SAN DIEGO, Calf. P.-A 21-year-
old college student. foot ball player,

his forbears for three generations.
Joseph Louis Tucker of Mobile, Ala,

University of the South at SeWanee,

, newspaper editor. Newspaper veterans
will remember that the old newspaper
shop. and many of those of the present
| dav. was always knee deep in news
naners and ever, other imaginable
kind of litter and disorder. My friend
the editor has editorial rooms as I'M
maculately kept as q New England
schoolroom. There is never so much
as a burnt match on the floor n IN
stead of believing for a boy, the re-
porter or desk man taps a soft toned
bell. There are nice Grapes on the
windows and some fine prints on the
walls. Furniture and appointments are
all simple and beautiful. The stan,
consciously or unconSc1ously, nVes up
to this environment and there is no
careleSsneSS in dress.
II have studied this problem care
fully" said the editor, and l tnat
more and better work is done under
these conditions than in the old dirty,
noisy newspaper rooms. There is IN
fnitelv less waste of time and confusion
and I am convinced that in this calm,
orderly environment better stories are
written. While most Newspaper men are
not, in the real sense, artists, there IS
an important creative element IN their
work and the general problem Is some
what the same as that of a broadcast
ing studio"
"Old Ideas" Passing.
1t appears to me that the old b.
hemian ideas, which cast writer's n
artists of all kinds in a setting OF con-
fusion and disorder, is passing. Radio,
in providing every possible detail OF
convenience and in beauty for It's
studios. came on at about h time
when new ideas were beginning TO TAKE
hold. and it missed the era OF uproar
and u~ntidiness through which h news
per have passed, or are passing
The fact that it has come so quickly
in radio may be partly due to the 1act
hat women have had a hand in 1t, but
I rather think it would have come any
wav. Business enterprise OF all KINDS
is taking up the slack in ofhceS ana
factories and higher standards OF ORDER
illness. dress and behavior are pe1ng
maintained. ~.
Radio artists, of course, are just like
all other normal human beings. When
they are not disturbed by critical, cIlai-
longing or hostile eyes peering at them
Through the microphone. Around a
large broadcasting studio there is easy
and pleasant social intercourse-qu1te
unlike the traditional interminglings OF
Montmartre or Greenwich Village-but
somehow, artistic performance seems to
require the maintenance of definite
standards.
Sustained Mood Essential.
One notes that a good actor, perhaps
playing a serious or tragic role, does
not step out of the part when he takes
a curtain call. The integrity OF the
performance would somehow be lessened
by any sudden letdown. A radio per-
formance must. in somewhat the same
way, be carried through from beginning
to end. There must be a sustained
mood, enhanced by every possible de-
tail Of dress and environment. Fol this
reason, a great broadcasting studio is a
producing center in the same as
a theater and the necessity of spacious
ness, color, order and beauty is obvious.

TIME IS CUT
FOR SENDING PHOTOS
Less Than Half Minute Now Re-
quired to Send Pictures by
Air or Wire.

NEW YORK R.-LesS than half a
minute now is required to trans
NIT photographs by radio or wire.
Speed and success have been COM
bined in the development of apparatus
for the transmission of pictures that
are good duplicates of the originals.
Time required to send a S by 8 inch
photograph has been reduced from four
and five minutes to 48 seconds.
Equipment used in this process and
developed under the direction of DR..
vladimir K. Zworykin of the Westing-
house research laboratories was de-
Scribed in a paper read before the In
stitute of Radio Engineers. In some of
the experimental transmissions pic
lures were sent over the short wave
companion station of KDKA, Pitts
burgh, and picked up with ease.
In sending a. picture, an ordinary
photograph or manuscript is placed on a
cylinder moving under a beam CT light.
This is reflected at an angle. by mir
rors to a photoelectric cell of the mag
nesium-caseium type, filled with argon.
Converted into electric current, the
signal is ampliied by a three-stage
