their business, the Department OF
Commerce has learned as a re-
suit Of an inquiry In connection
with its quarterly QUESTIONABLE on
sales and stocks.
Sets of various types, the sur
vey showed, can be bought in most
any kind of a Store-a situation
which has not changed in several
years.
Whether the sale of radio sets
in establishments primarily en-
gagged in vastly different activi-
ties is an indication that the ra-
dio retailers themselves have not
been as active as they should be
is not answered by analysis OF the
missionaries. The returns, how
ever, show that radio equipment is
being sold by such individuals
and concerns as funeral directors,
optometriStS, watch makers, pOul-
try raiSerS, farmers, patent n1edi-
cine dealers, boat builders, barber
shops, heating supply dealers and
what not.
It has been established by COM
prehenSive surveys that approx
imately 90 per cent of the eStab-
liShmentS handling radio sets arc
not engaged principally in the
sale of radio, musical instruments,
furniture or electrical equipment.
These surveys were made two
years ago, and it was believed i'll
some quarters that the advent of
the present high-grade and more
expensive set and the dininution
in the demand for parts for home
built sets had brought about o
change in the situation. That
this has not been the case is
clearly shown by the departments
inquiry.
The full story of the many di-
verse channels through which ra-
dio equipment reaches the public
will be known next year when the
census of distribution is taken.
During the course of that census
the Census Bureau will gather in
formation regarding every kind of
goods sold by practically every
retail store in the United States
and will, therefore. for the first
time, produce complete data as to
how radio and other classes of
| merchandise are distributed.

- ERHAPS the greatest radio
y surprise in many months
came Thursday afternoon

- surprise IN many HnOnLIlS
came Thursday afternoon
4 when the National Broad
casting Co., without advance an
nouncement, sent over its coast
to coast network a rebroadcaSt OF
the voice of Gloria Swanson sing
ing in the London studios Of the
British Broadcasting Co.
The rebroadcast came at the
conclusion Of the Keith
Orpheum hour and though 1t
lasted only six minutes, it was a
distinct success, despite consider
able atmospheric interference. 1t
was the third attempt in the last
year at rebroadcaSting London
programs, the first two being a
concert by a symphony orchestra.
and later the Thanksgiving serv-
ices in Westminster Abbey for the
recovery of King George v.
Miss SwanSon'S voice travelled
the same route as the two preced-
ing transatlantic rebroadcaSts.
The program left 5SW at ChelmS-
ford on short waves and was
picked up at the Radio Corpora
ton of Americas experimental
station at Riverhead, Long Island.
From there it went over land
wires to the N. B. G. studios in
New York for distribution to the
network, in which WRC was a
link.
Miss SwanSon's radio appear
ance in London was in connection
with her debut in talking motion
pictures. 'The TrespaSser," the
song she sang, was written by Ell
sic Janis.
Word comes from Baltimore that
VIDAL has increased its power to
10000 watts, which accounts for
the improvement in the reception
of this station in Washington.
VIDAL has been operating ex-
perimentally on various powers
between 5000 and 10000 watts,
and since the installation last
year of a crystal oScillator on its
5 XIV transmitter, it has been
using the equivalent of 10000
watts by increasing the effective
ness of its power. However, as a
permanent increase in wattage
called for a larger power supply
equipment. such as high voltage
transformers for plate supply. it
was not possible to make this &C
tual increase in power until the
equipment was installed.
The experimental work of the
last several months and the final
increase to 10000 watts power
were carried out without any in
terruption to service. The i'm
provement has not only brought
about a decided increase in the
stations modulated energy, but
has made its signal proportion
ately reliable.
The original power supply ap-
paratus, according to reports. has
been retained as an emergency
unit in the event of failure of any
part Of the present high power
equipment.
