RECITAL OVER WRHF
PICKED UP IN QUEBEC
Lower-Power Signals Of Radio
Hospital Fund Station Travel
Great Distances.

Despite the 150watt limitation placed
on the power of WRHF, the Wash
ington Radio Hospital Fund COM
mittee's station, its signals are travel
ing great distances even under ad-
verse atmospheric conditions, judging
from correspondence from radio listen
ers in various sections Of the country.
A great volume of the station 8
"fan mail" comes from points in Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania and New England.
Recently, however, a piano recital
broadcast by Francis G. Cole was
picked up In Quebec, Canada.
The stations most popular feature,
in the opinion of fout-of-town listeners,
is it's Sunday night sacred song serv-
ice, which Miss Betty Brewster, the
studio director. introduced as a dis
tinct novelty in radio entertainment.
Scores of letters have come from
listeners, principally in Massachusetts,
requesting that certain numbers be
played during future programs Of this
character.
Another popular feature seems to
be the woman's period, which Miss
Brewster personally conducts every
morning beginning at 10 o'clock. The
cooking recipes which the petite
studio director has given over the air
have served to furnish the dinner
menus in hundreds Of homes in the
District and elsewhere. There also
has been a great demand for the
cookbooks she mails to her listeners
The far-reaching tendencies of
WRHF's signals. according to it's en-
gineers, are due chiefly to the sta
tion's scientifically constructed an
tenna, which Is stretched IS feet above
the Annapolis Hotel. With this an
tenna an increase in power is not re-
garded as essential in order to cover
the territory the station intends pri-
marily to serve-that is, the District,
Maryland and Virginia.

TROLLEY STRIKE AvERTED
Chicago Traction Union Plans
Meeting Next Wednesday.

CHICAGO, December R.-Chi-
cagos threatening street car and ele-
waited workers strike has been pushed
back at least until after next Wednes-
day, when street car men, disgruntled
over failure of a wage arbitration
board to get down to business, will
hold a mass meeting to determine
their course Of action.
The interim will be employed, union
leaders said, in an effort to reach with
the surface lines an agreement which
would avert a strike.
The car mems effort to bring a
showdown in their wage argument is
due, they explained, to the continued
failure Of two arbiters. one each rep
resenting the men and the company.
to pick third member Of their board.

Future i'm Doubt.

The Presidents omission of COM
nent on the moot question of contln-
uing the life of the commission be-
yond its lapsing date of March Is may
he interpreted as a continuance of his
opposition to a new permanent Fed
raj body. Or it may be that he is
entirely willing to leave the matter
up to the Senate interstate commerce
committee, chairmaned by Senator
Watson of Indiana, and the House
"ommittee on marine and fisheries,
headed by Representative Wallace
White of Maine. both Of which bodies
consider all radio legislation before it
IS reported upon the floors of Con
-resS.
Secretary Hoover also opposed at
one time the creation of new perma-
nent agencies of the Government. but
many believe that the Secretary of
commerce is not very anxious to take
over the control of radio again next
spring. Especially if he becomes an
active candidate for the presidency,
Secretary Hoover will find radio bur
densome. The charge may be levied
that his influence will pervade the
radio division and that the favored
wave lengths will be assigned only to
those stations from which his own ap-
peals to the populace may emanate.

Presents VexatiOus Problem.

That Secretary Hoover, even if he
resigns from the cabinet to run the
race, would be averse to such suggeS-
ton is the firm belief of those who
know him best. Moreover. the radio
division of the Department of Com
merce is harnessed with altogether
too much routine to burden itself with
new duties. From the point of view
of Department of Commerce authori-
ties, their most logical attitude would
be to recommend extending the life of
the Federal Radio Commission
Radio has always presented a veX-
ing problem to President Coolidge. He
is himself no ardent fan, but Mrs
Coolidge is regular and enthusiastic
listener-in. President Coolidges origi-
nal appointments to the commission
were highly praised for their non-po-
litical hue and for the fact that the
body was splendidly balanced at the
outset with men representing all
branches of the art. Two deaths and
one resignation robbed the commits
sion of its balance of technical repre-
sentation and new appointments had
to be made. One is still pending-that
of the successor to the late Admiral
Bullard. chairman of the commission.

President Cooidges failure to make
mention of radio in his message to

some as a slight to this fast tgrowing
md highly important art, may also
he attributed to a willingness to let
well enough alone. The fact is now

The Availability Of applying to
the Public Utilities Commission for
higher street car fares was dis
cussed today at a meeting OF the
board Of directors Of the Capital
Traction Company.
Following the meeting John n,

announced that no decision had
been reached.
He admitted, however, that the
board had left the question IN to
him and the executive committee Of
the company. 1t Is quite possible.
he said, that an application for
higher fares win be- made within
the near future.
Mr.. Hanna presented the higher
fare question to his board along
with figures showing the company's
income for the first seven months
OF this year. These figures revealed
that the company,s income Il sttIl
on q steady decline.
The situation Is particularly acute.
however, Mr.. Hanna pointed out to
MS directors, because the company's
income Is now at the lowest point II
has reached for many years.
At one time last year, Mr.. Hanna
declared, It looked as though the au-
tomobile's invasion into the profits
OF the company had been stopped
but the relief was evidently only
temporary.
He advised the directors that
something Of a radical nature would
have to be done shortly.
