EvEREADY RETIRES:
SEVEN YEARS ON AIR
Pioneer in Field Had Large Part
in Development of Chain
Broadcasting.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 6-Afte,
seven years on the air, the Eveready
hour Is to retire from broadcasting
Rated as a pioneer sponsored feature
and credited with establishing many
innovations in the building Of radio
programs, the last of the present series
which has run continuously since De-
cember %, 1923, is to be discontinued
Tuesday night, December 16.
While it is the plan to come back to
broadcaSting at later date. the inter-
ruption in the feature recalls the nu-
merouS accomplishments of this pro-
gram.
Not only was 1t instrumental In the
orig1nation OF the chain idea of broad
casting, but it marked the establish
ment OF the continuity idea in program
building. 1t also Is believed to have
been about the first to adapt the drama
for chain broadcasting.
Under the guidance Of George Fur
ness, whose voice as master of cere-
monies was heard in many of the hours.
such features as He Knew Lincoln. y
Show Girl' and Joan of Arc" were
presented. One OF the earlier radio
war dramas also was put on.
Wendell Hall, who established himself
in radio as the "red-headed music
maker" is one of the pioneer enter
tainers still in broadcasting to have a
part in the hour.
The first Eveready program was put
on via WEAF on July 6, 1923, long be-
fore the establishment of the N. B. c.
chain. There was lapse until Decem-
Der %, the same year, when the net
work idea was given a try. That first
hook-up consisted of only three sta
tions, WEAF, New York; WCAP, Wash
ington, and WAR, Providence.
Gradually the number of stations was
increased, and when the N. B. C. was
formed with WEAF as one of the KEY
stations, the program became an i'm
portant network item. "A year or so
ago the chain was extended. to include
the Pacific Coast.

Los ANGELES, December GA
shield designed to eliminate all inter-
ference set up by an airplane motor in
radio communication has been put into
operation on the mail and passenger
ships Of q New York-Los Angeles flying
line.
The device Is development by wal
ter A. Hamilton. Its sole functtA, IS
the thorough insulation of every eIec-
trical part of the airplane motor.
In the first test the radio operator In
a plane cruising at $50 miles an hour at
1000 feet could hear the operator in a
ground station walking about the trans
mitting room.
The shielding is of aluminium, weigh
ing is pounds and covers all spark
plugs, magnetoes and current wires. It's
simplicity permits removal from the
engine without tearing down the motor
The shield prevents electrical dis
turbance set up by the motor from
reaching the radio equipment.

Because the addition of a new station

ed that WMAL will oppose the grant
