In the governments effort to
stimulate the use of radio more
widely in schools and other educa-
tional institutions, the special ad-
visory committee on education by
radio, organized by the interior de-
partment, is to have the active CO.
operation of the Radio Manufacture
ers' Association, the national or
ganiZation Of prominent radio pro-
ducers.
The manufacturers board of di-
rectors, at a recent meeting at Mag
ara Falls, Ontario, voted unani-
mously to cordially accept a gen.
eral invitation to the radio indus
try to assist in national campaign
making radio of wider utility in
education.
President H. B. Richmond of the
Radio Manufacturers Association
will appoint a committee to confer
with Secretary Wilbur of the
United States department of in
terror regarding measures of CO.
operation between the radio manu-
facturerS and the federal advisory
committee. The entire resources of
the Radio Manufacturers Associa-

large manufacturers will arrange a
special R. M. A. program, to be con-
tributed and broadcast weekly,
similar to the successful series of
nearly score of R. M. A. programs
which were broadcast last spring.

COLUMBIA HEAD is
ADVERTISING MAN

1t seems a far cry from tobacco
to radio, but it will not be difficult
to trace back the working of Paley's
mind on this subject. AS advertis-
ing head of the Congress Cigar
Company he had interested himself
in every angle of this field, and had
decided that radio broadcasting as
an advertising medium held untold
possibilities.
Among its sponsored hours are
some of the best known features
Of the air, such as the Old Gold
Paul Whiteman hour; Majestic
Theater of the Air, De Forest,
holster Radio, True Story, La
Palma; Sonatron, Coco Couriers,
True Detective Mysteries, Doc West,
Nickle Cinco-Patters, Temple hour.
And on it's sustaining programs
some of the best known features of
the air are: Hank Simmons Show
Boat, United States Navy band,
Voice of Columbia, United States
Marine band; National Radio
Forum, symphonic hour, Around
the Samovar, Arabesque, In

PIANO DUETS HAVE
BEEN WORKED OVER
Art Is Injected Into Old Time
Musical Custom.

Piano duets-which once formed
such fine opportunity for two
people to sit close together on the
same piano bench-have been
reyolutionized in these later days
of entertainment by the provision
of personal piano for each half
of the duet. Phil Gilman and Vic
tor Arden, the pianomaniacs of
the old Roxy radio gang, who are
to be guest artists of the General
Motors Family Party, with Buick
host, over the NBC at 7:30 p. m.
Monday are largely responsible for
the change.
Providing two pianos is reported
to have made dueting more of an art
than it ever was before. Also it is
said to give each of the artists an
opportunity to do his stuff without
the danger of getting his hands
mixed up with those of his COM
panion-aS was the case in the old
days. 1t gives each artist a chance
at the whole piano-and a chance
to demonstrate how careful timing
and expert manipulation of the kers
may be made to do quite a number
of things the front parlor duets OF.
tie old square piano never intended
should be done.

POOR RECEPTION
SOMETIMES HAD
IN APARTMENTS
Building Itself Is Found to
Be Chief Cause of
Trouble.

Apartment house radio listeners
during the past few months have
sent in complaints that theeir radio
receivers we're slowly going bad, or
that they were only getting one or
two stations with enough volume to
be satisfactory. Most of the COM
plants have laid the blame to inter-
ference and a suggestion that per-
haps the receiver itself was to
blame.
Most of the trouble in apartment
house installations originates in the
building itself has been the finding
of the Times Radio Interference
department. In most of the buildings
a considerable amount of .Stel has
been used in the construction. This
forms a shield around the radio set.
keeping it from picking up the
broadcast programs it would get IL
it we're on the outside.
Carries Interference
Another feature of this steel con-
Struction is that it carries to all
parts of the building any inter-
! ference that originates there, from
motors, electric appliances, etc. The
other feature is that everyone in an
apartment building uses the same
ground, the, cold water pipe, and in
this way interference is transmitted
from one apartment to another.
Another cause is the common no
volt supply line used by all residents
in the same building. The meters
and individual apartment supply
lines center at a common junction
point and whatever interference
comes in from the outside, or from
one of the individual line, is i'm
mediately passed on to all the
others.
Filter Is Remedy
One remedy for such situation
as this is to install a line filter, a
device contracted to take out un~
wanted noises from the power line,
at the radio set. Individual installa-
lions are recommended. Two such
devices recently tested out by the
Times radio department are Filter
volt, and lobe Filterette.

Careful Men

While all National Broadcast
ing Company announcers must
be careful to speak the
language precisely and clearly.
the announcerS who read the
daily stock market report over
the NBC system, must be more
than careful.
Clear, easily understood pro-
nunciation is almost a mania
with them. Before they go on
the air with the report they
often read it over several times
to be familiar with the various
terms. The fact that a mis-
take might cause some listener
an actual loss, is the reason for
the super carefulnesS.

