WKBF Gets Wave Length

The Indianapolis radio broad
casting tangle has been Strengthened
out by the Federal Radio Commits
sion so that both WFBM and WKBF
may be on the air full time, but on
different wave lengths. according
to a dispatch from The Times
Washington Bureau today.
The commission, in an order
effective Oct. IS, gave to WFBM, the
station of the indianapolis Power
and Light Company the wave length
of 1000 kilocycles CTS meters) which
1t originally requested and permis-
sion to increase it's power TO 1000
watts from the present $50 rating
whenever the sending station is
moved outside the business district.
WKBF Power at ESQ Watts
The commission several weeks ago
ordered WKBF, station of Noble
Watson at the Hoosier Athletic Club,
and WFBM to divide time upon a
1190 wave length.
The new order provides that
WKBF gets the 1190 wave length for
its own, but its power remains at $50
watts. WKBF had sought power
equal that of WFBM.
In order to clear the 1890 wave
length for WFBM full time the COM
mission shifted station WORD Of
Batavia, ILL.,, to 720 kilocycles, pro-
viding that WORD divide time with
WHO, which also has 720.
Building New Station
Station WTAS of Chicago still re-
mains upon the 1890 wave length,
but the radio commission ordered
that it use it only at such times as
WFBM does not desire to operate.
M. K. Foxworthy, commercial
manager of the Indianapolis Power
and Light Company, said:
CONSTRUCTION of the new station
of WFBM, which will be located
eight miles out of the city, is well
under way. When the new station is
placed in operation in the very near
future the State and city will be
better and more consistently served
in matters of necessity, interest and
convenience.

southern beauty, and her pilot had

planes of the seas can swallow those
who try to follow them.
1t was believed from the meager
messages that the plane came down
before 8 a. m. New York time). The
message to lie Bourget was timed
at 10 a. m. New York time), but
it was not certain that it was sent
from the ship al that time.
If Miss Elder was in the air until
8 q. m, New York time, today, how
ever, and her plane was able to aver
age the 100 miles an hour which was
it's cruising speed, she covered $500
miles over water.
If unfavorable winds, as is prob
able, cut down the speed to 80 miles
an hour, the distance would be 3,510
miles.
Even had the speed been reduced
to 80 miles, the distance would have
been 3,100 miles, farther than any
American girl and few American
men have ever flown before.
Destination Unknown
Where Miss Elder will be taken by
the Barendrecht remained uncertain
this afternoon. The liner Olympic
apparently is the nearest large
steamship to the position of the
tanker, but it probably is many miles
away. Miss Elder and her pilot may
be transferred to some other vessel,
they may be taken to the British
Isles or TIE European mainland,
carried into the Azores, or brought
across the Atlantic to this country.
The destination of the Barren
drecht is believed to be an American
Gulf port.

attempt an overseas fight and Mile.
Dillenz, Viennese actress, is about to
make an attempt. OF the three who
already have essayed to fly, she is
the only one who survived the ad-
venture.

seeing the first woman pilot to at

Fears began to be voiced that the
American Girl had met the fate Of

There was furry of excitement
at LIE Bourget Field at $50 a. m,
when the airdrome wireless picked

the message may have been the
work of practical Joker.
Weather Was Bad

with a fog. slighC drizzle and a
moderate easterly wind. But by
a. m. the weather was improv-

had increased from one and a half

ference of seven hours If all went
well with the American Girl.

Workers shortly before midnight
finished an iron and concrete fence
around the field to hold back the
crowds on the arrival of the Amer

Among the crowd at the field was
