, President Joseph k. An- drews of the Chamber of Commerce expressed surprise at the sudden up- heaval and said he had not heard of 1t before.
 Tt won't do the hotel aay good" was the comment made ~by one Chamber of Commerce director this morning.
 That there was something going on at the hotel has been an open secret for some time. A man who worked for a while as a food checker in the kitchen was suspected of being a detective" from the New York headquarters. This suspicion was strengthened by the fact that short ly afterwards Mir. Baker was relieved of charge of the back of the house." and MT. Burlew came here and took charge of the kitchen.
 The hotel has been practically run by the New York headquarters, which insists that each individual hotel be run on basis of efficiency as laid down in New York, almost ever since it was opened last spring.
 In the hotel proper for a long time after 1t opened zone man. ager," Louis Tirrell. resided here and appeared to be in authority over MT. Baker. Mir. Tirrell was the man who discovered buttons" whom he ran as a candidate for the boy may or of New York. It was during this time that friction with headquar- ters was given as the reason for the resignation of a Mr. Farrell, chief clerk.
 In December there was said to have been a profit made by the hotel. In January the amount net ted is said to have been about $4,000.
 The American Hotels corporation hoo Aold uONi II Ollt ScL Ul pld1lS WHICH it's managers of so hotels or more are required to follow. Mir. Baker, it is said, did not show eEough pro- fits to satisfy headquarters.
 Mir. Baker stated today that he had no plans for the immediate fu- ture but would go 10 New York where he may later return to his profession. MT. Antipas, who was married recently, will remain for a short time in New Britain and may go to New York later. Mir. Vallinas has thrown down the gauntlet to the hotel manager with the sim pie statement that he will stay in New Britain and open a first class res-- taurant of his own.
 Neither Mir. Worthington nor MT. Soaring would state this morning whether any further changes were contemplated, but Mr. Soaring made the statement that he would be Fin charge of the entire house."

MRS. COLBERT NAMED FOR

Daughter of Late Mayor Beatty Political storm Center in Sen-

Mrs. Elizabeth V. Colbert, daugh- ter of former Mayor Ambrose Beatty of this city. has been nominated by Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York to place on the state motion picture censorship commission. Mrs. Colbert is the leader of the demo- cratic women in Albany county, and, having been named to succeed a republican, her nomination may not be confirmed by the state senate, since this has a republican majority and the appointment of Mrs. Col bert would make the commission preponderantly democratic. The ap- pointment would be for five years at a salary of s7.50O a year. Mrs. Colbert Is the wife of an Albany physician and is head of the bureau of vital statistics in that city.
 Alex A. Beatty, a hoseman at Fire Co. No. 5, is nephew of Mrs. Colbert. Her-niece, Belle NJ. Beatty of Hartford, is prominent short story writer.

 Real Estate Transactions
 Real estate activities have been brisk in Berlin during the past few weeks and a number of deeds have been recorded in the office of the town clerk.
 Pasquale Giannotta and Paul Giahnotta of Kensington have sold to Louis Tosi of Kensington a house and lot on Harding street.
 Albert II. Hubbard of Haddam has sold to D. Brainard Hubbard of Berlin one half interest in @ house and farm on the East Berlin road. The farm is composed of 50 acres of land.
 Jordan and Selleck have sold to Luigi Carlini of Kensington lots IA and 145 on Treasure Field. The same firm has also sold to Frank Motyka lot 126 on Treasure Field.
 Dennis s. Negri of Kensington has sold to Joseph c. Baretta, also of kensington, house and lot on the New Britain road west of the Goss and DeLeeuw Machine company.
 Lucy A. Towers and Reginald Towers of New Britain have sold 10 James F. Cooper, also of New Brit ain, 47 F acres of land on the New Britain road near Towers corner.
 The Building Regulations
 Berlin will have building lines and regulations, if bill up before the legislature at the present time, passes that body.
 The. town needs building regula- tions and there is no doubt about it. Residential sections are not safe at the present time from the undesir- able conditions resulting from the establishment of factories and busi- ness places in their midst. Many pieces of Berlin property would de- preciate considerably in value if fac tories were to he erected in their vicinity and it is to protect the householder who might have gone to considerable expense to erect an at tractive home, that the passage of such a bill is being sought by the officials of the town.
 It is rumored that a business firm in Berlin is seeking to erect a fac tory in one of the attractive residen- tial districts. This would not only detract from the appearance of this locality, but would tend to depreciate the property values, changing the character of the section altogether. East Berlin News.
