British Critic Says Radio
Has Made Real Music
Popular.

DENVER, Nov. It's musical taste
and appreciation being uplifted and
are radio listeners swinging over to
the classics?
"Yes!" is the emphatic answer OF
Percy A. Scholes, widely known music
critic of the British Broadcastir = com.
pany, with headquarters in London
who is on a tour of America.
'For example," he observed. eve
read in musical history that Beethoven
was born in ITO, but for thousands
he was only born in 1900 or 1910
when monographs or reproducing
pianos came into our homes. And for
millions more, Beethc-sn was only
born in 1921, or perhaps as late as
1925 when many of us first acquired

trio broadcasting station of Denver
he pointed out that marked changes
in the public attitude toward music
within recent months.
Introduction of broadcasting was
the greatest event in the history OF
the art of music" he continued. THAT
America should have developed such
manifold broadcasting activities is
matter for congratulations. Our Brit
ish experience is sure to be the Amer
lean expericnce-give listeners plenty
of fine music and they will learn to
like it."
Less than eighteen months ago, he
recalled. English radio enthusiasts by
the hundreds charged that Bach, Bee
thoven and Wagner were acceptable
to 'highbrows who like to swnnk about
their superior tastes" but we're not
suitable to tIrei workers.
Likewise, it appeared that the
average listener had little or no time
for music by composers with un.
pronouncable names ending in sky
as one listener expressed it. A great
many persons demanded a few mice
sentimental songs or some honest
American jozz.'
These attacks have virtually ceas-

listeners are learning to admire works
of classical composers, musis that has
artistic impulse. On the other hand,
they are not adverse to what we call
amusement music the sort that en-
joys a life Of about two years and
then falls into oblivion"
As music critic for the British
broadcasting organization, Mr.. Scholes'
duties consist principally Of fort.

SINGERS
ON K0A PROGRAM

Appearing before KOA's micro
phones is a canary bird choir of 20
virtuosos in which two feathered solo
ists-Pete and Archie-are starring.
They are heard regularly every Sat
urday evening during an instrumental
program of orchestra music under di-
rection of Ed Wurtzebach at the Best
Cafeteria. Denver. which is featured
over the General Electric broadcasting
station from o to IL o'clock.
Though a surly bird, Pete is rated
the leading triller of the feathery en-
scmble and, therefore, his cage is
mounted nearest the microphones. On
the other hand, Archie, a diminutivc
songster and keenly intolerant of riv-
airy, is noted in bird circles as a two
voice singer. His vocal sweep, it is
said, ranges from the top of the bari
tone scale TO the highest note ever at
tanned by n coloratura soprano.

PUBLIC STRONG.
FOR LOOT, SAYS
ENGINEER
Says Building Of Set to
Operate Efficiently
Still Is Problem.

The comparative dearth OF loop
operated receivers available to radio
enthusiasts is a reflection not Of pub
lie desire. but Of rare difficulty in
finding engineers who can design and
build loop sets which will function as
powerfully as the owner desires.
Statistics gathered more than a year
ago showed that 30 per cent Of the
radio public preferred loop sets. The
statistics indicated that the proportion
of preference for them was growing.
Despite the indicated public prefer
ence for loop sets, there are barely a
half-dozen varieties manufactured, as
compared with the scores of outdoor
aerial varieties.
Why then. the question naturally
occurs, are not more loop receivers Of
fered?
The answer was supplied by Will
liam II. Priess, president of the Press
Radio corporation and himself fam
Gus engineer.
"When one is told that a certain
set is loop-operated," said Mr.. Press,
1t is equivalent to saying that the
receiver is handicapped with less than
IS per cent OF the energy received by
set on an outdoor aerial. Now that
is terrific handicap and it must be
met by supplying the loop set with
four or five times the power the ordi-
nary antenna set has. This Is diff
cult to do and that is why you see so
few loop-operated sets. For convent
encc, for superior selectivity, for gen.
eral all-around happiness. the loop-set
has it all over the outside aerial set.
Ultimately there will be no other kind
used.'
For years Mr.. Press has been the
leading exponent Of loop sets. BE
has built n new one this year that is

