One forward step in the crusade
that is sweeping Chicago and the rest
of the country as an effort TO rid the
air of its hideOusness by eliminating
the radio squeals and bowls is the
opening of a store at 1872 South
Michigan avenue, where these "bloOp-
ing" sets may be traded in for sets
that will not radiate and make life
miserable for other listeners.
The place is called the Radio E1-

Organization to Promote
Welfare of Ether
Performer.

Plans for the coming yesr have
been announced by the executive
directors Of the Radio Artists As
Sociation of America at meeting
in New York in which accomplish
ments since the formation of the
organization last January were
summed up. The organization,
which showed its members how 10
broadcast, plans to put on a series
of programs under the auspices of
the association at various radio sta
tons.
The programs will he arranged and
artists supplied by the organization
in an effort to assist the program
directors and to prove the efficiency
Of the association. Many of the men,
bers have expressed a willingness TO
take part in these programs and the
numbers and features will be ar
ranged with view 10 providing
variety and originality.
FOR ARTISTS.
The r. A. A. A. has been formed
solely for promoting the interests
of the radio artist, and since its
has increased its membership
steadily. Despite the many bandi'
caps which beset any new organl-
zation a number Of things have
been accomplished and several i'm
portant decisions reached which
have been of material benefit to
the artists.
Omen discussions have been a
feature of every meeting and these
have resulted in an exchange of
ideas of value 10 all present, ac'
cOrding to the artists own state
ments. At times when phonO-
graphic tests were being made OF
voices Of announcers and artists as
a means of telling how well their
voices were adapted to broadcast
ing, the members Of the II. A. A. y.
discussed the subject and called in
several photograph men in addition
to getting the views OF several
members who are also recording ar
lists.
VOICE VARIANCE.
II was brought out that voice'
record in entirely different ways
on photograph records and the
radio microphone. The mechanical
devices are entirely different and
while the result Of Photographic
singing can always be guaged, the
micrOphone must be treated differ
emily for every voice and instru'
ment.
As an aid to prospective broad
casting artists, class in radio en-
pertaining was formed and all APP
plicants taken care of and advised
by members Of the association, free
Of charge. Several people who had
never broadcast before and who
showed ability were assisted in get
ting radio bookings and in prepar-
ing their programs.
An investigation Of methods used
by program directors of various
stations in rating artists for book
ings and Of types of entertainment
which they preferred, resulted il
the listing of this information 81

stations prepared to give the typt

Enthusiasts, Crosley
Declares.

Ever since Ev. started decorating

has since proven a real expense 70
husbands throughout the world, won-
en- hav. played the leading role In
dressing up everything. that has CONS
in their province. While women have
not always given Us the beautie. that
make civilization outstanding, prse
ticslly all of the srts and decorations
have been due TO women's unending de-
sire for the beautiful.
The development OF radio receiv-
ing sets within only n few years
from a mass Of coils, wires, switches
and knob. to the beautiful cabinets
containing the 1926 sets, is due
wholly to this woman influence.
And this development Of attractive
exterior has done nearly as much
to popularize radios in the home as
has the mechanical advancements.
Only five years ago Friend Hus-
band was permitted to tinker with
his set in the kitchen. When he sue
ceeded in getting good reception Wife
was pleased, but still held that, re-
gardless of how good the music was,
he could not bring that thing" into
the living room. Then nicely finished
boxes enclosed the radios "innerds.
and radio made its debut in the front
of the house.
Since then women have become
keen radio fans. Today they form
large portion Of the radio aud buy
ing public. They still demand an at
tractive looking set, but also want one
that will give them distance, good re-
ception and selectivity.
II anything were needed to assure
the permanency of radio, the entrance
of women as a potential force was
the clinching argument. When any de-
vice is once admitted into the home
its success is assured, and the radio
sets of today are so artistic that they
have come to be regarded as a piece
of furniture that adds TO the appear
ance Of the home.
