RADIO PROGRAM
Famous Stars to Broadcast
for Auto Makers on
Jan. d.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-AS the
initial step in an advertising pro-
gram in magazines and newspapers
involving a huge sum of money and
heralding the Victory, a new six
cylinder motor car, embodying en-
tirely new principles in motor con-
struction, Dodge Brothers will
broadcast, on Jan. 4, at a cost of
more than $1,000 a minute, Will
Rogers, Fred Stone, Paul Whiteman
and AL Jolson from four different
corners of the United States.
The program of this event, the
greatest mechanical achievement in
radio telephony ever attempted and
the costliest radio program thus far
given, is announced today.
Will Rogers, broadcasting from
Hollywood, will act as master of
ceremonies and will contribute some
of his inimitable comments and
opinions before introducing Paul
Whiteman, who will conduct George
Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
broadcasting from New York.
Stones to Sing
Will Rogers again will be heard
introducing Fred and Dorothy
Stone, assisted by the Criss Cross
Four (quartet). Fred Stone then
will sing the Chinese song from
"Chin Chin" and Down on the
Farm" from Zip Top" will be sung
by Fred and Dorothy Stone, with
Mary Cooke at the piano.
Then Al Jolson in two medleys,
California, Here I Come" "Rock-
a-Bye My Baby" foot foot loot
sic, Goodbye" Nanny" and
Golden Gate" -Four Walls" Back
in Your Own Back Yard" with Dave
Dreyer at the piano.
The last number on the program
will be Paul Whiteman, Among NY
Souvenirs" with vocal arrangement
by Edgar Leslie and Horatio Mich
oils, and Changes" with vocal ar
rangement by Walter Donaldson.
Is Tremendous Feat
From an engineering standpoint,
according to officials of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. the feat represents the over
coming of tremendous difficulties.
Three transcontinental circuits will
be utilized, one to serve the thirty
three broadcasting stations, one to
transmit the program of the va
rious performers to New York,
where, in turn, it will be distributed
to the broadcasting station circuit,
the third to be used for emergency
purposes in case the weather con-
ditions affect the second circuit.
Hundreds of engineers will be at
work on these three lines, both
prior to and during the broad
casting. More than 200 men operat-
ing the broadcasting stations in the
hook-up will be at work at the sta
tjons throughout the country.
Running parallel with the broad
acsting circuits will be thousands
of miles of wire lines utilizing tele-
graphic communications, to transmit
orders to the engineers at work
along the circuit.

Tail Light
BY sWEDE SWANSON

Liability insurance rates for auto
mobile owners go up sixteen per
cent and analysts over the country
are wondering why.
The insurance underwriters tell
them their reasons-higher demands
on the part of the injured, higher
standards of living, more sympa-
thetic juries.
But there are more direct reasons
even than these. They lie back of
the brains of automobile owners
themselves. They may be found hid
den in the greatly increased traffic
wherein little or no consideration
is given the pedestrian. They may
de discovered further in the high
speed ads and their reckless effect
on thoughtless auto owners.
Reasons for higher insurance
rates, which all careful drivers must
share equally with the rest, lie fur
ther in the general confusion Of
traffic ordinances throughout the
country and their resultant mishaps.
They lie in the lack of proper licens-
ing laws, so that poor drivers may
be weeded out
In short, we'll have to pay higher
insurance rates, to help guard few
reckless drivers from financial ruin,
because of the high accident rate
that has begun to arouse public SEN
timent.
The danger in coasting has been
emphasized to a point where a lot
of motorists forget that it car be
helpful in testing the efficiency of
the cars.
Coasting, for instance, will tell
whether bearings are set too tight.
A car can go along with such haldi-
cap, the driver never noticing it if
he happens to have a powerful
engine under the hood and doesn't
check up his gasoline mileage.
Tight bearings either in the en-
cine, transmission or rear axle will
waste power at an extremely high
rate. BY attaining speed of twenty
miles an hour and then coasting this
can be appreciated. If there is too
much drag anywhere in these three
units the car will stop within $50
feet.
Make sure, however that tires are
up to the recommended pressure and
that the brakes do not drag.

New Britain theatersoerS Will wei come the glad news that George ,Jossell in "The Jazz Singer" will play an engagement at Parsons thcater' Hartford, for three days. beginning Thursday. May 5, and terminating Saturday night, May [.
 Since the last act of "The Jazz singer" is the one where hearts are broken. the fact that in the other two acts have been era :ked with merriment. is likely 10 be forgotten.

But audiences are surprised and delighted To discoved that in addition to the moving story of a boys devotion, they are also treated 10 all the glee which nor mally they would expect in q musi- cal show.
 Tickets are now on sale aid as ,n- dica1ions are capacity at every per- 'ormancc. theatergoers are urged to make their reservations at once, as this will be their last opportunity to sc this great comedy drama.

British Army Would Be Entirely
 Motorized Under Plan

Washington April 30 Gpl - Even the infantry may go riding into the next war behind protective armor plate if the dream of some British army authorities come true.
 A com plctely motorized fighting force, says the Infantry Journal. in it's May issue, is to be tried out be- ginning next month by the British military establishment 10 test theory that tanks and similar equip ment have largely destroyed the ef- fectiveness Of the older units of the service. This theory has as it's chief exponent Colonel J. F. Fuller, fore most British tank authority. who will command the experimental force this summer and who declares in an article in the Infantry Journal that gas engines have revolutionized the art ot war as much as did gum powder.
 Decisive battles Of the future.

 Comment by American army tank experts on Col. Fuller's doctrines shows wide disagreement with some of his conclusions but unites in praising his hreakaway from old military conceptions.
