filled . year ago. He recently told

must not be as contented as
cows" with the programs they

highly complex organization.
How many of you know that
on the coming election night radio
brOadcaSting will celebrate its
tenth anniversary?
It is. a fact. Away back on
election night of 1920 Station
KDKA inaugurated radio broad
casting as we know it now by
sending out on the air for the
Benefit of few experiments
bulletins on the Harding. Cox
election. There had been a few
Iintermittant broadcastS before
that, but this was the first real
broadcast service and really
marked the beginning of the in
duStry.
Results Of the next election,
viii be carried over 500 stations
to an audience of more than 4O,-
100000 persons.
In commenting on this phe-
nomenal growth, officials of the
Federal Radio Commission point
ed out that the industry has
moved forward in that brief time
from trivial investment for ex-
perimental purposes to one in
volving billions of capital in broad
casting stations and manufactur-
ing concerns.
It has raised the standard OF
living in the United States and
has given employment to hum
dredS of thousands of persons,
absorbing a large portion of
labor that otherwise would have
been thrown out of employment
through laborSaving devices and
other causes in other lines Of
trace.
AS it was broadcast Of infor-
nation that started off the in
duStry, so it has always been
similar broadcaSt5 that have
kept it growing to its present
status. While music, ranging
from popular compositions to the
classics, always has formed the
flash OF the broadcasting body,
1t has always been Informative
features and the ebroadcaSting
Of news and sporting events that
formed the backbone of the
industry. The world series, a
heavyweight championship bout,
o big football game, any one OF
these will always attract greater
radio audience than the greatest
musical program ever conceived.
