Imminent Danger of COL
Iapse-Remedy Taken.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON.-St. Paul's Cathedral IS
in danger Of succumbing to years OIL
assault by subways, sewers, heaFy
trucks and buses, which rumble al
around it from morning until night.
The structure Is the first great
Protestant church built in England,
and the masterpiece of Sir Christopher
Wren. famed architect. who helped
rebuild London after the great nre
of 1866.
City authorities served notice on
Dean w. r. Inge, official CUSTODIAN
that st. Paul's Cathedral dome is re-
garded as a dangerous structure ana
in imminent danger of collapse.
Preventive Measures Taken.
Preventive measures already are
being taken.
The eight great hollow pillars sup
norting the dome are being filled with
LIQUID cement, tediously poured IN
through holes bored at Intervals. Inc
cement has reached the ground floor,
and experts engaged upon the recon-
struction think it will take six more
years to complete the work. Rein
forcements of steel also are employed
In the meantime that portion of the
cathedral under the dome IS cioSeu
to the public. thereby reducing the
seating capacity from 5000 to 1,OOO
persons.
ST. Paul's is the third sacred edifice
to be erected on the present site. The
first was built early In the seventh
century and the latest completed in
ITO. 35 years after it was started by
Wren. He followed the ground plan
of the old English cathedrals, the
form of a Latin cross.
Contain Noted Bells.
The two great western towers, al.
though dwarfed in magnificence by
the great dome, contain the noted st.
Pauls bells, including Great Paul.
17-ton bell, which rings for five min
utes each day at 1 o'clock.
The ratings inclosing the church
yard are relics of old st. Paul's. The
Queen Anne monument in front Of the
cathedral is a replica of the one erect
ed in 1712 to commemorate compile
ton Of the church. An Indian girl in
the plinth symbolized the American
colonies, which had not then broken
away from England.

RADIO "FAN MAIL"
ALMOST PASSE
Fewer Letters Being Received at
Broadcasting Stations Than in
Previous Years.

Writing radio "fan mail" is a house
hold pastime that is becoming more
or less passe. Almost every broadcast
ing station in the country will attest
to the fact that far fewer letters are
being received now than in previous
years. Most responses from listeners
today are evoked by offers of some
sort or other.
Station managers attribute this de-
cline not to a diminished interest
and critical interest. at that--of the
fans but to the fact that they take
radio as matter of fact sort of
thing today, where only year ago 1t
was a much greater novelty. After all,
they point out. radio as the average
set owner knows it is scarcely more
than five or six years old.
Walter G.. Stone of the National
Rroadca sting Co., remarking that more
than $4,000 letters were received by
Station WEAF' and the National
Broadca sting Co. "red" net work, de-
clares that the radio audience is not
much given to writing letters. Most
who do write do SO but once. think
ing they have done their duty, al
though there are bugs who make IT
:, point to write regularly. Mr.. Stone
saws that most criticism contained in
the letters is of a favorable nature:
those who dislike certain programs sell
dom bother to write in about their
preiudices.
This recalls the classic remark Of the
late chairman of the Federal Radio
Commission. Admiral William II. G..
Bullard. Radios censor, Admiral Bull
lard said, is the simple turn of the
dial.

Although the Federal Radio Com
mission was in existence for but
three and one-half months of the fis'

of the desire to straighten out the
radio situation, expressed by Congress
in the enactment Of the radio law, is
shown in the report, which Will be
submitted to Congress this month,
dated July l and signed by the late
Rear Admiral w. II. G.. Bullard as

"When the Federal Radio Commits

field" it is pointed out in the report,
Just made public, "for after Govern

and split frequencies were used, with
only a slight separation of from one

RAIL PROGRAM ON RADIO.
Station KDKA to Be Used in Cele-
bration Exercises.

Anniversary of the first all-rail
line between tidewater at Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh, by the Penn
sylvania Railroad, is to be celebrated
next Saturday with radio program
to be broadcast from station KDKA,
at Pittsburgh, by Pennsylvania Rail-
road employees.
The Harrisburg Pittsburgh line
was completed on December 10, 1852,
and for the first time a continuous
journey by rail across the Allegheny
Mountains of Pennsylvania was pos.
sible. Much of the construction
work was of the most difficult char
acter. Completion of the line not
only made possible quicker and more
efficient movement of traffic between
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mid
die West, but stimulated the general
economic life of the country. Prior
to the advent off the Pennsylvania
Railroad, transportation across the
State between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh was provided by system
of canals and railroads, known as
the Mail Line of Public Works of
Pennsylvania"

Lends Itself Better Than

NEW YORK.-Foot ball fever,
which is adding thousands of victims
to its list each Fall, has a powerful
ally in RADIO.
While universities and colleges con-

CarIin Prefers Foot Ball.
What matters it if one announcer
pronounces it Notre Dame, another
'Notre Dam?" and a third "Notre
Domm?" The games the thing. and
although the radio foot ball fan isn't
seeing his favorite laundering herd
in action he sometimes fancies he can
hear their hoofs.
OF the three major sports broadcast,
Phillips Carlin, announcer, says he
prefers to cover foot ball game.
There is more genuine enthusiasm
and color in broadcasting a foot ball
game than I've been able 10 find in
either base ball or boxing" Carlin
says. 'The game lends itself to radio
reporting better than the other two,
because of its pace. Boxing is almost
too brisk and a base ball game seldom
has more than one or two high spots.
But in foot ball a climax usually oc-
ours every three or four minutes.
Must Fill in Time.
Sometimes an announcer is unmer-
cifully panned by the critics following
his report of a base ball or boxing
event because they charge he has
touched many irrelevant topics during
his hour or so at the microphone.
These same critics would be the first
to howl if nothing came out of the
loud speaker for several minutes
when nothing was happening on the
diamond or in the ring.
''In foot ball. however, the ball is
almost continually in play. Here you
