spice up the ether entertainment.
We have had a parachute jumper
describe his sensations as he stood bal
anced on q g1rder at the top of the
newest skyscraper. We have also to
find means for allowing o transatlantic
flyer to describe his progress while in
midocean, but imagine the engineers
will be able to TX US up on that before
too many months. 1t might also be q
good stunt, If there were some way Of
handling 1t, to have a diver walk out
into New York harbor to give us a
fish-eye view of the events of the day
In maritime circles. But these stunts
are only the hors d'oeuvres of the
broadcasters' schedules. They are q
lot of fun for those taking part, as well
as for the listeners, and maybe some
day the little girl in the South may
be able to hear q Zeppelin crashed
for the special benefit of the radio
audience, just as the movie folks some
times smash things up for the films.
Daytime programs have just as many
interesting people taking part in them
as the evening broadcasts, and one of
the most interesting of them all is
Arthur Bagley, who has just celebrated
his fifth anniversary broadcasting the
morning setting-up exercises. Bagley
talks so much before the microphone
LLlaG alTI1OSI I'll his COENcESdOIOLl lOI d
couple of hours afterward Is in mono
syllables. He doesn't really become
laxative again until after luncheon.
His voice sounds so much different over
the telephone that he has often been
accused of employing double to take
all his calls for him.
Bagley has to make sure that he will
always be at his microphone in plenty
of time for his first broadcast, at GAS
in the morning. Just to make sure he
won't miss, the following daily routine
has been set up: The hotel clerk calls
his room at 5:45. At $50 an especially
loud alarm clock rings, and two more
follow at 5-minute intervals. To make
sure he hasn't thrown shoes at all three
clocks, the hotel clerk calls again at
sos. Since he is about the only early
riser at his hotel, it is possible to have
an elevator waiting for him at his floor
every morning, and another is waiting
to take him up to the studio in the
Metropolitan Tower. In spite Of his
early hours there is one thing that takes
the Joy out of life for him, and that is
to have someone write in asking If he
isn't really taking his ease on couch

A. No, but the Canadian Pacific Rail.
way has just started two new series,
produced in the studios of CKGW, in
Toronto, and broadcast throughout the
United States. One series will present
ballad operas and the other will fea-
ture a dance orchestra. They will
benefit Canada, think, as much as
they will the railroad. consider these
broadcasts highly significant, and I am
especially glad that the entertainment
is coming from the other side Of the
border. Even at this early date the
programs are winning good deal of
applause in this country.
@. Is it possible to obtain copies of
plays given over the radio, so that they
can be put on for local entertain
ment?-Mrs. D. H. B., Baltimore. Md
A. In some cases, yes, but since the
copyright law does not adequately cover
radio scripts most of the stations and
broadcasting companies are reluctant to
issue such permission for fear that by
so doing they would be releasing all
rights to the material. Aside from the
fact that there are a number Of COM
plicated legal problems involved, there
is also very strong feeling that, since
most of the plays were written especial
ly for the microphone, it would take an
expert to put them in shape for visual
presentation. If there are any particu-
lar shows you have in mind you might
write the station through which you
heard them to find out If 1t is possible
to obtain copies. But I should advise
you that usually 1t isn't.
@. Is there any one on the air who
can talk faster than Floyd Gibbons?-
j. Beronine, New Haven, Conn.
A. can't think of any, unless IT
may be Jack Filman, who does hockey

O. What has become of Mary Nc
Coy? Has she quit broadcasting?-
L. T. F., Columbus, Ohio.
A. Miss Mccoy has gone to Chicago
to appear In "A Wonderful Night"
She was playing in this operetta during
the New York run, and the Chicago
production made it necessary to drop
her work in New York for a time. It
is possible she may appear in programs
from the Chicago studios.
@. Where can reach Obed Pickard
by mail?-E. v. Phelps, Nashville, Tenn
A. Dad and all the family are in
Chicago. You may reach him by adj
dressing the National Broadcasting Co.,
Chicago. Mail addressed to any of the
stations through which the Pickards are
heard also will reach him eventually.
Q. How many male quartets are there
in programs from New York?-S. M,
Sacramento, Calf.
A. I'm not sure just what you mean,
but II you want to know how many diff
ferent male quartets there are, I should
say about Dozen Offhand I can think
of the Revelers, the Rollickers, the Ma
tional Cavaliers, the Armchair Quartet

years ago, when did something Of the
Sort We had very complicated SWITCH

mistake I opened the mike instead OF
closing it for bit Of conversation In

other, half dozen members of the
studio staff hurried to me AMI wh1S-

answered, Yes, I know It," all the

lost my temper and exclaimed, ''Lluf-
frio, get away from here or I'll break
your neck, and just at that particular
moment had thrown the last switch
necessary to put me back on the air
again. The next day I got flood OF
letters and wires much like those Jolly
Bill received-except that there weren't
quite so many listeners In those days to
ask why I wanted to assault Llufrio.
Another of the familiar voices OF
radio is stilled. 1t was only last Sum-
mer that John B. Daniel, q veteran o.
the microphone at %, died suddenly
Now 1t Is william S. Lynch, who, at the
age Of %, had spent six years in broad
casting. He had become well known
as an announcer, in the last few months
specializing in unusual and timely
broadcasts. Recently he had been made
sponsored program representative OF
the National Broadcasting Co., a job of
so much responsibility that ordinarily
1t would have been assigned to a much
older man than Bill Lynch.
Lynch entered radio as an announce
at WAIT, in Jersey City, and later was
at WRNY, New York, and WOR, New
ark, where he became assistant program
director before he joined the N. B. C
His first assignment was to the Wash
ington studios, and while he was ther.
he introduced President Coolidge to the
radio audience II times. Because of
his familiarity with the city he was
assigned, at the time of the broadcast

