~ ATHING suits now occupy very
II wardrobe. There is no less
H. thought. to be given them than
your most stunning evening
ensemble. No longer o something In
which only to sWim-and as such they
were more or less nonentities-a sue
cessful beach ensemble is now planned
from q viewpoint of becomingness,
bright colors that best suit one, and
with usefulness and application to the
sport in question as, of course, the
fundamental note. The pajama or
overall costume you intend wearing
must create an effect II you are to be
part Of the smart pageant on the sands
T 1T US consider the new bathing
suits themselves, II one can for O
moment separate them from their
eharming, completing comprehensive
pajamas and coats. There are, as
always, the wool jersey suits which
from the tried-and-found-sati
form of last year-that being a one
piece undersuit and short pleated trunks.
But In the way of trimming and line
and various other details about them,
the influence of the new and feminine
fashion Is obvious, so much so that
there is no mistaking an old suit for a
new one. We see the new ones lower in
cut, deep v outlines and the new U
decolletage that Is in our evening
clothes, which after all was the original
line of the sunback for sport. There
Is no more disillusioning sight than a
brown and white back with evening
clothes.
COME fnd 1t easier to be bothered In
no way with the slight deviation OF
line, the chance Of naked white flesh
peeping over the evening neckline-so
they forego the back to the bathing suit
entirely. And there are interesting ways
of doing this. Take for instance the
bathing suit with a square neckline in
front, and no back-here the shoulder
strap simply goes down under the
trunks.
Printed cottons, silks and piques are
faShioning some OF our newest SWIM
ming suits. And quite CHEEKY and smart
looking they are, too. In one-piece
slip-ons or suits built two-piece just
like the wool ones, they bring gayness
TO the beach panorama.

than they have been for many
l. months. Not precisely settled
perhaps, because fashions never
are settled and no normal-ninded
woman wants them to be. But they
are less chaotic, less experimental than
they were or II months ego, and the
young woman who is assembling her
reasonably certain that suits and wraps
and most Of the dresses that she buys
now will be in good style through the
Summer and well into the Autumn, and
that they will not look eccentric next
Summer No one Is looking for any
radical change In silhouette, in skirt
lengths or in the general temper of
fashions at the next showing Of French
clothes.
For the bride whose Summer plans
make cloth suit desirable would
suggest fairly lightweight sharkskin
or navy blue or dark gray. A charming
conventional tailor treatment of the
coat collar and lapels, trim waist line
without exaggerated fiaring at the hips,
and jacket extended seven or eight
inches below the waist.
TO be sure, there are charming wool
crepe suits OF the more dreSSmaker
sort, but the we'll tailored suit Of shark
skin or serge is sure to be as smart
next Autumn as it is at present, and
with the return of cooler weather may
be worn with fur scarf and knitted
wool blouse.
At present the cloth suit Is usually
worn with sleeveless blouse or vestee,
and the Chand suit that I most ad-
mire was worn with q white pique
vestee with frilled front made from
white pique.
White vestee with a front frill Of
white pique slashed with the scissors
into a coarse fringe A white pique
flower on the lapel and small brim-
med navy blue straw trimmed with q
little white grosgrain ribbon gave q
cool, crisp appearance to the suit. and

blue kid with fairly high heel.

A SPLENDID method of obtaining
roundness and symmetry of the
arms is to shrug the shoulders, not aim
lessly or In a languid manner, but with
purpose aforethought. s..
The arms should be dropped down
straight in front, with the hands
clasped all air being expelled from the
lungs at the same time.
Now take deep inhalation, forcibly
raising the shoulders as high as pos
sible. The breath should then be ex-
hailed, while the shoulders are brought
forward and around In rotary motion.
This Is q very simple, but remark
ably effective, "all-round" exercise for
reducing undue fat, burying bony prom
inences of the shoulder and collar bone
and smoothing out the muscles.
Every woman, even though she does
not appear at social functions In decol-
lette gowns, takes pleasure In possessing
beautifully rounded shoulders and arms
of graceful proportions. These are de-
pendent very largely upon O well de-
veloped muscular system. which must
be distinguished from fat.
Good musculature tends toward a
litheness and an elasticity that consti-
tute beauty In themselves. For such
development daily systematic exercise Is
required.

NEW SYNCHRONIZATION
EXPERIMENT PLANNED
Transmission of Some Programs on
Same Waves to Be Tried
in Pennsylvania.

