PROGRAMS SH0RN
OF CALL LETTERS
"Station Announcements"
Cut IS Per Cent, Estimates
Made Here Show.

Radio programs originating in the
East have been shorn Of something
like Is per cent of their station an
nouncements" during the past year.
according to estimates made here.
And the reiterated call letters that
were looked upon as constituting one
of the most necessary parts of a
broadcast entertainment in the early
days of radio are now slipped into
the air programs as swiftly and un
noticeably as possible.
Officials Of the Department of Com
merce. who at one time insisted upon
the frequent repetition Of the call
letters. it Is learned, welcome the
change and are leaving the matter Sf
station announcements largely to. d.
discretion Of station directors.
The commercial program" and
the more artistic form of radio enter
tainment developed in the past year
can be thanked for the elimination Of
the intrusion of the call letters. More
over. the distant listener. for whose
benefit the station announcements
were formerly repeated so often. have
come to know their receivers so well
that they can generally recognize the
source Of a program on tuning 1t in
by the markings Of their dials and
their familiarity with the types of pro.
grams at leading stations.
Two years ago it was not at all un-
usual for a station to broadcast it's
call letters 100 times during the aver
age three-hour evening program. In
recent three-hour concert broadca st
through the WEAF chain of stations
on Sunday evening the station an.
nouncement was heard only five
times. In addition. the system
whereby each station in the chain
makes its own announcement has
eliminated the two or three minute
announcements which We're necessary
formerly.

frst time that Emmy had ever eaten
two meals in the same evening, the
last one tasted quite as good as the
first.
Next day was day Emmy was
never to forget. In the afternoon Mr..
Wilson. who had q half holiday.
showed her and John the city. and
then they stopped At A big shop. John
bought her a dress-a blue silk dress.
why. John. you're making q per
feet fool Of your old mother. Emmy
exclaimed joyfully.
There was q band concert In
nearby park that evening and Emmy
went with John. She wore the new
dress to please him. and perhaps she
came as near to being ideally happy
that night as she ever had in her
life.
Next morning she started for home
laden with gifts which John had pro-
vided for Helen and Marjorie and dad
1t was Sunday. and II seemed 90
strange to be sitting In a train In
stead Of In church.
At home everything was In order.
Helen's throat was well, Marjorie
clear, and dad good .natured. The din
ner was cooked. so all she had to dc
that afternoon was TO talk about her
adventure.
Next day came q letter from John.
We'll. mother. I'm going back to
work Wednesday. Your visit did me
a lot of good. I feel as If I'd had a
vacation
Emmy's eyes nnisted as she lin
gered over her beloved's words. A
vacation, indeed, 1t was she who had
had the vacation.
Il was never so rested in all my
life" she said to herself. Il feel like

Then she returned to her wash

Heard Again Because Juror
Was Offered Bribe

Retrial of the case Of Peter Olsen
VS.. John A. Wetzstein and others was
ordered by Judge Fred Jansonius in
district court today. The order was
based on the fact that the foreman
OF the jury which gave Olsen a $4,000
verdict in o personal damage case had
agreed to accept bribc from some
unnamed person for returning ver-
diet favorable to the plaintiff.
In statement accompany his order
Judge Jansonius reviewed the case
and his investigation which led to the
confession and arrest Of Frank Hub
bard, jury foreman, on charge OF
having agreed to accept bribe.
The judge said he had no criticism
to make Of the verdict but that the
law contemplates trial by twelve
disintcrested jurors.
Must Give Equal Protection
"Our courts must give equal protec-
tion under the law to the poor as well
40 to the rich, but If verdicts influ-
enced by hope Of personal reward
cannot be set aside, the poor must
necessarily suffer trcm endous dis
advantage" Jansonius said.
Attorneys for Olsen, opposing the
motion for new trial, had contended

In his statement Judge Jansonius
made It plain that attorneys for both