Of President Hoover's Inauguration, tc
fly over washington In q plane and cal
the roll of the announcers stationed al
strategic points beneath him.
From that time on Lynch became
known as "the flying announcer" He
broadcast from a plane several times
afterward, and among his other notable
jobs were the motor boat races at
Miami, the recent Mardi Gras broad
cast from New orleans and the arrival
of the Graf Zeppelin at Lakehurst at
the end of its around-the world flight
On that occasion he had the mike In
the hangar as the great ship was being
pulled into its berth, and he did one OF
the finest descriptive jobs have ever
heard.
We are going to miss Bill Lynch q
great deal. He was a fine fellow per-
sonally, the kind that never lets the
station or his co-workers down. You
could count on him to stick, to be al
ways up to snuff, even when one had
to wait all night long for broadcast
to come of, as on the Graf Zeppelin
job. Lynch was a flne-looking man.
too. About 6 feet tall, he had black
hair, slightly curly; a complexion tinged
with olive and features that would have
graced a collar ad, except that he was
much more virile in appearance. He
leaves a young widow and 2-year-old
son.
This is a strenuous world in which
we live. People think nothing of hop
ping of for the ends of the earth in
airplanes, and there Is no place on the
globe from which, by virtue of short
wave radio. you can't communicate
with any other spot In one-seventh of a
second or less. Fast steamships make
the crossing of the Atlantic a mere
pleasure jaunt. Everything Is bigger
md better, and even our crimes are as
we'll organized as they are startling.
The modern fever has even attacked
the very much younger generation, 1t
seems. Madge Tucker, who directs a
children's program called 1.-THE Lady
Next Door," frequently asks her young
listeners to suggest things they'd like to
Experience during the imaginary radio
ourneys that make up the program.
rhe other day she had letter from a
mall girl in the South, who wrote: II
want to go up in Zeppelin and crash"
At that, 1t seems as If the people who
think up programs that are out of the
ordinary will have to sweat their brains
to keep on finding something new to

7 SUPPOSE everybody knows that
broadcaSttng operates on q split
second basis. That is, 1t is sup
Il posed to, but when a program gets
of the air right on the second
there is cause for rejoicing throughout
gram as you will, cut a chorus here
and drop a couple of lines there, it
never comes out on the air just the
same length as 1t was in rehearsal.
Nobody fuses much about a differ
ence Of 10 seconds, but O broadcast
that comes to an end exactly on the
second Is as rare as warts on an eel
But the other morning Bill Steinke, who
is the Bill Of jolly Bill and Jane
achieved. the Enthusiastically told
the whole country about it. AS soon
as he and little Jane-really Muriel
Harbater, about 8 years old-had I'm
ished the program, Bill dashed into the
control booth to hear Pat Kellys closing
announcement. AS Kelly finished the
last word, right on the second, the
studio engineer, one eye on the electric
clock above his dials and switches, re-
marked: Right on the nose, Bill"
jolly Bill, knowing that Jane would be
just as glad to know they had come out
exactly even, dashed into the studio to
tell her. He flung the door open and
yelled, "Wow, right on the noseT And
just at that moment he caught the hos
tile eye of Kelly, who had thrown the
mike switch open again to announce the
call letters of the local station.
All day long letters and kilograms
came piling into the studios to ask who
had been fighting and who had been
hit on the nose. Bill had been worried
when he learned that his tndiscretion
had to appear in the program log, but
when he realized that every listener
who had been tuned in, and they hap
pened to include that morning a num-
Der of officials, had heard him shout,
he admitted that such a little matter
as an entry in the log didn't make
much difference.
It reminded me Of the time, several

while he Is putting his listeners through
their daily broadcasts.
AS q matter of fact, when he isn't
actually going through the exercises he
describes he is getting much more ex-
ercise working the sound effects that
go with the program. He believes that
menu of hay, oats and water Is the
ideal diet, but since 1t doesn't appeal
to him personally he has never recon-
mended it to the members Of his health
classes. Bagley's own breakfast always
consists of fruit, cereal and chocolate.
He thinks morning exercises are only
a starter, and that to be healthy a
normal person needs a good deal more
throughout the day. He is SO active
in the studio that he occasionally as
saults the microphone, and it is neces-
sary to replace his mike twice as often
as they are replaced anywhere else.

and mentality in children. DIR. h. G.

do not tend to prove the ancient
warming. spare the rod and spoil

of the greatest inherent intelligence
are submitted to the least corporal
punishment by their parents.
The professor, who is head of the
psychology department at Drake
university. distributed his question
naire 10 a group of $500 school chill
dren after they had been classified
by an intelligence test.
The group of the lowest intclli-
gencc showed 40.67 per cent had
been subjected 10 corporal punish
ment, whereas the group Of highest
intelligence reported only 2445 per
cent.
The same questionable revealed
that boys are spanked much mora
frequently than girls.
