The Control Room

The control room is the heart and
lungs OF the broadcastlng stations
hookup The wire which leads from
this room to the transmitter of WEAF
and WIZ, which is thirty miles away.
in addition, there are wires Leading
out to other associated stations. The
most important thing is to keep two
programs on the air at the same
time as smoothly as possible. The
electric control panel is the only ri
val of the magic of Aladdin's lamp.
This panel is marked with names like
Yankee Stadium, Hotel Pennsyiva-
mia, Capitol Theater, and at the end
of the panel are names Of foreign
countries, ouch as Germany, Eng
land, Holland and France, which are
received on short wave. The chief
engineer controls this 33,000-mile
hookup with his finger tips with
blinking colored lights.
The Studio
There are waiting rooms In va
fious parts of the studio Tor the per-
formers who wait their turn to go
before the microphone. Mnen Jne
mcrophone is ready Tor broadcastlng
red light is turned on, wnicn IS
signal that any sound made will be
heard over the air. The program is
then started and at the conclusion
the light is switched to a walClng
performer in another studio, who be-
gins to do his act, and so on through
an entire broadcasting program.
While an artist is performing before
the microphone, the light in the stu
dio grows dim and changes to an
otsier color. These light FOLLOW the
mood of the music and add the much
needed atmosphere for an artist who
wants something to take the place
of the missing audience. AS the
program comes to close, the an
nouncer lifts his hand asa warning
for silence and the closing announce
ments are made. The program en-
gineerin an adjoining room lifts a
telephone connecting his monitor con-
troll with the main switchboard and
the announcements are made; he
drops the switch and the lights 60
out. "Take it easy" says the engi-
neer inside and distant voice comes
from the control room "okay." Then
the light blinks up for a program
from another part of the country, or
the world.
Next week we shall tell how pro-
grams are received from England
and broadcast in this country over a
network.

jim CROW LAWS FELT AND
OBEYED THROUGHOUT SOUTH

Then it is believed that the term
was formerly applied to renegade
or turncoat.
The law is observed almost un-
consciously south of the Mason
Dixon line by each race. No regu-
lations govern the travel of negroes
on southern Pullman cars officials
of the company say. There is no
demand for Pullmans on the part
of southern negroes they add.
The officials are also non-com-
initial on the subject of negroes
travelling into the south after pur-
chasing Pullman tickets in other
sections, saying, eve abide by state
laws, and if negroes are. forbidden
to ride in Pulllnans with white peo-
pie in certain states we accept it."
Numerous test cases have been
made of The laws. The United States
supreme court held in a kentucky
hearing that such law was not an
unconstitutional burden on inter
state commerce. The matter has
largely been left to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
BUS travel, a new mode O. con-
veyancc, brought the problem into
only dim spotlight. I'VE comply
With state laws" officers of bus
companis say. Although we do not
seek colored patronage in the south,
we cary people of both races. Co.
lored passengers are expected to sit
at the rear of all buses. In case of
scarcity of room, white passengers
are taken.

ATLANTA, June % CUP0-Some-
times it is merely an invisible line.
In other instances it takes the form
of a sign, "Colored passengers seat
from rear. On the railroad it con-
sists of a separate coach. But
throughout the southern states,
where white and negro travellers are
given special accommodations on
trains, buses and street cars, the
force of the Jim Grow" laws are
felt and obeyed.
The term, Jim Crow" is applied
to all laws for race segration on
public carriers, but each state has
it's own method of handling the mat
ter. Persons Of African descent must
ride apart from white people in the
trains of Tennessee, Florida, Missis-
sippi, Texas, Arkansas, Georgia,
Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama,
South and North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland and Oklahoma.
In Georgia and Oklahoma segre-
cation laws apply specifically to
street cars also. Special statutes, Sc
parate from those applying to trains,
are in force in Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas and Virginia.
South Carolina and Alabama have
no laws requiring race separation
on street cars, but municipal laws
deal with the subject of the street
railway companies demand that Sc
paration of races must be maintain
ed. Kentucky, Missouri and Mary
land do not require the observance
of Jim Crow laws on street rail-
ways.
How the term "Jim Grow" origi-
mated is uncertain. There is a story
of a coal-black negro, called Jim
Grow, who served as slave at a
South Carolina hotel, and later went
to England to achieve prominence.
It is thought that this mans name
might have been used as deSig-
nation for the laws.
T. D. Rice, first of the negro i'm
personators on the stage of a Minis
trel show, played the part of Jim
Crow in Washington in the 1905.

~ LANNING meals for a large
group of persons, possibly
hundred or more, seems
difficult to most of US, for it
means thinking in much greater
quantities than those to which we
are accustomed. Yet church and
community suppers require that
someone be able to plan menus
and estimate carefully the guam
tity of food needed.
Since these suppers usually are
for the purpose of raising money,
they should be as simple and in
expensive as possible, while fur
nishing ample quantities of nour-
ishing and appetizing food Be-
low will be found two carefully
planned menus, with complete
recipes and the approximate guam
titles of food required to serve
$50 people. If you will slip these
, suggestions into your cook book
or recipe file, you may find them
exceedingly helpful when you are
called to serve on the entertain
ment committee:
