HUGE LIST AWAITS
BROADCAST PERMIT
Shutting Door on Licenses
Results in Flood of
Application.

Shutting of the door against any
more broadcasters in the United
States has resulted in a more wide
spread desire to get on the air than
was ever shown in the days when OBJ
tanning a license and wave length was
only matter of form, according to
w. ID. Terrell, chief radio supervisor
Of the Department of Commerce.
When the fourth national radio
conference adopted the closed door
policy there We're approximately $50
applications for licenses on file. Since
that time. in the space of three months
the number has been almost doubled
Today there are 33J petitions for ANY
sort of wave length" awaiting action
In Mr.. Terrells office.
According to Mr.. Terrell. waiting
appears to be the only thing the
Would-be broadcasters can do for
some time. 1t has been more than
three weeks since a brOadCasting
license has been granted. and the for
tunate station on that occasion had
been under construction before the
radio conference made its important
decision.
The applications on file are from
practically every State in the Union,
with Florida and California in the lead.
Even Chicago and New York. where
radio congestion has passed its peak,
are still submitting requests for more
wave lengths and more licenses.
Many of the applicants. however.
Mr.. Terrell explained, understand the
present temporary and the possibly
permanent future restrictions in force
by the Government, and have sub
mitted their names and addresses in
order that they may obtain an advan-
tageouS position in the waiting line,
should science ever find some way to
open up more channels for more sta
tions.
Practically everybody who ever
hopes to get on the air, Mr.. Terrell
said has decided that now is the time
to get in his application, and thus the
tremendous proportions of the waiting

CAPT. SPOERRY'S
LECTURE MAKES
SPLENDID HIT

Those Douglasites who ventured
out, into the cold last night to hear
Captain G. w. Spoerry lecture on
China at the Grand theatre enjoyed
something so well done and SO uni
que that they all should have re-
turned home with at least warm
hearts.
With the aid of many attractive
slides, his own pleasing personality,
the harmony of the Camp Harry j.
Jones quartet the melody of the
Camp orchestra, the sweet voice of
Miss Jane Neer, the clever comedy
of Mrs. Spoerry and a subject that
just teemed with interest and hu-
mor-Captain Spoerry presented an
evenings entertainment which prov
ed fascinating and always worth
while 1t was gratifying to per-
ceive such a goodly crowd, for the
Captain and his brothers in the
Pythias, are doing a noble work in
to the national gathering of that
order ito plead, the cause OF, the
lepers that the earth may be clean
sed of that dread disease. On Mon
day night February 8, Capt Spoerry
will give the second lecture of the
series dealing with "Fraternal Work
Among The Lepers."
There was little of China in its
lighter veins which the officer fail
ed to mention last night. Through
out his lecture on the slides, he told
the story of the country's great
geographical dimensions, its wars,
it's buildings, it's rulers and their
marvellous playhouses, decked with
granite and terrible monsters-signi-
flying their. religious beliefs. Then,
when the message of the slides was
completed, Capt Spoerry told the
humorous incidents of Chinese life,
that is, those things about the
Chinese which differ greatly from
the customs of this country. The
union of the beggars, the elevated
position of the boy babies, the sad
ness of the Chinese wedding and the
jolliness of their funerals-a1 these
features and many others which
brought forth laughter, were told
in an effective and pleasant man
ner.
If one might digress from the
lecture however, it must be admit
ted that without Mrs. Spoerry the
evening would not have been COM
plete. She sang a Chinese solo in
a most amusing and riotous manner,
giving her performance certain
touch of dignity and seriousness
which made it appear the more
laughable Her costume was plain
but startling and her birds and
hand baggage afforded a back
ground of realistic proportions.
Both the Camp orchestra and quar-
tet added greatly to the liveliness
of things while Miss Jane sang her
Oriental solo with grace and soft
ness which lent it haunting mel
ody. The Misses Eloise Rokar,
Mable Frost, Adeline Green and
Elizabeth Piper made attractive
