WORLDS RICHEST STREET
Man Is Poor Who Lives On Park Avenue, N. Y., If He Does Not Get $50. GOO . Year At Least.

New York, Jan. 2s R,-An ex- penditure of $28O,o0O,o0o in 1927 by the 1e.OoO residents in three miles of New York's most fashion able street-Park Avenue-is pre- dicted.
 The estimate of expenditures In what probably is the worlds wealth. jest thoroughfare was made by H. Gordon Duval. president of the Park Avenue Association. The estimate shows the average individual Income Of the residents to be $75,o00 a year.
 "The man who earns only $50,- GOO a year is poor man if he lives on Park Avenue" said MT. Duval. He asserted the survey represented a four-year study. Many incomes '' he said, "exceed a million a year"
 Wealth undreamed of genera tion ago pours from the swanky apartment houses that tower along both sides of the avenue, and in many of which, says MT. Duval Fifty and sixty millionaires or really. multi -millionaires, live in a single house."

you, When we tuned in on WEBH. Chicago, we heard a fellow singing, she's Still My Baby" At that time the following thoughts chased them selves helter-skelter through our mind. That fellow has been listen- ing to phonograph records too much. He's just trying to initiate Jack it." and other rather uncomplimen- tary things. And then, to have the fellow say. Yours very truly, Little Jack Little." It almost knocked us flat, because he's usually the acme of originality. He might not have been trying to initiate Jack Smith, but it sounded so. If so. not so good, Little Teller. Stick to your own stuff. .M.... a.
 "WOC transmitting" We like to hear the announcer out at Daven- port say that. It's really erect. too. It's different and the station has al- ways been identified by that word. Some have said that the word, trans- hitting, more accurately describes what radio stations do, than does the word, broadcasting. At any rate, we like transmitting better. Well. woe was very loud. too, and it came in with smash after WTIC signed off. At 10 o'clock it handled the WEAF program, and later it branched out on its own hook, pro- viding a quartet and several soloists. One of the numbers by tenor was "Meadowlark."
 We waited long while for WOW, Omaha, and we finally brought 'em in. Loud and full toned. The Okla homans played Arkansas stomp" and Stampede" two numbers which are among the hottest of the hot Code was troublesome at times.
 And so we left. We didn't mention all the stations that crashed in. in- cluding CFCA, Toronto, with pro- gram by John Powell, famous plan ist; WIZ, with George Olsen at [ o'clock, swirling around in a mean way; WCsH. Portland, Maine, with somebody's melody boys, a dance az gregation which needs practice, al though the station was very loud; WEAO, Columbus, with what sound ed like "A Day at Ohio State;" VEAL, Baltimore, with variety of classical offerings. and many others. We didn't make note of most of them. because there were too many available.
 That's all for today, thanks! -P. k. l..

Catalina Swimmer Entered U.

Los Angeles, Jan. 2s.-tR-The unwelcome spectre of immigration rulings today thrust. itself between George Young. youthful winner of the $25,O0O Catalina channel prize swim and his fat vaudeville con- tracts and prospects for movie fame.
 The 1T year old Toronto boy. his companion Bill Hastings, faced the possibility that they will be deport- cd because they failed to comply with immigration regulations when hey entered this country at Detroit on their way to California.
 If the pair cannot produce proper y vised permits to enter the United States Young at least and perhaps Hastings, may be forced to return to Toronto, Ont. After complying with the regulations in Toronto, they may re-enter the United States and re- turn to Los Angeles and Hollywood where the swimmer has lucrative stage engagements and is dickering for film contract. Hastings already has entered upon a movie career.

Through fife Static

Well. we've decided not to sell the set. The reason stands forth in all it's glory. Last evening was right up at the top Of the list. It was excellent, nay, we'll nigh perfect. There was volume in quantities and the selec- tion of stations was large one. The overlapping of stations was noticed, and don't forget 1t. There was some disturbance of & local nature but we didn't log any static during the eve ming. Midwestern stations just drift ed in with almost no effort on our part, and all stations possessed a natural quality which is noticed all too seldom. We didn't attain any stattling success, that is, any great distance or unusual reception rec ord, but we were kept going throughout the evening. fully occu- pied with what the ether dished up for us.
 The evening began and We started out by tuning in KDKA, Pittsburgh, at 6 o'clock. Dinner music was be- ing broadcast and we say right here that it couldn't have sounded more natural if the orchestra had been playing in the room, an old descrip- tive phrase, but true one in that case. Every instrument was strong and each one possessed its own col orful tone, with no interference and with nothing to deaden. Beautiful, but KDKA faded to some extent.
 WEES transmission maintained re- nsatkably natural qualities through out the evening. We were first intro- dueed to the broadcaster at o'clock when Arthur Clifton presented his ergcn recital, playing, among others, Let Me Call You Sweetheart" Then later. came the Collegians, two voting fellows, with songs and 8 gui- tar! They sang close harmon pretty well and their interpretation of the popular numbers was refreshing. T She Knows Her Onions" was one, while 'Susie's Teller" was offered as solo.

Schenectady. He doesn't make very regular appearances before the mi crophone of that station, he and his band. We remember when. several years ago. he and his orchestra used to appear during several dinner mu- sic periods each week, and when he used to be featured each Saturday night at 1O.30 o'clock. That was when 1t meant something 10 bring in Chicago and western stations, since they were all using 500 watts output, or less. That was when 1000 watts power was an event and sta- tions jumping to that power were looked upon as giants.
 WEAF, New York. was loud all evening, and WTIC didn't get a chance to stage any interference. When we were tuned in on the former, the Hartford station might just as we'll have been 50 metss away At one time we were able 10 bring in WRC, Washington, with WTIC footing away in the back ground That's unusual, to say the least. We didn't spend much time at WEAF, listening to fragments Of the programs. Banjo stuff was on several times when we tuned in. In fact. we hit upon banjo and guitar music at several stations not identified with the National Broadcasting company network.
 The Capitol theater program from WTIC was as enjoyable as usual. Manager Clancy improves each week as a radio announcer and he is be- coming as much a favorite with that stations fans as are any of the men employed at the studio. He has tal- ont and he Is interesting as he talks about the entertainment going on at the theater.
 WSB, Atlanta, was lost in consid- erable slag during most of the eve ming and we found it difffficult to bring in that station. We managed to hear baritone solo, Cottage Small By a Waterfall" At 9:55 an- other station came in on the same wavelength, with great power, and we heard the time signals. Very nice. Very nice.
 A quartet, vocal, at WsM, Nash- vile, provided pleasant melodies. The station was loud. although 1t had a lot to contend with in the way of interference from others, but. in the main, 1t prevailed above the roar of the tempest. meaning squeals and howls and music from no one knows where. This quartet sang Gypsy Sweetheart from Victor Herberts s Fortune Teller and we enjoyed it. The tone was full and well rounded and the piano accompaniment came through especially plain. But the voice of the announcer wasn't so loud, or, at least, it didn't carry so well.
 Another loud one was WTAM, Cleveland, which sounded great all night. Tremendous volume was there and the organ recital by Vincent Percy was a knockout. He played & medley of popular airs, including Sunday" in his own peculiar style which borders on the classical at times. No fading or interference. Just straight melody and lots of it., all evening-from WTAM.
 We hit WBRL. Hilton, New Hamp- shre, which was louder n the dickens on a wavelength of about 4l6 meters. Transmission was rather tinny, for some reason or other. The orchestra was inclined to play rath- CT slowly, too. Just a little thought to modulation and that station will be a knockout. Gone Again Gal" was one of the numbers, and How I Love You" was another.