RADIO VOICE is
AUTHORITY ON
IRISH BALLADS
Colin 0'More Is Recognized
for knowledge of Folk
Songs.

Colin O'More, one of the best
known of radios singing voices and
one of the largest recipients Of let
ters from young women who find
his singing romantic" is by way
of being foremost authority on
French and Irish folk songs in radio.
O'More, who has been a micro
phone performer for several years,
and who is now leading man OF
Philco theater memories, broadcast
weekly over the National Broadcast
ing Company system, and mem
Der of the New Workers quartet, an
NBC organization, knows the folk
music of the two counties so thor
oughly that there is hardly a song
that he can not readily identify.
OMore studied in Paris four years
under the patronage of an American
millionaire. During all of those
wears of work he haunted the ma
tional music libraries of France.
Thus his studies included more than
voice culture.
Visits Ireland
Later he visited the island Of his
ancestors, for O'More is thoroughly
Irish despite the fact that his birth
place was Heber Springs, in the
Arkansas Ozarks. There O'More
completed an education in Irish folk
music that he began as a child with
his parents as teachers. He lived
in Dublin and Cork for several years.
But Paris and Ireland were not
the lone theaters of O'More's sue
cesSes before he returned to his
native land. In London he gave a
series of concerts under the pat
ronage of the great Melba. These
led to private recitalS in the homes
of EnglandS bluebloodS.
O'More began his musical career
in tiny motion picture theater in
the Arkansas OZarkS. AS a child
he studied the piano and when he
was sixteen years old he obtained a
job hammering the worries for the
motion pictures.
In those days the picture mag
mates flashed verses of popular songs
on the screen and gave the audi
ence the pleasure of singing with
the songster. One week the song
was: Love Me and the World Is
Mine" The paid singer couldn't hit
the high G which was one of the
prominent features of the song.
OMore volunteered and performed
with such success that he was pro-
noted to singer and his pay raised
to So a week.
Joins Opera Company
Later he joined an itinerant
opera company which disbar11ed in
Kentucky when the treasurer dis
appeared with the funds. O,More
fell in with Kentuckian who had
daughter and son studying in the
College of Music in Cincinnati.
O'More went there and it was there
that the millionaire heard his voice
and put up the money for his ex-
tenSive European training.
O'Mores specially is the singing
Of the ultra modern songs. Leopold
Stokowski. one of the foremost ex-
ponentS of the modern school, is
one of his chief admirers. This fall
at Carnegie hall, ONIore is to have
the leading role in three modern
French operas. Stokowski will WELD
the baton.
O'More'S chief diversion away from
the microphone is cooking, and ne
claims ability to prepare food OF the
most tempting variety with 10 effort
at all. He also plays golf.

CROSLEY MAKES
EXTENSIVE Line
Wood and Metal Included in
New Cabinets.

Departing from their usual Gus
tom of manufacturing only radio re-
ceivers housed in metal cabinets and
employing straight heater tube type
neutradyne circuits, the Crosley
Radio Corporation has announced
a line for 1880 including models in
wooden consoles, art metal cabinets,
and employing both heater type and
screen grid tube type radio fire.
quency amplification.
Heading the new CroSley list is the
Crosley 80 receiver, a console model
of walnut veneer designed by artists
and powered by master engineers.
This model comes with either one
of two chassis, one designed as 62-S,
being an eight-tube set employing
eight tubes, three of which are ga
screen grid, and includes a 280-type
rectifer tube. The 82-H receiver
housed in the same attractive cabi-
net uses four heater tube types, am
plifier tubes and a $50 rectifier,
making eight in all. Both, of course,
are for A. c. operation. For those
homes and offices equipped with dl-
rect current, the same console hous-
ing chassis is shown as the .83.
Features of 82-S
The chassis. which is the heart OF
the 82-S model, is the CroSley Uni
trad, the screen grid receiving unit
which was the sensation of the Chi
cago R. NJ. A. trade show, an eight
tube set that may be installed in any
console. In addition to being used
in the 92-S, this unit is also installed
in the CroSley AIS, the receiver OF
airplane delivery note, and the AIS.
The tubes required are three 224 type
screen grid, two 227 type heaters and
two 245 simplifying tubes used in a
push-pull hookup. The rectltler Is
the $50 type tube.
The cabinet housing the 40-S chaS-
sis and designated the Ais is a
metal case that combines the essen
tials of beauty and radio perform
ance. It is finished in buried walnut
and decorated in white metal.
An added feature in the 1880 line
is the adaptability of all metal cases
to legs. These models may be used
on tables or stands if desired or, in a
few minutes with use of a screw
driver, be converted into models
standing on their own legs.
Besides the AIS with the screen
grid circuit, this same metal case
model is furnished equipped with
four heater type tubes, ampliflers
and go rectifier and. so set up, is
known as the 41-H. The same cab
met housing an eight-tube d. C.
chassis is known as the 81.
Remarkable Value in 81
The Junior metal case model, re-
placing the Gembox of 1929 fame,
as the lowest price efficient A. c.
receiver on the market, is the Cros-
lev 81. It is panelled in buried wal
nut finished and decorated in whita
metal. Constructed with infinite
care and painstaking attention to
the n1inutest detail. the 81 IS, ac-
cording to Cros1ev engineers, the
most remarkable value in radio his
torv.
The mass production methods
long practiced in the Croslev fac
tories and which have enabled
Croslev to lead in the low-uriced
field. have made POSSIBLE the values
found in the 81. It Is a seven-tuhe