Northwestern Pennsylvania will be
the scene of another synchronization
experiment, if the Federal Radio Com
mission authorizes Station WLBW, Oil
City, to erect booster" transmitter at
Erie, which would be linked by wires
to the Oil City station to carry the
same programs on the same wave
length.
Such synchronization has already
been accomplished between WBz,
Springfield, and WBZA, Boston, al
though it is now being abandoned there
in favor of high-powered transmitter
capable of covering both cities. Sta
ton WLBW is a member of the Co.
lumbia chain and would use the syn
chronizing system Columbia engineers
have perfected, in cooperation with
the Bell Laboratories, in their expert
ments between WABC, New York, and
Wink, Cleveland.
Although the Oil City-Erie synchro-
niZation is designed to give coverage
not now obtained over the Erie terri
tory, it is also possible that the syn
chronized stations would later be linked
with the synchronized Columbia net
work that may develop from the
WABC-WHK experiments.

McNAMEE'S QUESTION
BOX

@. Why don't Ted Lewis and his band
ever broadcast?-A. d. Enlow, Frank
lin, Nebr.
A. Lewis apparently is too busy In
vaudeville TO come In off the road and
settle down within reach of a micro
phone, although he does make phono-
graph records on occasion. On the
stage he is able to make more of hit
as master of ceremonies than he could
on the air. That may be one reason.
@. Would you please give me a de-
scription of Bill Munday, the foot ball
announcer? - Gertrude Berger, Aber-
deem Proving Ground, Md.
A. He's over six feet tall and we'll
built. He used to be q pitcher down
South, and looks it. His hair Is me-
dium brown, and during the season his
complexion Is ruddy. The rest Of the
time I'd call it medium. He slouches

| band plays a piece he likes in thor
oughly satisfactory manner.
Rare among conductors Of dance
bands or other popular units, White
man is a cellist. Most cellists, If they
become conductors, are likely to &C
classical. It seems almost tradition
Because of the cellos position in the
center of the orchcst stra its players are
usually supposed to be especially fitted
for conducting Some say its because
they are thus able to hear just how all
the other instruments ought to sound
Perhaps If Whitman hadn't studied
engineering out at the University OF
Denver thus interrupting, in way, his
musical studies, he might have become
thoroughly classical in interests, too
But it ended up in his becoming taxi
driver before he became successful In
taking jazz into concert halls.
When he isn't conducting he Is
meticulously dressed. Sartorially or
personally about the only things you
can hold against him are his loud
pajamas and his striped ties-which
sometimes look as if they were bought
to match the pajamas.
Josef Hofmann's Habit Outlined.
T HAVE heard Josef Hofmann, the
L pianist. called temperamental, but
have never known him to deserve IT.
Certainly in the broadcasting studios
ca his rare visits. he has never shown
more than a natural concern that con-
ditiops be right, with nothing TO pre-
vent his giving his best to his playing
He finds little more satisfaction In
playing for a visible audience than ne
does for broadcasting, but in the studios
Il foI concert q
recent Sunday night, there isn't any
chance for embarrassing incidents OF
the sort that nearly broke up recital
of his once upon time.
1t was several years ago, and Hof-
mann was appearing in the Middle West
ern city. In the front row there was
a man, evidently well beyond the first
stages of drunkenness, who was giving
no end of trouble. Some of the time
he was reclining In such ridiculous pos
lures that Hofmann could hardly keep
his eyes of hlm-which didn't help his
playing very much. The rest Of the
time the mans uncomplimentary re-
marks in the direction of the stage were
disturbing not only Hofmann, but also
those in seats nearby.
Finally it got so bad the pianist could
stand 1t no longer and he signaled to
theater attaches in the wings to have
the man put out. Hofmann stopped
playing while the manager approached
the drunk and asked him to leave.
1t went well at first, but when the
disturber was being led up the aisle he
changed his mind about leaving.
Shay" he muttered, Il paid to see
this show. You can't throw me out like
this!''
You're drunk" declared the man
ager diSgustedly.
Sure I'm drunk" admitted the other.
Think I'd attend piano reshital If I
wasn't?"
Hofmann continued the concert, but
he got mighty little attention from the
front rows until chorus of giggles had
subsidized.

RUMORED RADIO SALE
DECLARED BASELESS
Purchase of Station WLW in Gin
cinnnti by National System
Persistently Denied.

Persistent rumors that the National
Broadcasting Co. will shortly purchase
Station WLW, Cincinnati, one of the
earliest 50000-watters and possibly the
most widely heard radio station in the
United States. have been denied just
as persistently by officials of both the
National Broadcasting Co. and the
Crosley Radio Corporation. owner of
the station.
Conversations took place recently be-
tween M. II. Aylesworth. National Broad
casting Co. president. and Powell Cros-
ley, jr., but the latter gave definite as
surances that his station was not for
sale. The National Broadcasting Co.
recently acquired WTAM. Cleveland,
and its cleared channel of 1910 klo-
cycles by a leasehold arrangement and
acquisition of WLW would have given
it the cleared channel of 700 kilocycles
and a more regular outlet in the Gin
cinnati area for its programs
Moreover, a high-powered station in
Cincinnati would be a valuable adjunct
to the proposed extension of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. synchronization
scheme whereby networks of stations
will ultimately operate on identical
WavelengthS. Because it commands a
price of 81 ,080 an hour for its time, the
highest rate in radio, Station WLW at
present subScribes to relatively few
chain programs.

