AUTO FINANCING RULES
TIGHTER IN BALTIMORE
Two of Seven Firms In the Business
There Have Withdrawn in Past
Year, City Canvass Shows.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February /. - OF
seven Baltimore credit firms engaged
in automobile financing last year, two
have withdrawn from the business.
One firm has reduced the volume of
It's automobile investments to fifth
of It's former total, while two others
have halved their investments. The
remaining two have frightened their
loan restrictions.
This condition was disclosed when
a canvass OF Baltimore's automobile
financing concerns was made for opin-
ions on bill introduced in the GEN
eral Assembly which would make
credit companies resort to law pro
cesses in recovering automobiles from
payment defaulters instead of taking
the cars whenever and wherever
found as Isl done now. Six OF the
executives questioned said their firms
ARE going lightly on automobile
loans. The seventh, while admitting
that his firm had frightened it's restric-
lions, refused to be quoted.
The firms which now are out of
the automobile financing business are
the Citizens Finance Corporation of
Baltimore and the Finance Co of
America.

CHICAGO LINES CONCEDE
TROLLEY BONDS DEFAULT
More Than $171 ,OO0,O 900 in Securi-

Under Unit Operation.


CHICAGO, February More than
$171 ,000, 900 in bonds of the Chicago
Surface Lines fell due today, with de.
fault on the principal conceded by the
lines.
The twenty-year franchise expired
at midnight and although uninterrupt-
ed service was arranged bondholders
We're promised only that interest
would be paid.
A large block of the bonds due was
involved in the Chicago Railways Com
pany, the North and West Side Lines
and 1t was understood that, following
demand for interest and defaulting on
the principal. foreclosure would be
asked. The company has been in re-
ceivership several weeks. The Chi
cago City Railway Co. is the other
principal system involved.
The various lines are under single
operating company. Payments on the
principal are expected to be contin-
gent on the final settlement of the
franchise situation, which has been
complicated by various bids for the
lines and proposal to operate buses
instead of street cars. In the mean
time, up to six months, operation of
the street cars is to be continued I'M

franchise.

International Radio Treaty Assured.
The indications now are that the
| long-sought international treaty gov
erning radio will be formulated by the
international Radiotelegraph Confer.
ence without much dissent among the
| delegates. Their work will probably be
completed within three weeks and then
will carry the convention to their re-
| speCtive governments for ratification.
Seven articles of the convention
proper have already been voted favor
ably in plenary session. An agree
ment has been reached whereby the
regulations regarding public and pri-
vate uses of radio will be separately
written. The technical committee is
working out the channel ALLEGATIONS,
apparently quite satisfactorily. Miscel-
laneous items in the treaty, such as
amateur assignments and the question
of requiring the use of the most mod
ern equipment aboard vessels and at
land stations, are expected to cause lit
tie trouble.
The steady hand of Herbert Hoover,
who is president of the conference by
virtue of the fact that he heads the
delegation of the host country, is read
| lily discerned in it's steady progress,
and he has been ably aided in the ac-
| tual detail work by the former Assist
ant Secretary in his Department of
Commerce, Judge Stephen B. Davis.
who is the vice chairman Of the Amer

new "MIXING" PANEL
CO-ORDINATES MIKES
Invention, Designed for Opera
Stage, Allows Operation of
18 Microphones.

A new type mixing" panel for the
more microphones has been designed
and built by Eugene F. Grossman,
operating engineer of the National
Broadcasting Co, who s responsible
for the pickup" of many of the i'm
portant network programs of national
interest. This panel or ''transmitter
attenuator" was developed particular
ly for use in the Auditorium Theater,
Chicago, and was used for the first
time Thursday night. when the Chi
cago Civic Opera Co. broadcast the
second act of La Traviata," inaugu-
rating the new series of opera broad
casts to be heard weekly through the
NGC blue network.
Preliminary tests on the panel were
made by Mr.. Grossman at Soldiers
Field, Chicago, during the Tunney-
in reported that the click of telegraph
keys and sports writer's machines
were clearly heard above Graham Nc
Namee's announcements.
THE opera is the most difficult OF
all 'pick-ups,' Mr.. Grossman said,
due to the great size of the audi
torium stage and the fact that the
artists sing from widely separated po-
sitions on it. This makes it practi-
cally impossible to follow each per-
former microphones, therefore, this
type of pickup calls for a special sys-
tenn in order to effectively cover the
stage and orchestra pit. Enough mi
crophones must be placed so that per.
formers singing from any part of the
stage will be in proper position to one
of the tranSmitterS.
''In other broadcasts of his nature
it was n. -ssary to have m observer
in the audience, who, by means of
telephone communication, advised the
control operator back stage of the
moveIuents of the singers in order that
the nicroDhone nearest the performer
could be cut into the circuit or the
control operator himself sat in the au-
dience and made his adjustments on
bulky equipment which he held on his
lap"

OFTEN HELPS.
Changing Stations Gives Variety
to Radio Listeners.

To expect that any radio station
caa continue to entertain all of it's
listeners night after night is quite
as unreasonable as expecting any
element to continue to be source
of entertainment to exactly tne
same people week after week. Lis
teners should seek little variety for
themselves by switching stations
from time to time instead of follow
ing the same one consistently.
BY changing ones station now
and then, one sometimes finds that
the better things are being offered
at other radio studios. On the other
hand, it may be found that one has
been listening to the best without
fully appreciating it.
