AN APPEAL FOR
UNMARKETABLE FRUIT

An appeal is being made to Island
people to contribute whatever I'M
marketable fruit they may have to
spare for the relief Of the poor and
needy who during the winter will be
in dire need. Many poor families are
facing winter with empty cupboards
and 1t is unfortunate If anything
should go to waste that could be used
by them.
All those having apples or other
fruit that they cannot sell to advant-
age may call the Goodwill Farm, and
pickers will be sent. England &c Peter
sen will furnish transportation. In
this way that which would otherwise
be wasted can be made to help Others
less fortunate than we.

a little bit silly-and frightened
Her first radio opportunity came in
Cincinnati, following a party in the
home of Powell Crosby. jr., who heard
her sing and suggested she join the
WLW staff. It was there that Paul
Whiteman heard her and induced her
to 60 to the N. B. c. Chicago studios,
where she made an instant hit on net
work programs.

RADIOS JOB AID
High Power Granted Is Stations
Requiring Installing New
Equipment.

At least . 5000, 900 contribution to-
ward industrial and unemployment re-
lief has been made possible by the
Federal Radio Commission as q direct
result Of its grants Of high power to IS
broadcasting stations throughout the
country.
That is the minimum figure. accord
ing to engineers, that must be expended
by these stations in the installation of
new physical equipment alone, while
maintenance costs, new studio equip
ment and other items of overhead likely
to accompany the enlargement of these
stations will swell that total several
fold.
The commission Thursday decided
the high-power issue in broadcasting
which has dangled before 1t for more
than year. As was expected, 1t did
not lift the restriction whereby all sta
tons operating on the 40 exclusive
channels are permitted to use the max
imum power Of so, 900 watts, but left the
clear indication that 1t might eventually
follow that course.
Nine vacant assignment for $4,000
watts were filled by the commission
from two dozen applicants. In addition,
six stations were authorized to increase
power from 5000 to 25,U0o watts. while
the remainder were denies outright In
only two instances did the commission
reverse the recommendations Of its chief
examiner. Ellis A. Yost, as to the so, 900
watt grants. and it failed to accord
$4,000 watts power to two other stations
recommended by Mr.. Yost.

Pratt in his patent application
does not designate the precise di-
mansions of his radio vanity case
beyond stating that it is exceed
ingly light and compact. 1t is
divided into two similar compart-
ments, separated by a false bot
tom, one of which is adapted to
carry the usual equipment of a
the tiny radio set.
A crystal set can be used, but
the inventor opposes alternatively
to insert tubes powered by a 48-
cell battery of the silver chloride
variety, providing AZ to so volts.
There Is variable condenser, and
the antenna is located in the cover
to act also as q tuning device.
Everything is poSitioned compact
ly, even the loops holding lipstick
and comb being utilized in the
circuit. The ground wire is pro-
vided with rewind springs and
automatic catch and release de-
vices such as are used on shade
rollers.
All milady has to do Is tune in
and the inventor says his set will
tune any program at almost any
time and any PLACES attach the
ground wire to an iron pipe some
where and turn the switch. There
are sockets provided so that the
circuit may be attached to ear
phones or to loud speaker; or.
If desired, the circuit may be of
the socket power variety. If the
earphones are preferred, the back
of one of them is formed of such
highly polished metal that it can
be used as small hand mirror.

YOU'VE heard much about
L bridge games and chess and
checker tournaments by radio, but
here's story Of a game of golf
played via the radio by contest
ants 1900 miles apart. Carson C.
Taylor, who operates amateur Sta
ton W6ESA, at $40 South Irving
boulevard, Los Angeles, and who
is the son Of the publisher of the
Manila Daily Bulletin, was brag-
ging to KA1SL, operated by I.
Stewart Linor in Manila, about
having shot an eagle on the eighth
hole at the California Country
Club. They were chatting over the
amateur wave lengths, and Linor
was asked to pass on the good
news to Taylor's "OM" (which Is
amateur parlance for "dadD.
The news was duly forwarded,
but "OM," out in the Philippine
Islands, failed to be impressed.
Radioing back, he offered to play
his son a match lasting one week,
the best cards of the week to be
compared. Results were matched
when the two amateur stations
worked their next schedule. The
publisher of the Manila Daily Bull

margin Of one hole.

RUDY VALLEE FINDS EYES
TO WHICH TOCROON SONGS

NEW YORK [P).-Peggy Moseley is
no opera star when she sings. but her
eloquent, lyrical eyes won her fame
when her voice failed her.
For five years her auburn hair and
large, lovely eyes made her an outStand-
ing member of the chorus. Too, she
was an excellent dancer and more than
one producer predicted that here was
material from which stars are made.
Peggys aspirations were to become q
prtma donna, and she had all the requi-
sites except a singing voice. It was
then that her luminous eyes lifted her
out Of the chorus up to the footlignts
as a principal.
Rudy Vallee was seeking a girl to
whom he could sing This is the
Missus" in the Scandals" Rudy, of
course, was to do the grooming. but he
needed a pair Of beautiful eyes to which
he could sing the song. This was
necessary. because the lyric went: Il
own those lips. I own those eyes"
He saw Peggy dancing in the chorus,
and there found the necessary eyes.
Now Rudy does the singing, and
Peggy furnishes the eyes, eyes which
were 50 sparkling on the opening night
that they drew strong praises from all
the critics

WABC's wave length likewise applies to
all other channels.
These and other definite engineering

effectively prescribe the limited area in
which boosters even If proven prac-
teal from every standpoint, may be
operated to re-energiZe the signal OF any
station. Every informed station man
ager or engineer who has endeavored to
get an increase in power or change OF
wave length knows the rigidity and In
f1exibility of the present ALLEGATION OF
wave lengths.
Even If the proposed booster idea
proves practical in daily operation and
there were q reallccation to accommo-
date synchroniZation, individual sta
tionS now affiliated with networks have
little, If anything, to fear because I'M
doubtedly other network programs would
become available to them when required.
Network stations already are finding
considerable demand for their time from
local interests, and their managers Oft
times are nonpluSsed in their efforts to
meet both local and network demands
for time. AS radio continues to develop,
not only as q means OF expression and
of entertainment, but as an advertising
medium there will be an increasing de-
mand for time on all stations.
incidentally, booster station can
not broadcast local programs and there
fore cannot compete locally for adver-
Using against existing stations or news
papers.
Suggestion Held Impossible.
There has been much discussion
about the possibility of synchronizing all
stations on one channel so that listeners
all over the country would receive that
networks program on one place on the
dial and on no other. Under the pres
ent ALLEGATION this is utterly impossible
and would become possible only in the
event that STANDARDIZATION proved prac-
teal to an extent to warrant the COM
mission ordering q general reallocation
to make such SynchroniZed networks
possible. In such reallocation, however,
opportunity would be afforded for sta
lions not now operating on the more IA
vored assignments to gain more advan-
tageouS positions in the radio spectrum.
1T Is the desire of the Columbia SyS-
tenn further to explore the SynchrcnlZa-
ton field, with the public as a CO.
operating partner to observe the results.
one Of the very few cities in which the
$50 channel fits without interfering
with other stations, because OF the
unique importance of the Nations Capt.

present to official Washington its COM
plete network service, and because all
members Of Congress and ofncialS and
staff Of the Radio Commission, the
Bureau Of Standards ana the radio d.
vision Of the Department Of Commerce
may observe the results at first hand.
THE Federal Radio Commission Is
determined in its desire to protect and
benefit the listening public, to which al
other interests are secondary, and 1t
may be relied upon to give careful con-
sideration to all factors involved in
the question of permitting experimental