CARLIN SAID TO BE
NBC STRONG MAN

Phillips Carlin, NBC announcer
and assistant eastern program di-

strong man. but during recent
program he performed a feat Of
strength that had the other per-
formers gaping.
One of the singers, woman,
missed her cue to go to the mike.
Carlin crossed the studio. picked up
the chair with the woman in it, and
carried both to the microphone.

NEW PROGRAM WILL
OPEN NEXT SATURDAY,
Manhattan Symphony Orchestra to
Be Weekly Feature.

Beginning Saturday evening, Oct.
5, the Gulbransen company of Chi
cago will sponsor what promises to
be one of the most noteworthy series
of radio broadcasts on the air at
the present time.
A. c.. Gulbransen, president of the
company, has signed a
contract with the Columbia broad
casting system for a half hour on
the air, with Henry Hadley, con-
ductor of the Manhattan symphony
Orchestra in New York City, en-
gagged to present the programs with
a group of musicians known as the
Gulbransen symphony orchestra.
This fact in itself assures the radio
audience and music lovers through
out the country programs OF the
highest quality, and musical treats
such as are seldom heard on the
air.

There really is nothing extravagant
about having new evening wrap every
year or two. You will find very at
tractive ones in many Of the stores at
amazingly reasonable prices, and the
task of making persentable evening
wrap is certainly a much less difficult
one than that Of making daytime coat.
There are lovely new evening wraps
made of lame lined with velvet with
luxurious fur collars. These, of course,
are expensive. A considerable saving
may be achieved II you use cotton vel-
veteen instead Of velvet and If you
make shirred crushed collar take the
place Of fur.

make the ruffle for veStee or blouse to

it will be forwarded to you.

Washington History
CT DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 26, 1s61.-The provost mar
shall announced today that it has been
determined to suppress the evil Of
bar rooms In Washington kept open
after $50 pm. Finding that the order
for closing at that time Is constantly
being evaded by hotels of different
grades, 1t has become necessary to take
measures to insure its observance.
Hereafter. therefore, the proprietorS
of all such establishments as are not
conducted with due observance of the
order will be arrested and held In
custody without respect of persons.
This order is not designed to prevent
the keepers of eating houses from fur
nishing. food to their patrons after the
hour OF $3.50 pm. but simply to close
bar rooms effectually.
On all sides business men in this
city are complaining of being swindled
by individual volunteer officers of u
certain class. They say that an undue
number OF such officers is in the habit
Of running up bills without making
any provision whatever for their nquida-
ton.
AS the military law now stands It
provides no method of redress for the
victims Of such swindles. The class of
"adventurer" officers who resort to such
practices is almost to a man without
any property, except their pay, which
cannot be reached. The evil can be
stopped by congressional legislation, or
dering their pay. or due portion or
1t, to be devoted to the payment of
their debts. This, it is believed, will
either rid the service of such men or
prevent their swindling operations Ill
the future.
A schooner has come UP to the city
wharves from the lower Potomac River
with four holes in her mainsail, mace
by shots from Confederate batteries OH
the Virginia shore. No other impor-
tant news from the lower river was
received today.
Gen. Hooker has tried the range
of the 10-pound Parrot rifled guns RS
Gently placed In battery with his d.
vision. The mark taken was the Con-
feclerate batteries on the Virginia side
Of the river about 1000 yards of. The
practice" is reported to have been
everything that could be wished by the
Union forces.
Apparently every shell fell Just where
1t was aimed. At least that is the
statement Of the Union officers who
fired the guns. They say also that
every shell burst exactly as intended
and that the Confederates Seemed TO
be greatly astonished." No report from
the Confederate side upon the result
of this firing is available here yet. The
Union officers say one of the Confeo-
crate guns was dismounted by the
firing.
