VARIETY RULES
FOR RADIO


q roaring lion on the wave lengths
shortly after midnight-maintain-
Ing without the slightest break or
let'up the same sorts of rOars and
crashes that had distinguished the
thirty-first of May! Which is why
quite q number Of people who
have radio receivers didn't even
try to do a bit Of dialling last
evening. All sections were equally
noisy.
From the time John A. Brown, of
the Isle of Man. told all. who were
listening to WEAF and WRC in the
early evening about the curious form
of government and the monuments
of ancient civilization in the land of
Hall Caine and tailless cats-the
WRC loud speaker output had much
of interest and entertainment for the
customers last evening. And the
WMAL deliveries covering a varied
field offered all sorts of choice for
the tuning fingers.
The story of Mr.. Brown-who is
engaged in personally conducting
back to his beloved isle some 500
Manxmen who haven't been there
for quite while-offered a most
pleasing and entertaining variation
from the usual run o the mike. 1t
dealt entirely with description of
what tourist might find in the his
toric crown colony, or whatever they
call it, which has had home rule for
generations, and where woman and
man are economically and politically
equal.
The story of Capt. James Law
renee and his famous man-o'-war,
Chesapeake" which came to loud
speakers as this weeks great mo-
ment in history. was likewise filled
with interest and thrills and gave
one the idea that preparing a naval
vessel for a fight a century ago was
almost as much of an undertaking
as doing a Lindbergh across the At
lantic today. Which is why Captain
Lawrence's famous utterance, Don't
give up the ship" has so much
meaning.

Most of the remainder of the

 MARRIAGE MASTERS
Merchants in Manila Being
 Driven Out Of Business

Manila, May 13 LP - Marriage merchants in Manila have been do- ing a thriving business but the mat rimonial seas that lie ahead look stormy. Adverse criticism that was crystalzed at the annual meeting of the Methodist ministers has result ed in disclosures that threaten this lucrative avocation.
 Opponents of the "commercial ized wedding have dubbed unor- dained individuals who perform mar riages "bootleggers of matrimony."
 Many of these individuals. who call themselves Marriage Masters work at some trade or business dur ing the day and officiate at weddings at night. Some even have solicitors who work on a commission basis. some of them have compiled with ganizing little group into a church, thus becoming ministers but after the "ordination' the church passes out of the picture. One marriage master is a barber, daylight hours, while another drives d carromata. a small one horse, two-wheel carriage that serves as a cab.
 The legitimate clergy Of the city believe hundreds of couples have been duped into fake marriages or at least marriages performed by persons without legal qualifications.
 The Methodists have adopted resolution asking the legislature 10 outlaw these marriage masters and require more publicity in connection with weddings. They have agreed to

ELECTR0CUTION IS
 CALLED EASY DEATH
Warden Of Ohio Penitentiary
 Approves Method

Columbus, Ohio. May 13 (UP)-- No one wants to die in the electric chair, yet it is the easiest of all deaths, according to Warden P. E. Thomas of Ohio Penitentiary.
 Warden Thomas, who has made a careful study of the subject. recom- mends the electric chair as far su- pcrior to other forms of violent death, and he Is willing to recom- mend it in preference to death by asphyXiation. drowning carbolic acid. a leap from a tall building. or even by a shot from a pistol.
 "A current of 1850 volts is applied at the start" he said in extolling the merits of the chair.
 Almost instantaneously - in less than 1-24oth of a second. according to syllographic tests - heart action stops.
 ''It takes 24 times as long as that 1-10th of a second, before the sensa- ton made by the prick of a needle at the base of the skull, is recorded by the brain.'
 Thomas went on to explain the ef- fects of the charge carried by the chair. which if left on long enough, would cremate the body of the vic tim.
 While the current is on the heart remains still. When it is turned off, the heart frequently commences 10
New Britain herald., 1927-05-13

