BY G. SHUBERT FRYE
All references are Central STANDARD Tine

EVEN though charges that the
T. Federal Radio Commission is
entangled in politics and is favoring
the National Broadcasting Company
should prove to be partially true; 1T
is to be hoped that Congress Will
see fit to make the commission a
permanent body.
Unless new law is enacted at
this session of Congress, the Radio
Commission will expire on March
IA, the date fixed by the Dill law.
In spite of the possibility OF err
rors on the part Of the radio body,
it can not be denied that much has
been accomplished by its work SO
far. There is much more to do and
for that reason the same or SIM
liar radio bill should be adopted.
"Mignon," the operate master
piece by Ambrose Thomas, will be
broadcast again by the National
Grand Opera Company, under the
direction of Cesare Sodero through
the NBC Red network. The opera,
as usual will be in tabloid form. 1t
can be received locally from WSA1,
Cincinnati; WHO, Des Moines;
WHAS, Louisville; WSM, Nashville;
or WOW, Omaha, at $50 tonight.
Meath Attic Tall" a poem by
Edith Kelley Stokely. is the inspira-
ton of program of the same title
which will be presented by the Ma
belanna Corby artists over WOR,
Newark tonight. The program pic
lures visit in fancy to that limbo
of half-forgotten things.
Where spiders spin their silver webs,
Where people seldom call,
Where dwells a very funny world.
Meath attic chimneys tall.
In fancy WOR'S audience will
visit the attic with grandmother
who reminisces over souvenirs of her
youth, of her early sweethearts and
her children. The soloists of the
hour will be accompanied by the
Beatrice Oliver Ensemble.
Presenting songs of today that
may be folk songs of tomorrow, the
holster Radio Famous Composers
hour will include selections by Carrie
Jacobs Bond, Charles Wakefield
Cadman, Ernest Ball, Irving Berlin,
George Gershwin and Sigmund
Romberg in the program broadcast
at tonight over the Columbia chain

Feature selections from the cur
rent Broadway musical shows will

STATIC UNHEARD

A simple. amasing device has been
invented by c. II. Geppert, A-340
Hewitt Bldg, Des Moines, Ia, which
filters 80 to 30 per cent Of static in
radio receiving sets. Not only that,
but when static is not bad, you can
increase your volume tremendously,
bring in more distant stations, save
30 to 40 per cent on batteries, elm
mate local stations from running in.
give your set at least one more stage
Of radio reception and greater selee-
tivity. Works on all radios; can be
attached instantly by anyone without
change to set. Mr.. Copper wants agents
and is willing to send no-cost sample.
