SYNCHRONY STILL
BROADCAST WORRY
Stations Soon to Make Tests
With Programs on Same
Wave Length.

Repeated failures have not deferred
radio engineers from pursuing their ef-
forts to solve the problem Of synchroni-
zation, or simultaneous and interior
ence-free operation of a multiplicity OF
stations on one wave length.
Once solved. the major i'll Of broad
casting, whicheis the overcrowding Of
wave lengths, viii have been cured.
New experiments in synchronizing
will soon be undertaken by group Of
leading Northeastern stations, which will
be linked together to broadcast iden-
tical programs on the same wave length.
The stations which win engage in these
tests, necessarily conducted after mid
night, are WEAF, New York: WGY,
Schenectady, and KDKA, Pittsburgh.
Later the scope Of the experiments
may be extended to include KOA, Dem
yer. and KGO, Oakland. Thus q real
trial of synchronization will !, be fur
nishetl, for all the stations are of high
over, al Of them are manned by highly
competent operating and test engineers.
Benefits Looked For.
The ultimate goal of synchronization
tests is to enable nationwide networks
Of stations to furnish their programs to
the whole country on single wave
lengths Presumably, the chains win
then own their own stations. which
will be strategically placed throughout
the country. Many more national
chains will be organized. for they VIII
REQUIRE fewer rather than more wave
lengths. At the same time the local
independent stations win have more
channels available to them.

Cent of Arrests Made With

Ninety-eight and half per cent of
arrests by the United States Park Po-
lice for the fiscal year ending June 80

tiny.
This statement is set forth by Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant. Sd, director Of Public
Buildings and Public Parks, in his an
nual report, in which he asserts that
"only SO cases were dismissed out Of the
total of 2,189 arrests made.
This high percentage of convictions
shows eonclusively that arrests are not
made without adequate cause and that
the park policemen are showing excel

authority" the colonel states.
Fines totaling $8,873 came into the
Golfers of Uncle Sam, as the result OF
activity of the park police, while $6,06l
was forfeited Twenty-eight stolen cars
were recovered.

SINGAPORE, Strait Settlements.-A
strange race Of man-eating sharks liv-

I'VE set up a laboratory under a

We were able to keep the fish until

cars frequently to transport live fish
to market, thus making up for the
absence of ice.