beat again. although the man in the chair is not breathing. The man is dead. The heart has no life-sustain- ing qualities. Its beat cannot be &C., celerated nor strengthened.
 AS long as the voltage passes through the body the respiratory or gans are paralyzed. This causes the air to be freed from the lungs. At the same time the blood corpuscles disintegrate.
 Either of these. the paralysis of the lungs or the disintegration of the blood corpuscles. is of itself fatal.
 Blood Of an electrocuted person does not congeal. The shattered cor puscles can never be put together again and the idea that an electro cuted person may be revived is false.'
 The warden declared that 1t is easier to electrocute healthy man than a sickly one.
 "A sickly man does not die as easily for the reason that his skin is dry and does not conduct the cleo tricity as well as when it is damp. And for the same reason, it is easier to execu-c man in the summer time when his body is bathed in perspira- ton than in the winter. when his skin is usually dry" he said.
 Thomas said that during the cleo trocution the condemned mans body temperature rises to 14S and the temperature of the brain to 200 de- grees, although man cannot live at a higher temperature than 11O de- grees.

Schenectady broadcast the same program and il seemed to come through slightly better.
 A first rate vocal quartet sang I'll Made You Happy" from WRNY, New York, another station which was possessed of plenty of volume. After that. the Andelusial Serena ders offered a program of Spanish and Portuguese music. the first be- ing a march.
 We finally went over to WTIC, where. at 10 o'clock. control was switched to Washington. for the speech of the president. The U. s. Army band played '"rhe Star Spangled Banner" and then came the fanfare of brasses, announcing the arrival of President Coolidge. He received a great ovation and we stayed through his entire talk. It was slightly more interesting than usual and he seemed to put a lot Of inter est into 1t, himself. His voice was sharp and distinct and the micro- phone service seemed also to be bet ter than usual. At the conclusion of the talk there came a marimba solo, together with other selections.
 When wTIC signed of, we moved the dials just a few points up the line and brought in woe, Daven- port, very loud. That station was broadcasting the proceedings of a style show, a capable orchestra pro- viding the tempo for the models. Ac- cording to the announcer some of the gowns must have been o. K.

Hroagk he Static

Last night was . queer duck. There was plenty of volume all eve- ming and it was possible .o hear sta- tions all over the place. The static began shortly after dark and it in- creased in proportions until Il o'clock. when 1t seemed to take . sudden inclination to almost quit. From then on there wasn't SO much of it. There was plenty of volume and intense clarity.
 Jack and Dorothy staged their weekly battle from WIZ and WBZ They went to see naval picture and after they got out of the the- ater. Jack immediately rushed his spouse be to Staten Island ferry so that he could have the salt air blowing on him. He had the naval bug and the salt air was necessary to his very existence. He kept on talking and Dorothy dida't seem to understand what 1t was all about. He finally told her it had been waste of money to take her to the show, and then the battle was on. Jack said he was going to join the navy. but after 8 rough trip on the ferry, during which he became very sick. he changed his mind and the little act ended happily.
 By the way, Jack and Dorothy will make their farewell appearance next Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock, so don't miss 'em. Their refre shing. en- tirely natural comedy is one of the best things on the air.
 George Olsen's program from WBZ and WIZ was uniformly good. We listened intently. believe you us. because we hate to miss sny of that orchestra's work. Everything from march, "The Victor," to !'hot" solos by Fran Frey and the trio were presented. One of the high spots of the evening was the response of Fran to number of requests. He sang. accompanied by the trio. "Just a Sailors Sweetheart" "The Girl Friend'' and "Hi-Diidle- -Diddle." Those three numbers are 50 well ar- ranged that one never tires of them.
 Harmonica solos, played in a real- ly expert manner. which made the instrument sound like an accordion. were provided from WLW, Cincin- nati, which came in loud, accompan- jed by static. A concert will be given Sunday evening for the benefit of the flood sufferers. 1t was announced. There's nothing like cheering them up, and if they can hear some good music through their earphones or lcudspeakers. as they it disconso- lately on the tops of their houses while automobiles and other rubbish float by, SO much the better for them.
