Hollywood, Cal, Nov. ]. P-Are there really any 100-per-cent movie fans who conscientiously see all the new pictures?
 Statisticians in the Will Hays of flee here doubt 1t, but estimate that one person could see all the new pictures made in America by devot- ing approximately 2,oo0 hours a year to the job. That is about six hours a day for S33 days On the other 32 days of the year the perfect fan could see some of the new for eign pictures.
 The estimate Is based on an average yearly output of 2,500 American pictures, about 700 of which are features and the others of various lengths.

ENGINEER CLAIMS
 HOWL ELIMINATOR
Ii True, It Will Be Great Boon
 to Radio Sets

Washington. Nov. R-Elimina- tion of the howl of 5,000-watt sta ton. only 500 miles away on the same channel. 1.060 kllocycles, has been reported to the federal radio commission. Franklin NJ. Doolittle. president of tho company that oper- ates Station WDRC at New Haven, describes an experiment which. he says, practically eliminated a bad heterodyne from Station WAIU at Columbus, Ohio.
 MT. Doolittle, formerly professor Of radio at Yale. said; T rented a circuit from the telephone company between my home and the trans hitting plant at Beacon Hill, the two points being about five miles apart. The output Of the receiving set Is connected through a step down transformer to the line. At the station end the line Is connect ed to the input of two stage am- phfer which compensates for the line loss. As the circuit Is entirely of cable the quality Is decidedly bass. The line could Of course be equalized but this Is not necessary for the purpose, in fact, 1t is rather desirable to emphasize the bass.
 This arrangement allows the oper- ator at the station to hear the pro- gram as 1t is being received five miles distant and if a heterodyne howl is present from Columbus, he then adjusts until zero beat is ob- tained. This arrangement does not necessitate passing radio frequencies over the circuit but employs the audio output of the receiver. Our transmitter is of the master oscilla- tor type and we employ a crystal for checking frequency.
 We have had such satisfactory results with this method of reduc- ing interference. I am going to try an automatic control which will start to function as soon as the heterodyne appears. The general plan of the scheme is to control our transmitter with our crystal and to vary the frequency of the crystal by variation in temperature which is controlled from the receiving set at my home"
