ONE RADIO SET TO EVERY
20 PERSONS, U. S. RECORD
Canada Has One to Every 80,
But Leads in Rate of
Increase.

There is approximately one radio
receiving set to every 20 persons in
the United States and one to every 80
in Canada, but the rate of increase in
broadcast receivers in Canada is ap
parently greater than in the States
Last year there were 1874 ,486 listening
licenses. issued. compared to 207 1928
this year. recently compiled statistics
show. Many are said to use sets with
out permits, however.
Regardless of increased interest in
radio broadcasting, Canadian produc
ton is said to have dropped off about
II per cent in the past year, perhaps
due to increased imports from the
United States. The decrease in money
was reported as about a million dol
lars.
Receiving sets in the United States
are given as 6,500.00 today, with the
prospect of a gain of 100000 next
year, even eliminating many sets
which will become obsolete. The total
United States audience is set now at
&c 900, 900 and the estimate for next
year is put at 100000 by authorize
tive statisticians OF the radio trade.
The American fans are believed to be
spending approximately $685. 000, 900
this year. or nearly $30,000,000 more
than last.

in his book entitled, THE Use of

Co:nmercialized broadcasting has

that the cost of production was

First Telephone Secretarial Service
Will Be Started In New Press Club

The first telephone secretarial serv-
ice switchboard to be installed in
Washington will be put in the new
National Press Club Building. it was
announced yesterday by Charles T
Clagett. general commercial super
intendent of the Chesapeake & Poto J.
mac Telephone Co. 1t will be the
largest switchboard of it's kind in
use.
The secretarial service provides
three secretaries to answer calls for
all the $50 tenants of the building
Two telephone lines extend from the
secretarial switchboard to each tele-
phone user In the building who takes
the service. One line Is arranged so
that when a subscriber leaves his
office he can throw switch and all
his calls will be answered by one
Of the operators. The same opera
ton of the switch connects the sub
scriber's telephone with the operator.
The advantage Of the system, Mr..
Clagett points out, is that the sub
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-10

scribers can arrange with the oper-
ators to answer their calls and take
numbers to be called when they are
not in their offices. To safeguard
against failure of the subscribers to
throw the switch when returning to
their offices the bells will ring on all
calls whether answered by an oper-
ator or not.
The second telephone will be used
for communication between the oper-
ators and the subscribers. The serv-
ice will enable the central Office to
communicate either with the Press
Club operator or with the subscriber.
An underground cable containing
2424 wires will extend from the tele-
phone company's office to the Press
Tub Building and $1,000 feet of house
cable, containing S400 wires will ex-
tend throughout the building. In
addition TO the service provided by
the secrctarial operators, subscribers
may install private branches IL they
desire