FIJI ISLANDS
TUNE IN ON
CHICAGO

This story seems to require bit of
prelude, just for the enlightenment OF
people who have no adequate concep-
ton of what loneliness can be-pro-
found, abysmal loneliness.
We felt that way once in the days
when wireless telegraphy was just
getting on its feet. 1t was on O
small steamer. There were no other
passengers. 1t was night and we
were lying at deserted wharf at
Willcmstad. Curacao, Dutch pos
session off the coast Of Venezuela.
The ships engines were SILENT the
most of the crew asleep, there were
no people in the streets Of the town
and they didn't speak our language
had they been about. 1t. was op-
pressively still and We were ex-
trcmely lonely. Then the captain
brought out a battered photograph
and. like many others. who have
Jared far in solitary places, we gave
thanks unto it. That is prelude
enough.
The story is that the radio season
has opened in the Fiji Islands, and
Willemstad is q great white way
compared to Fiji. Jerry Sullivan,
WQJ. was apprised of the fact in
a letter received yesterday from
Richard Tiper. who has n little mis-
sion Mt Lantoka. For months. said
the letter, static had been terrific
amid the tropic storms, but on Sep
TENDER 30 the weather cleared and
after months of isolation the lonely
mission was again connected with
the biz world through the magic ra-
do. Mr.. Tiper said the storms made
his aerial almost useless. but he was
getting splendid reception through
an indoor loop or buried antenna.

fercnt lately in the accord on play

MUCH STATIC
CURSEDbYFAN
IS MAN MADE

One of the greatest causes Of an
noyance to the radio listener-in Il
"old man static" Many an other
wise enjoyable evening would be spent
listening to wonderful music interpret
ed by the numerous artists Of the all
were it not for the eternal swapping
and crashing of atmospherics.
1t really is very necessary that this
be eliminated as nearly as possible,
especially il broadcasters are to con
tinue to spend good money for pro-
grams.
In nearly every case which experts
have investigated the cause has been
man-made static. Now if man made
it, he can eliminate it, but the cure is
not effected by attachments to re-
ceiying sets.
HOW TO LOCATE 1T. -
There are many ways Of locating
and stopping this noise. 1t may be
located by the use Of a portable re-
ceiving set with loop aerial, or by
employing what is known as a search
coil. This search coil is composed
of q coil of wire one to two feet in
diameter, fastened to pole six or
eight feet long. About so or 40 feet
of wire should be attached to the
aerial post of the. receiving set and
connected to this pole within fou'
inches of the coil.
This may be carried around the
room and held near electrical appli'
ances or light sockets in order to dis
cover where this radio noise is coming
from.
One thing sure, never have we had
less ship interference and many thou
sands who have regenerative sets have
learned to tune them without unnec-
essary squealing on the air.
MOST INTERFERENCE LOCAL.
Most of our troubles come from
local interference. set up by sparks
from some electrical appliances, such
as fans, vacuum cleaners and heaters
One of the worst offenders is violet
ray. Nevertheless this can be mininl-
lied by the use of condensers bridged
across the contacts.
In nearly every case Of interference
there is a remedy. 1t depends upon
the individual whether it is worth the
effort. but fans who are to be enter
tanned free of cost, owe it to them
selves and to the people who are pay
ing the bills to make radio reception
as clear and free from noise as pos
sible. Many of these programs cost
several hundred dollars an evening
This is entirely lost if listeners do not
enjoy it.
THEY STOP NOISES.
The telephone company is doing ev
erything possible 10 stop noise frou
motor commutators. The power com
panies are also investigating all com
plants where it is possible to get any
definite information and are correct
ing the trouble.
Where the interference is neithe
from the power companies nor tn
telephone companies but from som
electrical appliance, it may be rem
edied by calling in a first-class radio
service man, most of whom are abb
to locate this trouble and remedy il
Not always is the noise outside of tn,
set and this may be determined b,
leaving the set tuned on and removing
the aerial wire from the set. If tn
noise ceases, it is outside. If it con
tinues. the trouble lies somewhere il
the set.
