Keep in Touch With Expedi-
ton $500 Miles Away.

Washington. - Communications his
tory between organization headquar-
tiers and expeditions in the field is be-
ing written at this time in Washing
ton, where the National Geographic
society is in almost daily touch with
fits staff representative, Maynard Owen
Williams, who is with the Citroen-
Haardt Trans-Asia expedition among
the Himalaya mountains of northern
India 1900 miles away.
The reception of the frequent mes
sages that fly from this remote region
TO Washington is dependent On the c.
operation of the most elaborate net
work of amateur radio operators that
ever has been organized as an aid TO
scientific exploration.
Each evening at 6 p. m. eastern
standard time more than 80 of Amer
ica's most expert amateur radio oper-
ators, under the supervision of the
American Radio Relay league, listen
in for messages from the expedition,
which are relayed from a station in
Beirut, Syria, at the eastern end of
the Mediterraneans sea, more than
5000 miles from Washington.
In most cases the messages are
copied direct in Washington and are
telephoned a few moments later to
the headquarters of the National
Geographic society. On some occa-
sions, however, atmospheric condi-

FAR EAST BY RADIO

tons have been so bad in the Wash
ington area that it has been impos-
sible to receive the messages. At
these times some of the many other
listeners with more favorable cOndi-
tiOns in their regions have copied the
messages, and they have been quick
ly relayed to their destination.
During the period of more than
three months since the expedition be-
gan its trek across Asia no messages
have failed to reach Washington with
in few hours after they were sent.
The value of keeping in almost daily
contact with a field party which is
often far from ordinary channels of
communication has been demonstrated
on several occasions The most recent
of these was when a Geographic re-
port from Srinagar, a capital of kash-
mir, stated that the expedition had
found it impossible to negotiate the
14,000-foot Burzil pass in the Hi
malayas with it's motor cars and that
they had been abandoned. Fears at
the society's headquarters were set at
rest a few hours later when radio
message from the Notwithstanding
party itself, 100 miles north Of Srin-

agar, announced that the cars had
climbed over BurZil pass without Sc
rious difficulty and were proceeding
steadily on their way toward the In
-dia- Chinese-Turkestan border.
This is not the first experience OF
the National Geographic society In
communicating between headquarters
and field parties by means of radio.
With the cooperation of the Ameri-
can Radio Relay league the society
pioneered in such activities in 1929,
when numerous reports were received
through amateurs from the Macmillan
National Geographic-navy expedition
to northwestern Greenland, the expe-
dition with which Rear Admiral Byrd
obtained his first Arctic flying expe-
rience The technique of radio COM
munication has been greatly improved
since 1925, however. and the present
communications network is believed to
be more efficient than any similar or
ganization which has been in opera
ton.

Prior to the passage of this law al

Philadelphia.-Of the total of $780,
666 wage earners in 126 manufactur-

Reviews and News of Washington Theaters.

friendly conduct under the impulses
Of an understanding and courageous
nature. That kind Of q play is to
be found In "Ten Cents Dance"
which opened last evening at r. K.
o. Keith's.
Nobody, after viewing the pictured
incidents that lead up to the climax,
is likely to object to the perfectly
irregular proceeding as woman
who already possesses a husband
gives her promise to wed another,
without evidence that it Is anything
more than what had been expected
right along.
The plot of "Ten Cents q Dance"
though offering an unconventional
climax, Is much like many other
stories that have been put on the
stage or the screen. Benevolent in
stinctS lead to marriage, and the
woman sacrifices her own interests
as she undertakes to create a sue
ceSsfll figure out Of man who has
few elements of achievement in his
ensemble OF qualities. He proves to
be a monumental example of in
gratitude and of defective moral
standards in business and social life,
with the result that she is forced
into a most dramatic situation. In
the BACKGROUND is the man OF gen.
erotis instincts who helps both hus-
band and wife along the way. The
strength of the play is in the con-
sistently loyal attitude Of the wife
in the face of failure.
In the presentation Of such
story, there is opportunity to watch
the whole range of emotional ca
pacity which has given distinction
to the work of Barbara Stanwyck,
the star of the piece. Her quiet
but obviously alert approach to the
crises again stamps her work as ar
tistic and worthy of high praise,
with credit deserved for clear inter-
probation of character, and the abil-
ity to rise to emotional demands.
The result would be less effective
without the able assistance of Ri
cardo CorteS, who is not compelled
to meet requirements equal to those
provided Miss Stanwyck, but has
the poise and the vigor which give
strength to the play.
Not so well done Is the work Of
Monroe Owsley as the husband, but
artistic defects have the effect Of
adding to the presentation of q fig
ure which may be received with a
certain degree Of scorn. Scenes in
a public dance hall are shown with
excellent photography, while fairly
large cast. required for the various
scenes, includes Sally Blame, Blanche

mon, Martha Sleeper. David Newell,