@. Why don't we hear more yodeline
in the radio like that in the Nestles
program?-Mrs. H. E. K, Sidney, N. Y
A. Probably for the reason that 1t is
considered kind of hors doeuvre. II

the air, the author of the books on
gangsters?-"Doris," Schenectady, N. Y
A. No, you are thinking of Donald
Henderson Clark. The Don Clark OF

A. Jewish ancestry. but I don't know
about the religious side, If that is what
you mean.
@. Is Edward Thorgerson a singer?-
B. j.. Fort Worth, Tex.
A. He has a baritone voice, but he
doesn't use it professionally. He has
been on the air, although not recently
as pianist.
@. How many stations are on net
works?-M. G.. Chicago, Ill.
A. About 100 out of more than 600 In

liam, Is Placed on Exhibi-
tion in Sydney.

SYDNEY (P).-A new musical COM
bination p!ayer-piano, radio and phono-
graph, designed by an Australian, is
being displayed here.
The instrument has the appearance
OF an upright piano, with a sliding
panel which reveals the player controls
and the front of the radio set. 1t is
claimed that the instrument has the
qualities of large loud speaker as the
piano soundboard acts as battle and is
used with a dynamic speaker.
The piano strings are automatically
damped when the radio Is turned on
The receiving set has three tubes.
The phonograph is housed in the
stool which accompanies the piano
The tops opens revealing a turntable
operated by an electric motor and a
phonograph pickup. The phonograph
is connected to the piano underneath
the keyboard, but there is a provision
for the use of an independent pickup
and turntable.

RADIO IS new STEP
IN FREEING" POPE
Vatican Station to Be One of Most
Powerful Among Small
States.

VATICAN CITY CP).-The Vatican
radio station, which for a state so small
as the Pope's domain is unusually
powerful, soon will be inaugurated.
The Pope has let 1t be known he him
self will not broadcast at the Inaugural
ton, but cardinal will probably read
papal message to the world.
Marks Further Release Of prisoner. )"
The station marks a further step in
the release of the Prisoner of the Vati-
can" The Lateran treaty of February,
1929, ended the physical Self-imprison-
ment Of the Pope; radio will enable him
TO reach out to every nation on earth.
AT present pepal kilograms and cables
pass through the ordinary Italian serv-
ices.
Senator Marconi, pioneer wireless in
ventor, has personally supervised the
installation Of the station. Marconi
has had many talks with Pope Plus XI
during and defore the building of the
plant. and explained to the Pontif its
various stages of development
Will Use Two Short Waves.
The Vatican station will use two short
waves, 1894 meters and 50.26 meters.
The shorter wave length is to be
used to communicate with distant
oIoCAOlLo, CLLc lOLlBeT LOT more local
communications On 1894 meters
the Vatican will talk with the
scores Of radio stations owned by Catho-
lie universities and colleges in the
United States and with outlying mission
stations as far North as Alaska.
The station is adapted for both radio
telegraphy and radiotelephony. It can
broadcast signals, or with the beam
system direct messages to single di-
rection.
1t has power Of IL kilowatts, de-
veloped by the Vatican electric power
plant, which is also a new thing. The
aerial towers rise on hill to the rear
OF st. Peters. They are f1anked by two
domes OF the Vatican observatory.
Apparatus of Most Modern Type.
The apparatus is of the most modern
type. A neat brick building has been
completed to house the apparatus. 1t
has seven rooms, five for the instru-
ments, one for visitors and one fors the
transmitting studio.
Erection of the station is evidence of
Pope Plus keen interest in the posi-
bilities of radio in church work. He
recently gave a long statement to this
effect: Some months ago he created an
American priest monsignor because of
his success with radio sermons.

RADIO FIELD THRILLS
NOW IN SH0RT-WAVE AREA
Shift Apparently Due to Fact That
Broadcast Circuits Are
Becoming Stabilized.

NEW YORK (P.-Much of the thrill
that accompanies the building of your
own in the radio set field has shifted
from the broadcast to the short-wave
territory.
This change apparently has been due
to the fact that broadcast receiver cir
cults have become somewhat stabilized
and do not offer the opportunity for
the home experimenter that they once
did Besides, short wave have opened
up the possibility of tuning in Europe
Basis for the shift is found in the
report OF one kit manufacturer that
since the introduction of the home-as-
sembled short-Wave outfit a year and a
half ago 100000 kits have been sold.
