rather surprised to see
that his fellow voy-
ager. the, captain of
the Miramar, had de-
cided not to make har-
Dor, but to keep on his
course. II was late in
the day when, so far
as is known, the crew
of the Seyon were the
last human eyes to see
the outlin9s of the i'll
fated Miramar as she
kept on her course,
well f-sshore, due
south for Miami that
Monday afternoon, the
last day of November.
And the mystery of
her disappearance, like
many another mystery
of the sea, will prob
ably remain unsolved,
for no lifei-boat, no
bodies, not Pne scrap
Of wreckage has come
ashore; nor have Coast
Guard cuttelrs found
any trace of her. The
Miramar lies BON the
ocean bottom, found

It was the eighty
mile gale that sprang
up from the northeast
soon after Captain
Klang made harbor
that undoubtedly foun-
dered the Marimar.

To GIVE
GOOD WILL
MEDAL!
Wen-known Radio Artist
Establishes Prize for
World Peace.

The employment of the radio as an
effective channel for the advancement
and maintenance of world peace was
given fresh impetus today when Vim
cent Lopez announced the establish
ment of the Vincent Lopez Medal
The well-known radio artist stated
that he would give annually an award
TO the individual who, in the opinion
of n chosen committee. contributed
the broadcast designed to bring about
the greatest measure Of international
goodwill.
Shortly after Mr.. Lopez returned
with his musical artists from a re-
cent European trip, he expressed the
belief that the most effective means
of breaking down interna tional proju-
dices was through the medium of the
radio. He cited at that time the pos
sibilities Of transatlantic broadcast
ing and the goodwill that would IN
evitably follow wider radio commune
cation between Europe and the United
States.
Mr.. Lopez intends to award the
medal with the assistance of a COM
mittee including representatives of
each country in which radio is ex-
ltHSlNtig tnNitH gu. IN tuuitiOH ~
these representatives he will ask prom
inent editors in the large American,
European and South American cities
to serve. This body will be known as
the committee Of Recommended tons.
and the actual award will he decided
upon by further body composed of
prominent American citizens and men,
bers of the various diplomatic corps
in Washington.
At the end Of each year the medal
will be presented and those eligible for
the award will include all individuals.
who. in the opinion of the awarding
body. have broadcast with the inter
ton of cementing international good
will.
The "viucent Lopez Medal" will be
designed by q prominent artist and
will be cast Of previous metal in COM
bination with metal obtained from

SUPER POWER BIDS
INCREASING WEEKLY

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-Since
the Fourth National Radio Conference
there has been a big increase in appli-
cations for increased power among sta
tions. The policy OF the department
in dealing with these applications is to
grant an increase of power when it
would be beneficial to the public and
not result in interference. In large
cities where there are a number OF
stations Of high power already in oper-
alton, the power increase is not likely
to receive favorable consideration IN
less experiments definitely prove that
interference would not result.

WLW ARTIST REC|TES
MANY POEM REQUESTS

To be able TO recite any popular
poem when called for. is one Of the
achievements Of Charles Meade. who
has been making friends through this
unique stunt In his weekly broadcasts
By the Crosley WLW station. He
can reeite the poems from memory
but il is difficult for the radio audi
e1ee 10 believe this when they cannot
see him in the studio.

Charlie. Il can read a poem two or
three times and il is stored away in

do the stunt. The idea of memoriziDg
poetry has been one of my pet stunts
for many years and when ] attend

poems required BY my teachers with
very little study.
81 will try 10 give the radio audi
ence poems which will have an appeal
10 the greatest majority Of listeners.
Most Of the requests are for poems
of the North and West, Of the Robert
Service type. My desire is 10 give
poems like the 'Rubyat.' although It
" not the type that the greater por-
fion OF the listeners prefer"

" Is worth while doing some expert
menting with ground connections and
you viii probably find out some very
interesting facts. One Of the simplest
and best methods 10 use in testing the
efficiency Of various ground connec-
tions is TO tune in a station as far dis
tant as possible, then reduce the vol
nme until you can just hear the sig
nal family. Make note Of the dial
settings on the rbeostats controlling
the volume. Now diseonnect the
ground and try one Of the others you
have srraneod and compare the vol

necr. of Chicago. today forwarded to
Y. K. Smith. director Of the national
tests. report covering period OF
eighteen months.
Eighteen months ago I discovered
quite accidentally that distance re-
ception was almost impossible on a
night when the moon was full and high
in the sky" said Mr.. Therrien in his
report II thought. of course. that
this might be merely a coincidence,
but ! remembered what / had learned
regarding the magnetic effect of the
moon on the tides. and il occurred TO
me that such visible electrical dis
play ought to have definite influence
on the ioni5ed stratum of atmosphere
or whatever il is that carries on. de-
fleets or blocks radio waves. Each
silent night I made careful note Of
reception conditions and lunar phases
and gradually ! built up the evidence
10 show that my supposition was at
least worthy Of further investigation.
SUMNER STATIC.
81 discovered that during the sum
mer we frequently had nights free
from static. despite warm. sultry
weather. Invariably, such nights were
those when the moon was in the first
or last quarter. ] discovered also that
many nights which began with the at
nosphere perfectly 'dead," so far as
radio reception was concerned. showed
marked improvement later in the night
when the moon had gone closer to the
horizon.
sTbe right Of December 2sth Of last
year was a typical one. The air was
crisp. cold and clear and there was no
improbable moisture-in spite of
which il was impossible TO pick up any
but the most powerful distant stations
and very few Of those. The moon was
just approaching fullness. For two
hours it was impossible 10 hear any

BETTER AFTER IL.
After midnight conditions improved
and continued TO get better until just
before daylight when everything went
dead again. have noted similar con
ditions virtually every Monday night
when the moon was full or high.
Il am not attempting 10 draw def
inite conclusions from my observations,
the record Of which is enclosed here
with. But ] do believe the results are
sufficiently interesting and of suffi-
Gent importance TO the radio public to
warrant an investigation of lunar in
